Foreshadowing Throughout Avatar

Do you think that all the episodes in Avatar are connected in some way?

    Anyway, remember when Ozai spits fire and bends it out of his hands in the finale to demonstrate how much power he had? He does the exact same move in Avatar Roku: The Winter Solstice Part 2. He even looks the same.

    Example #1 - http://screenshots.avatarspiritmedia.net/108/117.jpg

    Example #2 - http://dvdscreenshots.avatarspiritmedia.net/108/549.jpg

    Also, I was watching Siege of the North Part One with commentary, and someone (I forget who) said that this ( http://screenshots.avatarspiritmedia.net/119/122.jpg ) was supposed to resemble the comet.

    Actually this was my first thought when I saw Ozai demonstrate his power...

    They are even wearing the same clothes!

    Huh, the statue's chin is much larger than Ozai's actual chin...

    Well he is standing at a different angle and I am not just refering to the direction he is facing plus his head is tilted farther back on the statue. And then there is the beard...

    I don't know if this could be foreshadowing but in The Storm when Aang got angry about the thought of being taken away by Monk Giatso, he unleashes a little powerful bit of airbender which causes a bunch of hot cinders to almost hit Katara. I think it would probably forshadow Aang accidently burning her in The Deserter

    how about in early season 2 (i forget which episode) when zuko gets mad at iroh and leaves. maybe that foreshadows zuko betraying iroh in CoD.

    That's the same move Aang does in the beginning of the finale when Zuko asks him to roar.

    which tells us that it is a very common move.

    technically, its not the same move.....but very similar....ozai has his hands closed and aang has his hands open with palms facng out....so....idk...and aang had his arms straight.....ozai has them down.....

    so it's a common move that has variations to it. it shows a firebender's true power. we've confirmed that.
    anything else that foreshadowed anything in avatar? or is the end of yet another speculation thread?

    I just noticed that in the southern raders that Katara is combing her hair with a comb that suspicously looks like Hama's.

    And we all know what happens in the southern raders...

    Where did you get that "Southern Raiders" picture? AvatarSpirit.Net doesn't have pictures for episodes following "The Eclipse".

    Its moreso just two similar things happening. Foreshadowing is more hinting at something then having it happen twice.

    I guess this foreshadows Azula's personality.

    This guy resembles both Gyatso and Aang.

    And his robe looks a lot like Aang's shirt he wears in season 3!
