    I really liked AMON and Zaheer. Two of the best villains of all time. And Kuvera was pretty cool. Unalaq had pretty generic motives, but his composure and manipulation was pretty well executed. I just wish they gave him more than a “I want more power” motive.

      Unaloq was actually a pretty decent character up until the last few episodes of season 2.
      Initially, Unaloq actually just wanted to unite the human and spirit world. But for some reason, his once noble ambitions eventually grew into pure lust for power.
      My theory is that it may have been due to Vaatu's influence or something. It's unfortunate that they screwed up with the writing near the end of season 2. Unaloq could've been a really cool villain.

    Imagine if he wasn’t reduced to being a water bender. He’d actually be terrifying enemy, with a legit point about the society and structure of the avatar world.
    He could even still have the ability to take peoples bending away, just through Spirit bending instead. This would make a great contrast to Korra, who seemed completely out of tune with the spirits

      @MrDarren690 4 роки тому +1

      In that case, how would Korra be able to defeat him? Just energybend him back into a nonbender, as he was before the spirits? That would be far too much of a repeat of Aang vs. Ozai, and critics would lash on TLOK for "resting on their laurels" and being "unoriginal in their plot", or something like that.

    • @MrDarren690
      @MrDarren690 4 роки тому +15

      Furthermore, Amon being a waterbender doesn't render his ability to take other people's bending away weaker or reduced. If anything, it's even more scary. If a waterbender with sufficient training (or diabolical experimentation) can take people's bending away, why shouldn't _all_ waterbenders be able to do that? What if the Water Tribe suddenly decided to invade the other nations? Wouldn't they be highly successful given their populace's newfound ability to outright manipulate people and strip them of their bending if they didn't do as commanded?

    • @MrDarren690
      @MrDarren690 4 роки тому +5

      Taking a deeper stance, part of the reason why TLOK villains are so good is that it demonstrates that anyone can be a villain. (Unalaq is an exception. Book 2 was just weird.) Amon was "just" a waterbender. The Red Lotus were "just" bending masters. Kuvira was "just" a metalbending prodigy. Yet they managed to terrorize the world of Avatar. Having a spiritual villain breaks this theme and reduces the realism of the TV show--because as we've seen time and time again, TLOK is a more realistic show than ATLA, which focused more on lore.

    When I first watched this, I thought Amon was just cool. Now that I'm a bit older, now only is he cool and the best villain but he's also right. Equality is the only way to succeed even if it means punishing the ones who prevent equality.
