<p>Suki, Ty Lee, Mai and Azula may also still be alive. </p>

I wish Momo can talk so he can tell Aang about the Air Nomad Genocide. he probably saw a few airbenders and ran away to hide somewhere.</i></div>
<p>And he hid in a secret cave for 100 years? I doubt his species can live that long. </p>

<p>Well, that would be pretty exciting if Nick hadn't just made it kinda clear that we'll have to wait several more months before Korra airs. : / </p>

<p>It would be interesting to see what Disney would do with the franchise. After Shyamalan's epic failure, I'm kinda skeptic about new attempts to convert the series into a live-action movie trilogy though. I'd rather stick with the animated characters. </p> <div class="quote"><i>General Nowacking wrote:

<p>I'm not a nudist. :P </p>

<p>It isn't.  ; ) </p>

<p>Maybe Nick doesn't like LOK because it's not in CGI. Is it just me or are all the new shows in CGI these days? >_> </p>

<p>I wanna see some Air Nomads kick some invading Fire Nation soldier butt.  : ) </p>

umm.. that would be the Dark Avatar. </div> <p>No no, then they'd be forced into a role where they enforce a doctrine of (dark) spirit supremacy and get to treat all people the opposite of nicely. What I'm talking about is a bad person forced into a benevolent role, like Avatar Azula from a fanon I read a while ago. </p>

This Lin looks like she's gonna go do things, and not tell Mako he's silly (though sometimes I question it myself). Correct me if I'm wrong but we did not see her kick butt or even battle in Book 2. Here's hoping Book 3 is an entirely different story, seeing as it is based on her.  ;)</i></div>
<p>Ah, thought you were saying her looks were different in the two Books. </p><p>Yup, it looks like there's gonna be a lot more action for Lin in Book 3.  : ) </p>

So what did you guys think of the new image? Doesn't Lin look much more like Book 1 Lin?  :D</i></div>
<p>I hadn't noticed much of a difference. I wish Lin would get a different haircut, though.  ; ) </p>

<p>Definitely, the guy could control several volcanoes at once. Roku struggled with one. </p> </div> <p>I'd say causing a volcano to erupt is a lot easier than stopping it when it's already in full-on eruption mode. </p>

<p>Looks like Upfront didn't feature anything Korra-related. :( </p>

<p>I'd like to know more about either of the female Avatars in the row behind Yangchen's. And now that I'm looking at it, aren't they ordered wrongly? I'm seeing water-water-air-fire there. </p>

I was talking "the Rift" with a friend and she thinks that Asami and Satoru are related, and then said something like: "what if Asami's mom and Lin were sisters?"  That sounded plausible until I realized, A. she doesn't really look anything like Toph or Satoru, B. Lin would've mentioned something to Hiroshi AT LEAST because he used to be her brother-in-law, C. Even if the relationship between them was strained at all, Asami probably would have still known/ mentioned that Lin was her Aunt....  OR you know....something like that.   <p>Seems like we developed a crack theory, but what does everone else think about this Satoru guy so far?  Seems nice? Loveable? Secretly up to something?  Related to who this and that etc? </p> </i></div>
<p>The colour coding suggests that Asami has Fire Nation ancestry, so she might be a distant relative of Satoru. </p>

<p>1. I think so, yeah. I didn't get the impression Mai broke up out of a lack of attraction. </p><p>2. The law of Chekhov's gun kinda requires this to happen. </p>

Again, depends on what theory you subscribe to. If its the broader definition of earth, which I used to exclusively support, then yea all that should be bendable. For the narrower silicon dependent theory, which is starting to grow on me, then things get a bit messy. Chances are, like the vast majority of earthen substances, the crystals bent in Ba Sing Se were rich in silicon, while salt is basically just NaCl. Diamonds tend to lack silicon as well, being pretty much pure carbon. Coal, on the other hand, tends to have a good chunk of silicon in its makeup,</i></div>
<p>I think earthbenders can bend anything made up out of minerals. I get the idea it's more the state of the matter that determines if someone can bend it rather than what atoms it contains. I wonder if waterbenders could bend non-water liquids like mercury too. </p>

<p>Salt should be bendable, since they could bend those crystals below Ba Sing Se too. We've seen coal being bended too, so diamonds should normally be bendable too. They're probably limited to just moving the diamonds around, though, since it's such a strong, compact material. </p>

<p>For 200 Avatars the average age would be 50 and for 150 it would be 66.666... Given that two ages of the currently know Avatars are as high as 166 and 230, these might seem like very low averages, but all in all, if a majority of Avatars died before they reached the age of 50 or 66, then the average lifespan won't be offset much by the centenarians of recent times. </p><p>It's not implausible that shortly after Wan's time there could've been an anti-Avatar tyrant set on killing the Avatar as soon as possible, or there might've developed a superstition that a person bending multiple elements was a "demon child", so some Avatars might've died very young. </p><p>It's also possible that life generally wasn't all that turbulent for an Avatar, with only few exceptions across the 10,000 years span. In the end, we can only speculate. </p>

<p>Yes, she could make a cameo. No, I don't think she was the high priestess. </p>
