Was. I agree it’s a good argument for non-benders having power in the city but he wasn’t replaced by a non-bender, and while there’s nothing inherently wrong with that it is a little odd. We also aren’t explicitly shown any non-bending police, which I think is a shame. I think, and you are welcome to disagree with me; that it would have been a good idea to hold off on giving Korra the ability to restore bending; for Lin to continue operating in the police force without bending, and ideally be shown hiring non-benders and/or working alongside her formerly metal bending officers.
Metal bending is incredibly useful I’m sure, but it would go a long way towards justifying their attitude towards the problem Amon was trying to solve if it was just a useful tool and not a defining part of who Lin was that she fell apart without.
I truly believe Amon/Noatak had good intentions and that he really wanted to make a positive difference. But his anger, much like Anakin Skywalker, got the better of him. I felt he needed someone to reach out to him and help him c through his delusions. That’s why I was so sad that they killed him, I had hoped Korra would have a moment with him, like she did with Kuvira, along with tarrlok so they could truly redeem themselves
I’m not in any way saying ur wrong, cuz you’re not. But to me I like to think of it differently. Like I don’t see Amon as azula or even Ozai, I c him more like Jet or another anti hero, that would turn good in the end, or at least wrk his way towards it. Along with tarrlok’s support and love for his brother. And I believe with all my heart Amon still loves his brother too. Like their brotherhood relationship to me kinda reminds me a little of Raya and namari, if they were sisters.
Considering how the spirits balance things, the next generation might be am entire generation without benders to try and put the balance back into place
I think sokka would fight amon he stood by the avatar think of this if the whole world stoped bending the economy would collapse it would be bad for everyone
Sokka would be like asami in this situation. Even though he's a non bender, he still knows what's right and wrong, he'll stick with his friends for sure.
@@Charlie10W Don't know what you're on about, but yeah, okay. I watched Korra six years ago and The Last Airbender around ten years ago, so I don't understand what you're saying.
'Bending is the cause of all wars, where's the lie in that?' This seems to be true, but if you look at it a bit longer you'll see that it is not. In short, bending isn't the reason people are oppressed, bending is just the means that's used to oppress. In the legend of korra, we got to see the life of Avatar Wan, who lived in a time where people did not have bending abilities. However, there was still inequality. In that case, the people with better weapons oppressed the peasants. Bending is not the cause of conflicts, unevenly distributed power is. And that problem will keep existing if bending doesn't exist. It even exists in the real world, where more money equals more power. And as a second counterargument to this video, Amon wasn't wrong to point out that people were being oppressed. But his solution to the problem was. Benders can stop oppressing non benders without their bending getting taken away. Especially because bending is so important to the whole Avatar world. It has lead to so many breakthroughs, and is a great way to generate power.
@Asef Chowdhury no, not really. Means to oppress are everywhere. Take away one, another takes it's place, and the oppression will go on until the root of the problem is addressed.
it will be less likely to appear I'm sure, but I guess you're right, also, amon didn't even use the energy bendng aang did, he just rendered their bending unusable, rather than actually change their genetics.
I don’t think bending has anything to do with genetics, nonbenders can ghzce children who are benders. For example none of katara or tophs parents were benders and they were two of the most powerful benders in their respective elements.
@@Loaderdani But he was never a villain infact he was 100% right and the later season of Korra only showed that. Also Korra is still the worst avatar Ever.
@@kelvinpyaeko also it's clear that you are not reading the thing you wrote before you post it cause you said he had an unfair advantage and hmmmm doesn't that remind you of some nature bending people?
I like to believe that Amon had a "Seismic Sense" for Bloodbending. Like he can use his Psychic Bloodbending to feel the actions of those around him. Meaning thats how he knew what Tarloq was about to do on the boat. He could feel his motions with the blood bending. Which honestly would be a terrifying and amazing method of Combat Knowledge for water benders with the ability to bloodbend. Like look at Katara. She refused to bloodbend. But what if she got in touch with the power just enough to learn this Sense? That would be an amazing power boost to her already high combat prowess
I don't think sokka would agree with how Amon is taking away people's bending against their will , but I think the overall message about equal rights for non benders he would agree with and still stick with his friend .
If Noatak only wanted power than he wouldve gotten it a long time ago. With Korra being a tool in the spiritual side there was nobody who couldve stopped him to become leader at least in the southern water tribe. Infiltrating other regions, taking their strongest benders out, replacing their leaders with puppet leaders and gaining power and wealth wouldve been very easy for him. Tarrlok himself paralysed a room full with the top benders of each element like it was nothing. An evil Noatak would be like Sozin 2.0 just this time Ruko would be more than useless. No, he really saw that bending is too destructive in the hands of humans and wanted to better the world.
@Books and Tv Geek Kuvira had a HIGH chance of becoming just like Fire Lord Sozin. All she needs is time, before she would want to expand beyond the Earth Empire.
Mabye if Amon waited a few years he'd see the Harmonic Convergence, see new airbenders and figure a way to unlock non-benders bending. There's actually an equivalence in the real world, where people have some genes, such as red hair, that are hidden until unlocked, usually by radiation.
Here's the thing though, Amon hates bending on principle. He doesn't want more of it. He wants it gone. Having more benders would create more of the problems Amon states bending causes. To him, it would essentially be giving everyone a weapon of mass destruction.
I wish I've seen Amon bend a lot more. I wish I've seen more of him in the series. It's a shame they just let him die like that. he's such an interesting character. I hope they would show more of Amon in the expanded Avatar world. would love to see it.
I feel like taking everyones bending ability would make technology weaker. For example no fire Benders no electricity (at least if we look at this from episode where lightning Benders make it) etc. Amon action might be good. But he just choose wrong way to it
Also were missing a peice of info he is being deceitful to the people because he is a bender himself can anyone with power who deceives have absolute trust no no they can not
Um, not really. We can generate electricity today without firebenders. Why can't they learn to do that too? We see by the time of Legend of Korra technology has advanced considerably. To the point that during the Equalist Revolution the tech used by Amon's forces could defeat benders in battle. As science and technology advance in this world, bending becomes more and more obsolete. Why rely solely on bending when you can make machines that can do the work of a hundred benders?
And he totally survived the boat explosion. After making his way to the swamp, learning plant bending and spiritual stuff he becomes a pirate king. Creating the Sixth Nation fleet to aid the other nations against a previously unknown threat...
Those who don't know history are doomed repeat every villian in the avatar franchise will rise again avatar kyoshi killed a general who was doing the same thing kulvira did the ba sing se queen queen use the Dai li eventually another guy would see benders as a problem and choose to take them out agian much more efficiently
The world will never be equal even if everyone lose their bending abilities. Some people will always be superior just like the eualist cos they will the the ones equiped with tools that kinda similar with bending.
I agree. But can also see how after coming soo close, having it all collapse so quickly could be demoralising. Even his closest lieutenant turned on him the moment his bending was revealed, never mind the ‘good’ he had done with it.
@@gamexaura801 like you haven't watched a world history , of course you must take action, but that doesn't mean your actions don't have major consequences.
Honestly, I thought about it recently and it honestly makes a lot of sense. And I wish we had a series in which the non-benders where more focus upon but fanfic are there for a reason. xD Asami is a non-bender...
Asami is the perfect example of a manipulative Non bender when you really think about it. She outed her father, Took all his wealth, Built an army of war machines, held a proxy war, and now controls the avatar.
Yes. But perhaps Amon didn’t know that, or hoped he could figure out a solution for that before it became an issue. Worth noting: Yakones bending was taken away with a different method from what Amon used so we don’t have proof that it doesn’t block future generations, though it seems highly unlikely Amons method would be multi-generational. Also the next generation would have a hard time learning since all the former benders would be out of practice. Doing the motions isn’t necessarily the same as actually bending the element.
but what he was doing was good(besides terrorizing benders, but that was probably the only way to get there attention and to scare them into treating non benders better)
@@deeznuts8659 he is still thanos thanos thought that taking out half of the universes population was good and Amon thought taking out allbenders was good
@@GeneralKenobi75 no thanos had a point too. His homeworld (titan) had literally gone into poverty and famine while he was banished from it by(what they called) an absurd idea until he was the last titan left. I guess it was farfetched for him to believe that every single civilization and people where going to die of overpopulation and lack of resource in the coming years, but he just wanted to teach a lesson to all of the worlds to keep there resources and not to overpopulate just because they choose to.
While I will admit Amon had a point when it comes to making benders and non-benders have equal rights in republic city, is the way to go about doing that REALLY to go around taking people's bending? Chi-blocking people? That's stripping people of their individuality. Wouldn't it be better to solve it via diplomatic means by merely having new laws passed that makes the societal position of benders and nonbenders equal? That way, benders are able to maintain their ability which allows them to keep their individuality, but they're on the same citizen class as nonbenders.
I’m with Controlman. It’s possible, but not certain. And as his suicide showed, he was pretty torn up by the collapse of his carefully laid plans and the failure of all his hard work. The video is mostly focused on Amon prior to his water bending being revealed,
well technically the war would still belong to the world because not every nation will agree to terms so even if Amon succeeded in a 100 years or so a war will begin with bender or None
Amon really did seem like the hero and when he is exposed as a bender it feels weird that all the equalists just gave up but in the real world the communist movement one of its creators Friedrich Engels was a factory owner a boss but the communist movement didn't fall apart when the communists found out they kept fighting as everyone is a bit of a hypocrite sometimes if everytime someone was a hypocrite we quit nothing in this world would change or even get done
Amon might have been a bit hypocrite, but he was never a villain, and his ideologie was never bad. And the equalists were certainly not bad, they just wanted equality
It’s possible. I would even say likely since motion used to take bending away is so reminiscent of the one the lion turtles use to give energy/element bending.
I think you are correct he was obsessed with anger and aggression he could have still be posed as a threat to Humanity even with bending being taken away from the world.
@@szla2491 Amon used a form of blood bending to permanently block a persons chi. That doesn’t necessarily make him a hypocrite though. It’s entirely possible that he resented that fact, and would have removed bending through a technique that didn’t require bending if he knew how.
Remember that Amon could've had Hioshi Sato invent guns, Hioshi devinitely has nothing against killing benders. There were cannons in the fire nation airships in ATLA. But instead he introduces shockers, that only neutralize and make people fall into unconsciousness.
Amon is a very strong bender himself. If he plan to also took away his bending then that will only be the equality. However he doesn't said it so we're not sure
With our lot even realizing it he became his father in his own way an when you think about it would taking everyone’s bending actually solve the problems
Thats a good point, but unfortunately is in the past. Also Sokka is very close to a number of benders, and so it would be easy for Amon to discount him.
I'll leave a rational comment, and, then, a delulu one 😗. Season one was my favorite, due to how beautifully and not rushed they introduced the show and the characters, but also due to the main antagonist's backstory. It did make me feel sad, and I still wish they'd at least make an alternate ending where he'd reconcile with his brother and leave the rest of their lives in peace or using their abilities for a good cause (yes, I know Amon took his bending away). Additionally... He was my favorite character, why did they have to kill him off like that 😭. Fell so hard when I first saw him, kept watching almost exclusively to see more scenes of Noatak! One of the rare occasions I had a crush on cartoon characters...sniff.
But equality isn’t part of democracy and it isn’t ethical either. The most important values are: life and freedom. Why someone must stop the capabilities of any individual? I mean, Elon Musk has 160 IQ, in my country (Mexico) the average IQ is 80-85. Why a vigilante should stop Elon Musk for making business, building techonology, etc?
You're wrong about a couple of things. Amon thought all bending was evil, but he was absolutely wrong on this one. Yes, there were evil benders like Ozai & Azula & yes, the gang members he fought deserved to have their bending away just like Ozai & Yakone deserved to have their bending taken away. You're asking what Amon did was different from what Batman did. It's simple. Batman went through the trouble of protecting actual civilizations even though he might have at points the wrong way. Lin was chief of the police & yeah, she did become a vigilante, tore down Tenzin's house, etc. However, let's be honest. Amon was going to take away her bending anyway, so Lin did the right thing by not telling him Korra's location. Let's not forget he was on the verge of taking away Bolin's bending as well. Once Yakone deserved to have his bending taken away. In response to Korra fighting Amon, it was her job to restore balance even though she may not have been the best at doing her job, but that's another story.
You just made Amon 10 times better with your thorough analysis, awesome job! Amon is far and away my favorite villain in the Avatar Universe, even Azula doesn't come close.
I loved the way Amon beat korra in almost every encounter he spared her and then beat her again took her bending then alomost won a 1v1 as you probably know in pop culture and especially kids shows the hero always win and Amon never lost so
Imagine if Amon would have worked with the red lotus. Zaheer's and Amon's ideologies making each other stronger. Both lacked each others visions. Amon lacked the vision that equality in rights wasn't achievable with political and diplomatic differences sometimes even determined by who you are born as. Like the difference of being born a farmer's child or the child of the fire lord. And of course the avatar not being allowed to exist anymore due to limitless potential. And Zaheer lacked the vision that despite his dream of achieving a natural state, conflicts would still arise and that benders would have a distinct advantage over non benders in such conflicts.
That would make no sense. Amon and Zaheer would be enemies. Zaheer believes in total loss of government and the freedom to do whatever you want, which includes the freedom to bend. Amon believes the opposite. He not only believes in a strong government but a strict one that forbids people from bending. In fact, Zaheer would most likely target Amon since he's trying to become a political leader and Amon would target Zaheer since he's a known bending criminal.
Amon is the reason why I can watch this series. Amon gives me hope, that this series can be "better" if I continue to watch it. Luckily they create something great in S3. I almost stop after my big disappointment with S1, and the bad story in S2.
He was the best and coolest villain from the whole avatar saga. Perhaps if he succeeded he would've revealed that he was a bender and take his own bending away or something like that who knows

I understand Amon point but he's still bad
I still see he killing himself and his brother isn't a good move since they got so much potential.
But what is left to do now. Nothing can be done no other way again except war and killing which Amon doesn't want
I agree. But can also see how after coming soo close, having it all collapse so quickly could be demoralising. Even his closest lieutenant turned on him the moment his bending was revealed, never mind the ‘good’ he had done with it.
If you take away something that's you think is a problem you make a different problem LOL
So doing nothing is best or what?
Anything man does no matter how Good it is is a problem to someone
@@gamexaura801 like you haven't watched a world history , of course you must take action, but that doesn't mean your actions don't have major consequences.
Honestly, I thought about it recently and it honestly makes a lot of sense. And I wish we had a series in which the non-benders where more focus upon but fanfic are there for a reason. xD Asami is a non-bender...
Asami is the perfect example of a manipulative Non bender when you really think about it. She outed her father, Took all his wealth, Built an army of war machines, held a proxy war, and now controls the avatar.
Even if he had succeeded, in the next generations there would still be benders.
Yes. But perhaps Amon didn’t know that, or hoped he could figure out a solution for that before it became an issue.
Worth noting: Yakones bending was taken away with a different method from what Amon used so we don’t have proof that it doesn’t block future generations, though it seems highly unlikely Amons method would be multi-generational. Also the next generation would have a hard time learning since all the former benders would be out of practice. Doing the motions isn’t necessarily the same as actually bending the element.
So Amon is like Thanos thinking that what he’s doing is good
but what he was doing was good(besides terrorizing benders, but that was probably the only way to get there attention and to scare them into treating non benders better)
@@deeznuts8659 he is still thanos thanos thought that taking out half of the universes population was good and Amon thought taking out allbenders was good
@@approductions800 yeah but if they never bought half of the universe back it actuallly would have been
Except unlike Thanos, Amon has a legit point.
@@GeneralKenobi75 no thanos had a point too. His homeworld (titan) had literally gone into poverty and famine while he was banished from it by(what they called) an absurd idea until he was the last titan left. I guess it was farfetched for him to believe that every single civilization and people where going to die of overpopulation and lack of resource in the coming years, but he just wanted to teach a lesson to all of the worlds to keep there resources and not to overpopulate just because they choose to.
Greatest villain of the entire avatar series
Kuivera?
@@umaganga11 no
@@erikalusk89 Why not? Kuivera is a good villain. If that’s who they personally prefer who are you to stop them?
@@Loaderdani good but not the greatest in the series
@@umaganga11 Hell no!!
We could be in the timeline that Amon won
Would be a terrible one
@@Eric-py8yy nah
While I will admit Amon had a point when it comes to making benders and non-benders have equal rights in republic city, is the way to go about doing that REALLY to go around taking people's bending? Chi-blocking people? That's stripping people of their individuality. Wouldn't it be better to solve it via diplomatic means by merely having new laws passed that makes the societal position of benders and nonbenders equal? That way, benders are able to maintain their ability which allows them to keep their individuality, but they're on the same citizen class as nonbenders.
I don’t like TLOK in general but the first season was great and Amon may be my favorite Avatar villain
Amon actually did kill someone, he killed his second hand man
That was never confirmed.
@@controlman7490 No, but it was heavily implied with the "you've served me well, lieutenant" line.
I’m with Controlman. It’s possible, but not certain. And as his suicide showed, he was pretty torn up by the collapse of his carefully laid plans and the failure of all his hard work. The video is mostly focused on Amon prior to his water bending being revealed,
he didn't kill him prob broke some bones in his body or something
so he got his way but died before he could see it as a reality, typical.
Avatar Korra season 1 was the most interesting story in the whole Avatar series. Literally. Amon changed the whole perspective of the series.
Until they did not focus on that any longer after the next seasons
well technically the war would still belong to the world because not every nation will agree to terms so even if Amon succeeded in a 100 years or so a war will begin with bender or None
True, but we wouldn't have to face a repeat of what Fire Lord Ozai tried to do with Sozin's comet.
Amon really did seem like the hero and when he is exposed as a bender it feels weird that all the equalists just gave up but in the real world the communist movement one of its creators Friedrich Engels was a factory owner a boss but the communist movement didn't fall apart when the communists found out they kept fighting as everyone is a bit of a hypocrite sometimes if everytime someone was a hypocrite we quit nothing in this world would change or even get done
Wasn't Sokka on the council when it was formed?
Sokka was there because if his friends
The road to hell is paved with good intentions....
i think amon should be work with police at the republic city. whoever use bending for crime, amon can take their bending away.
He was doing the wrong thing for the right reason it doesn’t excuse his actions however it does explain them.
Amon was a Chad. Aside from messing over our other favorite characters like the Beifong chief.
Ang had 2 other children, Kaia and Boomie
(Sorry if i misspelled)
they dont realise that non benders can have children with bending
why would anyone dislike this video its a master piece
Its a shallow excuse for an analysis on the writting of LoK book 1 and a bunch of lies thats why
The earlist i have ever been good vid cbr keep it up i hav been sub to u for about a year cuz i like the content
Favorite villain of this show
This should be entertaining. I mean they explained that everyone was essentially a hero but just misguided lol.
Listen, I feel like if he was there in Aang's time everyone would be like: oH weLl hE's rUde aNd tRyiNg tO tAke bEndIng aWay
@Shipmaster Let volir yep.
Amon might have been a bit hypocrite, but he was never a villain, and his ideologie was never bad. And the equalists were certainly not bad, they just wanted equality
He crippled people.
If Korra can bring back bending can she make non-benders benders?
Nope. Her power was to restore balance
It’s possible. I would even say likely since motion used to take bending away is so reminiscent of the one the lion turtles use to give energy/element bending.
bruh... there are too many wrong things to point out here
All the LOC Villans had their hearts in the right place
Well, pretty sure he’s not a hero still
.-.
I think you are correct he was obsessed with anger and aggression he could have still be posed as a threat to Humanity even with bending being taken away from the world.
@@InsurgentHarbinger my thoughts exactly
you realize he used bending to take other bending. 🤦🏽♂️😭
Rights
Wait what!?
@@szla2491 Amon used a form of blood bending to permanently block a persons chi. That doesn’t necessarily make him a hypocrite though. It’s entirely possible that he resented that fact, and would have removed bending through a technique that didn’t require bending if he knew how.
problem?
I wonder where Amon learned to take bending away
He probably learned it like Hama learned blood bending
Now they are turning into film theory
Remember that Amon could've had Hioshi Sato invent guns, Hioshi devinitely has nothing against killing benders. There were cannons in the fire nation airships in ATLA. But instead he introduces shockers, that only neutralize and make people fall into unconsciousness.
Amon is a very strong bender himself. If he plan to also took away his bending then that will only be the equality. However he doesn't said it so we're not sure
With our lot even realizing it he became his father in his own way an when you think about it would taking everyone’s bending actually solve the problems
He has stated he never feared death only not finishing what he started.
Never been dis early lmao i wus tryin to see wut videos came out den dis just pops up suddenly
Wow avater last air bender and korra were the best anime to ever live
On 1:48 what about Soka, a non bender who was a concelman when he was still alive. And 311th comment.
Thats a good point, but unfortunately is in the past. Also Sokka is very close to a number of benders, and so it would be easy for Amon to discount him.
Finally a channel with some reasoning and a right logical mind.
Zaheer is the best villain
7:12 Amon ster XD
Imagine season 5 of korra and return of older Amon who somehow survived the explosion and now he will help Korra like zaheer in season 4
I'll leave a rational comment, and, then, a delulu one 😗. Season one was my favorite, due to how beautifully and not rushed they introduced the show and the characters, but also due to the main antagonist's backstory. It did make me feel sad, and I still wish they'd at least make an alternate ending where he'd reconcile with his brother and leave the rest of their lives in peace or using their abilities for a good cause (yes, I know Amon took his bending away). Additionally... He was my favorite character, why did they have to kill him off like that 😭. Fell so hard when I first saw him, kept watching almost exclusively to see more scenes of Noatak! One of the rare occasions I had a crush on cartoon characters...sniff.
Toph mentioned Amon and how he wanted to bring equality. And 312nd comment.
I love avatar
Me too can watch legend korra a million time
Every time you say something important then i scream "no" because my dog bites
But equality isn’t part of democracy and it isn’t ethical either. The most important values are: life and freedom.
Why someone must stop the capabilities of any individual? I mean, Elon Musk has 160 IQ, in my country (Mexico) the average IQ is 80-85. Why a vigilante should stop Elon Musk for making business, building techonology, etc?
You're wrong about a couple of things. Amon thought all bending was evil, but he was absolutely wrong on this one.
Yes, there were evil benders like Ozai & Azula & yes, the gang members he fought deserved to have their bending away just like Ozai & Yakone deserved to have their bending taken away.
You're asking what Amon did was different from what Batman did. It's simple. Batman went through the trouble of protecting actual civilizations even though he might have at points the wrong way.
Lin was chief of the police & yeah, she did become a vigilante, tore down Tenzin's house, etc. However, let's be honest. Amon was going to take away her bending anyway, so Lin did the right thing by not telling him Korra's location.
Let's not forget he was on the verge of taking away Bolin's bending as well. Once Yakone deserved to have his bending taken away. In response to Korra fighting Amon, it was her job to restore balance even though she may not have been the best at doing her job, but that's another story.
You just made Amon 10 times better with your thorough analysis, awesome job! Amon is far and away my favorite villain in the Avatar Universe, even Azula doesn't come close.
I mean, if there wasnt bending, there would be guns
I loved the way Amon beat korra in almost every encounter he spared her and then beat her again took her bending then alomost won a 1v1 as you probably know in pop culture and especially kids shows the hero always win and Amon never lost so
Imagine if Amon would have worked with the red lotus. Zaheer's and Amon's ideologies making each other stronger. Both lacked each others visions. Amon lacked the vision that equality in rights wasn't achievable with political and diplomatic differences sometimes even determined by who you are born as. Like the difference of being born a farmer's child or the child of the fire lord. And of course the avatar not being allowed to exist anymore due to limitless potential. And Zaheer lacked the vision that despite his dream of achieving a natural state, conflicts would still arise and that benders would have a distinct advantage over non benders in such conflicts.
That would make no sense. Amon and Zaheer would be enemies. Zaheer believes in total loss of government and the freedom to do whatever you want, which includes the freedom to bend. Amon believes the opposite. He not only believes in a strong government but a strict one that forbids people from bending. In fact, Zaheer would most likely target Amon since he's trying to become a political leader and Amon would target Zaheer since he's a known bending criminal.
he had the right idea he did it the wrong way
Amon is the reason why I can watch this series. Amon gives me hope, that this series can be "better" if I continue to watch it. Luckily they create something great in S3. I almost stop after my big disappointment with S1, and the bad story in S2.
amon backstory is whyithink he is the hero in
LOK
In a strange way amon reminds of jet he fought the fire Nation lousy leader but he made excellent sacrifices he shouldn't have made he was so young
He is not wrong
Hi
wait, tarlock's dad's bending was took away. So how did he bend Tarlok.......
I don’t think Yakone ever bloodbent either of his children. Perhaps one of the brothers was bending the other on his behalf?
