"Honestly, don't you think it would be boring and abrubt if Amon was just a random new dude?"

- No. How is it boring if Amon is new? Does that make every new character boring? No it doesn't. That reasoning makes no sense. New characters aren't boring just because they are new. No one said the Fire Lord was boring just because he was new, and we didn't see his face until later on.

"That would be awfully boring, even if it was a good individual series, because previous ATLA fans would be disappointed."

- No again. There are plenty of other connections to ATLA, so why do people think Amon have to be one of them? If everything was like ATLA then LOK would be a clone of the old show. Since LOK isn't ATLA's clone, then not everything should be like/related to ATLA. It would be really boring if Amon was a character (or related to one) from the old show.

Besides, 70+ years has gone by since ATLA ended. Would you really want Amon to be an old man?

"Similarly to this, I think it would be very stupid if Amon, one of the most popular LOK characters yet, was just a random dude."

- He isn't just a random dude. He's Amon. You know, a new character in LOK. Just because we don't know who he is now doesn't mean he is random. Why is it so hard for people to accept Amon to be his own character? There was never any difficulty with Mako or Bolin. Maybe people just discriminate against him because he wears a mask.

If this obsession people have about every character being or being related to ATLA characters is about not being able to let go of the old show, you all can watch that instead. As for me, I'm going to be watching LOK and not an ATLA clone.
