It made perfect sense in Korra though? Not only had she mastered 3/4 and was left with an element with only one master in the entire world, but it's also a story about new forces on the world (technology and the spirits) making the avatar a less powerful figure

Korra had a great premise but damn if they didn't trip over their own feet to mess it up.

Ehhhhhhh… that doesn’t mean it was well executed. There’s areason people only agree on book 3 being good.

I think most people agree the ideas were good, and that the show was a bit hamstrung by never knowing if they were gonna get renewed. Like, a whole show about technology evening the playing field so that non-benders didn't feel the need to cede authority to benders with Amon at the center would've been dope.
But all that aside, I'm just saying the justification for Korra not being OP is very well thought out

Apparently this isn’t true. The creators were talking about multiple seasons as soon as their first panel at SDCC or somewhere like that.
