#amon theory

[ragyragd0ll]

I like to theorize that the reason that Amon appears to be in his 20's when in reality he is at least 200, is because that when the magic tower was experimenting on Blanc because on how he accidentally freezed himself in time when trying to get rid of his own magic.

Then at least Amon and his father must have figured it out how it worked, and utilized it for themselves, which is why both of them had lived so long.

I remember when I thought Tarlock was Amon. That was thrown out the window later on. Then we thought Bumi. Then a stupid person thought Aang?? That was an idiot theory on their part. But Bumi was the last option by then.

I had this terrifyingly sad thought...

If the next book of Korra is called Spirits...

SHE MIGHT SEE AMON AND TARRLOK AGAIN.

WHAT IF THEY APPEAR AS CHILDREN?

WHAT IF THEY'RE PLAYING AND GETTING ALONG?

AND THEY DON'T REMEMBER HER?

[leapbeforeyouthink]

Headcanon time: Amon / Noatuk started the Equalists because he was power hungry. He reveled in how much power blood bending gave him but realized that that could be taken in a heartbeat by the Avatar. That probably terrified him. He was right when he said the most powerful thing out there was the avatar.

Amon started to the Equalists to be that power. Amon wanted to be the Avatar, as closely as he could.

Amon theories?

Ever since I joined Tumblr about three weeks ago I have seen literally dozens of Amon theories floating around. Some are downright crazy while others might have some merit to them. The following is my opinion on each of these theories.

1. Amon is Aang.

Seriously? What person would actually believe Amon is Aang? First off, as many people have pointed out, Aang is dead. Korra is the current Avatar and obviously Aang can't be alive if Korra is also alive. End of story. Plus, it wouldn't be in Aang's character to want to hurt and persecute innocent people and take their bending away. (If that's what Amon is really doing.). Also, as we have seen from promos, Amon's eyes are brown or amber colored, Aang's are a gray to sometimes blueish gray.

2. Amon is Firelord Ozai.

Another theory that is completely impossible. Ozai would have to be in his hundreds if he was even still alive, which I highly doubt. Amon, from what I can gather, has to be somewhere around his 30's if not possibly his early 40's at the most. Plus Amon is too cool-headed to be the hotheaded Ozai, their fighting styles are totally different.

3. Amon is Zuko.

Another theory with absolutely no facts to stand on. Zuko is currently in his eighties, way too old to be Amon. Plus Zuko has no known motive to be Amon. The supposed facial scarring they both share is the only thing that ties them together.

4. Amon is Tarrlok.

Uhhh, didn't we see them in the same room together? When Amon took his bending away? I can't believe people still believe Amon could be Tarrlok. They also both have completely different skin tones and eye colors. Plus, where would Tarrlok have learned to chi-block and "take away" a person's bending?

5. Amon is Bumi, Aang and Katara's non-bending son.

No. While it sounds like a good idea in theory it's simply not plausible. Bumi has a waterbender's dark skin color, completely opposite of Amon much fairer white skin. Plus I'm pretty sure Tenzin would recognize his own brother, mask or no mask. He isn't stupid.

6. Amon is Pema, Jinora, Pabu, or Asami.

No, No and No. If you haven't been listening to his voice, he's clearly a man. And I'm pretty sure they don't have the technology yet for voice changers, so no. Pema is too pregnant and is a woman, Jinora is too small, and is a young girl, Pabu is an animal, and Asami is a woman with green eyes.

7. Amon is Sokka, Sokka's son, Lin and Tenzin's son or Ty lee's son.

Sokka would be too old, his skin is too dark and his eyes are blue. Plus didn't Katara say her brother and friends had "passed on" in the first episode? As far as we know Sokka didn't have any children plus they would have likely been just as dark skinned as him with blue eyes. Amon can't be Lin and Tenzin's son or Lin's son. Amon is much too old to be their son or her son. Amon could be Ty Lee's son but still it's doubtful without knowing if she even had kids.

8. Amon is Yakone.

Another person who would be too old to be Amon, and most likely dead at this point. Also his skin is just a hair too dark and his eyes are kinda a blueish grey.

9. Amon is a half-Avatar born when Aang "died" when Azula struck him with lightning.

This idea has some merit but it seems entirely implausible given how the Avatar cycle works. Aang didn't really die, he was just fatally wounded. While Katara is a good healer I don't think she would have been able to save Aang if he had actually died. From what I grasped Aang was just unconscious from the wound Azula inflicted on him. Kinda like he was in a coma, not dead.

10. Amon is Hiroshi Sato.

Another theory that is impossible. Hiroshi has been in the same room as Amon, even conversing with him, so he can't possibly be him. Hiroshi is also shorter and more barrel-chested than Amon.

11. Amon is the Cabbage Merchant.

While he does have a motive he is most likely deceased at this point or way too old to be Amon. Also his skin is too dark.

12. Amon is a new character.

The only theory that truly makes sense. I know everyone wants Amon to have some sort of insane connection to the old AtLA series but I don't think Konietzko or Dimartino would do that for such a major character. I mean think about, does Mako, Bolin, or Asami have ties to the old series? No they do not. Now does that necessarily mean Amon's story about his life is true? No it doesn't. He could easily be lying, or not. Whether or not we find out isn't the point. The point is that this series is plain awesome and while I love Amon to death I can't wait to see Korra fight and defeat him. :D

That would explain the blood bending immunity...But he'd have to be old.. Aang was 35 when they captured Yukone, And yukone at least had to be 50 or late 40's

yeah he would be old, but old people can be pretty amazing in the avatar universe

are we forgetting this crazy king

[critgemhero]

i was thinking the Yakone thing too, but why would he do that to his own son,

Well Tarrlok did say he WAS his son. So maybe they had disagreements. If Amon really wants to rid the world of bending, then his son is no exception. Its not like he killed him

also, It could explain how Amon knew where Tarrlok was, He did just show up out of nowhere. ALSO I SAW THIS about 30 minutes about ago in a twitter interview with PJ Byrne (bolin VA)

Y.... maybe Yakone

[critgemhero]

I just thought of something, way out there, another Amon theory i thought of, maybe he's Mako's and Bolins father...far fetched, but maybe...

Who knows? Though thats not my theory I'd stick with it. Right now I either think he is Yakone, or a spirit whos crossed over to the physical world, more specifically maybe he's the spirit of equality or something.
