    This isn't exactly a question...but there wasn't exactly a place for this. I noticed something between Iroh and Katara. ((I'm not supporting this pairing. That's just SICK))

    At the begginging of Ep. 18 I remember Sokka and Aang were kind of arguing, and Katara goes 'we're all just a bit tired' something something like that. She also mentioned flying for two days straight.

    In the storm, Iroh says that too, when Zuko and the Liutennent(sp..) argue. They've been at sea for two years. Two's an interesting number here.

    good point I never noticed that, they kind of have similar personalities if you think about and they both have to put up with grumpy people... hey kudos to you

    He fell quicker than the speed of light?

    Probably a goof. Happens in animation quite often.

    Yeah. I can't tell you how many times I've gone crazy over my TV because of an animation goof. But that's what you get for sending animation duties overseas instead of doing it at home, having the writers/producers oversee the animation efforts.

    We need more animation studios here in the US. I know Jimmy Neutron is done by DNA Productions (which is in Texas I think) and Klasky-Csupo has produced many major Nicktoons and their somewhere in the US but other than that I think all Nick shows use Rough Draft in Korea (DP, FOP, SB, The X's, maybe Catscratch). We need to have more animation studios here in the US, and Nick needs to stop shipping their work overseas. I really dont like outsourcing...

    Is there a connection between Zuko being the Blue spirit when he frees Ang, and his sister being named Azula(azul is spanish for blue)?

    I don't know, but I'm glad to know I'n not the only person who thought about that. Of course, the characters aren't exactly Spanish...

    Another question: In Winter Solstice Part II, Avatar Roku bends magma. Would that qulify as earthbending, or firebending? (Of course he can do both anyway-- he was the Avatar.)

    I would say that magma is earthbending. Just as water benders can bend water/ice/etc. magma is just a super heated version of earth.

    Thought wasn't magma once lava which is a denser form of fire? (I think). Anyone else have a answer to my question Here's interesting thought. We know the arrows on Aang's body glow (as well as his eyes) when his past 'lives' are active or he's in the spirt world [and we seem his body in the physical world}. But what about the other sybols? What what 'light' up besides the eyes for Fire, earth, water? They don't exactly have anything to tell that they are an water, earth or fire bender. I'll [re]watch the southern air temple.. Though the next post: I think that it may only be there eyes, unless they had a tattoo of significance, I looked at the pic at firebender.com and I didn't see anything glow but the eyes well have to see I guess Does seem to answer that a bit.

    I would say it was earth bending too because yu have never seen any firebender using magma except for Avatar Roku.

    If it was earth then why didn't the earthbenders in "The Fortune Teller" bend the magma instead of making a hole.

    Because there was too much magma and not enough benders maybe??? Don't really know....maybe it's a thing that only the avatar can do....since it would be a combination of earth and fire and only the avatar can bend more than one element...unless you count the Mary-Sues.....-shudder- they give me nightmares....but that's for a different topic...

    Mary-Sues are the annoyingly perfect OC's that cause the canon characters to act OOC to a very annoying level....and in Avatar usually can bend all four elements plus like 40,000 to the 750th power different other things that aren't meant to be bended....if not...the author will make up a ridiculous kind of bending that should exsist....ever....plain and simple......even better here is the definition according to AvatarSues.....

    A Mary Sue is a fan inserted character (usually female) baddly written into a fandom via a really bad fanfic. A Mary Sue is usually the picture perfect person that the Author most likely would like to become. Mary Sues usually get all the guys they want, no matter how, no matter if the character is "taken" or not. Mary Sues usually are AMAZING people, have AMAZING traits, save the world, become the "last Airbender", or snag Zuko through the most stupid ways possible.

    pretty good description.....hope it answers your question....^^

    I was reading a topic at GameFaqs Cartoon & Animation Board and one post had: Which begs the question how did the original avatar do it? Or was he taught by 4 masters or the combination of the souls of 4 previous masters..

    That's something I'd like to know.


    • How did the first firebenders learn to bend fire?
    • How did the first Earth benders learn to bend the Earth?
    • Same for Air?


    We know how water-bending got started. One thing I would like to know is what element was the oringal Avatar to learn (like did he have to learn water, air, fire or Earth, first?). [though we don't know how long the avatar as been reincarnated so . . .].

    Airbenders learned from their flying bison. This is not a well-known fact.

    Many speculate that the Fire Nation learned how to Bend from dragons. Dragons create their own fire, same with Firebenders. We also know that the dragons are revered in the Fire Nation, remember the animal that guarded Roku???s temple?

    The Earth Kingdom has yet to reveal itself. Who knows, maybe Earthbenders tried to copy earthquakes!

    thank you! ^^ it does.
