@The_Tuna:disqus It was all over the moment he attacked her, period. She pushed his crazy button when she compared him to Amon, and you don't attack the Avatar with lethal force and expect things to turn out well for you. Everything after that seemed like an increasingly desperate attempt to salvage the situation. The…

Yeah. That question was rhetorical. I suppose I'm more interested in the question, "Is that a good thing, in the context of this series?" We now have two other self-appointed Messiahs, both of them terrifying in the extreme, with powers that most people don't have. So are they anti-Avatars who are wrong because they…

Sifu Kisu said (too lazy to find the post) that he did the reference for Amon and based those movements off of ice skating body mechanics.

@avclub-91546109eaf110327d50b0955865712a:disqus is probably right. But that just makes it clunky exposition instead of clunky fanservice.

He blows hot and cold toward Korra (and Asami in this episode), but the reasons for his behavior are consistent. As someone said before, he also tends to obsess and focus on…

That's an interesting idea, but what I'd rather see is the following:

Yeah. I agree with all of this. The word "brooding" has been used in promo materials, I think, but I believe Bryke specifically described the character as "Zuko without the angst."

There HAS to be more to it than that. Given that the vision also showed  Aang taking someone's bending away without the light show, there has to be information in there that's pertinent to Amon, but no one's figured it out yet. Otherwise it's just a plot hole.

@avclub-55655e3296788419699ec577c7a76f6b:disqus That would make a whole lot of sense to me. No one outside of the Gaang knows that she has the ability, and no one aside from Zuko knows that she used it on anyone besides Hama.
