I think they're trying to make up for the shortcomings of Season 1 by introducing a situation in which pacification of the rebel sector is not the correct route to take. Unfortunately they're doing it all with the subtlety of a power drill and stringing along most of its cast with Do This Because Plot Says So in order to accomplish it. Classic bad writing.
I also suspect some element of lack of quality control is at play -- I feel like some things about Eska and Dezda could have been funny, but were so mishandled that they came off exactly as cartoonish as their premise was. Same to Tenzen 'n' sibs: Theoretically interesting premise, unfortunate presentation. I know they outsourced the animation work but I can't help but wonder if that meant that some important step in editing was also nixed or something.
And evidently that's enough that Korra can look over the fact that he's leading a fucking invasion force in the south pole? <-- this is absolutely my biggest complaint with this season and the reason I've been playing Animal Crossing while half-watching the episodes.
