Same here. If it was boring it wouldn't be worth talking about.

No, I think it's going to be deeper in each episodes. We never know where it's going to lead. Sure we can make speculations, but, who knows really ... |

Second off, duh. But, Amon does have a sound logic not to take her bending away, Korra has to be a failure/villain to the world before he 'takes her bending', so... i doubt he can take bending away, but at least he makes it plausible that he can. |

Korra challenged him to a duel because she was scared and wanted to try to prove she wasn't. |
I concur, but I also have a belief Korra was pressured into dueling Amon.

Only in this episode so far, because in the previous one she saw a kind of foe she never imagined before. Someone who was making sense while saying that her entire existence was wrong. Amon's speech probably got into her, Korra from the start left it clear that she had no plan, she had no idea what she'd do as an Avatar, so it's not that difficult to make her doubt her beliefs. A disadvantage of being an 'acting' Avatar as such a young age.
Miista wrote: She avoids the problem, rather than tackling it.
Only this time so far because she had no idea How to tackle it and was worried her bending would be taken away.
See, there's a difference here, though. Aang had years of monk training, Toph traveled in a group with a master airbender, an experienced warrior and a motherly waterbender, she quickly learned of restraint and stuff, plus her earthbending style was all about reacting. Korra was secluded in a prisonish camp and learned aggressive (and standard) styles of water, earth and firebending. She's also a first in that she's the Avatar, unlike the previous Avatars who are people of a Nation and then the Avatar, Korra didn't grow up with the mentality of a waterbender to tackle her Avatar training when she grew up, she was just the Avatar while the world was getting their Industrial Revolution on. Miista wrote: She has traits of Toph, but I'm also seeing traits of Aang now. At first she was a loud and aggressive character which resembled the oppositeness of the humble airbender Aang, so I believe we all believed that she was more the Toph who was an Earthbender (also the opposite element of airbending). However, Korra is now changing and becoming more irrational...I won't say Aang was irrational... but Aang was not completely rational either. She even makes silly mistakes like how she went out to see Amon on her own and was ambushed. It reminded me of the many times Aang failed in fights (once again, I'm not saying Aang failed in all fights either).
As for the irrational right, again, no identity from a nation, she was completely unsure how to tackle Amon (specially since she was just learning that tackling things head-on wasn't always the answer thanks to her airbending training) and suddenly Tarrlok pushed her into the raid, a fight that earned her respect from an authority figure and the city, so that pushed her to thinking that fighting Amon was the right choice.
What fights did Aang fail again?

@Above: Well, i'd say Aang didn't lose as much as Azula plain won. Aang unlocked the avatar state, he managed to get it all together to confidently play the god card and Azula just struck at the perfect time to kill an unsuspecting Aang.
IIRC, in that fight he managed to subdue Azula, his entire side got out-played by the fire nation and a retreat had to happen.
He wasn't really involved in that fight, Toph just had to pick what to do.

It depends on what you consider a lost and what you consider a win. I count Aang getting captured by those archers as a loss. But I mean are you talking about one on one bending fights or actual combat where anything goes?
Was anyone else disturbed by how Korra was basically a prisoner while doing her training up until Tenzin? I understand wanting to keep the Avatar safe after what happened with Sozin, but keeping the Avatar disconnected from the people she is supposed to protect seems very faulty. Isn't the reason the Avatar reincarnates as a human to connect with humans and so he or she actually cares about the people they want to protect?

I think they wanted to keep her safe until she mastered all the elements, then address the issue. Plus, who know's if anyone outside Republic City even KNOWS that there's a revolution going on. Maybe they didn't even think the Avatar was needed currently.
