@shroudofsorrow: There is a massive difference between a 14 year old and a 19 year old physically and mentally. The power pack is a terrible comparison as I assume they have different powers which could be like comparing a sword with a gun, a better example would be a starting Peter Parker vs Miles Morales.
Then any of the benders in the original Gaang (Katara included) could handle the same foes Korra could. And I still believe that age is not necessarily the key to success. It depends entirely on the person, or in this case, the character. The argument that older always equals better doesn't work. Otherwise Dooku would have never lost to Anakin. And I stand by the Power Pack>Spider-Man example because it is not like "comparing a sword and a gun". Peter has superpowers as well. Of course to be fair I don't really believe that Power Pack is better than Spidey so I suppose that nixs that argument.
And yes, I do agree that the Peter/Miles example is much better.

Korra has very few combat water bending feats but everyone of them is very impressive being able to floor opponents instantly both times in the ring so it's up to basic common sense to explain why she is much better than Katara. She has the rank of master in all elements except air from a young age and was gifted from the start unlike Katara, she enjoys the art of fighting and likes the idea of improving her techniques, she is older and close to her physical and mental prime,the amount of training and facilities that Katara had compared to Korra is laughable, Korra had years of training which gives you the time to move by reflex that Katara doesn't have and finally she is the Avatar which means that in terms of raw power she is at least anyone's equal or better.
I don't dispute this, with one exception: "amount of training" is a less legitimate argument then actual feats. Katara may not have had as much training as Korra, but she still has the feats to back up her skill. And she did learn from Master Pakku, who considered her to be his best student. And it was she who continued Aang's waterbending training. We also don't know how long Korra spent learning waterbending. We can only assume. We know that she spent what looks to be roughly a decade or so learning earth, fire, and water, but how much time she spent on each element is unknown. The only thing we do know for certain (other then again, the fact that she was considered to have her completed her training in all 3) is that firebending was the last of the three that she was considered to have completed.

Your last paragraph makes no sense as you make it sound like there was multiple chi blockers there was only one chi blocker in LOA and most of the characters you've listed never actually fought with Ty Lee so you appear to be making things up.
Chi blocking isn't that dangerous as it would be far more effective to simply use a knife it's the unnatural agility the show had to give them so they would be a credible threat.
It is a list of characters capable of downing the same foes Korra could. I am not "making things up"
And yes, the Equalists needed to be a credible threat, but come on. That level of agility was inhuman and easily comparable to what Spider-Man can do. Its a little overpowered, but that's just my opinion and irrelevant to the topic at hand.
Regardless, this is not Korra Vs. Katara but Katara Vs. The Fire Ferrets. But all things considered maybe I should have posted the former fight instead. Ah well.
