MLai:Here's my take. Amon wasn't (100%) bloodbent because he's a bona-fide energy bender. Idk if his story about his sad childhood, facial scarring, or getting spiritual help is true... but what is true is that he's an energy bender like in the days of old before ppl branched out into elemental bending. He has rediscovered the ancient root martial art that the Lion-Turtle had mentioned to Aang.
Because he has complete mastery over his own body and energy, Tarlok could not bend him. Unless Tarlok's mastery was better than Amon's. Which it obviously wasn't.
This also means Amon's de-bending ability is totally legit. No fake hypnotism going on, he WILL de-bend you unless your personal mastery is more powerful than his mastery over your energy.
That's probably how Korra will escape intact from Amon putting his hand over her head, in that preview clip. She'll go avatar state and blow him away like a dry leaf. OR, she'll get de-bended(!!!) and will have to attain spiritual mastery to retrieve her elemental powers. And the next season will be titled Energy/Spirit.

This, pretty much this. But this is crazy, if it's true, because, as we saw in the last episode, when Korra was having Aang-Flashbacks,
that even Aang was struggling to withstand the blood bending, and he is the avatar, he only got out because he went full Avatar state. That is pretty crazy, and the way Amon acted, it implies that he is even stronger and more disciplined than Aang.
That. Is. Some. Scary. Stuff.
The general concensus is that he's a full on energy bender, there aren't many people who are out there saying he isn't, and that this shit is anything but legit. Which makes me wonder if Korra, if she beats Amon, will be able to restore the powers of those who were de-bended, if she can take them away, surely she can restore them, right? Just a thought.
Also the next season I beleive is called Metal.
