Talk:Amon/@comment-60.224.57.204-20120617124727

For people who say that Aangs energy bending is different from Amons energy bending because they're missing some glow action, and that amon used advance chi blocking, get ready to read like u've never read before.

If you observe Aang when he is taking away Yakones bending there is no glowing whatsoever, the only difference is where the two stand and where they place their hands on the target, for Aang he places his hand on the persons forhead and chest, and is infront of the individual when performing the technique (much like how the lion turtle gave him his energy bending power), for Amon he positions his hands on the forhead similar to Aang but instead has his other hand on the persons neck while standing behind the person.

Which may be a hint that Amon had gained his bending from another source, the spirit world perhaps or another ancient animal who is intelligant. I also think that the bending is permanent for dramatic purposes, republic city isnt really being equalized if the effect isnt going to last right? And finaly i highly doubt that the bending is being taken away by 'advanced chi-blocking' as most of you say, because he hasnt really taught any of his followers the technique, if it was knowledge why not share it to your comrades instead of trying to 'cleanse' the benders 1 at a time?

Therefore the only logical solution is that Amon is energy bending, no tricks, no chakra bending shinanigans.

Timmy:But why does it have to be energy bending?

Anonymous: Silly Timmy, for one its the most viable option so far, also remember how the lion turtle gave Aang his energy bending abilities, by touching Aangs forhead and chest, which in turn is how Aang takes powers away from people. That kinda explains that energy bending is not something you can taught, its a power that can only be given to you.

Timmy: Yeh, but Amons positioning is all wrong, and does that mean Aang can give the power to energy bend to other people?

Anonymous: Gee i guess i didnt think that far ahead, i guess Aang could give the power to others, which means Amon is related to him somehow, and maybe his position is different because he cant directly face the people when he energy bends them, you know out of ethical issues, nonetheless i think you should shut up now Timmy.

What do you think people of avatar wiki, audience, whatever.
