I can think of few other cartoon antagonists that frighten me as much as Amon. One of which is Orochimaru from Naruto (fun fact: they share a voice actor). I was wondering why Amon is so terrifying last night. I came up with an answer.
He’s so removed. Mako shoots lightning at him, and what does he do? He dodges thoughtlessly (seriously, though. It was like Mako was a seven year old kid throwing a wadded up piece of paper instead of a lightning bolt of death). Korra, Kung Fu Action She-Jesus, confronts him and what does he do? He boldly tells her that he’s saving her for last. The list of things he does goes on and on, but everything he does he doesn’t show any emotion or hesitation. That’s what makes him scary.
He wouldn’t think twice about killing you, m’dear. No regrets or guilt involved. Don’t let him get inside your head, or he will destroy you from the inside out.
That last bit was me trying to sound scary. Did it work?
