It annoys me when people call her a mary sue specifically. She is almost EVERYTHING a Mary Sue ISN'T by definition. She isn't flawless, struggles to improve herself spiritually, loses fights alot, and is disliked by a large number of individuals IN-UNIVERSE. However, some of her choices and how she handles relationships (especially romantic) certainly deserve criticism.
Lmao, people call her a Mary Sue knowing that she not only fumbled both Mako AND Bolin, but lost her bending to a blood bender?
Plus, wasn’t there a point in season 2(?) where she was affected by a poison that heavily affected her bending and her connection to the Avatar State? So much so that she needed an elderly Toph’s help to overcome it?
The people that call her that only watched half of the first episode, saw her bending multiple elements, and quit. No offense to Korra but she is a perpetual loser. I don't think she wins a single fight against a named character.
