By the way, i forgot to mention it but Amon being a energy bender pretty much confirms he's one of Aangs other sons.

Amon wasn't energy bending obviously.
Didn't Korra just experience a flashback of Aang's adult life? Doesn't that kind of imply that she is the legit Avatar?Originally Posted by Death BOO Z
I wouldn't say he's weaker than Aang in terms of airbending, he's just much more serious and in tune with the Airbending culture, something Aang wasn't able to experience (from what we saw) due to not only being the Avatar, but also being so young. Tenzin is a lot more like Aang's airbending masters 150+ years ago.
As we all found out, the Avatar can learn all the elements, but he/she may not be able to reach the same levels of mastery that regular benders were capable of achieving (most notably Toph). Unless they're in the Avatar state,...but that's something else entirely. Korra will learn airbending, but given her personality, do you ever think she'll be that good? Aang had similar problems with firebending.
Amon isn't anyone we've seen, not even in pictures, because his skin color and eyes do not match any existing adult male character. Also he isn't an energybender.
there seems to be a misconception here that bending Lightening came from studying water benders. it did not. The defensive technique that Iroh used to redirect lightening came from studying water benders, but generating lightening was never said to have come from that source.
The specialties of the different schools of bending come from a extremely fine grained control of that bending school - when taught to Azula lightening was reinforced by rigid and precise forms where even one hair out of place was considered a defect. in Tophs case she had to "see" even deeper into the form of the metal to detect the earth particles therein (possible human bending technique for earth here as well?)
Some great action and funny comic relief made Chapter Five pretty sweet!
Now... we can click as warriors... button to button, it is the basis of all internet.
Only a fool trusts his life to a virus.
not a big fan of romance heavy episode. although Bolin did rock that battle...
As did Korra's turnabout. A rather clever use of waterbending and skill. She diminished the ability of the other two by blocking them with their own teammates which gained her the time she needed to use one of those big flashy bending moves that while extremely effective, usually gets her hit in the middle of it.
I wasn't too keen on them spending the majority of the episode on romance, but Bolin running away in huge gloopy anime tears, then sobbing uncontrollably and overeating to the point where he threw up mid-match was pretty funny.
But they generally accelerated time to get into the finals and whatever is coming out of the pro-bending side of things. The champion team are pretty nasty if they are shattering face-shields. I'm guessing concentrated waterbending made that hole, since anything a firebender or earthbender could do to make that kind of hole is against the rules and would be a foul.
Well that came into play way sooner than i expected
I'm glad we're done with the pro-bending story. a bit sorry that the wolfbats were a cheating team in black uniform (rather than just unsportsmanlike and insanely skilled). Tenzin and Beifong didn't click with me, but I'm glad Korra figured it out as soon as it was clear to the audience (instead of drawing it long).
Next episodes should be amazing
sig made by Itachi-y2k5, thanks, dude!
Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
Damn this show really is better than the last one. The animation is much better as well, I wonder if they have more funding now than before? And its been completely unpredictable so far.
More resources along with better connections and greater technology.
Calling this show better than TLA is a stretch and lauding it for unpredictability even moreso.
Well of course we have to wait until the end to give a final verdict, but at the pace its going I really wouldn't be surprised. And come on, there had to have been some good moments when you were surprised.
Y and Ryll and I have been pretty accurately predicting what would happen in IRC for weeks now, though right now Y and I are kinda disagreeing on what's coming next ;P.
Well lets hear your theories.
Not my theory but I found it interesting:
Bloodbending:
You can use it to control another persons actions.
So, with bloodbending, you can make a person unable to move and even cause physical harm on themselves.
With bloodbending, you control that person. You can dictate what they can't and cannot do.
With bloodbending, it should be possible to block the flow of blood to the necessary areas that are the focal point for bending. With bloodbending, it should be possible to prevent another person from bending.
Because of this, Tarrlok is now Amon.
That's really dumb as hell.
This. .
I certainly dont buy that Tarlokk is Amon at all, but its interesting to think that Amon is using some form of the original 4 element bending techniques to physically block someone's chi paths rather than energy bending it out of them.
