There is something that I have recently thought of and it is sort of bothering me.

Does anyone else think that it is strange that Amon was wearing his mask even in the underground among probably elite members of the Equalists (yes I know that they want to keep Amon's identity a secret but they could have done this in other ways) It makes me think that Amon is such a sociopathic egotistical maniac that he wants to strip all peoples views of any humanity he may have in him he even wants his closest followers the Equalists to not associate him as a man but maybe as a deity? As for the benders well being stripped of humanity the mask automatically makes him a monster (making Korra's nightmare all the more terrifying)

Also I hope that there isn't a big battle scene that just settles everything at the end of the season (or series) because it seems to me that Amon is more of a psychological threat than a physical threat. I believe that Amon's tactics are to scare Korra so much that she loses confidence in herself. When Korra says "I'm not afraid" in one of the trailers it sounded like she is not only trying to convince the people (who are probably losing confidence in her) but also herself. Amon seems to know how to destroy the benders psychologically and physically but mostly psychologically.
