Talk:City of Walls and Secrets/@comment-68.81.178.141-20101025235107

When I first saw this episode all I could think of was "Ba Sing Se is like the Avatar equivilent of Haven City from Jak and Daxter". And it sort of is. The walls which protect it yet at the same time cut it off from the outside world. The conspiracies and propaganda related to the war especially. It's like the propaganda posts "Welcome to Haven City. You are safe inside the walls. Trust me." The Baron was always saying the city is safe from the Hora Quan (a.k.a. Metal Heads). The walls in the city are kind of like the color coded security gates, at least to some degree. But arguably most the most recognizable similarity is the Dai Li. They are very similar to the Krimzon Guard. The Earth King is not like Baron Praxis, however. He is a nice guy, albeit a bit naive, while Baron Praxis was a cruel tyrant who used fear and propaganda to gain power (not unlike political figures of the real world). But everything else is just eerily similar to Haven City. No one has to agree or anything, but I just felt that I should say something about it.
