First of all, the rivalry between the Fire Ferrets and the Wolfbats could have been more fleshed out in general. Having The Wolfbats win the finals fairly and decisively would have made more sense.

Korra would have been distracted by her fear of Amon, which would have set up Amon as a bigger threat. She did also just join pro-bending, while the others had done it for a while.

Also, narratively, it would make sense to actually show that even such skilled benders were no match for Amon and his Equalists.

For the character Tahno, it would have made sense for him to legitimately be really skilled at waterbending and importantly, better than Korra. That way, when Amon takes his bending away, it feels more tragic and we can root for him to get it back. When Korra speaks to him afterward, it would have made sense for her to empathize with him and complement him.

I think they lacked the proper setup for a clean Wolfbat win to fit in narratively so they chose the easier alternative.

Either way, I still love LoK and I rewatch it every other year or so. What do you think?
