The fact that meelo was surprised means that he was about to throw a glass plate at his uncle’s face 😭

I have a theory that Primrose's re@ping was also rigged as part of Snow's long-standing efforts to eliminate the Covey.
Although lacking a critical space, Prim Rose flirts with the Covey's naming convention a bit too closely, and SC made a point of Snow talking about his awareness of the naming convention... I dunno.
Prim's name was in the Re@ping bowl once. Could have been terrible luck, sure. But sure seems rigged to me in hindsight.
The odds are never in their favour...😭💔

During the Pro-Bending qualifiers, Mako destroyed his opponent’s earth discs with a single firebending attack.
How was his fire powerful enough to cause that much destruction? Was it the sheer heat, the concentrated force or something special about his technique?
We don’t talk enough about Mako’s firepower.

The Fire Nation's original objective was world domination, not simply capturing the Avatar. Sozin wanted to expand the Fire Nation's power across the world, and he viewed the Avatar as the only person capable of stopping him.
After Avatar Roku died, Sozin saw an opportunity to begin his expansion. Knowing the next Avatar would be born among the Air Nomads, he used Sozin's Comet to launch a surprise attack and wipe them out, hoping to eliminate the next Avatar before he could become powerful.
However, Aang escaped, and Sozin never found him. The Fire Nation continued the war because eliminating the Avatar was only one part of a much larger ambition. They wanted to conquer the Earth Kingdom, control other territories, expand their resources and establish global dominance.
Over the following generations, successive Fire Lords continued Sozin's campaign. By the time Ozai became Fire Lord, the ambition had evolved into completely destroying the Earth Kingdom's resistance using Sozin's Comet.
The Avatar was the biggest obstacle, but world conquest was always the ultimate goal. Even after the Air Nomad genocide, the Fire Nation had no reason to stop because its ambitions extended far beyond finding and killing the Avatar.

The Red Lotus couldn't simply replace mercury with platinum because the two materials serve completely different purposes. Platinum's resistance to metalbending doesn't make it poisonous, whereas mercury is highly toxic and causes severe damage when introduced into the bloodstream. Their objective was to poison Korra, force her into the Avatar State and kill her while she was vulnerable.
However, your argument raises an interesting tactical question. If they had used a substance that was both highly toxic and impossible to remove through metalbending, Suyin wouldn't have been able to save Korra the way she did. Mercury was effective, but it also gave the metalbenders an opportunity to intervene.
Ultimately, platinum might have prevented Suyin from extracting it, but being impossible to metalbend doesn't automatically make a substance capable of killing Korra. The Red Lotus needed a poison that could destroy her from within, not merely a material that metalbenders couldn't manipulate.
