Electrocuting a lot of police officers, an innocent announcer, and Tenzin isn't cruel? Threatening people isn't cruel? And what about all the damage he did

He was going to take away Bolin's bending, as well; and he has said unequivocally that he wants to rid the world of bending completely. He's also got a very obvious messiah complex, seeing himself as ushering in a new age of "Equality."

Unless you think Amon is really just pretending to be the person he's shown himself to be thus far, and he's really just a guy who wants everyone to dance across a field of lilies singing songs and holding hands--yeah. . . he's a bad guy.

And check your history books: everyone who has promised a utopia has done so at the cost of freedom, justice, and--well, humanity. When Hiroshi Sato said that Amon wanted to usher in a "perfect world" I got chills. Because people aren't perfect. The only way to "perfect" them is to destroy them.
