Its possible the Lion Turtle Island could have taught Amon. Its moe stupid that either if he just learned it himself.

Three possibilities:

1. Amon is he who said he is: the child of a simple farmer family.   However, that explanation seems unlikely and anti-climatic.


2.  Amon is Aang and Katara's middle child, Bumi, who supposedly did not inherit a bending ability from either parent.   He developed an inferiority complex and hatred towards benders and bending because he felt that he was treated unfarily, that everyone in his family was a bender but he did not receive the bending gift.  However, Aang and Katara taught him as best as they could. Later in his life, he discovered that he had inherited a less obvious bending from his father: energy bending.  That would explain his motive, his martial prowess, and how he acquired energy bending.

3. Amon is someone who is somehow related to Korra's flashbacks as Aang.  Korra's flashbacks occured mostly when she had encounters with Amon.  It seemed like Aang's spirit was trying to tell Korra something about Amon.  I know the flashbacks seemed to have run their course and already served a purpose: they explained Tarlok's father was Yukone.  However, Tarlok's role seems to be fairly trivial compared to the significance of Korra's flashbacks. I think the flashbacks may have another deeper message.  I don't think Amon is Yukone because Yukone would already be in his 80s or 90s, too old to be Amon.

Got a question, if Korra got her bending abilities removed, would the Avatar spirit die and there would be no more Avatars after her or will she be classed as 'dead' and the next Avatar will be born as soon as she has her's removed?

I'd say neither of those things. Numero uno, the whole no-more-Avatars deal was for dying while in the "Avatar State," according to Roku. And that's apparently not 100%, given that Korra is Avatar now. (Of course, Aang lived after his death, so that must not qualify.)

Amon definitely has been using energy bending, not some advanced form of chi-blocking.

I know some people have been pointing out how Amon has been using energy bending differentlly from how Aang used it on Fire Lord Ozai in Avatar: The Last Airbender, i.e., how Amon's energy bending did not produce  flashing lights or how he placed his hands/fingers at the wrong places . However, when Aang used energy bending on Yokune in Korra's flashback in episode 9, Aang did it exactly the same way as how Amon has been doing it.  Aang and Amon were using the same energy bending alright.

At this point, it's obvious that Amon's ability to permanantly  remove a  bender's power  is very real and very dangerous.  If it later turns out that his ability is just a big gimmick or haox, that would be too anti-climatic.  That would just trivialize Amon and the main threat/obstacle Korra faces.

Haha, Lin's babysitting.

Well, that episode didn't settle much of anything, except Mako and Asami have poor conflict resolution skills.

[Seagloom]

Mako is a really crummy boyfriend. Doesn't pay for anything, freeloads in his girlfriend's house, then gets all grabby with one of her friends right in front of her. By modern standards Korra and Asami both should be kicking him in the head.

I will totally understand if she decides to electrocute him and drag his sorry ass to Amon.

...but yes, she did act immature in this episode. I'm giving her a pass givem Mako's behavior is worse and has been ongoing.

Would fit in with book two being titled "Spirit", if nothing else. That is the best energy bending Amon theory I have heard so far.

[Seagloom]

It was a tongue-in-cheek statement. ;p I highly doubt Asami will go that far. I can, however, see her defect to rejoin her father unless he leaves the Equalists first. If she did attack Mako, it would probably be as an initiation test to earn the Equalists' trust after turning away from them before.

All that aside, she should dump Mako though. He obviously can't make up his mind.

From what I've seen for far too many that IS the modern standard.

I'm not sure why but I'm a bit "ehh" about General Iroh having the same voice as Zuko.

She leaves her family to join benders despite the fact that a bender killed her mother. She shows unrelenting loyalty to the team and their cause. And what does Mako do? Pretty much craps all over that and hits on a chick right in front of her any chance he gets. Honestly? I hope he doesn't get either of them. That's what happens when you're a douche.

You apparently don't know much about people, and even less about teenage girls. They both respond to neglect, the latter even moreso.

I don't get what your trying to say.

I'm with the jellyfish. Asami left her father and is fighting agaisnt him, that takes balls. Because Sato isn't evil i presume, and just believes in the equalist cause.

Asami has given up her wealth, her popularity, her childhood life and relationship with family just because of her loyalty to Mako, which is something to be cherished and not to abuse.

And he then screws her over for the Avatar.

What I'm saying is people tend to cling more to people or the idea of them when that person is neglected. When someone gets neglected by somoeone when they're involved with each other they tend to want to  be even closer to that person, in spite of what that person did to them. People respond to rejection, that's what I'm saying.

Let's not forget, he and his brother are also gang members. Or at least the gangs still think so.

[Seagloom]

@android - That's very true. To a point anyway. I think after awhile some people decide to lash out in retaliation. That's usually when things like affairs start to kick in.

---

How old is Asami anyways? Is her age recorded anywhere? She seems to be the oldest of the current generation characters. I gotta say though, this has been a pretty crappily written love triangle. I mean, I don't think you're supposed to hate whoever is caught in the middle. As it stands, I find Mako the least likeable character in the show currently.

That's right, I care more about *Amon* than Mako.

And that Wolfbat with the big hair, apparently.

Tahno? I felt a little sorry for him in "The Aftermath". Not that it absolves him of all guilt, but it was hard not to feel bad for him.

I should note my dislike of Mako does not range into outright hate territory. Rereading my prior post, I used the word hate to describe a hypothetical and it comes across as if I were applying it to him. My feelings towards Mako are deeply into "meh" territory though. As in, I couldn't care one way or another what happens to him at this point. The only recurring characters I rate lower than him are the council members (excluding Tenzin, naturally) and Amon's lieutenant. The guy voiced by Lance Henriksen. He seems to be a real jerkface.

Amon rates lower than all the heroic characters, but I kinda care what happens to him still. I don't think his cause is entirely unjust even if his methods certainly are. So I'm not going to be thrilled if Korra wins by straight up killing him. He clearly isn't sludge like Pony Tails Man was.

Man whatever Asami, you're wasting stew.

[Seagloom]

Don't hate on her for finding garbage stew distasteful. I'd probably do the same. At least until I was so desperate it was eat that or die. She clearly hasn't reached that point yet.

...Bolin needs more screen time dammit.

@andriod You're right, to a point. In my experience people do tend to cling on to people, even more so if they are jerks. It hurts that the person they love doesn't love them as much. So they try anything to try to make it work, not realizing that the person is always going to be the same way. Most of the time they start to realize how useless it is after a while and a.) start cheating on them to make them feel bad, b.) make the relationship as toxic as possible, or c.) just leave the moron. The funniest thing is seeing the moron respond in shock when the neglected person finally gets rid of them. They never see it coming.

Very few people immediately jump to "C." They usually do the first two a few times over then one person decides to separate. People are stupid like that. Then again it's a cartoon, and in the sake of pacing it wouldn't make sense to do the "natural" thing with these characters. I think Mako will probably come clean or an event will take place that will force Asami out of the picture. I doubt she'll be the one to ditch him when there's an opportunity for her to hold on to him.
