@Zealkin. I'm thinking that maybe Mako had been giving him that lecture all the way through their childhood and even to the current day still contiunes to lecture Bolin about being too trusting. Bolin dismisses it probably because Mako had to change his outlook and mentality completely when they grew up to look out for his younger brother, therefore dismissed it as paranoia.

I believe that when he gets captured and held by the Equalists, he finally realise 'Oh frak me, Mako was right." and any time we see him afterwards before being dragged up onto the stage for Amon's rally/demonstartion, he'd probably be silent, contemplating and pretty much scared to hell. Would love to see how the event changes him.

Would he be tramatized to a degree by the Equalists, or would he use the memories of that event to harden and motivate himself to become a better bender, possibly aspire to be a metal-bender if he hadn't already dabbled in the art before now?

In my humble opinion, Bolin's capture and subsequent rescue from the Equalists encourages the brothers to seek out masters (possibly even White Lotus Masters, considering their connection with Korra) and learn the sub-skills of their particular art. While Pro-Bending would still be important to them as a source of income, Mako and Bolin would begin to focus their efforts on refining their skills.

That's what I think anyway. Apologises if it's disorganised, I am typing this at 1am in the morning.
