I'm not sure you realize it, but she did not kill him. He was fucking retarded and stayed there and the ground just HAPPENED to crumble down.
Please re-watch the series and read the series. It was rare for an Avatar to actually kill someone. The reason why Aang was about to kill Zuko was because out of pure emotion.
Avatar Kyroshi said this to Aang when he said what you're saying. "I don't see the difference". Then she went on to say she would have killed him if he didn't die there. Then he goes on to ask the other pacifist Air Avatar what she would do and she said the Avatar's duty is to the world, and he should be prepared to sacrifice his belief in non-killing, to serve the world. But note: I never even mentioned killing in the original post. The only reason I brought up Kyoshi is because every Avatar Aang has spoken to has said killing is needed; At no point did I say it was common, just that it was done, over and over again during each rebirth. (Hence every Avatar advocating it.)
Also, he was about to kill Zuko because Zuko asked him to if he felt it was right. It wasn't pure emotion, it was Aang dealing with the stress of being in charge of another persons moral compass. Zuko even apologizes for that later, that specific thing: Asking Aang to be in charge of his morality. Again though, this example was meant to illustrate killing a
leaderis NOT outside the Avatars sphere of influence if it's required.
Nothingmore. Because the premise of his post was that killing a leader would throw the world into imbalance and that's why it's not done. Yet many Avatars said they would do it, or have done it and/or have removed leaders.
Yeah, I need to rewatch the series. Maybe you just need to get through a few posts accurately?
Here is the original post.
What I don't get is why the Avatar is pussy footing around her uncle. We've pretty clearly been shown that the Avatar ranks above the spiritual lords of the respective realms, here.
Do they explain later why she just doesn't Avatar state and smack her uncle down, and tell him he's going tojailor some shit?

AlsoI said smack him down andtoss him in jail. He can still be useful for his connection to the spirits, if that's what she wanted--she has the power totake him down politically and force the subjugation of the tribe. Again, Roku did that to the Firelord himself, in the scene I linked,because he didn't want to kill him--so he blew up his throne, dismantled the colony and embarrassed the shit out of the Firelord. About a dozen other Avatars did stuff like that as well (The Avatars Aang met on the Lion Turtle is essentially list times they've done this.)
No
killingwas mentioned, even. I even illustrated how other Avatars have done it without killing. I don't even know where the hell you two are getting that from, it's an absurd derail twist you guys have plopped in, I don't know why. The original premise was why doesn't she just go Avatar state, kick his ass, toss him in jail and say "you're no longer the leader". You know, like has been shown in
everyprevious incarnation of the Avatar when they've met a corrupt leader? Which is why my original post said it's pretty obvious the Avatar ranks above respective spiritual leaders in terms of authority.
Using the Avatar state to dethrone a leader was twisted into "murdering everyone in her path", for what reason? Not sure. But the
followingpost was only showing that killing
HASbeen done, and every Avatar we've
EVERseen in the show has been prepared to kill leaders who would not listen (Indicating murdering leaders had been done, over and over), except Aang (But again, as shown, even he was prepared to do it for the greater good.)
