What about him and her other followers?

She was raised by Su Lin, and therefore grew up witnessing firsthand a sociopath oligarch build herself an impenetrable fortress of a city and sit in the lap of luxury while Earth Kingdom peasants starved. It stands to reason she'd want to overthrow assholes like Su Lin and Prince Wu who did nothing to earn their fortunes and make it so everyone in the country who wasn't part of her personal goon squad lived a life of egalitarian subsistence.

Love of her country.

I'm serious - she explains it herself - The Earth Kingdom fell apart and she wanted to restore it. Suyin was content to let it fall so she went off on her own.

Yes she's harsh, but she's right and Prince Wu's solution at the end will only lead to more warfare as provinces that formerly relied on each other for trade begin infighting over resources.

Probably the thing about the Illuminati putting a puppet ruler in charge of her country.

>old monarchy de facto run by the secret service collapses after an assassination
>an idealistic military commander using a force loyal to them takes over, declares a change in management and starts violently piecing together a country that do to archaic feudal system is on balkanising.
>new dictator runs the country based on simple but shared goal while mixing modernism with military rule
jesus christ the analogies were so perfectly clear anyone who has browsed wikipedia should know this.

All the more reason why they had to make her a raving loony at the end to justify her being "evil". Might as well have gone full balls to the wall and had her start genociding non-earth benders.

This, if Suyin wasnt such a shit mother and person then all of this would not have happend.

>takes in a fosterkid, fuck it up so much that the kid turns in to hitler 2.0 because Suyin doesnt want to use her political and military influence.
>takes the moral high ground after kuvira is stoped and demands revenge, but forgives her own son as if it was nothing.

Why are there so many people in the korra series that are such pieces of shit.

She could have totally gotten away with it too, if she hadn't tried to get her hands on Republic City.
I don't think anyone wanted to pick a fight with her. The Firenation wouldn't get involved, the Watertribe is useless on a good day and the Avatar was still looking for non-violent solutions.

If she had just used the mech as a deterrent, all would have worked out for the better.
It's a shame really.

I feel like the Avatar would have eventually gone after it regardless.

>>86646154
Then there wouldn't be any plot.

Dictators usually live long happy lives as long as they don't mess with other countries.

Then why should I feel bad that Kuvira wanted to take it back through force?

>>86642001
nice of him to copy the style of his grandpa Sokka

>>86646154
she couldnt afford to pay for the huge army and fancy wartoys with the shitpoor provinces of the decimated earth kingdom. the Republic was rich, and annexing it would let her pay off her debts before her soldiers' paychecks started bouncing. In fact i'm 70% sure that her conversation from well intentioned law-and-order type to full dictator was driven mostly by financial reasons

>>86646653
If she is running out of money then a giant platinum robot is probably the last thing she should make.

>>86646695
big vanity projects that put you in the red and have little practical military value are a hallmark of military dictators. partly because of their vanity and lack of financial sense, and partly because their support base mostly consists of the soldiers and weapon researchers who fueled their conquest in the first place. so they have to find ways to pay for the bloated budgets of their supporting institutions, none of which make any money themselves.

And really if not for bullshit (i.e. the writers declaring "liberal republics are the only acceptable form of government") she would've kept winning. She's honestly the single greatest national leader shown in either ATLA or Korra aside from possibly Sozin.

>>86646006

She wasn't committing genocide and I don't really remember her espousing outright Nazi-esque racial shit. She was a fascist but not a Nazi.

No, the equivalent would be Russia conquering Alaska, holding it for over a hundred years, then conquering all of the United States through overwhelming military superiority so Obama has to ask Jesus's reincarnation to team up with Putin's brother and son to stop him from ruling the whole world and then expecting Putin's son to give back Alaska which is mostly filled with Russians by now. But in the end Alaska ends up under the control of the UN.

Is there more Kuvira propaganda posters? Pretty much the only good thing in Korra.

>She did have re-education/concentration camps
Did we ever see those? I dipped out after a while because I remember a lot of "KUVIRA TOTALLY HAS ALL OF THIS STUFF IT'S REALLY BAD" yelling but never actually seeing it or having real concrete evidence beyond what characters say.

>>86647421
We had a bunch of escaped prisoners, but no they never showed the camps.

She's perfect.

>>86647653
I didn't say she was perfect, just her reasoning and that her assessment was correct.

If Suyin had taken her call, the entire thing would've played out completely differently.

I wasn't implying you though she was perfect. Just saying that your explanation is the official stance, which is a bit at odds with what she did.
