Talk:Flying bison/@comment-92.29.25.53-20130528153742

Hi I recently watched the Last AirBender film by Shamalyan. I agree it was slow with bad acting and very dull but I heard the television series was much better so I recently started watching it but I have a question:

Firelord Ozai wanted to kill the Avatar to allow the Fire Nation's armies to conquer the Water Tribes, the Earth Nation and The Air tribes so his armies used the power of a passing Comet to super-enhance their firebending and used fire-flight plus dragons to travel up the great mountains to the Air Temples on the mountaintops

Then his armies stormed the entire temple and murdered all the Airbenders; the monks fought back but they were pacifist monks who believed in peace and harmony plus they were caught off guard. So all the stronger monks and masters perished then the soldiers set fire to the  before searching all the buildings, they tracked down then murdered all the children and the infants. Then they burned the temple complex but couldn't find Aang, the Avatar.

But I thought there were thousands of flying bisons in the Temples? The master Airbenders all had a bison each plus some of the pupil Airbenders had bison. The Air Nomads kept the flying bisons to travel from tribe to tribe and to get around the high mountains. The bison were their spiritual companions. Why didn;'t the Airbening monks all evacuate on the flying bisons?
