This it not mine, I found it on Tumblr, but I'm posting it anyway:

I believe that with Amon there is a Spirit World connection…

He is just so unnaturally unbeatable. At this point I really think that he can take people’s bending away. Honestly he isn’t even a villain anymore because the idea of a villain is someone that is in opposition to the protagonist of the show, but just like the protagonist they have their own weaknesses, like Tarrlok. If anything he is the exact opposite of the avatar. Everything about him from his name, to his symbolism, to his ideals is representative of him being more of a supernatural force than a flesh and blood man. My theory is that Amon’s true identity is not of a single individual, but he is instead a physical incarnation of the Spirit World. His purpose is to punish humanity/mankind for their loss of connection with the Spirit World and the spirits. Humanity’s constant advancements and technological innovations have caused them to forget about and forsake the spirits and their contributions to the world. This has caused a misbalance in the world between humanity and the spirits. This loss of connection can be seen through Korra, who lacks the spiritual aspect of being the avatar. Furthermore I think that Amon taking away bending is the Spirit’s form of revenge. They are taking back the greatest gift that they have given humanity: the ability to bend the elements.
