masterpug53 12/04/19 6:09:50 PM #24:	Rainbow_Dashing posted... I liked it better when it was theorized that Amon was so strong because of spiritbending. ~~Not because he was a bloodbender~~. That made me very sad, because spirit bending could've been opened up as something everyone could do but just didn't know how to use it. His twist better fit the Stalinist representation of his character / movement, in which a powerful revolutionary plays at solidarity with the non-bending masses but ultimately seeks to be the only one left with any true power. However, I do agree that spiritbending would have been a great addition to the series otherwise. My only thematic issue with LoK as a whole is that they never really give Korra a chance to find identity and self-worth beyond being the Avatar. This concept is brought up briefly at the end of Book 2, but quickly turns around and resolves things the same way TLA did when it ran out of ideas: ~~Giant Spirity Powers.~~ Which leads into my other gripe with the writing: they didn't let Sokka live long enough to be part of LoK :( Apart from the other hundred good reasons I could think of to see old man Sokka in the second series, he would have been an ideal candidate to give Korra some wisdom on how to find self-worth beyond bending. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. <cite>masterpug53 posted [p:931108855] in decided i ...
