When I saw them cutting into the trees at the end I shouted Yes! It would be interesting to see what tricks Toph has picked up over the past few decades.
Kuvira is also starting to seem like a caricature at this point. She makes Ozai seem like Mr. Rogers.
I'm actually surprised that the swamp didn't retaliate on its own. Every other entrance to the swamp we've seen from the teams avatar were initiated from vines directly from the swamp itself. Why wouldn't they reach out to defend themselves?
Knowing what Toph is capable of, she should have no problem taking out Kuvira and the small contingent of soldiers that are accompanying her. Toph specializes is humiliating the fuck out of Earthbenders.
However, since this is a show about Korra, Toph will soundly lose and we will all break our monitors in rage.

If it actually turns into a fight there's no way for this to happen
Mike and Bryan hold one thing sacrosanct in terms of ass-whoopings: if you are a bad-ass, you get more bad-ass as you age, not less, because your kung fu is stronger
Toph now is probably even worse than Bumi was at Ozai's defeat

I really just want it to be, Toph comes out attacking with Kuvira getting ready to fight her when she gets within range. Then realizes who it is and immediately orders a full retreat of all her forces.
She gets enough spirit vines from the tree to do what she wants, Toph gets to be the badass she is, and Kuvira isn't defeated. (Plus the Tree gets to stay around)

I like this, but I think it should be Baatar Jr. who recognizes Toph rather than Kuvira herself.
He sees Toph (or feels through the earth or recognizes her technique when she crushes a half dozen mech suits or something) and tells Kuvira they have to leave, now.
"Why? Because of some mud dwelling earth bender hermit? I have the greatest army the Earth Kingdom has ever seen at my command!
"No, because that's my grandmother, and she doesn't care about our army.
Cue slow realization, then general panic and retreat.

Oh yea. Of course, there's always the possibility that Kuvira will either cheat or use B Jr. as a hostage.
I cannot see how Kuvira having a hostage would possibly hold Toph back.
I was going to put something witty here but stumbled into something on GIS that burns my eyes in the worst way possible.
Instead, let me say that I agree whole heartedly and that I am now picturing ways Toph would overcome a hostage situation. Chief among them, smash them before they feel pain or fear.

Toph invented the earth bender truth sense. I think she'd be able to tell that Kuvira was bluffing.
And, if Kuvira wasn't bluffing, well, I think a bad time would be had all around.
I feel like TLA can get a break since it's a show skewed somewhat younger, but I don't think the focus was ever about the villain. We don't even really see Ozai until season three, whereas Kuvira is prominently featured in every episode. She's basically PG Hitler at this point, so I think any shot at nuance is gone. I'm really hoping this doesn't boil down to "Korra gets over her shit and Avatar States Kuvira into the ground" because I was expecting the theme here to be more along the lines of more peaceful conflict resolution. It would have be real nice to have Kuvira as feeling slighted because she did all this work only to have it all go to some undeserving royal, but go about the whole thing in the wrong way. And Korra basically finds a way to set her straight that doesn't just involve throwing rocks and fire at her.
Asami/Korra is slightly possible, because by the time they were working on the final episodes it might be around the time they found out they were going to be online-only. Being the last season of the series and online-only might be enough for Nick not to give a fuck about any moral outrage (and, to be cynical about it, there's plenty of positive PR to reap from being one of the first major kid networks to have a gay relationship). But I dunno when book 4 started production, so who knows when these episodes were written.
I think that if the fans are going to get recognition that Korrasami is a thing, that the most Mike and Bryan would be able to get away with would be a focused shot on the two of them holding hands (or one of them grabbing the other's when they see Shit Get Real) at the end of the series.
Wasn't Cartoon Network's Clarence going to have the first same-sex kiss on children's programming but CN jumped in and stopped it? I can't imagine Nick will be any more progressive than that, even if it's online.

I know I've spent too much time on the Internet because my brain kept filling in words after "other's" there.
I feel like the first three seasons were about Korra failing because she tried to beat up the villain and failed.
This season it looks like Korra is trying to solve things peacefully for once, but this is finally one of those villains that just needs a good whoopin'. I think that's where the drama is heading towards. Finally knowing when to beat and when to parley will be the big lesson here.

Snot bending.
Kuvira's army ended that episode in what might the absolute worst possible place
That or Toph won't care
I wonder which is more likely? She's looking for an excuse to knock the shit out of some people
But Kuvira might actually order retreat if Toph shows up
but if you show up at her doorstep well you're gonna have a problem
But part of me would kind of love if Toph just destroyed Kuvira's entire army because they accidentally pissed her off.
Also man both stories in the episode were really good. Nice to see reunions and the Bolick... uh... Varlin... uh... the B-V duo continue to be great.
Makani dot dot dot tumblr dot com continues to provide the quality
Kuvira (with a smirk): "Don't think you can challenge me, old woman. I defeated the Avatar!"
Toph: "What a coincidence! So did I!"
*fight*

Replace Fire Nation with Earth Nation and Kuvira might not be that far off, you know, with putting people in prison camps and all.
Unless Kuvira plans to brainwash them into being her soldiers like the Earth Queen tried to do with the airbenders.
I swear I'm going to be called stinky and freak out.
#2 I'm really happy Korra mentioned her training to someone!

What was that line?
"She's like an older, crankier version of Bei Fong."
"Is that even possible?"
That got a few laughs.
Holy shit, Opal was the only female child of Suyin's! No wonder she was so possessive last season.
