Well it's never actually stated, it's just inferred from the fact that he knows all this shit about airbender culture, and the other 3 main villains represent the other 3 elements.

Right but I'm pretty sure he never says "I was going to teach you Airbending", he just says they were gonna teach her.
Although I wonder what their plan really was for Korra. Were they just planning to raise her and tutor her until she could go into the avatar state and then murder her, or was the plan to more or less brainwash her into being a red lotus avatar.

Zahir told her that they had hoped to train her and also make her see their point of view (ie, brainwash). It wouldn't have been hard, avatar or not, if she was just a tiny child to indoctrinate her. She was too old to brainwash now, though, so killing her was the only option in their plan.

Well the wanted her to open the spirit portals during harmonic convergence. They talk about having no plans for a Dark Avatar and are distressed at that turn of events. They probably intended the two spirits to continue their war and thus alter the world into constant anarchy thus eliminating the Avatar.

Need a compilation of all the fight scenes from this season. Definitely the best from any Avatar season.

I know that Korra ends with Book 4 and there are currently no plans to work on anything past that...
But part of me really hopes that a couple years down the road they do a 3rd series that progresses the cycle one more step and farther in time. Given that Avatars usually live quite long lives (Aang being an exception due to much of his tenure being spent in the ice block avatar state) we could expect Korra to live well into a close analog to the modern era. We could then see her successor native Earth bender living in a space age, especially if they departed from the current formula and showed an Avatar that was already well into their tenure at the start of the series. Having an Earth bender who travels to their moon, or even to another planet and thus a different 'earth' could set up a very interesting natural conclusion for the Avatar trilogy.
Aang being the end of the usual quasi medieval age, Korra being the primary agent of change in the middle age and the Earth bender as harbinger of the final interstellar age.

I'm not sure, the whole world is still sold as medieval fantasy with asian theme, advancing it into the future would feel weird, unless it's about technology phasing out benders and there are plenty of space for social and political analogies as it is. They have said that making the series is pretty draining, so they need to take a break after making a few, but they have not outright said "never more" :Nerdist Writers Panel #154: Legend of Korra/Avatar: the Last Airbender Nerdist

They should just give it to Marvel Studios and let them make some real Avatar movies and not that shit M. Knight released.
There was a rumor going around a while back that Netflix wanted to make the next Avatar show a Netflix exclusive, if/when it happened. Nickelodeon wasn't entirely unreceptive to the idea, maybe that is part of why they are transitioning to an online only delivery platform.
i hope it is netflix only.
1- higher budget possibility
2- can do a more mature theme though this one was pretty dang impressive.
the one thing that ...irked.. me is
