Wow, it was so weird! The story progressed so fast and slow at the same time.
Anyway, I have to say I rooted for the Equalists since the beginning, and this strengthened as the show progressed, cause Korra disappointed me a little. It's not like I didn't like her, but imo her character kind of lacked depth, because there was an inconsistent switching between seeing her from outside, as a character, and from "inside"- her motivations.
Anyway. It bothers me a lot how everyone's (who isn't an equalist) initial reaction to the Equalist movement was categorical rejection. I think the idea of bending as inequality was unjustly left underdeveloped
