hmm if mako's alleged lightning is like the lieutenant (if he used a sneak attack), amon wouldn't be able to react to it fast enough as you say. surprise in the sense you describe is paramount to already getting hit. you've just set a scenario where amon would never let go of korra but get shocked by mako.

this really only leaves the case of mako not being a surprise. now i really can't imagine amon would very stupidly stop bending one target for the other. if he knows they're both there, he'd stop both of them.

regardless, i'm beginning to think both of our theories are wrong. now that you mention it, mako's attack did surprise him. mako was able to barely move his two fingers, but he hit him while being bloodbended. could korra's kick have been just like that? kind of strange for that to have worked, since a kick is way harder than moving two fingers, but that's still a possibility
