Talk:Amon/@comment-76.24.189.176-20120226211208

I know everyone should be entitled to their own opinions, theories, creativity, and all, but I'm making an exception with Amon theories because practically everyone's theories on him are ridiculous. More importantly, they (the ones making these ridiculous theories) are seemingly all trying to connect him to other characters in ways that aren't realistic. That's why they tend to be so ridiculous (I'm putting that nicely). The worst part is the same people wouldn't be guessing these silly connections (with nothing pointing to them) if he didn't have a mask on. Amon is a charismatic and mysterious leader of a radical idealist terrorist organization. I hate to be the troll of reality, but we know nothing else about him. Get it? So say it with me:

We don't know what he himself actually believes and/or stands for, only the kind of organization he runs.

We currently know of ZERO hints/evidence/etc. even pointing to a connection between Amon and other characters on even the smallest level.

Therefore, he is his own unique character and no one else. There is NOTHING even slightly suggesting otherwise.

And therefore, Amon is not a clone of or related to any characters from the original show, nor is he a clone of or related to the few characters we currently know of so far from this show LOK. So predicting any if that goes against everything we know. AMON IS AMON. HE IS HIS OWN UNIQUE CHARACTER AND NOTHING MORE. So please don't draw connections from Amon to things you know, because he is clearly something we don't know. And please stop trying to guess who he is. I guarantee you'll be wrong every time because he'll most likely turn out to be someone we won't even find out about until the show starts.

Ok, now that we got that straightened out I want to be clear that I don't hate all of the theories on Amon. Some are actually pretty good. I just hate the ones irrational ones that try to paint him as something he is not, which is anything other than the completely UNKNOWN mysterious and charismatic leader of a radical idealist (anti-bending ideals) terrorist organization. Of course, anyone who tries to figure out who he is before the show even starts is in that category of painting him as something he's not, because until then there is nothing that can point Amon to being anything other his own unique character, just as Korra is her own unique character and so on.
