But after seeing season 3, and knowing the goal of the red lotus, of which unalaq was a member, doesnt his end game make sense?  At least in terms of what the red lotus wants for the world.  They want to return the world to balance, to the natural order, which they interpret as disorder.  What better way of accomplishing that then merging with vato...

Yes but the Red Lotus wanted a world with no avatar. Unalaq was just trading a Light Avatar for a Dark Avatar.

No, the Red Lotus wanted a world free government.  It wanted the world to revert back to its natural order of disorder.  Basically, the Red Lotus just wanted the world to be in chaos.  Destroying the avatar was an important part of that process, but was not their end goal...

Unalaq sought to become the dark avatar so that he could be in control of the world and bring chaos to it.  It is basically just a slightly more warped version of the world that zaheer sought is all...
