God imagine how fucking good of a character Amon could have been if they didn't pull that "It was blood bending all along!" asspull. He could have been the big bad for all the seasons like Firelord Ozia, except with deeper meanings and morals, and Korra's polar opposite that forces her to mature and expand her perspective and character. It could have been great.

>>93439373
Literally all they had to do was play him straight and not give him a dumbass twist

The chi blockers pop up for no reason in the Platinum game since they decided to use the Platinum game as a intermission between seasons 2 and 3. You know, rather than do something cool since you've got Platinum to have fun with stuff.

He was a race traitor advocating for the rights of subhumans.

Thoughts on the Koh Theory? I thought it was good and considering the second season was spirits it would've been an even better way to end the season.

For those who don't know, the Koh Theory is that Amon was a nonbender given the ability to remove bending from Koh, the face stealing spirit that Aang had to talk to. And the goal was to debend Korra which would remove all bending. Kind of like "no more benders".

>>93443447
my theory was that Amon was a normal guy who learned to bend "not just the elements but the energy within ourselves" just as the lion turtle had taught Aang.

sadly the actual reveal was worse than just about any fan theory floating around the internet at the time.

There were tons of poor benders.
There was evidence of bender extortion.
The government had tons of nonbender representation.
Nonbenders only began being oppressed when an extremely dangerous terrorist organization sprung up in their city.
Benders were a scapegoat for a sizable population of individuals.

If a group of people can become oppressed, they were always oppressed. The ability to lose your rights means you are already a second class citizen.

>>93444216
So by that logic the benders were always oppressed as well.

>>93444216
That's some fucking retarded logic there, anon.

>>93439373
Yep.

Even Korra beating him in the end of S1 could be ok. As long as the only bending she is left with is airbending. Make her concentrate on what it means being an Avatar and actually to learn how to airbend properly.

And Amon will be doing his thing slowly trying to amass power. You can even through a curveball where he starts having some doubts about the way he goes about things.

But the council wasn't anti-non bender. The flashbacks to Yakone's trial show Sokka and some random Air Acolyte on the council, so even if the current council is all benders that is merely a coincidence, not oppression.

Where are the non-benders being oppressed anyway? Three of the richest people in the show are the Satos, Cabbage Guy and Varrick, who are all nonbenders. While on the other hand, Mako and Bolin, two powerful benders, are basically homeless. Their only somewhat legitimate complaint seems to be that some criminals happen to be benders.

>>93446183
the megazord was really out of place. I agree they should gone like air ship or tank or atomic bomb.

>>93446259
Which has all become irrelevant now because of Korrasami. Everything else is somehow a backdrop for that ship, even for the comics. That's why it is possible the worst part of the show, it hijacked what the story had going for it and threw that away to accomodate shipping. Even Makorra didn't do that, even if it distracted at times from the main story.

>>93446287

Here's your (You)

>>93446339
They're trying to make it like that. Like the car racing in book 1, somehow that was a super special moment where they felt closer to each other than anyone else. What i'm saying is that despite all those other things being bad and all, they had less of an impact on how the story is to be understood than Korrasami did, even though Korrasami is nonsensical. And Bryke is doubling down on that perspective going so far as to rewrite events of the show.

>>93446339
well, there is a reason why people complain, its mostly not the act but that It literally came of nowhere, they just ended it in "now they love each other and shit" and fuck you if you even dare question our decision

What i am wondering is where did all the equalists disappear to after he fell?
Obviously he had a case going and there was a whole lot of dissatisfied people believing in what he said.
So what if the man himself was a fraud? His message still held truth.

>>93446561
We're supposed to believe that the cult of personality was so strong that simply having him be revealed as a bender was enough to demoralize the entire movement

>>93446664
If it really was that strong, it would've persisted despite his being abender, so that doesn't work either.

>>93446664
Which rarely actually happens, usually it's the case that when someones indoctrinated worldview is shattered, they proceed to retreat even deeper into it grasping at as many scapegoats as they can on the way down, coming out of it even more radicalized.

>>93446561
>>93446664
Their leader got taken from them, their major financier (and presumably more of their leadership) got arrested, and their complaints were actually addressed.

S1 was designed to be a stand-alone story, hence the ass-pull of an ending, but when Nick decided to renew it for more seasons the writers all of a sudden had to come up entirely new plots for a show that was technically resolved. It was a clusterfuck.

It's funny because the same thing happened with The Last Airbender and look how that turned out.

>>93447327
But ATLA's story was always designed to be more than one season. Even though Book 1 wrapped up on its own, the story is quite clearly meant to continue beyond that. The same isn't true of LOK.

>But i have no faith in Brykes ability to use it properly so if more was to be made i wouldn't want them involved.
I have a feeling that when it's revived they won't be.
It'll probably be in like 5-10 years when people are still talking about Avatar and Nick/whoever want some easy money.

>Unfortunately i can't stand where they're taking it with the comics.
I feel the same.
I don't care about the responsibility-dodging "vacation" into the Spirit World.
If they do another comic that shows what's going in with the severely fucked Earth Kingdom, then they'll have my attention.
If one has Mako doing cool things, I'll read that too.
I just have no interest in the Avatar and her bisexual lover in their swim clothes, though that issue may have already come out.

Actually a western action cartoon with a focus on good looking fights, that have story impacts would be great. And i feel like Avatar does all that very well.

>Even Korra beating him in the end of S1 could be ok.
Actually it could be brilliant, Korra beating him proves his whole point. Someone just born with innate power that also comes with the jurisdiction to do what she wants despite being a complete dumb face.

They could even play into the whole anarchy thing better than the fantastic 4 did as people start to fight back because of a preconceived inequality.

>>93449787
>Someone just born with innate power
As opposed to someone just born with the innate power to remove the other innate power?

And why did no one else ever fight back against Aang, Roku, Kyoshi, Yangchen, and the rest all those other years ago?

how would aang have handled amon?

>>93449940
>born with the innate power to remove the other innate power
He learned to do that tho.

>And why did no one else ever fight back
They actually needed the Avatar then to be a peacekeeper.

>>93450099
They would suck each other off.

It really bothered me that the equalists went with the "priviledged benders" thing when many benders were piss poor and the richest person was a non bender.

They should have focused o the rampant crime, how the law enforcement was virtually all benders, and how the teaching of chi-blocking, the one big equalizer, was actively supressed.

It's been a while so I might be missing details, but what exactly had the equalists done wrong before the police raided them? Defeat and depower criminal gangs that the police had ignored so far? At worst they got into a little fight with the avatar and left her there, then fought back when the Avatar publicly challenged them after which they let her go humbled but mostly unharmed. Bringing these events to the light would have scored them much more sympathy from the people and make Korra's job harder, with no need for them to literally conquer the fucking city.

>>93449940
Isn't that like all activism? It is always people in a position of privilege telling others they are downtrodden by the bad privileged people.

>>93450317
Maybe the equalists were supposed to be wrong? Not every group needs moral justification.

>>93450317
That's how it always goes though. White people are meant to be the most privileged but can easily be some poor bum who get mistreated by the police. Meanwhile campuses are full of rich black kids complaining about how badly treated they are.

While activism usually has some truth at the root of it, those involved are nearly always badly misrepresenting a situation in a way to give themselves more credibility.

>>93450317
>but what exactly had the equalists done wrong before the police raided them?

>The Avatar can't help stop crime
>BUT these chi blocking citizens should get a free pass
If the police of RC didn't want vigilantism from the Avatar then they would have a problem with equalists trying it out too.
Also Korra challenged Amon to a duel, not all the people Amon could fit on a submarine and hide on the island. Korra wanted to fight crime, but Lin and Tenzin told her not to. The people, benders and nonbenders, should be angry at Lin and her police force.

>>93450480
>should be angry at Lin and her police force.
Get out of here Su, no one likes you and you did everything wrong

>>93450391
>>93450457

Of course, but I'm saying they could have put a much better argument to pull people to their side if they weren't dumb about it.

The arguments they used in the show were super weak, which looks pretty bad in a group that we're supposed to take seriously as antagonists, and SPECIALLY when they ignored the few real valid points against benders

>>93450480

That's true as well. The equalists are vigilantes going against the law to allegedly do good, so the conflict is who to root for: the police doing their job and mantaining the status quo or this group of shady outlaws getting some results?

>>93450148
>He learned to do that tho.
So do the benders. They learn to hone their craft.

>then to be a peacekeeper.
Good thing everyone signed an agreement to not do things that would disturb the peace thereby meaning an Avatar, much less a force for peace, isn't needed ever again.

>>93450515
Antagonists don't need good reasoning, in fact usually there is meant to be some inconsistency for the hero to prove wrong. The salt if a Eskimo that everyone calls black girl pointed out how a group was faking oppression for power would be great.

Though I actually doubt the writers thought about it so hard, more likely it is just plain poor writing.

You're right, but then you've gotta convince the audience that somehow these people without at least good rethoric are amassing power and followers at worrying rates. Do people join the equalists because of the cool masks? Or maybe the message here is that people are sheep and nobody is going to attempt to dismantle their weak logic? Is that the social commentary here?

Of course the equalists were wrong, but it's fucking dumb that they grew to be such a threat without an ideology based on some facts for people to start listening to them.

Not all antagonists need good reasoning, but if you want to convince the viewer on why the antagonist has such a large following, you should have good arguments to back it up. TLoK utilized poor justifications and focused on many of the wrong aspects for Amons cause, and even further failed to strengthen the reasons they did highlight within the show.

well bending in general became kind of an asspull, I mean how the fuck did every firebender become a lightning bender and every earth bender a metal bender. And how the hell did Bolin become a magma bender?

They had pre-existing bitterness and a crime problem. Plus embelishing existing issues isn't hard in time with low information access.
Hell that shit happens TODAY.
Unhappy people swayed into a fervor against a scapegoat, feed them some half truths that they can't even fact check and frankly probably wouldn't trust the people able to dispense information.
I'm poor, no one gives a shit about me, it must be the jews, it must be the bourgeois. Those niggers are out of control, the white supremacy is keeping me down. I know it's true, I've seen the truth. I've seen the Jews running the banks. I've seen the pigs eating cake. A nigger mugged me a year ago. The cops beat me down. But there's a better life on the other side of this revolution.

After being a cop(so fucking stupid) he'll be a teacher(heh) somehow, then a local politician, then presedent. All because they don't know what to do with him. It's sad but is one of the more interesting characters left.

>writer that said he was doing something with this never came back
Goddammit.

Amorra a shit.

Do you guys remember when the first four episodes leaked? the shitstorm that ensued? good times!

>>93436723
True.

He was right

Benders have unfair advantages that they use to oppress non benders.

He build his army on himself as a prophet instead of an ideology(they had one, but they cared more about him than the cause)
thus when it was revealed he faked his identity, everything went to shit.
