I'm crossing my fingers for "The Lost Tales of Sparky-Sparky Boom Man".

Yes! I would watch that in an instant!

I still remember the first time I saw that guy attack the main group. Sure, there have been characters that exhibit advanced bending techniques before; but with each one we saw a gradual evolution of their techniques and the logic behind them. Example: Blood Bending. It's a form of water bending. Then we see that water is inside things such as vines in a swamp and thus the vines can be controlled. Then we saw how a persons sweat could be effectively collected to control. We we're reminded that water is inside people as well; furthermore, not just in our sweat but in our blood. So a person's body could be moved by bending the blood inside them. So that's Blood Bending.

But what Combustion Man did, came outta nowhere. I nearly fell out of my seat when it happened. Like: "Holy sh*t!!! WTF was THAT!!?" 
I never expected to see anything like it coming from Avatar. The general concept isn't completely original. Someone blowing sh*t up with their mind is more like something out of Fullmetal Alchemist. But the visual (and astounding audio) effect of the attack is mind blowing. Something that emits a sonic boom is exceptionally more alien in a world like Avatar's.

I just enjoy the fact that he's shooping from his forehead all the time. Ultimate pwnage for the Gaang!



Such a shame he never came back... 

[Mechadon]

Such a shame he never came back... 

It's, like, the only time we see someone die in the show.

What about Jet...?

Oh right, as Sokka said during the play, "I don't know, it's kind of ambiguous"...

[sjonnoh]

Zhao also died...

[sans soul]

um...and Princess Yue?

and if you want to get technical, Aang, too.

[sjonnoh]

oh yeah.. I was only thinking about the bad guys XD

[Razgrizblaze1]

Pheh, technicalities. What a twist it would have been if Aang had died...period.

[Mechadon]

I'd like to point out that there is a whole nation of fire throwing people wagging war against the whole world. And yet nobody is ever set on fire...

Yes, I can probably guess that someone here's going to find a screenshot of someone on fire and I'll look like a moron ...again.

[sans soul]

that's because they don't want to show people running around engulfed in flames in a pg-rated animated series.

you do, however, see multiple people in the series with burn injuries, or burned clothing.

there's a scene where Aang is falling out of a ball of fire from the sky in the final combat, and the fire is burning his clothes off...but i couldn't get a screenshot, so i'll just leave you with this.

[Mechadon]

Okay, guess it's time to put my blood thirsty rants to rest. I am getting nit-picky with my objections. The show excels more than others with the mature themes it tries within it's target audience. I actually thought Zucko's injury was a bit gruesome when he was introduced.

Ah... Iroh. The disco inferno himself.

[Razgrizblaze1]

Yeah, I tried remembering if it ever showed anyone actually being inflicted (on screen) with a fire-type injury. The closest we get is right before Ozai gives Zuko his scar in the flashback of awesomeness...

[Mechadon]

I shouldn't matter though...

Anticipating gratuitous injury and death is not the spirit of the show.

I was just being a jackass as usual.

Who the hell is Zucko?

Sounds like a Jam and Jelly type company.

Don't remember that from the series.

[sjonnoh]

zuko...only a c to much X3
btw I've been thinking and also forgot that katara's mother died...though that happened before the whole story

[Mechadon]

It was a typo. "c" is so close to "k".

[Crow]

It was a typo. "c" is so close to "k".

Well it's forever immortalized in forum history as being the Jam and Jelly guy.

Instead of him having a deep, rich background with awesome character development (plus a wicked scar). He is.. The Jelly guy... I am disappoint.

Way to ruin his image.

I don't know how Zucko got confused for Smucks all of a sudden, but Zuko is definitely an interesting character...minus the constant brooding and obsessive personality throughout the first season. *shudder*

[Mechadon]

Yah... Shyamalan totally screwed it up... again.

Story was nothing like the show. Look what they did to Zuko... they made him into a white colonel with the wrong type of scar on the wrong side of his face!!! They turned Ba Sing Se into a giant tree and gave the Fire Nation a bunch of helicopters!!! Good thing they fired his ass and let Cameron make something out of what they had left.
