So who else watched Korra this week?

Amon is related somehow to Koh. Wearing a mask because of a burn? No. He ain't got no face.

 

But you can clearly see that Amon has eyes. And I can't remember clearly, but didn't the face thief leave absolutely no face at all?

 

I think Amon is Aang. Maybe that whole Bloodbender thing got him thinking "That's some dangerous **** better get rid of all benders" or something.

But yeah, I was disappointed too when Amon came in and laid down the law on Turdlok, but now that I think about it, I think it's for the best. Better get going with the story and shiet.

The episode wasn't as intense as I was wishing it to be tho. Just another meh episode, but good.

 

It is impossible because Korra is the reincarnation of Aang.

Unless this series is just going to mind**** all of us

 

Bloodbenders bending when there's no full moon, Amon resisting bloodbending, metalbenders, freaking telephones lol.


But yeah, I know she's the reincarnation and all, but I still think there's something fishy about Amon that makes me think it's Aang.



I wonder what would happen if Korra got her bending taken away. I mean, it's the avatar, right?

 

I've heard this theory, but I have doubts. There's just little to no relation between anything we know about Koh and the events of LoK to bother throwing that into the Season Finale and making it significant.

 

I was actually joking. I kinda dislike baseless speculation, which is what much of fan speculation is. We'll see in two weeks, until then we can only accurately discuss what we know.

But on with baseless speculation. Koh said he'd meet Aang in the future in season 1. Aang has the ability to spirit bend and thus cancel out element bending in an individual, ie remove their bending. Amon has the ability to remove bending and wears a mask. Amon could only have learned spirit bending by either talking to a lion turtle, super meditating or learning from Aang. One may believe that Amon picked up his trick in the spirit world directly from Koh at the expense of his face or he was somehow related to the second meeting of Aang and Koh and by that route picked up spirit bending. You could also use this same logic to support KS's supposition that Amon could also bloodbend because if he knows spirit bending he can theoretically extrapolate all other forms making him a second avatar. Or you could notice his eyes and consider that he might actually just have a burn. But then these creators have had continuity errors before so that really means nothing, too. See how this goes on at length but says nothing? I don't really like that.

 

Not exactly. She's the reincarnation of the Avatar. What if the Avatar Spirit went back to the Spirit World and left Aang's spirit intact? It's already been established that the Avatar Spirit and the spirit of each individual Avatar aren't one in the same. Maybe Aang did something that made him unworthy of being the Avatar and was left with only the ability to energybend? That does contradict my other theory, but it's still plausible.

 

Very true. My personal theory is that Amon will attempt to take away her bending, but it won't work. I think the back story with the firebender is significant somehow. I think it is either a complete lie or it will somehow be connected to the old team Avatar. As in the fire bender being Azula or something. The whole mask thing is so sketchy, I don't think it's Aang though. Something would have had to happen to make him crack like that if it were even remotely possible because I doubt that the Avatar would turn against other benders because of one stupid criminal that abused his bending, yano?

Very smart, I hadn't looked that deeply into it

I kind of find speculation entertaining. I mean there is definitely another plot twist coming our way with Amon.

 

maybe amon is just some guy and you're all reading too much into it.

 

My major problem is how insignificant the whole "bloodbending without a full moon" thing seemed to be.
It's like the ONLY reason they added that was an excuse for Korra to get all spiritual.

Also they're going to have to elaborate on how Tarrlock knows how to bloodbend.
The only explanation I can think of is that it's genetic because if I remember correctly, Tarrlock was 5 years old when his father was imprisoned

The problem with this though is so far he's been revealed to be able to...
- Spirit Bend; A skill previously only known to the Avatar
- Communicated with the spirits
- Resist bloodbending
And if what you say is true with only a few episodes left they're going to have to come up with some SERIOUS bullshit to justify a brand new character being able to do all that.
And I highly doubt they're going to spend ALL of season 2 on Amon's identity as this was originally a miniseries and that would seem like a waste of a season.

 

Tarrlock's bending probably won't be discussed. They have a tendency to go a bit light on explanation anyways and I can't see him ever being important again so I feel like they're just gonna gloss it over and pretend it makes sense like they did with how metal and lightning but worse.

 

Spoiler

well aang died twice. so the theory that aang and amon are connected in a way is plausible, meaning that maybe aang was reincarnated two times each in a separate "form". this is the first time that korra ever made any sort of connection with aang and even so it was in such an indirect way. we have yet to see her go into avatar state. maybe when amon was younger, when he experienced the trauma of the fire-bending accident that caused him to become violent towards the benders, if he is connected to the avatar, just like aang maybe he went into avatar state out of rage or another strong emotion. maybe from that point forward he was able to connect with aang's power of taking away bending. aka amon having the spiritual connection and korra having the physical capabilities.

also, idk about the finale, but maybe when amon will try to take her bending away the two forms will reconnect and she will have some sort of avatar state occurrence and kick everyone's ass, etc. etc. prob from that point on she'll be able to air bend, but like i said idk.

 

I mean, I think it was all a show for the others at his house and that Amon was just a machine with water inside of it to throw us off of Tarlock's trail, I believe in many things possible, thy have Mecha's so why not a moving machine?
