Just wondering, but why is Team Avatar celebrating? They lost...

Yes, Amon is gone, yes the new United Republic Fleet has arrived, but what has that done? The Equalists are still fully functioning, and probably even more battle hardened now that they found out their savior was a bender.

Even if the military could retake the city (which is still full of airships, mechatanks, chi blockers, and angry mobs) how could they keep the peace. Assuming the bender/non-bender ratio has kept since ATLA, the bending population is 25% of Republic city. While not every non-bender in the city is Rwualist affiliated, they all should push for Equal Rights.

No more bending council, no more bending exclusive military. The proles have woken up, and unless the writers just make them forget everything, Republic City should be seeing more Equalist activity for years to come. They defeated a man, not an idea.
