    Well I can't take credit for coming up with the theory, but I am it's main supporter and spreader on this board. I've been pushing it for some time now. Glad to see it's catching on.

    This has probably been asked before but why are there no blonds, red-heads, or very dark skin people on the show? My guess it's because it's influenced in Asian culture but still the waterbenders have blue eyes and tan skin. I've never seen an asian with blue eyes. Why didn't they made the people of the avatar world of different races?

    to avoid as much as possible that the type of bending is influenced by the race?

    blue eyes is most probable because they wanted to indicate water=blue?

    Yeah. Firebenders have golden eyes, I don't think many Asains in our world do.

    I'm actually happy the Avatar characters have real hair colors. If people had pink/blue/green hair it would be way too anime.

    I like it too, it makes it easier to feel the characters are real.

    Alright, I know this must have been asked at one point or another:

    On DA and various other sites, I see pictures or icons of Zuko involved with the color purple. Now, I hear on ASN that people came up with what is called 'The Purple Theory.' Now, I'm hearing different parts of the theory, like, 'Zuko gets a purple dragon' to 'the blending of Zuko's good and bad halves.' I'm not sure what's the real meaning of the theory. Anyone have anything on that?

    That's about as fictional as Zutara. I say about because Zuko may actually be able to get a purple dragon.

    BTW

    there is no bad red or good blue--------

    blue can be both good and bad and red can be both good and bad

    and if we make it a "blending of the bloodline of Roku and Sozin" than Azula would be purple too

    i also reckon there might be some airbenders hiding somewhere, mainly because aang got sent of to the temple when he was very young, but where did he get sent from?

    also i was wondering how people know sparky sparky boom man (a.k.a combustion man) got his metal limbs/what happened to him to make him get them?

    That is exactly what Sokka said.

    He was to be sent from The Southern Temple to the Eastern, before he just left.

    *screams* ENGLISH!!! But I think I can interpret some of it. But Aang is called the LAST airbender. The Creators called the show that. Avatar, the LAST Airbender. So....NO AIRBENDERS. I wonder if Aang will use Sozin's Comet to his advantage...? But as it looks like Sozin's Comet happens at night. So I wonder if SC happens during a Full Moon!
