Or he could be the fucking Juggernaut bitch.
Or the Kool-Aid man crashing through walls...
I dunno if it's just me, but I kind of dislike Sokka's older design, just something about it that almost seems a bit off.
I don't like him, I really don't like his hair, it was so much better on season 3, also, that beard... no, no me gusta
Holy shit, Amon is such a badass. It will be interesting to see how he's beaten, seeing as they can't take away his bending like they did to Ozai in the original.
Also, the cyborg idea is interesting. He has to be at least part human, since he reacted to Tarrlok's bloodbending, but it's possible he may have upgraded his body mechanically somehow. Tbh though, I think his claims about getting his powers from the spirit world may actually be true, especially after reading that face-stealer theory from a few pages back.
Can't wait until the finale!

I would have liked some context on the bloodbending, although with so few episodes this may be expected. They better give Amon some explanation when the time comes. I'm also wondering if it was a good idea to show that preview, I mean we still have one episode before the finale.
ZIPPERBENDING
also mako is dumb. that really sudden change a few episodes after givin her a ultimatum on their friendship
and asami is comin off as annoyin
also just how powerful do you have to be to bloodbend a whole room? or bloodbend without the full moon. or withstand bloodbendin from someone that strong.

I'm just going to leave this here.
Aang's son Bumi as Amon?
"From what I've heard from some leaked episodes, Amon is Aang's other son, Bumi, who was not born with bending. To help make him feel better about it, Aang taught him Energy-bending (which can be learned by any normal person). There is also a leaked picture floating around somewhere revealing this.
Apparently Bumi grew to become very jealous of other's bending so he set out to get rid of them.
However, it leaves the hole of Amon's supposed parents dying to a firebender. He could be lying, of course, for propaganda purposes. "

Pertaining to Biggie's picture so a pseudo-spoiler I guess
Picture is supposedly fake but still provides some direction as to who Amon could be obviously. I feel like his cause for wanting to overthrow benders is a bit more moral than just jealousy. Amon and the equalists are obviously fed up with the mistreatment of non-benders by the benders,and I feel like Bumi is particularly against it since he knows it's not what Aang had wanted for the city.

no way, i was thinking this exact thing this morning!!
As an insignificant comment, the voice and the face don't match up for me.
Also he does not look as agile as Amon is.
It doesn't mean the PERSON isn't Amon, but it just means I don't like how they depicted him in the "leak."

I think the Bumi as Amon theory has been around for a while here, I know I've mentioned it a couple of times. Also, that looks like a meh photoshop of King Bumi with air monk arrows in Biggie's post I personally think, not to mention he looks too old for the timeline.
As for Amon, who the hell knows lol, take your pick of theories.
Tarrlok and Yakone's ability to bloodbend without a full moon is just that, a special ability. If it were Naruto, it'd be akin to a kekki genkai, or bloodline limit.

I don't really think Zuko is Amon, but it wouldn't be the first time Zuko wore a mask to try to capture / help out the avatar...getting lots of Blue Spirit-esque vibes!
I think there's a lot more to Amon than meets the eye, and honestly I think he isn't 100% an enemy of Korra's. If Amon really wanted to finish Korra off, he would've taken care of her when she was trapped in the box, instead of worrying about Tarrlok who had already lost his bending at that point.

The big problem with that picture is
Why does Bumi have a tatoo? He is not an airbender. He's not an acolyte. Past material even suggested he looks more like his mother.

Just going to say that the person in that picture doesn't look anything like the Bumi in the family tree picture that has been around for however long.
Also the arrow on the forehead signifies mastering airbending or something correct? I kinda doubt that Bumi would have one.

It's like a picture drawn for dummies. He looks like King Bumi even though he has no reason to, and he has an arrow tatoo thus Aang's son. The makers of the show would have to think very little of us to actually do this.
Also the best gif
My biggest problem with that picture, he doesn't look like that.
Also I remember some close ups of Amon's eyes being yellow/orange, meaning he is from the fire nation.

i dont have a hard time believin you can bloodbend without the full moon; even since TLA ive thought that if you were a powerful-enough waterbender you could just do it.
what is amazin is bloodbendin a complete room with HANDCUFFS and havin the dexterity to free yourself. remember hama's first human bloodbendin? it was very rough movements from the controlled person.
not that it matters, now that hes a non-bender i guess
I don't buy it because the arrow makes no sense and it looks nothing like the concept art of Bumi, also looks too much like the old Bumi.
However it does bring up an interesting point that he knew this isn't how Aang wanted Republic City to be. It could be possible Aang energybent some of his own avatar energy into his son.
But from what we know of Bumi it doesn't look like he was abused by benders very much.

Well here's the whole thing...we still no very little about bloodbending lore. In TLA, we are introduced to Hama, who is from the southern water tribe and self-discovered bloodbending on her own. She "teaches" Katara how to use it, and that's pretty much the end of that, as she would never teach the masses about it and how to perform it.
Consider Tarrlok and Yakone now; well technically who even knows if Tarrlok is from the northern water tribe now, but considering that's pretty much the only one left with benders as of TLA (besides swampy fog, and let's face it, he's not a hillbilly from there), odds are he's from the northern tribe. Bloodbending I personally think can't be a totally new concept no one has ever thought of before; surely there has to have been plenty of water benders out there over the many years theorizing the ability to bend fluids in another's body. Some may have done it. So personally, I'm more one to suspect bloodbending is akin to a forbidden technique in study and usage in the north (as in not ever taught normally). And given the southern and northern tribes rarely have contact, especially up to the war and the whole events of TLA, it's very possible knowledge or even rumor of bloodbending could have faded from southern tribe knowledge given Katara was the last bender in the south, which is why Hama self-discovers bloodbending after a long imprisonment and believes she is the originator (and what we are led to believe since they have not said anything otherwise).
As an aside, this is unlike Toph when she discovers metalbending, as it is firmly established she is the discoverer and originator of the technique and that no other person has done it before.
So I guess my point is, the lore behind bloodbending is anything but absolute, given how little has been shown or we know about northern techniques and styles in general besides a brief stay in season 1 of TLA. Which again goes back to Tarrlok and Yakone, in that they have the exceptional ability to perform it without a full moon; it's an inherited special ability that doesn't necessarily make them exceptional benders, but simply able to perform bloodbending sans a full moon. Don't get me wrong, it's very possible that any exceptional master waterbender can bloodbend without a full moon, but in regards to Tarrlok and Yakone and how easily they perform it to disable multiple opponents it hints their ability as a special inheritable gift, unlike say a full master maybe being able to control a couple of people sans a full moon if even possible.
I thought that "spoiler" was proven to be fake... I remember seeing a different version with some sort of foreign text on the bottom saying something (on tumblr) and then I also recall somebody disproving it (also on tumblr).
Also, Tarrlok is from the northern water tribe:

anyone know if some of the tracks from the soundtrack have been ripped yet? I know they actually released 7 of the tracks officially via the KorraNation blog, but there are so many more that I'm dying to get mp3's of. Even though they never released the ATLA soundtrack, pretty much all of it was ripped anyway and out for download
How did you miss THE KURGAN FROM HIGHLANDER?
Please don't remind me that such a great voice actor was in Jak 2.
