Whether it be an attempt to make us like the character, a way of quickly establishing that someone new is a \'\'badass a level above anything we\'ve seen before\'\' or whatever the case may be, \'\'\'other people will be extremely impressed with this person and let we the viewers know about it\'\'\'.

\\\"You\\\'re the first person to ever get the better of me. I\\\'m impressed. It\\\'ll almost be a shame to take the bending of one so talented... almost.\\\"
Wasn\\\'t Amon\\\'s open praise of Mako suspiciously unnecessary? Mako seemingly breaks the \\\'rules\\\' of lightening bending, both by shooting lightening from simply his fingers without any movement, and with a look of rage on his face, contradicting Iroh\\\'s talk of needing inner calm and peace to successfully separate the energy. Granted, he\\\'s not extremely impressed, but he\\\'s Amon, he\\\'s not exactly a fount of emotion.
That scene, and that dialogue seems like nothing more than an excuse to make Mako look cool, because, hey! Even the big bad is impressed with him! Mako\\\'s so badass guys! Seems like they\\\'re going out of their way to \\\'reward\\\' Mako in the finale, i.e. give him screen time that is dedicated to upping his baddassery. The lightening bending isn\\\'t what tips it in my opinion, but Amon\\\'s praise for him.
This sounds like character shilling to me... thoughts? I don\\\'t hate Mako, so no need to get on my case for that, but the creators kind of know that Mako\\\'s hated- as to why they so rudely dismissed people with legitimate problems with his character as mere \\\'angry fangirls\\\', and why Mako became more the star as the series went on. (rescuing Korra, helping the herione take down the bad guy, doing more damage to said bad guy then the main character until she unlocks her trump card, and then expressing his love for the herione, and \\\'\\\'then\\\'\\\' getting it returned. It seems as if the series tries to make Mako\\\'s accomplishments more impressive than even Korra\\\'s)
Combine that with the fact that a lot of people \\\'\\\'do\\\'\\\' hate Mako... and I can see him being a creator\\\'s pet. I don\\\'t think we should discount it. I understand that creator\\\'s pet carries... implications, and it would be a controversial move, so we don\\\'t have to add it.
