~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 I just think Amon is a highly spiritually attuned energybender, but eh. [quote]... Not sure who you're talking about here. You mean Season 1 of TLA? The only Earthbenders I remember are King Bumi, Haru, his dad, and the other people who got taken away, that guy from The Great Divide, those Earthbenders who were gonna murder Iroh in the first part of The Spirit World episode, a few random nubs from Aunt Wu (the Fortuneteller)'s village... I think that's everyone. Maybe Kyoshi if you count that? Other then that, I don't remember a Fire Nation Guy who could Earthbend.[/quote] Season One meaning all of the first series, sorry. I was referencing this guy: http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Fire_Nation_Man But apparently he's not actually of the fire nation so forget it. Not that I think he's an airbender, as I believe he's a firebender who adopted airbender qualities in his bending, but if you're referring to the message from "The Beach": [img]http://i.imgur.com/vmEPj.png[/img] He burns it from the center, like a magnifying glass is coming out of his third eye.

Shradow Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 You're right it might be with his eye, but it's definitely not airbending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catterjune Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 For those that can't tell, Coolio's picture is pointing to their necks. That... red thing with the gold things in the middle. It looks like Bumi has that too. Too lazy to check whether it's just Fire Nation royalty that wears it or anyone from the Fire Nation. If it's just royalty, he may have married Zuko's daughter... or Azula/Azula's daughter. If it's just any random scrub Fire Nation that can wear those colours, he could easily just be a citizen. No big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has retired from being the Fire Lord, but he is still alive. His voice actor is also slated to appear at some point on the show, although in what capacity I don't know. My new theory is Aang's non-bender kid. He resents all the time his father (persumably) spent training with Tenzin and the water-bender one (and who knows, maybe the waterbender was also a huge dick and beat him up with waterbending). It built into a resentment for bending in general, because it wasn't fair that his brothers got to be so close to their father, it was....equal. This ties into the past theories floating around this thread about how his movements are somewhat air-bender-esque and how the back of his hands are hidden. He probably did train in the movements (and got the tattoos) with his father before Tenzin was born. And who's going to be more spiritually in-tune than the Avatar's kid? Also, we know bending is genetic, possible that energybending was genetically passed down to his son? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Hrm. I could accept Bumi being Amon. I'd prefer something much more unexpected/surprising, but I can buy it, since it would work. One thing though, the waterbender in Aang's family is a girl named Kya and she's the oldest sibling.

King of Games Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 The concept art for Bumi makes me think otherwise(lacks burn scars), but that doesnt mean much. I'll stick to my theory that Amon is Tarlok's brother. Only what, 11 and a half days til we find out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Also, to add to this, assuming Amon has some sort of training with chi and spirituality, it would make sense that he would have the will power / mental energy / whatever to overcome Tarrlok's blood bending. In any case, yeah this is the theory that I think is most likely too, suspected that it was him for a little while now. Hopefully the finale sheds some light on this question, but I suspect that most of it will be left up for the next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Welp, I had guessed she would eventually lose her bending and later episodes would explore her loss of ability, but I expected it further back when Amon attacked the world championship. Hopefully by defeating Amon Korra restores everyone's bending or something, or if it can be taken away maybe it can also be given back. Bumi can't be Amon because the skin tone is off. And note that Iroh also has the royalty symbol. It's a possibility that he's the child of Zuko's daughter and Bumi, though it may just be Zuko and that one girl who I'm pretty sure he married.

(I believe that it was him at the end as Iroh.) Ending was sad, though. I didn't like Lin a whole lot before this episode, but now, she's one of my favorite characters of the series.

He doesn't wear gloves. On-topic: The guy who plays Zuko (Dante D-something) should have really tried to make General Iroh not sound exactly like Zuko. Just make his voice deeper by one octave and you probably would have had it. ... I'm really hoping Iroh is Azula's son, just so Zuko can be Iroh's wise old uncle.

In any case, only part of his hands are exposed, and generally a person's palms have lighter color skin than the rest of their hands. So, I think the theory still holds up.

~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 In actual scenes from the show the color difference is more noticeable, there likely would've been more hinting at it in Katara's comments regarding her children, and Bumi's as of yet unexplored connections to Fire Nation royalty all lead me to say no.

I suspect the second season will deal more with who Amon is. And no, my avatar is from Monster. It's Kenzo Tenma. But Monster is done by the same guy who did 20th Century Boys.

Shradow Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 General Iroh's spoken one line and I already think he's awesome, plus Dante Basco playing him is even better. You know, he kind of reminds me of Jeremiah from Code Geass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Wish new Iroh's voice wasn't just Zuko's but I think I'll live. Anyway, the episode made me feel SOOOO many emotions.

Grunt Issun Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 I personally LIKED that the voice was the same. And I think it's amazing that Zuko (Probably) named his son Iroh. That, along with the massive Fire Nation reinforcements made for a great final scene for the episode. And of course, the children fending off the Equalists was pretty awesome as well.

Lonk Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Lin's debending put me on the verge of tears. Maybe it is because of the fact that there is much tensity and symbolism regarding the situation beforehand. When she grappled onto that blimp, we all knew what was going to happen to her. She only did it just to protect Tenzin and his children, the last few airbenders of the world. It should also be noted that, with the entire metalbending police force being captured before Lin (and implied to all have been debended), that made Lin the last Metalbender. If you put it in that retrospect, the scene where Amon takes away her bending is even more emotional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Games Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 I was told there would be no korra this week. i was lied to apparently.
