Zuko must be facepalming so often due to the actions of firebenders that he probably has a permanant hand mark on his forehead by now. Seriously, did firebenders join their money together to buy the patent on murder or something? Do no waterbenders ever kill anyone? Do earthbenders never kill? Are non-benders morally superior or something?

This is actually kind of an issue with the overall story that I have. The four elements are supposed to be balanced and everything, but the firebenders are, time after time, shown to be evil, murderous thugs. Oh sure there are exceptions, like Zuko or Iroh, or Mako, but overall it seems like every major sob story every character has in both this and the previous series involved a firebender. In the previous series it made some sense due to the events transpiring, but in the wake of the war, you'd think firebenders would really try to refrain from doing things that could make them look bad. In that way, you'd think firebenders would be the LEAST likely to use their bending to do horrible things, if only out of self-interest since people would likely be looking for reasons to hate firebenders in the wake of the war.

But no, apparently murder just comes as second nature to firebenders. Mako and Bolins parents: Killed by Firebender. Amon's parents: Killed by firebender (?); Hiroshi Sato's wife: Killed by firebender. Sokka and Katara's mom: Killed by firebender. The entire air nomad race (except 1): Killed by firebenders.

I mean, holy crap firebenders. Reign it in a little would you. Zuko must be really irritable by now since his people seem to be doing everything they can to continue looking like the bad guys, and it must really hamper his attempts at maintaining peace and balance when his fellow firebenders are still the main instigators of murder in the world. Let the other benders have a chance to kill a little would you.
