    I think Toph should have fallen and Zuko should have been killed by Azula's lightning blast.

    But it was fine that they survived too.

    yeah well thats because your not a 9 year old girl that is in love with Zuko. There are more children that watch this show then "tweens" or teenagers. I am 17 and about to be in college and even I think its stupid to KILL people on a show thats on NICKELODEON!!! Talking about " TOPH, SOKKA, SUKI, AND ZUKO SHOULD HAVE DIED" Thats like half the main characters!!! Are you people sick in the head?!?! Its a NICKELODEON SHOW..pretty soon people are going to start saying "spongebob should sacrifice his life to save patrick and squidward!!!" As much as I want spongebob dead, that sounds completely retarded. If the show was on cartoon network, or adult swim then this would be possible, but this is Nicklodeon...come on people. My little brother watches this show and he started CRYING when Sokka broke his leg..then he started freaking out when he almost dropped Toph. My brother is 9 and im pretty sure there are other kids out there like him!!!! All this death and dispair on a nicklodeon..it doesn't even sound right! I can only think of 2 people that have died on the show. Zhao and Jet. They were't even that iomportant and it was't even clear whether or not they died. Heck im still debating whether smeller bee was taking out his bow to protect Jet or end his suffering. Death is never clear on shows like this, and it rarely happens anyway. It's not dragonball z or yu yu hackasho or w/e other anime is out there!!!!!!!!!!!

    I agree, but you may want to take a breath and calm down.

    From a narrative perspective, killing characters to just add drama is pretty much the worse reason ever to have them killed. Artificial drama like that is poison for any good story, doubly so when you do it at the end so you don't really have to deal with the emotional consequences. If Toph was to die, you have to think about what that'd really mean.What would the death mean in terms of her personal story, the character development and history she'd accumulated on her journey? What would it mean in terms of other characters' stories, particularly Sokka, who'd be the one who failed to save her?

    I'll admit it opens up a lot of opportunities, but there's no way they'd be able to explore them all to justice in the, what, 20 minutes the series had left?

    i disagree, i think adding drama is the best reason to have characters killed. i think toph should have died, she is of no further use. unlike zuko and aang.

    whoa.....no way.....toph is part of the Aang Gang (The GaAng).....if the creators were to split up the gaang, that would raise h3ll....people would freak out and be pissed off.....if someone were to die, it should've been suki (even though she's so sweet and kind), Mai, or one of the white lotus members....NOT IROH!!!!!

    because of all the fandom behind toph, most people will probably say the same thing. but really, she taught aang earthbending, and she destroyed the airships. there is no need for her to live any longer. sokka painted that picture in the end, to preserve the memories they spent together, so i don't think the gaang is going to be together any longer, besides aang and katara. yes sokka would be scarred because he failed to save her but he'd get over it. the death of one of the members of the gaang would be a much stronger representation of the horrors of the war.

    Actually it could be possible for her to teach other peopole metal bending. It hasnt been disproven that other people can do metal bending so there is still a possibility. It would be pretty stupid if she discovered a whole new bending ability and died before she even had the chance to atleast try to teach someone how to do it. and plus the girl is 13 years old...geez everyone wants to kill somebody...saying "it will show the horrors of war" thats a bunch of bs. If anyone was going to die it would have been someone that wasnt as important and as liked as toph is..someone like suki or ty lee..they didnt add much to the show and if they died the little kids wouldnt have heart attacks. Toph had a HUGE influence on the show...being the fact that she taught aang earthbending..but i guess thats not important.

    you're totally right.....some people think it adds more drama to the show to kill a main character, but it desnt always work like that....peole will be depressed, not create more drama, if drama=fighting (verbally not physically)....i dont even know if that made sense or not, but when i think about it, it does make sense

    Also, I read this in another forum. Did no one notice that when Ozai was about to attack Aang from behind, Aang used the same earthbending technique that Toph uses!!! She sees through the earth, which is exactly what he did, therefore he would also be able to sense the refined earth in metal!!! It IS possible for Aang and other earthbenders to learn metalbending. I think someone like Boomi who is supposed to be one of the most powerful earthbenders would be able to do it as well.

    it's weird how toph didnt teach aang metal bending....maybe she's being selfish and wants to have the technique all to herself...well....someone else will eventually find out how....

    this is my opinion

    but if anyone feels the need to "have someone die to make the insert media name here better" I feel sorry for them. Is basically saying that nothing without death is emotional enough. second of all, the scene with her almost ready to fall down than suddenly suki coming was emotional and epic enough, a roller coaster of emotions. I think Bryke did a real good job of making it seem like she was to die, and I am SAYING THIS EVEN THOUGH I READ THE BOOK and I knew she would not die.

    About metalbending by Aang, maybe Toph didn't feel he was ready yet. She said he was not really ready at the start of 318. Now that Aang is enlightened and can reach the energies, not just the elements, he probably can bend any type of element, including metal, diamonds and other Jewels, and anything else you can think of
