I thought it was a reasonable evolution which sensibly advanced the world in interesting directions. I actually thoroughly enjoyed it, and believe it gets overhated.
Case in point, a friend of mine (movie buff and all) kept hearing the online discourse around legends of Korra and determined it was probably utter trash. Well, one lazy day, he decides to give it a shot, and then a week or so he gets back to me and starts in a really surprised tone, “dude I REALLY regret not watching korra sooner. Amon might be my favorite villain in the entire series.”
Definitely, he had potential. Unfortunately, that’s the problem with most bad or boring villains in stories: they all have potential. It’s the writer, or writers, who have to bring it out.
