    It's got to be iroh because he's been to the spirit world, He's studied and adopted fire-water-air and earth bending techniques, but, best of all, he's not a woman beater (like his bro)
    Just because you go to the spirit world, you don't get some extra boost of power. Yes he does know more techniques from different nations (although only one nation has been shown), that doesn't necessarily mean that Ozai can't beat him with complete force. Also whether he's a woman beater or not, what does that have to do with bending?

    It's a shame how almost every Avatar episode is called a filler. Of course bloodbending is going to play into the series later. Remember that Avatar has a limited number of episodes, so there is not a need for fillers.

    first of all you are right that not every avatar episode is not a filler. the puppetmaster though is still yet to play its part in the main story line. the beach, the runaway and all those sorts of episodes are sometimes reffered to as fillers because they just retold stuff that we already knew and also because some parts were out of character in these episodes. (such as azula), the beach nor the runaway are truly fillers but i feel like they were just put there to take up space before DoBS, when i was watching them they didnt really come out to me as the other episodes did.

    We haven't even seen all the episodes yet so we can't deem what's filler and what's not, bloodbending might come into play when Katara confronts her mother's killer.

    And why Azula on the poll when Ozai is clearly more powerful than her. In fact I think Ozai is more powerful than anyone on the poll.

    I voted for Ozai because of his lightning attack. But the answer clearly is Aang because he's the only person who can "multi-bend."
    I think in the original post hkulka said no avatars.

    yes i said no avatars because theres obviously no competition to multi bending (even more so once you completely master it. and also the only competition that people think of when you bring up aang is katara becuase of her bloodbending abilities. as a response to the top part suss2it, the puppetmaster at this current point in the series is a filler, if things change in future episodes, though then it will not be considered a filler.

    i don't think anyone's idiotic enough to actually think bloodbending won't come up in future episodes

    bloodbending could come up, but i'm just basing its a filler off the current facts.

    Most action adventure shows that deal with power start out as: Main Villain > Everyone Else

    The Main Hero usually starts with little to no skill and works their way up the power ladder by defeating lesser opponents so by the end it's: Main Hero barely > Main Villain > Everyone Else.

    Main tagonists aside and disregarding the fact that whoever wins depends on whatever the writers of the show decide, who wins a fight depends on their skill, environment, and how they use those things to their advantage. DBZ has corrupted a lot of minds into thinking the one with the greater power level always wins.

    Yes, Katara and Toph and Zuko all know special moves that only a select few know, but does that mean those little tricks will guarantee victory against every bender they meet? And not to mention, there's no way any of them know every single technique for their elements. People say Toph can beat Bumi simply because she can do something he can't, but I'm willing to bet his 100 years of experience have taught him a few moves she doesn't even know about. Plus, which one lasted longer against Aang?

    yeah a lot of people do jump to the conclusion that toph is better at bending than bumi because she can bend metal but bumi has some tricks he's learned in his 100 years.

    did anyone notice that the poll is perfectly in sync with the votes? i mean toph and katara are tied for second place, ozai and iroh are tied for first place and azula is in last place
