    Sure, Mai's weapons can pin people and distract them, but since Avatar airs on Nick, we'll never see her weapons hurt her opponents by striking them. So, what's the point of her weapons? Mai is of course important, she's the depressed girl with the crush on Zuko. But Mai will never really hurt anyone with her weapons, so she's kind of pointless in the fighting department.

    He he...I was just thinking about how Azula gets her butt kicked in the end and gets covered in mud and how Ty lee gets covered in mud and Mai just openes the door and says we lost as if without a care.He he...Oh and I think she will be important in some way.She hasnt even seen Zuko yet.

    That's like saying Sokka is useless in a fight because his boomerang could never strike someone.

    But Sokka's boomerang can't cause people to bleed. And his boomerang has hit people, its hit Zuko, an Earth Kingdom soldier, and much more. Mai's sharp weapons are usless since Nick won't allow blood to be seen. The most her weapons can do is pin people or distract them.

    I know Sokka's boomerang has hit people.

    I'm just saying that Mai isn't useless in a fight. She was able to take down Katara, which isn't an easy thing to do.

    She's not gonna pull a Naruto n??pincushion someone with a hundred needles or anything, but??Mai's gonna get some more action once they meet up with Zuko again, there's that whole scene in "Zuko Alone", so we'll see some expansion on that

    As far as Sokka's boomerang goes, I think Nick is being inconsistant. Sometimes we see him sharpening it, like it should cut someone, but when it hits them, it does no damage (Zuko doesn't count, he was wearing a helmet).??I think Mai is a cool fighter, regardless of whether or not she'll ever really hit someone. i don't think any characters are useless...except for that hippie in pink in CoTL *shudder*

    Crap u got me. Ah well while I'm here- I've actually hoped the opposite ever since she appeared on the show. In that I kinda hope that she actually does do some of the things we see on Naruto. In regards to the??shuriken and kunai??tricks anyway. As ostentatious as??they may be??at times, most of them are truly amazing and I'm curious to see what??they'd look like on the show.??So long as they stay as creative as possible. I mean comon you know she's been coming off as a kunoichi (female ninja) since day one.??
