Avatar Extras (Book Three: Fire)



Avatar Extras was an event hosted by Nicktoons in which episodes of Avatar: The Last Airbender were shown along with a series of pop-up extras giving facts and humorous comments.

The information provided by this event is slightly regarded as canon, though it is hard to differentiate between what is intended to be humor and what is intended to be factual. Regardless, Avatar Extras has helped the expansion topics and subjects that were only briefly introduced during the series by various means, such as providing official terminology as well as specifying pieces of information, such as the exact age of certain characters.

Below is a list comprised of trivia and information released by Avatar Extras on episodes of the third book.

 * 44) (The group tell Toph of other evil things Zuko has done) Recap: Toph didn't join the group until Book Two.
 * 45) ...so she missed out on a bunch of evil Zuko things.
 * 46) ("I'm beginning to wonder who's really the blind one around here!" -Toph) Oh snap!

 * 77) ... Sokka's used to them.
 * 78) ("You know Prince Zuko, destiny is a funny thing. You never know how things are going to work out. But if you keep an open mind, and an open heart, I promise you will find your own destiny someday." -Iroh) Uncle was right.
