    in the eppisode "the southern air temple" aang goes into the avatar state.
    the temples in the fire nation and in the earthnation glow
    so does he one in the water nation.
    the waternation people and the temple looked nothing like the people of the northern water tribe or its temple.
    this was the same eppie withe the order of the avatars goofup.

    Yes, but it takes 11 months and $1,000,000 to make ONE epi!

    indeed, if it did the show would now be about 35 years old. unless that was a hyperbole.

    Good catch but it might have been a different part of the Northern tribe which is why it looked different.

    It's true, they make multiple epis at a time which is how we are able to have the schedule we have!

    Thanks Yss.?? Yeah it takes a??LONG time and a lot of money to make episodes.????I think the reason they're taking so long is so the avatar episode schedule can stay??on course.????They??may not be working on the next episode but??maybe after that episode's done with they'll have avatar every week.?? Who knows??at this point.?? All we know is it could be soon.????

    Anyway I was thinking about the impending battle between the Firelord and Aang.?? It occured to??me that they have said the Firelord??started the war right?????It was Ozi that started the war.?? Then??Zuko alone screwed things up.?? If his father became firelord when he was only a young boy then how could he have been firelord for a hundred years!?? If I'm confused then some one straigten the facts please.

    Thanks??

    About the_yssa's reply I know for a fact that they work on different episodes at a time.?? They HAVE to unless you want an episode to come out every ten months.?? They do that to be more efficient.?? If you think about it it's a really good system.?? That's why some of the characters look different in different shots in episodes.?? Each animator has a different way to draw the characters which is how one of the other goofs came about.?? Look closely at the characters next time and you might notice a difference in how the characters are drawn.

    Yeah, okay, you're screwed up! Firelord Sozen started the war 100 years ago! Sometimes Sozen is just refered to as Firelord because it's easier to say Firelord than it is to say Firelord Sozen! Comprende?

    They make more than one episode at once - use two animation companies (that's why some episodes look different).

    In Bato of the Water Tribe, during a fight scene, we see just how limited the animation style is. For a split second you can clearly see Zuko drawn with three legs.

    It's more then that - if you look real close, you'll notice that there are actually two Zukos in the picture, one overlapping the other.

    Oh, and as for goofs, how's this; in the very first episode, Iroh asks Zuko to a nice game of Pai-Sho - however, the card game Iroh is playing clearly isn't Pai-Sho. they make this same mistake in the card game, too.

    well its a transition between the two drawings of zuko that make it look like its moving but you just paused it right in the middle of the transition so it looks like he has tree legs

    oh in king of omashu aangs fingers kinda look deformed in some of the scenes only like one or two but thats all i got

    episode twleve

    there was a big debate on the Ty Lee: Part Air Nomad? thread about her eyes changing color.

    plus, on that "a closer look" commercail that was on nick last weekend, it said that toph ws about 5'1'', but in one scene, where the pro-wressler girls were standing next to her, she was about half their hieght.

    which means, either that was a mess up in art, a mess up on the commercial, or the Earth Kingdom has 10 foot tall people.

    that's all i got.


    Well they where pro-wresslers...so they can be very tall.
    Robert Wadlow was 8 ft 11.1 and he was the tallest man in medical history for whom there is irrefutable evidence.

    I still don't believe Kyoshi Day/Avatar Day were 370 years ago. Give 100 years for Aang's iceberg, 270. His birth, 258. Roku's unbelievably long life, 120. Kyoshi would have lived to 150 then, which I just don't see possible, if Roku lived to 138.
