<p>Happen to Yakone, between him escaping from jail to starting a family. We don't see much of it, but Yakone clearly goes into an operating theatre to get his face altered to go on the run. </p>

<p>true, although I do think they would perform the sky burial away from civilization for health/safety reasons. </p>

Any grosser than letting worms in the ground to eat people?

<p>that's assuming that the northern water tribe hadn't worked on something like that before the war and it was only later rediscovered/focused upon. Rhinoplasty has been around for centuries and healing could repair only broken blood vessals and other damage like that. </p><p>

For the O.P., I think it may have been an over sight in the design. Although I could be wrong. </p>

possibly Malina is an ancestor or relative to Unalaq's wife.

<p>Source?  </p>

Is this to do with their size or something else? because I haven't heard anything about dinosaurs having more air in them than any other creature.

<p>The human body also irradiates heat - it's part of the reason clothes work in keeping us warm. Although it is much less heat than lava, so I imagine only a skilled or powerful fire bender could do it - after some study of human anatomy. An easier technique might by heat channeling into a person - effectively microwaving their innards with none of the flash of traditional firebending. </p>

<p>I think if bonebending did exist it would a short range technique; the intervening flesh would weaken the bending 'force/signal' so it would be impossible over a long distance. I've also seen suggestions for using firebending to remove the heat from another person's body freezing them to death. </p>

<p>Maybe in the early parts of the war they sent supplies, but by the time of the series they only had man power to send in. </p>

<p>Eliminating the Southern Water tribe does make sense as 1) They are sending warriors to fight in the war; 2) removing them stops at least one potential flanking force if they ever regroup; 3) next avatar was most likely to be born there.  </p>

<p>Never seen an airbender control some-one throught the air insider of them, so no reason for dinosaurs to be special. </p>

<p>They're dinosaurs, not air, so no. Bloodbent - yes. dinosaurs are creatures and not aerial gases. There is no reason why airbending would work on them differently than any other creature. Might be able to remove the air from their lungs or push the dinosaurs with wind via airbending, but the dinosaur itself would not be bent. </p>

<p>-*Rereads the post* Oops. </p>

<p>I think if bending is taken away by bloodbending yes, although Amon may have not developed any such recovery technique with his blood bending, but if bending is removed by energybending then no.  </p><p>

<p>Ctrl+f works on pages when you access them with a Windows pc, also can be used to search word docs, pdfs, etc. Not so sure about Macs and other Unix based systems. </p>

<p>I agree with Otaku.Yuri, the voice doesn't suit Iroh II, it makes him sound like a 16 year old, not a general who is at least 26 if not older. Works for Prince Zuko, but not his Grandchild 70 years latter. </p>

<p>Yeah, but you made a statement  without a proof, Korra might be the last series, but no proof that she's the last in universe. </p>

<p>Where is your proof of Korra being the last Avatar? Korra had the memories of the previous Avatars lost, yes, but Raava rejoined with her and there is no reason to assume that the spirit of peace and light would stop the Avatar cycle in the future. </p>

<p>Here's my answer to the initail post (and only the orignal post): </p><p>Amon: </p><p>1) Amon's revolution wouldn't have helped in the long run, the problems of society would eventually catch up with the post-anti-bender revolution sooner rather than latter. Most of the revolutionaries would still be poor and disenfrancised, or soldiers for the United Republic of Nations as a non-bending state and eventually goes to war with the Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation and Water Tribe, and die in a war of attrition; and assuming Vaatu didn't destroy the world, there's a good chance that the United Republic would be reabsorbed into the Earth Kingdom, and be under the iron fist and cruel focus of Hou-Ting, which would be bad for the common people. </p><p>2) There is no indication that Amon's bending removal would affect the inheritence of bending by the children - and assuming that Amon's non-bending state somehow survives, that's a generation of people oppressed for something that isn't their fault, and oppressed far worst that non-benders in the old regime. Think jews in Nazi Germany for the benders in the non-bender state vs. African-Americans in US for non-benders in the United Republic. And that's including attacks on their parents, who thought they would be living in peace, after giving birth to bending-child.  </p><p>3) Amon's ideas are based on getting Equality through negative  means - it is based on hatred and fear of bending, and thus is a terrible philosophy. Amon was largely basing it off his own terrible childhood under Yakone and the horrific power of Bloodbending he inherited. </p><p>4)The problems the Equalists want to solve - inequality between benders, social divides based on nationally/elementally aligned groups - were largely resolved by peaceful means, and sure the revolution did push it, but think about how much more productive if most of the people had focused on protests and working within the system. But instead Amon causes a massive guerrilla/terrorist/civil war to try and go to anoth extreme; choicing the path of violence to achieve his goals - because his ideas can have no combatibility with real justice or permanent peace. They are discordant, and based on violence against one group - with the problems they promised to solve being much better dealt with by peaceful society and political modification. </p><p>
</p><p>
</p><p>Zaheer: </p><p>1) Anarchism is stupid; it will only lead to violent chaos, or people forming new social orders that go against anarchism ideas of indepence. It was foolish of Zaheer to think that his principles of peace without order would be shared by everyone - and that people wouldn't react in dangerous ways. </p><p>2) Zaheer conspired to release an incredibly powerful and evil spirit, Vaatu, into the world without investigating what horrors that it could do. It is the fundamental spirit of chaos and darkness, and he wanted it out with no-way to really handle it. Great planning there mr. Anarchy. </p><p>
</p><p>Okay I'm going to admit I have less of an arguement with Zaheer than Amon, but I still don't think he was up to any good. Although I am left with two questions for FireFerret: </p><p>A) Why start with the assumptions that Amon and Zaheer are right without proof and demands others disprove this incorrect Axiom? </p><p>and </p><p>B) Why only Amon and Zaheer, why not also demand critiques of  Unalaq or Kuvira? What about the former two makes them more irreproachable than the latter duo? </p>

<p>Yes and no, Korra is the last of the old cycle and the start of a new cycle; there is no reason for Korra to be the Last Avatar and there to be no Earth-kingdom follow up. </p>
