atla-annotated:The Equalists - Unresolved Social Issues in Republic CityRemoving Amon from the equation does not mean the end of the Equalist movement. Or at least it should not.Amon get’s taken down because the populace still hate benders…Social inequalities do not disappear if you remove the leader, and I’d be really disappointed if this is the last we hear from the Equalists.Not only did we see more desperate need for social reform in this episode i.e. the homeless camp in the sewers, but neither have any of the existing issues been solved. There is a reason thousands of people joined the Equalists in the first place: The council and government are still unbalanced and still favor water, air and earth benders.Also, please do not forget that this was not an outside force invading Republic City, this was Republic City citizens rebelling against an unfair system. This system still exists. Removing the leader solves nothing, in fact would make it worse. If this were the real world, there would be riots in the streets.Defeating Amon solved none of the above.Here’s my prediction for season two: The Lieutenant and Sato are going to pick up where Amon left off, and take over the Equalist movement.More:The Republic City CouncilAlso: MWUAHAH called it weeks ago.Is Amon a bender?
