    Rumours are about that Toph was supposed to be that Earthbender in the intro. You know, that big muscle guy that some people think is the Boulder. Is this true?

    I've never heard those rumours. Seems rediculous to me, unless Toph suddenly becomes a big strong man

    Those intro characters??being Aang's teacher is complete bull. Katara was Aang's teacher not that guy so who cares about the intro characters.

    Pakku taught Aang until the end of the Seige of the North. Then he left to go to the southern water tribe, and left the teaching to Katara. So Pakku was one of Aang's teacher. Until I found out the earthbender guy was the boulder, I went by the theory of the intro people being the teachers.

    Azula shatters that theory too. It's not like she's gonna up and teach Aang firebending. *Cough* Unless he gets amnesia...*Cough* And Ty Lee blurts out Azula and Aang are boyfriends. *Cough* Like this. *Cough*

    Here Ya Go.

    Thank you for calling my belief bull. I appreciate that.

    Yes, Katara was Aang's MAIN teacher, but they wouldn't've been able to do it without Pakku's help. Have you even seen the first season?

    I do not believe that the guy in the intro was how they invisioned Toph. If they intended to make Toph join the GAang, they would've made her/him younger like she is now.

    So they're making the story up as they go along? If it takes an episode, nine months to make(according to the creators) how many changes could they make since the whole thing started?
