I actually can’t believe people are actually taking Kuvira's sideeven after the latest episode, so I want to address the fact some think she’s not the villain and is completely justified in her actions. Do you know who else took advantage of a broken nation, promised all its people a better standard of living condition, was a charismatic speaker, loathed the idea of a monarchy due to the fact it was 'weak' and threw their opposition into prison camps? Adolf Hitler. Kuvira is basically an analogue for Hitler's early years of ruling. Think about it. After WWI Germany was a mess so along comes Hitler who promises to all people of all classes that he will heal Germany and for the most part he manages to improve a lot of aspects of German life. After the assassination of the Earth Queen and the anarchy in the Earth Kingdom Kuvira steps up to repair the damage done and rebuild the Earth Kingdom. Hitler was loved by the masses despite his intimidating exterior just like Kuvira. Hitler also pressured the development of new technologies just like Kuvira. Hitler changed the laws of Germany so that he could become a dictator and didn’t have to answer to President Hindenburg. Kuvira usurped power from Prince Wu so she wouldn’t have to deal with a King being above her. You see what I mean. Kuvira may seem like a good candidate to lead the Earth Kingdom but she’s just one step away from becoming another Ozai or Chin. Even Kuvira’s offers to provinces in the Earth Kingdom to join her or perish parallels to Hitler’s policies. Any opposing political party he either absorbed or destroyed. Kuvira uses fear mongering to get what she wants and straight up threatens to attack Zaofu unprovoked. I have no idea how anyone at this point can think Kuvira is a liberal leader who just uses tough love. At best she’s a dictator, at worst she’s an autocrat and I can’t wait for Korra to give her a taste of her own medicine.
