>>85786939>He removes everyone else's bending abilityThe City have thousands of people living there, and probably 40% of them are benders, its too much to hunt down and debender in a short amount of time. It is also easy to hide that you are a bender.
>Suddenly he's the only bender in the city, and a really powerful one that can bloodbendIF he is able to contain the entire population of the City with his followers. Would all the people just let him dominate it without resistence? How big were his following compared to everybody else?
>I think he could have held the city indefinitelyThe first attempt to retake the City by the other nations, consisted into three warships that were quickly destroyed by the surprise attack of planes.
The thing is, that was the FIRST attempt and Bumi was already coming with support. It isn't even a FRACTION of the army of the Fire and Earth nation, that are very close. Amon don't have enough soldiers to hold 1/8 of the fire nation navy sent to coquer the norte pole, much less hold himself against a prolongued conflict with the nearby nations.
Its like Cuba, if Cuba didn't had allies or nuclear weapons.
Soom he would be take down, because he has nothing to negotiate on the long term, and nothing to fight back. His followers thought that he was chosen by the spirits to change the world, but in truth he is just a bender against three nations. The best that he could end up doing, is running away or dying as a mártir.
