    How is it that the Earth Kingdom is losing? Their bigger, earth can withstand fire, and their's more of them. How is it that the Earth Kingdom doesn't have any advanced technology, they have the Mechanist, is he helping? And like Mai and Ty Lee, why doesn't the Earth Kingdom have people like that? I saw in a SOTFN preview, Ty Lee took down at least 30 EK soldiers, and was grinning, unharmed. How could the Fire Nation be so powerful and be winning so easily. I haven't seen the EK beat the Fire Nation without the gang's help. Its unfair that they have so many advantages: technology, power, skilled fighters like Mai and Ty Lee, etc.

    I don't see a problem and if you're lucky you can see me win at Ba Sing Se and the FN is winning cause they have power over others talentthe mechanist is on their side besides the FN has Sozins comet while the EK has the elclipse.

    There is a rather long explanation to why this is so, so I will will shorten it:

    The Fire Nation is AWESOME

    Okay, but I would like an explanation as to how and why the Fire Nation has so many unfair advantages.

    Unfair I don't think so......they have power and our feared the reason there winning is a smart one there taking out the other cities so after they attack Ba-Sing-Se there is no support.

    To quote Iroh:

    "Fire is the element of power. The people of the Fire Nation have desire and will, and the energy and drive to achieve what they want."

    I think that about explains it.

    Nice, now how bout a real reason, like how regardless of their authoritarian economy, the FN is far more united than the EK. Which itself is separated into various tribes, clans, and kingdoms rather than one big kingdom which we're led 2 believe. Some of these groups have even been known 2 go at with each other (the 2 lovers, Zhangs and Gahjins). All the FN has 2 do is take them off 1 by one, precinct after precinct. Which is basically what they've been doning 4 the past 100 years.

    True, but I don't mean just benders, its not always about benders. I mean like those who have special talents, like Mai with her throwing weapons and Ty Lee with her acrobatics, I haven't seen anyone from the Earth Kingdom display unique skills like that.

    Well they should work instead of hiding behind Ba-Sing-Se I mean if you listen to that General in "The Storm" he said Ba-Sing-Se's army is filled with the strongest warriors in the word (Non-bending)

    U mean girls like Suki or guys like Jet? I still believe that (here come the cliche) unless they unite themselves as 1 single country, the EK has no chance of winning this war. Hey united Nation, united Kingdom.

    Oh yeah, the FN is united and the EK is seperated, Kyoshi Island stayed out of the war and other places just hope that the FN will avoid them. What about the North Pole? It didn't seem like they were making any effort.

    Dude u might want 2 stick 2 the title of your thread but as 4 the North Pole, the FN already tried 2 invade them once b4 (85 years ago) and failed. Most likely because they weren't accomstumed 2 fighting in an icy terrain, much??unlike EK villages where they can simply "walk into."

    Yeah but according to speculation the eclipse may come at the Season two finale and they'll push out the FN from the western EK they can't do anything about the Eastern. Remember this is speculation.

    Jet is an awesome fighter. His fight with Aang is one of my favorites.
