Talk:Asami Sato/@comment-76.167.204.201-20120520144514

Guys, if the whole Hiroshi Sato thing was staged, what would be the benefit? They could have just captured Korra, Mako, Bolin, Beifong and an army of metalbenders if Asami had agreed to fight them. What would be the benefit?

Things I've heard as to why that can be proven false:

1) The Equalists will strike Air Temple Island, and they need Asami there to spy.

-What for? They were already about to have Tenzin kidnapped, so the only point would be attacking a pregnant non-bender and three children. That's sinking too low, even for Equalists.

2) They're saving Korra for last, so they had to let her go.

-Yes, but Amon could still take away her bending last, even with her alive. And what better gambling pieces would there be if you had the Avatar, the Chief of Police, and a council man???

3) They need Asami to gain the Krew's trust.

-Why? THEY COULD HAVE KIDNAPPED HER! Why would they need her trust then?

More Proofs on my Side

1) Hiroshi made the walls of platinum for a reason. Even Hiroshi Sato is not so rich that he could afford to make platinum walls just to throw Korra off for a while.

2) How would they know that Mako and Bolin would be left up top, and could sneak in alive at the end to pick up bodies? Or how would they know that Asami would be watching the whole fiasco unveil. Unless Lin Beifong is secretly an Equalist, then you have no reasoning fo that.

3) If Asami was a spy, what would it help the plot with? So let's say she betrays them and goes back to her dad. What does it accomplish in the greater good of storytelling? Hiroshi's betrayal unlocked character development for Asami. And Zuko's betrayal unlocked character development for himself. What would Asami being a spy aid the plotline with? NOTHING! Except for allowing to Makorra happen, which could happen through a break up anyways.

Seriously guys, even when all evidence is pointing agains you, you continue to argue. Why???
