I was on Bumbleking, when someone actually thought about the spirit that gave Amon his ability.

It could be.....

Spoiler

Koh the Face Stealer.

Think about it. He's one of the oldest spirits in the Spirit World and since Amon got his face burned off, he wouldn't be able to show emotion. Now as to how Amon got to the Spirit World and convince Koh to give him this rare power is still up in the air though. But it's been hinted since 'Siege of the North' that Koh will meet the Avatar again, maybe through Korra should she ever go to the Spirit World after this season?

Ehhhhh I'm still going with Amon running into a Lion turtle. That sounds more realistic than him meeting Koh. They would have to explain how Amon got to the spirit world, how he made it there, and if he got his face burned off.....how he was able to hide all emotions from Koh. Dude even if your face is burned, you can still show emotion.

So I see no one has shown any excitement over the previews that showed that we're going to be getting airplanes in the season finale other than me. And I think I saw battleships too, and I wonder if that's the Equalist's ships or Republic City's.

And the whole Korra/Mako/Asami triangle? Yeah, I'm not hating the drama, because by all means we saw this coming and it's not too forced in our face. I'd rather Mako and Asami stay together, because that just seems like selling Asami short. Although here's hoping we see Asami get in action more.

[Mega]

I dunno; I find the ship drama incredibly forced, and it isn't doing Mako's character any favors. Like, why did he have a big freakout over Korra, but not Tenzin or Lin? And then he caresses Korra's cheek as he carries her with Asami close by. I understand being concerned about a friend, but that's a little... And poor Bolin. It feels like in recent episodes, he's only been there for comedic relief.

Would definitely like to see Asami do more than play the role of romantic rival, though. Heck, I'd much rather see Korra call Mako out if he keeps this up because it's a disservice to Asami.

[ChaosSupremeSonîc]

See, that's the thing. I doubt they would write the love triangle without addressing it between the characters.

I doubt Korra's gonna be the one to steal Mako away from Asami or have Mako go with Korra because that would definitely knock both of them down a few points in likability, Asami-haters aside. They've made an asspull in the past, but they've handled everything else with care. And I expect them to know what they're doing with this. I've been wrong on what to expect before, but I would just find it very hard to see Asami getting dumped for Korra. Mako and Asami have had such chemistry that I just think it would be a disservice to throw that away...

Although really, these are teenagers we're talking about. There's obviously going to be some love drama, but as much as teenagers are known for drama, a lot of people don't keep in mind very often that they'll learn to overcome it as people do in real life. You don't become mature without suffering from the immaturity to learn from problems and mistakes.

But seriously…the AIRPLANES people! I know I'm not the only one stoked for that…or am I just the only person here who excited from the preview with the airplanes?

[Snads Squishmitten]

I was actually pretty disappointed when I found out that Amon is supposed to only be the first series villian, because I was really gunning that Korra would lose her bending at the end of the season, considering we've so far in the first show had the books of water, earth, and fire and this season is the book of air.....it seemed like there would be the possibility to have the 5th book be no element at all. Of course even if Amon is not the main villian in the second season or gets defeated......there could still be the possibility that Korra could lose her bending. Then the next season could be her and crew looking for a cure for the un-benders (haha I have no idea how to refer to them)....perhaps even unlocking the ability to teach non-benders to be able to bend.

Whatevs, I'm sure it will end awesomely....as long as they don't make Asami evil because of the whole jealousy thing.

I SWEAR LOK IF YOU GIVE ME CLICHED EVIL ASAMI I WILL NEVER TALK TO YOU AGAIN!

[ChaosSupremeSonîc]

non-benders? Like all the others who can't bend?

perhaps even unlocking the ability to teach non-benders to be able to bend.

Sounds very easy to make an asspull from. Then again, the whole idea being that energybending can take away bending so it isn't a stretch to think that it could give it.

[Snads Squishmitten]

I didn't want to refer to them as non benders as they used to be benders, and I would be pretty dissapointed if it was reveled they would never be able to go back to bending again

of course this is all in b4 bending is a power is given by Midi-chlorian

[ChaosSupremeSonîc]

I didn't want to refer to them as non benders as they used to be benders, and I would be pretty dissapointed if it was reveled they would never be able to go back to bending again

Given that the Equalist are driven to take away bending and make them as normal as they are, I think calling them non-benders would roll off the tongue better even if they were former benders.

But whatever floats your boat...

[Octarine]

Ex-benders? That's pretty straightforward.

[Eternal Xtreme]

CSS, honestly I didn't even notice the ariplanes and such.

[Random Rhyme 3rd Verse]

Ex-benders? That's pretty straightforward.

Nice term.

I also would like to see whats up with the Airplanes.

[Johnny Boy]

I know I've said this before but

Spoiler

Does anybody think Korra will kill Amon? Because she's definitely not a pacifist like Aang. And on top of that the Water tribe doesn't have a "no kill" rule like the Air Nomads did, so I think Amon will be pushing up daisies when Korra goes into the avatar state

Nothing is stopping her from doing it. But will NICK let Korra go that far? I think that is the bigger question.

Well they didn't seem to have a problem with the deaths of Jet, Zhao, or the entire freaking air nation so I'm sure they'll let Korra go that far.

Maybe it's because none of those deaths were graphic.

You have to pay attention to the circumstances surrounding those deaths though. Jet's death was left ambiguous so the censors wouldn't catch it. Zhao wasn't so much killed by Aang as he was by Koizilla in a nonviolent offscreen way. We never see the genocide of the air nomads either.

Pretty much what I was trying to say.

If Amon is to be killed somehow or someway, it has to be non-explicit.

[Azure Yakuzu]

I love how Naga just bitch slaps the Lieutenant, she's like "Bitch Please, you ain't shit".


Ya know, I'm a bit skeptical about having arc villains, because let's face it, it's going to be hard to top Amon as a villain....he's just so.....awesome and it pains me to know that he's only got the first season, let's hope Season 2 has someone decently memorable.
