Nickelodeon (ended 2014)
The first few times, this was explained in a character's backstory it was okay. But now it's gotten tiring, especially 70+ years after the war, I thought the Fire Nation were no longer the bad guys.
Come on now, can't there be someone who had somebody close murdered by some other type of bender? Hopefully all these orphan stories will be building up to something poignant.
This has been discussed in other topics too, most of us think there has to be some kind of significance to all of their parents being killed by firebenders. Maybe its an important theme that will be revealed in later episodes. I dont think they're trying to keep painting firebenders as the bad guys though. Has to be more than that
Maybe it was all the same person or gang (the Agni Kai Triad) on the other hand Amon is probably lying and was playing onto the fire nation war thing to gain support (an interesting theory I read).

So benders aren't human? Racist! and you call yourself Amon, Amon would be ashamed. A more correct way to map it out would be
Benders = Villains
Non Benders = Good
Benders who had their bending taken away = Recovering Bad guys who are now good.
I wonder if we will see a bender who had their parents killed by non benders.....who are from the fire nation..... :S
We know that Amon did not lose his family to a firebender. His real name is Noatok. He is a waterbender from the Northern Water Tribe. He is the son of Yakone. His brother is Tarrlok. His real motive behind the Equalist movement was not equality but vengeance.
Even if Amon's story is fake, its still pretty coincidental that Mako and Asami's parents were killed by firebenders. Plus you have to wonder why Amon though to use that story himself. Maybe parents being killed by firebenders is pretty common?

| Fire Nation did start war that lasted 100 years, all but wipped out the Air Nomads, destroyed much of the Water Tribes, and attempted to kill everyone in the Earth Kingdom, so it is easy to demonize them. I have no knowledgeon the comics, so I could be very wrong about this, but just because Zuko became Firelord doe not mean tere were not more than a few soldiers who rebelled and tried to keep the war going or take more land. Fire benders could still very much be victims of Sozin's war, even after 70 years since it ended. |

Yeah, they could get a bit more creative when parents and other family members get killed.
