Mako got a little more screen time, but it was usually at the behest of Prince Wu, whose own role in Book Four ended up being overblown and routinely annoying (although his final moments were pretty strong).

Granted, Lin and Opal got their moment to shine in the enjoyable "Operation Beifong," but otherwise the ancillary characters were just kind of there. They were mostly just backup for Team Avatar, ever present but usually silent. Tenzin, Bumi, Kai, Lin, Opal and Kya (was Kya even there?) had pretty minors roles, at least compared to earlier seasons.

Other characters weren't featured quite as prominently in Book Four. (And let's not forget that silver tongue of hers!) But as far as being a direct rival for Korra, she did not disappoint. When it came to her rationale, she was a little underdeveloped and one-dimensional - not unlike Unalaq in Book Two. Alas, I wouldn't say Kuvira was my favorite villain. Their duel in "Battle of Zaofu," for example, was especially well done, including both stunning action and emotional content. While the two of them rarely met face to face, the few scenes they did share were often highlights in Book Four. She was a good match for Korra in that way, kind of two sides of the same coin. In a lot of ways, she was the complete opposite of Zaheer, striving to become a leader and savior for her people.
#AVATAR THE LEGEND OF KORRA SEASON 4 REVIEE SERIES#
IGN's The Legend of Korra: Series Finale ReviewThere was also Kuvira herself, who was a great villain for Book Four. All the subject matter just clicked into place. Allegories to war, dictatorship, PTSD, and weapons of mass destruction were all explored in Book Four - much like egalitarianism in Book Three - but they didn't ever feel biased or shoved down our throats. However, in terms of theme, Book Four was spot-on. Admittedly, the season dragged in places, specifically "The Coronation," "Reunion" and, most notably, "Remembrances" (the clip show). The overarching storyline - Kuvira's Earth Empire campaign - wasn't nearly as ambitious as Unalaq becoming the Dark Avatar, say, or Amon taking away peoples' bending, but it was still interesting. Going off that, as an afterword, Book Four was pretty darn great.
