    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*

    Hmm would you really use Nick there or did you not want to use "the creators" and "inconsistent" in the same sentence? Seriously though, we can't blame Nick for every little bad thing in the show, no matter how much they screwed up on the hype and titles of the last "four episodes." Nick's the??holdin them back at certain points, the writers and directors are the ones doing the in-show trivia...goofs....inaccuracy thingies. They are only human.

    Mayhap it is sharp on the inner half (like a scythe) and blunt on the outside portion of the blade... but I really wasn't watching hard enough to see how these people got hit by the boomerang.

    Mai is like a boomerang... it has almost no point, and dosn't look that cool, and should die. Wait, no, that's just Mai, not the bommerand.

    As a character, Mai is useful. She's the dark depressed one who is always complaing about her boredom and is so far the only girl who has a confirmed crush on Zuko (who needs some actual romance in his aangsty life). But with her weapons, she's kinda useless. Since Avatar shows on Nick, the creators can't show her sharp weapons striking an opponents flesh and causing them to bleed. All Mai's weaposn can really do is pin people to stuff or ditract them.

    Hello everyone, I have said this in the Relationship discussion a little bit, but Mai isnt useless, I just happen to not like her. She is kinda a one-note girl, boredom. Not right for Zuko, go Zuko/mute girl refugee. I think Mai could show more, she is pretty powerful, smart with daggers, as seen in Return to Omashu. I don't like her much, but still, she isnt useless, or deserves to be killed.

    Here's hoping they flesh out her character when she finally sees Zuko again. So far, there hasn't been any scenes that might give her reason to show us another side of her.

    That means nothing. Thats like saying Zuko's swords are useless becuase he couldn't cut anyone, or like saying fire-bending is useless becuase they won't show horrible burns in the show. And we need at least one emo in this show.

    Again. Anyway I'd say lets wait and see for the whole thing, after all, you never quite know what to expect from the show (more or less ).??Avatar is different from the rest and the creators have surprised us more than once that's for sure. Oh and??16.??
