the nutshell

I'm a 27 year old writer living on the East Coast of the USA. My favorite thing to do is to watch too much tv and then overanalyze the shit out of it. Sometimes I put my thoughts here, as well as my original writing and other odds & ends.

Awesomely cool watching along/analysis of the first two Korra eps. I thought it was really interesting how they connected the evolution of bender privilege with the status of benders in the first series.

I gotta ask, though - am I the only one convinced Amon has an agenda that's separate from the Equalist agenda? /sits alone and lonely in her conspiracy theory corner

You are so, so not alone in that Amon theory.

THANK GOODNESS! I've read a lot of people who are kind of concerned since Amon & the Equalists are the villains and ostensibly a social justice movement, but I'm like "there's NO WAY Amon is just a radical Equalist." The angry Equalist in the Square and Amon's masked henchmen just can't be in the same league.

I think that Amon will turn out to be manipulating what is at root a serious and needed movement.

I also have a feeling that after a rocky start, Korra herself will begin to see some of the value in the true heart of the equalist (as opposed to anti-bending) movement.

Yessss. I think one of the characters that hasn't been introduced yet is supposed to be an Equalist/Equalist-sympathetic, without being anti-bending, but that could be me mixing up fanon with spoilers. I do hope we get someone who points out that benders hold a disproportionate amount of political power.

Oh, I am totally with you. There's no way he's doing something so simple.

I so want him to not even be anti-bender. "Benders? I don't have anything against benders. That was just an easy way to RALLY THE MASSES BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH"

Isn't it fabulous? I love how it's grown to be about more than just The Last Airbender monstrosity.
