| First of all you people are basing your theories on REAL WORLD STUFF and comparing to a FICTIONAL WORLD full of spirits and monsters and the ability to bend an element. The obvious reason firebenders loose their power during the eclipse is: since what powers a firebender's chi is the sun, when the moon covers up the sun, firebenders loose their ability to make chi interact with fire. Its not the simple fact that they cant see the sun so they cant bend, if that were true then they wouldn't be able to bend at night. It all has to do with the whole spirit and chi and energy stuff in this show, not with a bender's ability to see the source of their energy(moon/sun). Even though a firebender wont see the sun at night they still receive some energy from it becuase its still shining on the earth. During the eclipse absolutely no light/energy is being recieved from the sun, so the firebenders cant bend. All of this should be obvious from the events in "The Seige of the North", Katara was winning the fight against Zuko becuase waterbenders are particularly stronger at night when the moon is shining its energy to the waterbenders. When the sun came up Zuko suddenly got a burst of power becuase the fire benders source of energy was now shining over that area of the world and firebenders are at full strength. Firebenders simply become a little weaker during the night. And obviously the moon is not just a normal moon, but a spirit of sorts. Remember when the physical incarnation of the moon spirit was killed the moon suddenly disapeared. If the sun also has a spirit, killing it would make the sun disapear and render the firebenders powerless. But the next best thing is a temporal stop in the flow of energy which is the eclipse. |
your completely right... were juding these pyranormal things wrong.
