Lol her story was worse. Both Unalaq and Kuvira were flat/dull psychopaths who only motivation was power. Initially both had plot that seemed more than it was.
Unalaq at first believes the world is out of spiritual balance. That people have ruined the spirits. And he believes Wan made a wrong decision separating the worlds. So he has deep spiritual beliefs even if a fanatic. But then the dude wants to kill Korra and be the only Avatar. So there goes the whole balance argument.
I could believe that over time he was corrupted by Vaatu. But then it doesn't explain why Unalaq was early on willing to betray his brother and had this vast plan to use Korra later on in life and then kill her. So basically, he descends into a raging psychopath that only wants power.
Kuvira implies she really cares about the Earth Kingdom and wants to restore balance. But then she quickly descends into a psychopath that only wants power. Slave labor camps. Mass deaths. Eugenics. I always get what I want. Then at the very last minute they shoe horn in a mother issue.
Both are bad. I can't decide which enemy is worse. I still hate Unalaq's design and his bending style. And Book 2 was a much worse story in execution. Although the actual plot was better. For one it had a plot hahah.
Actually I think Book 4 technically had a worse execution than Book 2. I mean in terms of how the plot played out. Book 2 just had sloppier writing for each episode which made it less enjoyable. Book 4s plot was a disaster of epic proportions. While the finale was much better than Book 2s purely in terms of action and pacing, and was more entertaining. The plot and just where the season went was awful.
