    I know the FN started the war, but which Fire Lord started it, and why didn't the next Fire Lord stop it.

    Sozin started the war and no one knows why Azulon didn't stop it perhaps he is continuing his fathers legacy.

    i was watching the waterbending scroll again and noticed something in the scroll itself...while Katara is looking at the whole thing laid out on a tree stump one of the lines of the moves shows a character performing a kick...up till now i had though waterbending was all in the arms...i don't know how ppl get screenshots but if someone could help me out i'd be appreciated...it was just before she tries the water whip the first time and its the second row second character

    Will there be an Avatar marathon before the movie? I can't remember if there was one before the Winter Solstice thing (not sure if it's an official movie but I don't think so) but I know there was a marathon before the Siege of the North Pole. I know I made a topic (or thread I don't know) about this but I'd like more answers about this.

    The second one is obviouly the water whip and the third one looks like a basic push and pull thing like all water bending moves.

    The "Single Water Whip" was the third form. Ah! The fourth one is a push-and-pull move, and the first one looks like what the waterbender demo does in the introduction.

    The more I look at it, the more I think the bender was merely changing his stance. The arm motions alone look as if they could account for the behavior of the stream. I believe the move was demonstrated in the episode The Waterbending Master by Master Pakku et al. at the celebration welcoming the Avatar and the debut of Princess Yue.

    I watched and recorded it, it was nice getting to see on TV ( since I missed it when it first came on). I'm just glad that they are showing reruns of the show, so I see the eps I missed.

    I have a question about the waterbenders' healing abilities.?? In "The Deserter," Jeong Jeong tells Katara that healing is an ability with which some waterbending masters are blessed.?? Then, once they reach the Northern Water Tribe, Katara finds that healing is taught to all the female benders (and only healing, for that matter).?? Is this an inconsistency in the show, or??does Jeong Jeong just not know too much about waterbending?

    perhaps jeongjeong meant that some are blessed with the natural ability for healing while others must be taught

    yes probably . I dont think jeong jeong knows too much about the water tribe. Although he isnt really a bad guy (he stopped fighting ) he is still a firebender and that alone mean no water bender would even be near him !!

    ^It was probably taught to every girl in the Northern Tribe who had Waterbending abilities. They're just a small subset of the population.

    I'm intrigued by the possibility of an encounter between Jeong Jeong and the waterbenders. We now know that Iroh at some point got close enough to study waterbending moves, maybe he was with Jeong Jeong at the time?
