Oh internet...you weren't ready for this. I shall do what I can.

"They were mugged by a Firebender" — Mako to Korra on what happened to his parents

"When I was a boy my family and I lived on a small farm. We weren't rich and none of us were benders." — Amon in The Revelation

"'The Firebender' killed my family... and then took my face" — Amon in The Revelation

"Since the beginning of time... the sprits have acted as guardians of our world... and they have spoken to me. They say the avatar has failed humanity...that is why the sprits have chosen me to usher in a new era of balance. They have granted me a power that will make equality a reality. The power to take a persons bending away ...permanently." — Amon in The Revelation

"Only the Avatar has ever possessed that ability " — Tenzin on the ability to take bending away.

"In the era before the Avatar, we bent not the elements, but the energy within ourselves. To bend another's energy, your own spirit must be unbendable, or you will be corrupted and destroyed." — The lion turtle sharing his wisdom with Aang in "Sozin's Comet, Part 2: The Old Masters".

First I have to say...is it me ...or is Korra oblivious to the word finesse

I mean ...here I am "yelling at my screen" ...

(┛◉Д◉)┛彡┻━┻ WHY DID YOU JUST EARTHBEND THE PROTESTERS TABLE! DONT YOU REALIZE YOU ARE ONLY GIVEING CADANCE TO THE PROTEST!!!!11111 (-_-U)

-Then I see the preview for the next episode-

(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻ Y U NO UNDERSTAND!!!!!!

As for the revelation its self...this...This is HUGE. Where do I start...how do I word this... this is more than just the surface.

What a quagmire. This effects everything. The ENTIRE WORLD of Avatar. Please...allow me to explain. If we take things by the words, than amon...is a pawn. A Sprit as conspired against the Avatar (Sprit).

This...IS HUGE.

The very thing that "is to keep balance" has started a forest fire. Just as water runs downhill, the human heart also tends to revert to its basist instincts. (That is a quote from GiTS 2nd Gig by the way)

With that said..I'm going to quote something I saw yesterday In Amon's part of the wiki. The person was ANON so I can't give full credit for the quote but I have invited said Anon. It's the least I could do.

"Amon is a revolutionary fighting against people in higher positions of power. In this case, it's the bending elite and the policital body of Republic city (run by benders, remember?) Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, Ho Chi Minh, Castro, Guevara, and Zedong were revolutionaries fighting against people in higher positions of power. In this case, it was rich businessmen, entrepeneurs, clergy, and any politician who wasn't on their side. Amon's organization, the "Equalists", are fighting on behalf of the lower class and want to bring "equality" by forcefully ridding the world of bending. Notice how the Equalists are willing to use force and terror, similar to how communist revolutionaries used force and terror to coax people to join their cause. One of the pillars of communism is "equality". Communists fought against people whom they perceived as being better off and more wealthy than others. They also went after people who were gifted or skilled in some way, forcing them to join their cause or be painted as an enemy. Notice how benders are the "gifted" people of the Avatar universe. This makes them natural enemies of the Equalists. Many communist revolutionaries were painted as criminals or anarchists, so they were forced to go underground and hide their identities. Notice how the Equalists are all masked and operate secretly. We don't even know what Amon's face looks like, and we don't even know what the Lieutenant's real name is. The secrecy is there for a reason. If the Equalists want to succeed, they need to keep their enemies ignorant of their nature and motives. You noticed how the Equalists fight? They basically fight like ninjas, using stealth, ambush, and guerrilla tactics. This is very similar to the way communist revolutionaries fought. Because communist revolutionaries were usually not as well equipped as their enemies, they had to use guerrilla warfare and took advantage of the element of surprise. If anything, the Equalists are more like communists. The only Nazi-ish characteristic I noticed from them is their strong hatred towards benders. This is an example of prejudice, something that Nazis were notorious for. Even then, it's not like communists weren't prejudiced or discriminatory in themselves. Anyways, I applaud Bryke for making the equalists a non-cliche allegorical Nazi villain. We need to see more communist/socialist/egalitarian/collectivist baddies. " — A anonymous contributor

I too applaud Bryke.

On that note I would like to add that Amon may also garner some traits from Mussolini, and that this will characteristically intensify in how he uses is followers and his power in later episodes. So with that in mind I take back what I said in my last blog post... Amon absolutely calls the kettle black. This is because of the nature of his motives - which at the time was speculation.

As I said in an edit of my last blog post... What we saw Amon do in "The Revelation" did have the effect similar of energy bending...but It was not shown in the same way. At this point we do not know if what we saw is indeed energy bending or something else of the same effect. I have mentioned in the comments of my last blog post that it has been my thought that bending is based off both sprits and chi. I surmised this form the existence Avatar Sprit, of Tui (Yue) and La and Guru Pathik.


 * Let me show you something:

Look at the points. Bending the Heart & Mind. The Glow.

-As I recall... Amons motions were of the back of the neck being grasped (not currently shown)

and the forehead pressed L hand-.

-There was no glow.-

The Revelation.png I got this off someone else.
