it is possible that Amon has learned an advanced sort of nerve pinching that takes bending away by blocking chi. Like how aang almost lost the Avatar state permently.
I guess we'll find out in a few weeks as we learn more
whatever
girl doesn't need bending with pythons like those
she could just flex at her enemies
could an Earthbender bend Dinosaur bones
could they make a t-rex skeleton fight for them
I bet they could
But he did make a decision. The decision was 'no.'
EDIT: I mean, if you think Aang sticking to his pacifist guns somehow deprived him of personal development, alright. But a pretty strong theme behind being the Avatar was always that it's not enough just to follow the examples of your ancestors, but to do things yourself and be your own person, not just what is expected of you. It's one of the strongest similarities between Aang and Zuko, and it's why Aang's confrontation with Ozai and the final Agni Kai were shown concurrently.
Are there dinosaurs in the Avatar world? Maybe there's just drag...
...ohshit Brontosaurus rex
Bones are skeletons not earth.
why don't they have guns?

but fossils are skeletons that have been replaced with minerals over time. They should easily have more earth in them than metal, and that can be bended.
Then following the appropriate level of foreshadowing, this should horribly backfire or produce a less-than-satisfactory result.
(Example: There is no Spirit Bending. Ozai is imprisoned, but prominent factions of the Fire Nation oppose Zuko's rule, who see him as a traitorous weakling and want his head on a pike and want Ozai reinstated. They remain a persistent military threat. Fire and Earth Nations diplomacy remains sour for generations to come and negative stereotypes of Fire Nation as warmongers persist.)
OFF WITH HIS HEAD
You got me there. Now I'm disappointed Toph didn't ride a dinosaur skeleton into battle. :evil:
@Pony
Seriously, the earth nation missed out on a huge opportunity
they have the skills needed to unearth the fossils and the skills needed to make them fight
I want to see Tophrassic Park, dammit
korra's luggin around a couple of guns
gal is jacked
they do
everybody has a gun, but then they think man what good is a gun against a bender and they don't use them
even in the original series
the swamp people had guns, tucked up under those leaves
I agree with Munkus that energy bending pretty much comes out of nowhere and it very much has the feeling of deus ex machina. If they'd had more time to work with it, perhaps it would have felt different. Same goes with Azula's personality shift. They built it up decently but it's still awfully sudden and doesn't entirely sit right.
As far as your alternative to Ozai being debended, I don't see why that couldn't have happened anyway. He lost his bending, not his mind. It's still entirely possible all that stuff did happen but was unsuccessful. 70 some years is a long time.
oh!! so this is like
what
a deus ex machina right?
p. lame how that just sort of happened

one time two people were fighting and in the heat of the moment one guy finally pulls his gun and everything stops
his opponent just gives him a wtf stare until his face turns red and he reholsters it
then they resume kung-fu
don't you fucking drag me into this horseshit
i already said my piece on this
Eh, it's just the best example I could think of.
I honestly think that Ozai is a less of a political threat without his powers because Firebending is analogous to martial prowess in the Fire Nation and is basically a leadership qualification. I explain my opinion in some earlier post.
Somebody else also pointed out that a lot of his power also may have come from sheer personal intimidation. Agni-Kai is a well established method of violently resolving personal disputes.
It also says a lot about your society when killing dragons with Firebending was a way to win acclaim for yourself.
With fewer legitimate contenders, you get a situation where people are more likely to think that Zuko is the "winning side," similar to how Mei's uncle saw the writing on the wall. If Ozai has his powers, then on-average, that calculus will wind-up more in his favor than in Zuko's. He is a proven leader and his ambitions are likely to be shared by a large portion of the ruling elite. Even a shmuck that's just trying to keep his head down is going to side with Ozai.
ugh
we need the postvatar to come and restore balance
i will summon him
@larlar
Someone mentioned this earlier, but a golden sun style game would be perfect.
except give it chrono trigger's combat system
i would buy that in a heartbeat
Someone clean the statue of Postvatar Tube!
That would be fine, too. And I expect that will be the case.
I'm just saying it would fit if
oh my god
it's.... sokka
but what if amon is koh
I'm not even sure if that makes sense
's twin brother, who also inherited avatar powers and was frozen in an iceberg for 200 years
