...which is exactly what they don't tell us in the first book of Korra.


Which brings me back to what we've both said: if Amon takes away bending in a manner like this, then shouldn't any healer be able to undo it? Certainly Katara could defeat a blod clot, she was practicing resurrecting animals in the first series. If she can bring the dead to life, then there's no reason she couldn't break up a blood clot. Yet Katara couldn't do jack to restore benidng taken by Amon.

Ending the first series without even attempting to explain Amon's power was ridiculous, as was Amon as a character. A villain who was "evil for evil's sake"; unlike his second-in-command/chief supporter, he didn't have any respectable or logical motivation. He had a kick-ass power, sure, but in the end he was just a punk with some sort of (again, unexplained) god-complex. That, of course, was a total let-down IMO.

Speaking of Amon's power, I found it interesting that in the flashback to his father they It's also sketchy that no one else knew about his power, and few believed it could exist (namely Sokka), when it seems obvious that there are other people with that power, in even greater versions. Amon didn't learn his bending removal from his father, so unless another lion turtle decided to be a jerk and gave him the power (or he figured it out himself) the only explanation seems to be that Amon learned his bending removal from someone else. Could that mysterious mentor really not be known to the bending world? I know that [spoiler]water-benders[/spoilers] have always had their head buried in the sand, pretending that their "dark arts" don't exist, but still...

I guess a lack of logical explanations runs in the family as they


IMO it was good, but it could have been so much better.
