Okay this is event about the kora
Let's start at young age she goes three out of four elements and someone try to assassinator that made all of the adults around her be super protective, when she finally gets out her cage and she tries to help someone she gets chased off the by the police .
At the end of season 1
Kora sees a bender that she admired lose her bending (lin) only after that she became a realized Avatar only after being electricuded and losing all of her elements.
Yes she gets it all back but the emotional damage doesn't heal up.
Season 2 after meeting on for the first time in making somewhat of a connection with him and admiring his bending she needs to fight him and she lodes to him and rava dies, only a few weeks or months before she made a connection with her.
yha she got her back but the truma stays.
Next season 3
on the quest to revive the air nation she gets to the earth nation, she meets lin sister and with that she learns about lin's biggest lies or Secrets , one of the elit tusted man turns out to be in League with the White Lotus after they try to kidnap her again, later that season what she tries to go to the earth Kingdom and negotiate with the queen she sends a group of people on a wood ship to capture her, well being in League with the White Lotus, only with Assami's technical skills they get out cross the ship and then with Assami's help they rebuild something to get out of the dessert.
At the end of that season kora almost dies while in the Avatar state.
Yes she survives in the end and she heals up and the White Lotus loose but she still gets a lot of time out of that .
Throw out her entire life everyone is very protective of it to the point it feels like a cage, if a person that isn't and that she admired lies betray her or has somthing very traumatic happened to them,
When she gets out if the cage no one likes her as the avatar, the first person that she doesn't tell that or show it to does then he asks her out and she does not like him, she liked his unemotional stoic bigger brother, there relationship doesn't go well, then she needs to tolerate him being with someone else.
Throughout all of this the only person that I've seen her struggle is katara and maybe toph.
after season 3 kora and assami get closer why became assami is the only one that helped and listened.
summarize kora went throw hell and yes everything turned out to be better but the truma was still there.
No one ever let her be the leader that don't make our own choices, nobody even listen to her ask her how she's ask her she's feeling, her truma is never addressed.
A season 4 she goes away from all if it to the swamp, she meets toph and gets to talk about her feelings a bit, she gets the poison out and thinks that solves all of our problems but the real problems there were truma, gets a placebo effect from finding a solution to a problem that helps but it's not the main problem.
And yes you might say out of avatars had it worse. But let's look at the good avatars we know about and the only really good Avatar is aong, since he woke up from the iceberg he had Katara someone who could talk to about his feelings and he did it a lot he talked about his culture he talked about how he misses it, we see him reaserchers solutions to revive it...
His whole species was wiped out and he was the last one and still he didn't get angry he didn't kill anyone he was a good person and he was a good Avatar and the reason for that is he had someone to talk to and biggest mistake letting his culture die and running away but if you stay there you don't know if you would have survived or not in my opinion he wouldn't have made a difference.
On the other hand if kora wasn't there we will have a crazy water bender that can blood Bend and remove bending running around freely her uncle would becoming the evil avatar.
The White Lotus would have killed another Avatar as a child. The avatar cycle would end and rava wouldn't be taken out of vathow.
In conclusion she went to more chaos in the few years we've seen in her series then aong entire life, she had no friends or adults that listen to her or considered her feelings above the age of 80 or somthing until assami.
Comparing her to aong is dumb, and had constant emotional support and he was a Airbender in the world where no one knew how to fight them because they were dead for 100 years.
She had so much trauma no one that considered her emotions she needed to fight a bloodbender an energy Bender and an elite group of benders that tried to kidnap her in the past so she probably had someone suppressed memories about them, and ptsd after there tried to kidnap her in her sleep, she 100% got ptsd after the poisoning, then she needed to fight an elite metal bender .
Throw out all of that she stayed alive and mostly one in the end of the series we have another avatar coming up and yes she lost the connection to the Past avatars, now in the new series the world is in chaos but the avatar is still there to help.
And tell me after all of the trauma she go in 4 seasons you expect her to save the world from an events that can lead to the seven heavens?
These friends come after me seeing a short thas has an hot take that after season 1 assmi is kinda useless, and that was the straw that broke the camels back for me I hated the kora hate for a long time but hating on a assami?! . it made me write this, I hope that it will get to the right people and the people will stop hating on both of them .
