That... ended alright. I guess. A final battle against a giant mecha suit with a laser cannon. Well at least we know that's probably what kuvira was making all the villages under her command do, dig out platinum ore to build that giant thing. Although I don't know how she could have kept that on the down low.

So after Korra saved her life from the spirit gun that she blasted, a new
spirit portal was created and kuvira decided to stand down and accept the punishment heading her way. Seems a little too neatly wrapped but sure why not.

One thing I want to mention is that someone said that Korra's character evolves and the show is trying to show (and outright state) that she's more compassionate and whatnot now, but it's not like the Korra of seasons 1, 2, or 3 would have killed kuvira or anything like that either so... I don't know what would have changed.
