A thread died for this.
Levi White
I just got mad when they blew all his potential and killed him off within one season. Never heard about non-benders struggle ever again, just vanished. What a waste of a good story
Luke Gutierrez
He should have been the villain for the entire series.
Joshua Parker
Wrong , everyone hated that he was a unnecessary twist that had no interest in the movement he started and voided all possibility of him being a good villain with a purpose instead of the mentally damaged idiot that he was.
Ian Turner
the first season was created to be a standalone story because they thought they would get cancelled
Cameron Sanders
Post 1 other example
Charles Anderson
I remember That dumbass Amon is Aang theory.
Aaron Gonzalez
Carter Garcia
Killing your antagonist's mystique and potential with a 10 minute flashback exposition dump is some terrible fucking writing.
Tyler Hernandez
His fake backstory should've been real.
James Morris
Carson Butler
They never show this guys identity though. Not the same.
Parker Hill
Everyone hated that he was a bender and all of his motivation was for some retarded family drama
William Torres
It not being Robin was basically the same result of angry fans getting cock teased over a mystery and getting a bad payoff or anti-climactic reveal.
Colton Scott
Explain. I never watched this all the way through.
Gabriel Fisher
The mother was some random nobody and 9 years of buildup resulted in the biggest limp dick reveal in tv history. The show died shortly after the reveal.
Jaxon King
Bullshit, past characters are way more common. Take Avatar for example, the first masked character in the series is just Zuko with swords.
Jeremiah Rogers
I know, and that's why it pisses me off. Even if you don't think you're gonna get other seasons, don't pull some stupid shit like that, cause if you do you now have this fucked up mess of a story to stitch back together.
Nathaniel Lee
>Zuko with swords
yeah but that adds to Zuko's character and gives him depth. I didn't mind it.
Zachary Russell
That one worked though. At that point Zuko was an antagonist and the Blue Spirit seemed to be on Aang's side. It helped flesh his character out even more
Isaac Barnes
I was fine with his reveal; I just hated how they ruined him with a backstory that left more questions than answered
Eli Morris
I got mad when it was shown that he was a bender and the non-bender vs bender conflict died immediately after his revealing
Jack Myers
I wasn't bashing that character, dorks. Merely a true observation. "Who's behind the mask?" is akin to "Who dun it?". Just as the killer is very uncommonly an unknown party, masked men are usually a previously introduced character.
This shit sucks. The attempt at class politics in Korra book 1 is a joke.
Easton Nguyen
Who thought that?
Literally no character in ATLA fits Amon's personality or his motivations or would even make fucking snese at all?
Jaxson Lopez
>entire conflict is about the oppression of non-benders
>we never see that oppression until after Amon starts his offensive
Cameron Sullivan
True, in the case of Amon he's the face of a movement. It didn't matter who he was under the mask. What mattered was his ideals
Thomas Ward
Personally, that didn’t kill the show for me. What did kill it was that fucking ending.
Cooper Sullivan
And ideas are bulletproof!
>*dies alongside his entire movement*
Tyler Foster
wtf the Bumi theory sounds way better
