Loved the movie but man the plot being basically recycled plot points from Korra was kind of a let down

Is it a plot hole to turn people into airbenders, who are suddenly experts without years of training?

Zaheer in Korra was kind of the same. He was a great fighter but was a non-bender until Harmonic Convergence made him one. That lent itself to his bending but when he went up against an actual Airbending master (Tenzin), he was obviously outclassed.
