man i think the amon plotline is just kind of weak in terms of world building
#lok
#i've seen posts discussing this with more nuance
#but it's still so soon after the hundred year war
#republic city is new too. only a generation old. majority of its population are either 1st or 2nd generation immigrants
#or earth kingdom citizens or fire nation colonists who built what became the city during the war
#and the way that bending is distributed among the population of every nation is entire random. it's an odd choice to mark it as a dividing
#a dividing line. because every bender has family that are nonbenders and vice versa
#and! add to that that unless you are trained just being born a bender isn't an intrinsic leverage over a nonbender. untrained benders
#and benders without a lot of power exist. able to do party tricks and not much more
#it likens to. people who's bodies are more naturally built to handle manual labour. it's just genetics and random luck
#of course there could be interesting ways to tackle bender and nonbender dynamics especially with the religious significance of bending
#and in mixed cultures how bending being passed on can be a surrfire way you are truly seen as carrying on that side of your culture
#and it could be interesting seeing the culture shift as republic city is the first place to have such a wide mix of different cultures
#in things like food and festivals
#but a nonbender revolution (especially led by a bender like amon) is odd. like what is the goal of the revolution
#bending and nonbending people can't be seperated in any meaningful way. and there are already laws and rules
#prohibiting destructive bending use just as there are regular destruction
#it's just. the revolution seeks to remove bending from the world. that's obviously a wild thing to say with cultures built around and with
#bending as a part of them. add that to the fact that benders can be born from non-bending families and it just falls apart.
