Mako\'s situation was based around telling. Amon has to literally tell the audience that he\'s impressed, so that the audience would be impressed too? You don\'t need Amon to say it- all feelings toward \'breaking any rules\' aside, it was still pretty heroic and impressive in of itself, but Amon\'s there being all \

Mako\\\'s situation was based around telling. Amon has to literally tell the audience that he\\\'s impressed, so that the audience would be impressed too? You don\\\'t need Amon to say it- all feelings toward \\\'breaking any rules\\\' aside, it was still pretty heroic and impressive in of itself, but Amon\\\'s there being all \\\"See audience? Did you see? Mako\\\'s so cool!\\\"
The first series gave its characters amazing powers and skills, but didn\\\'t shove them down our throats.
But it\\\'s also in this series. Asami\\\'s a kickass driver, and an awesome fighter. No one ever goes out of their way to tell her that. No one ever goes out of their way to tell Korra that she\\\'s an awesome bender, save to comfort her. The wiki itself says that Bolin exhibits a rare skill for earthbending (not touching the ground) with relative ease... and this is never even addressed in the slightest in the series. Everyone else uses their powers and skills naturally, and anytime said skills might be brought up by another character, the dialogue is natural and sensical. It\\\'s not, \\\"Just so the audience knows, even though they just saw it for themselves and have probably already made this conclusion, you\\\'re really impressive. Even I the main villain said so, so it \\\'\\\'has\\\'\\\' to be true.\\\"
The point is that the creators made a deliberate choice to vocally praise Mako in their dialogue. Amon\\\'s dialogue just didn\\\'t make sense, which pinged my suedar (as well as many other people\\\'s). I was suspicious of the writer\\\'s intentions with those lines. And this was immediately after watching that, on the day it aired.
Actually, Amon saying \\\"That was a good shot\\\" Would be a much better alternative. To say, \\\"You\\\'re the first person to ever overpower me.\\\" Seems like it\\\'s reaching. It\\\'s like a self-insert sue goes and, not only beats the bad guy who never before could be beaten, but said bad guy then openly reminds us of this.
So, why give this special mention toward Mako? I can see no other reason than Mako is the creator\\\'s favorite. And no, I actually don\\\'t think he can be called a creator\\\'s pet- yet, hence why I said could be. Because this was already finished by the time book one came out, and people actually started getting butthurt over Mako.
However, there\\\'s evidence of giving special treatment to Mako, which if it\\\'s not already could become shilling, the creator\\\'s very much know of all that hate Mako\\\'s getting, and seem like they\\\'re going to ignore all of it and continue to keep handing things to Mako\\\'s character. So... I\\\'m wondering if he won\\\'t become one by book two.
