They wanted Korra to be Aang's antithesis. He was the reluctant hero, she was "I'm the Avatar, you gotta deal with it!"
Aang had a much more consistent character arc, growing into the role of the Avatar and shouldering the responsibility. It was a very grounded and human story, magical element powers aside.
The biggest problem for Korra was, the writers didn't want to let her stay grown. Korra would do something stupid and then get a chance to learn from it and settle herself down. But then just an episode or two later, she's back to acting like the dumbass hothead that got her in trouble before. And that was just season 1.
By season 2, they added all this poorly-written mythology and Korra fucks things up by breaking the barriers between spirits and letting them run wild on the human world.
The dialogue kept talking about the past being a time when humans and spirits lived in harmony yet we're shown a world where humans have to live in cities on top of the dragon turtles for protection from the spirits and get their bending to protect them from the hostile cunts.
And when Korra allows spirits into the human world, they're just as destructive as they were in the past with Juan. Yes, I know it's supposed to be Wan, but fuck it.

Zaheer was a good villain and made season 3 worthwhile. Season 4 managed to be even stupider than 2.
