So, every one believes Asami is Amon? Good. Good for the show, good
for the writers who’ve obviously wanted this, and good to keep the
surprise intact. Except, it’s bad for viewers hoping to be proved right!
Trust me!
Okay, so maybe I’m over analyzing this, but hey! We’re only in Ep 7
of 12. Do you really think the very same writers, who kept viewers
waiting for 40 full episodes and only showed Fire Lord Ozai’s face in Book 3 in the earlier AVATAR: The Last Airbender, are going
to give away Amon so soon!? I mean, Asami premiered in Ep 4! She’s
obviously been planted there to divert everyone’s attention.
Ep 7 ‘The Aftermath’ even has Korra finding a powder-puff, in
the ladies’ powder room at the Sato mansion, with similar white powder
as seen on Amon’s face. She stops and frowns for a second, but it wasn't revealed why. Obvious link to Asami? Good you think so. That
is exactly what the writers want. Very soon, when the real Amon is
revealed, this powder-puff clue would be dismissed as a false alarm.
What more? Amon and Asami are both non-benders, or so they each claim
to be. They both have green eyes, nice observation; though maybe Amon’s
eye colour is still not clear. They’re both highly skilled in personal
defence, and this is evident when they fight. They’re both nearly the
same height, and have approximately the same facial structure. And
besides, Asami and Amon have never been seen (or should I say, shown) on screen together. So now you’re convinced Asami is Amon? Excellent! That is exactly what the writers want!
On the contrary, if Asami is indeed Amon, how could she depend so surely on a "scooter accident" to get her to intersect Mako!? What if Mako had jumped in the last minute? Or maybe taken another street? The reliance on the surety of the accident is silly. Which probably means it was indeed an accident; and that Asami isn't Amon.
So, what’s next? Is Amon going to be revealed as some long lost evil
twin (brother?) of Asami whose both parents were killed by benders, with
Asami being adopted by Sato, while the twin tricked Sato into helping
him while being anonymous, and is using Asami as well to get closer to
the Avatar? Maybe. Viewers are free to make up whatever theories they like!
Or maybe Amon is indeed Asami, and the writers had me plant this post to confuse everyone?! ;)
