Talk:Air Nomad Genocide/@comment-24.10.217.171-20110427081339

This is what I actually thought was one of the show's few flaws. The Air Nomads are called Air Nomads, and they were shown to be nomadic when Aang tells of a history of himself traveling the world and getting friends all around the world, so it would seem that Air Nomads would travel around before they were even ten. Nomadic tribes don't just confine themselves to specific temple locations, they travel around. Air Nomads should have been large caravans of Sky Bison who moved large camps around the Earth, Fire, and maybe even water territories. When Hitler wanted to kill all of the Gypsies (who were themselves Nomads) there wasn't some "Gypsy Land" where all gypsies who have ever existed would be. It's like if all people with black skin decided to take a vacation to Africa on the very day that some country decides to nuke it as a first strike in a quest for world domination. No "race" of people would ever be confined within the strict boarders that they are in A:TLA. EVERY single bender was born and bred in their element's national terretory. In a world where "four nations lived together in harmony" people trade and fuck each other (consensually) and all of the bending abilities would have been spread throughout the world. I can sort of just overlook this because it is a kind of premise of the show but how is it that a race of confirmed nomads (in name and Aang [hey that rhymed :P]) all decide to come home for Christmas dinner which just HAPPENS to coincide with the arrival of the Firebenders ultimate weapon who either knew they were all coming home that day or they completely forgot that they were nomadic but the Air Nation JUST HAPPENED to become A-Nomadic on that very day. Two Jackpots in one day.
