I don't agree with her, but I do agree that Aang didn't leave a peaceful era. People think his pacifism led to Amon and the Red Lotus. His using stolen land to create Republic City led to Kuvira in Avatar: The Last Airbender. There were issues starting with the South and North Pole waterbenders. He didn't do anything about that, and rightfully so, since there were more pressing matters. But it just shows the problems of the world are too much for one person to take on their shoulders, and that's what Legend of Korra is showing. Korra was trying to repair all the mistakes of all past Avatars, and it kept backfiring on her, but she made decisions for the greater good of the world not just humans, but all non-benders, all bending nations, and the spirits. The trailer for 7 Heavens paints her as the villain/monster because all humanity more than likely turned spirit energy into weapons, and that started to destroy the world again. They just needed to put blame on someone instead of taking accountability. This is shown in all trailers. Aang is seen as a deserter in his intro. Korra is seen as a flawless, all-powerful being who can't do wrong. But we learn Aang never abandoned the world. Korra wasn't perfect and shows that the Avatar makes mistakes. The Legend of Korra shows all the mistakes that past Avatars have made and all the wrongs that Avatars have caused, and she has to try and fix them. However, it is quickly shown that she can't do it all; no Avatar can. She had to make hard decisions that no other Avatar could make. Aang is too much of a pacifist to deal with any of her villains. Kyoshi would kill, but she never cared about peace; she just wanted peace for her and her nation. Roku was acting more like a public figure than anything. Kuruk despised the spirits, and Yangchen cared more for spirits than humans.
