That's not really on Kora, but rather the writers. Probably the worst decision on their part in LOK.

Fr, it's really hard to believe her losing that fight.

Is it? Her uncle is one of the most spiritual characters and was fused with a much more powerful spirit in vaatu

The whole thing with Raava and Vaatu was also bad writing. Too black and white, not to mention incredibly boring.

Okay I can maybe understand not liking the whole black and white thing but the avatar Wan episode was anything but boring. Honestly, it might be my favorite episode from both series

I do like Avatar Wan himself, and I did like the episode. What I found boring was the concept of pure good and pure evil being introduced to a formerly very Buddhist inspired world. The Avatar was formerly supposed to upkeep balance and not just keep the Big Bad Evil Guyâ„¢ at bay. I don't have any issues with people who liked that aspect, I just personally hated it and found it to be an absolute bore.

Not to mention also contradicting what made spirits become unbalanced was often damage to their sacred places or oathbreaking/confusion.

which is crazy cause the avatar was never about black and white. It was about balance.

Sure but that doesn't mean he instantly knows how to utilize Vaatu's power

Why not? He’s literally been prepping for this since korra was born

How do you "prep" for receiving a power that's never been obtained before?

Without the soul sucking tongue tentacle move Korra wouldn’t have lost right where she was standing.
