That is interesting because firebenders have the ability to control energy but waterbenders can also indirectly control energy through ice. |
Sokka opens Zuko's cell without using any keys so the doors are probably the kind of doors that open on one side but are locked on the other...that or a blooper. In either case, how CS got his friends out is up for interpretation and ultimately inconsequencial.
And Zuko didn't cut the rock. He blew it up, bit of a difference. If you shot a giant fireball at a thin cable, the flame would just pass through it since it isn't big enough to block the flame's path unlike a rock wall.
I do think the Mai scene was a little far fetched...but it was cool so I'm letting it slide.

but azula can concentrate her fire. she's been able to break holes in rock walls with just one easy blow. she could have definitely cut the cables if she wanted to. she probably didn't because she was shocked and didn't think about it. |

equiso - i meant after she was done fighting with zuko and went on the other gondola

When her fire hits walls, it has nowhere to go but through. No matter how concentrated she made her fire, the blast would just pass over/under the wire because its too thin.
Imagine light from a lamp. If you stick something large in front of it, a shadow forms. Now imagine the light hitting a tiny thread of string. You might think the string would block any light from passing through, thus causing a shadow. However, the string is so thin that the light moves around it and you don't see any shadow at all. That's the same effect a fire blast would have on the cable.
I hope that analogy didn't confuse anyone.

the wire was actually not that thin. it's almost as thick as your wrist. in some animations it's as thick as your forearm, but that's due to inconsistencies in animation. the important variable isn't the thinness of the wire, it's the strength of it. the thickness doesn't matter because the thinner something is, the weaker it gets but there's also less surface area to absorb the energy. so that cancels each other out. what we need to determine is if the strength of the wire is substantially stronger than brick walls
no, if you watch the scene again, you should easily see that it's brick she's breaking
edit: actually the thinner it is, the weaker it gets in comparison because of more surface area to volume ratio

I'm not saying the wire was string thin. It was still thin enough for a fire blast to pass through it.
But in the end, I think we're all over thinking it. Physics takes a back seat to this show. Look at Zuko. The guy must have jumped 20 feet to reach the cable car.

that would be true for other firebenders, but azula can make hers as thin as the wire and yeah, we are over thinking it. but i have nothing better to do
o btw it was much more than 20 feet
