Korra on the other hand, was in a tight spot and she looked desperate and scared. So it was hard to understand why Korra was able to suddenly discover her first airbending technique during a circumstance where her present state of mind shouldn't have allowed her to do so at all. So to this extent, I kind of agree with Kaijo. It could've been handled a little better.

I know Aang was fully capable of using airbending techniques in similar situations all the time, but as a master air bender, at least Aang was familiar with the feelings and the mental state of mind he needs to tap into to airbend on a moments notice, regardless of the situation. Korra didn't have that advantage during her fight with Amon.

Nicely pointed out.
