Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yes, but if people have the power over others they will use it. I think Korra should fouces more one taking out the bending gangs more then the Equiests.

I disagree. I think the Triple Threat Triad are a bunch of shenaniganizing hoodlums, but the equalists are legit, trained, powerful people. Notice how Mako and Korra got taken down by two equalists, yet Korra easily beat three TTT members. Also note how Amon very, very easily kicked Lightning Bolt Zolt's a**. Just sayin.

Amon knew how to dodge.

Having a connection to Zuko is stupid, that makes no sense to me... I do not see Ozai, WHO IS VERY MUCH DEAD, having anything to do with this crap, and Azula is probably locked up in a nuthouse, where no one can get to her and vice versa.

Zuko is a good man, obviously, yeah he was once hunting down Aang, but then he realized his mistake that honor and pride are not bought, they are earned.

The only connection Amon has right now, is a fire bender who killed his parents... and I would wager that a lot Fire Benders for maybe 50 years could have still thought they could get away with what ever crap they wanted... Just because Zuko becomes Fire Lord, doesn't mean all Fire Benders would be like "Yes, okay, the war is finished. No mor being dicks unless our Fire Lord tells us too." No, a lot of them would have probably been like Zhao, crazy power hungry nutjobs with no self control. I would wager that Amon is just another victim, though the speech did sound rehearsed, but that could just be because he has said it many times, and now actually has little meaning to him... he just wants to get rid of the benders, and that is now his only thought.

I bet when Amon first started his campaign, he was an emotional wreck. But he became strong, elite, powerful over the years.

One year after Zuko was Fire Lord, a Fire Colony kid tried to Assassinate him for trying to destroy their home. But that got sorted out anyways, the colonies could stay, and Republic City was made.

Honestly, I bet there is Firebenders who are "racist" towards other benders still. Kids who grew up told to not to socialize with "those people"... Kinda like with the red-necks, or the "skin-heads"... yah know? And then non-benders were probably teased a lot more too, after the war, because they were most likely see as useless.

If Amon does have anything to do with Ozai... which might be one little thing, like, I dunno... the information on taking away Bending... well, that is all I can think of. But I do not see Amon's campaign starting in Fire Nation, I believe he could have been a normal kid... why do important characters have to have important backgrounds to be important? I never get that... it's a stupid thing.

I think we will know who Amon is... when we find out who killed his parents, or heck... who is Parents are... until then, I believe HIS story. I do not see him being a bender either... except somehow an Energybender (Oh and remember people, Energybending came before Elemental Bending... So I believe it's a ability that can still be learned, if you know of it... Even KNOWING OF IT... should be enough to then have the drive to figure out how it is done... or research it... or what ever... yah know?

Amon is an interesting case to crack...

I agree that the equalists have a point. But at the moment it seems the equalists are only going after the people that should be targeted, the leaders of gangs that abuse their power over others. I'm more concerned about how Amon plans to rid the entire city of benders. I think most benders would probably leave without risking Amon, however, once all the bending gangs are gone, how are you going to be able to pick out benders specifically?

And it seems like once Amon takes out all the gang leaders and followers, the only real threat would be the equalists who want to target everyone equally. I'd say take them out first.

I see no reason for Korra and company to focus on the gangs. At the moment, the gangs aren't posing as big a threat as they used to. The real threat is the very well organised, very well funded, very serious and almost deadly Equalist movement. There are always going to be gangs regardless... It'll be a time waster running after all those "petty" criminals.
