  It's the same exact problem I had with Legend of Korra, and why I never watched after the first episode.  In the Last Airbender, he only knew one elemental power, air.  The rest of the show was him growing as a person, trying to master the other elements.  In LOK?  Oh, she just has most of them mastered as a small child.  Why?  Girl power, I guess.

Slight change of topic, but this part at least is wrong. Korra mastered everything but airbending by the time her show starts because she's much older than Aang was, and had been specifically trained to be the Avatar for longer than Aang was alive in the original series. She's eighteen when her series starts, and just passing the firebender test. She's about where every non-Aang Avatar had been at that point in their lives. In spite of that, she starts the series being absolutely worthless as an airbender. Basically, she had her "grow as a person, trying to master the other elements" part done off screen for three of the four, and the first season is her attempt at the fourth one.

It's also worth noting that she never really comes across as better than Aang at any point in the first three seasons, and I would argue is actually a pretty bad Avatar overall.

Obviously, Leia was too old to handle the hardships and peril involved with the treacherous journey to find Luke. Rey was the right choice.

Oh. The journey wasn't perilous at all? Just a five minute flight and some stairs? Never mind.

Old folks have bladder problems that make long flights difficult, and what if she fell down those same stairs, huh?
