I only thought of it since the Fire Nation had the largest number of benders per capita and seeing as how more benders are born in those months it would have been to Sozin or Azulon's advantage as the war drug on and a greater demand for more benders occurred.

<p>I use to have the old bootleg toys with plastic clothes hangers for tails. As good as the original team is, Voltron is one of the classic teams in those brackets. Some of the best hero teams came out of the 70's and 80's era. </p>

<p>I've noticed that when he uses it, Bolin uses an open palm style when he launches his attacks. </p>

I hope it's not wrong to say but I would have voted for Voltron anyway. So many more childhood memories.

Traditional may be slower but enables for more powerful attacks and flexibility. Lava and metal bending can only be performed with traditional style. </p> </i></div>
<p>Lava bending doesn't have to be used with the traditional stance. When Bolin fought Ghazan he made use of the pro bending style for the first part of the fight until Ghazan began to dominate, then he decided to switch up. </p>

I was actually really upset that the show ended this way. I believe that homosexuality is wrong. Now before you go calling me a bigot for stating my opinion, I don't hate gay people, I've known a few and they are nice people, but I don't agree with their lifestyle. Ok rant over.</i></div>

I wonder why Zuko never contacted June to help hunt down Aang. If he was so confident the Avatar was alive why not hire the best tracker team in the business?

<p>I've only ever said I just didn't like it and I've tried to defend others who, as I've seen on this wiki in the past couple of months get attacked verbally just because they say they don't like it for whatever reason (bad writing,religious beliefs, etc.). It just seems to me that that one scene has brought out the worst in some people here. Now I can't speak for every comment that's been posted on the various pages (whose got that kind of time) but I've seen some state their reasons in a respectful way and get treated with disrespect. That's all I'm saying. I'm not here to get into heated arguments with anyone, I just come here to talk about a show I enjoy. </p>

How is it irony just because I won't say I like it or it's the coolest thing that they decided to do it in the show? I honestly find it ironic that you can criticize someone just because they won't agree with you on a subject like this or any other.

<p>Confused. It was shown that the elements all effected Vaatu when he fought Wan but when the United Republic military was launching their assault it did nothing at all, didn't even make him flinch. And if it was going to be a 10,000 years of darkness, did that mean Unalaq was immortal or was it simply going to go through the cycle like the regular Avatar? </p><p>Unalaq had elements of Scar from Lion King without the sophistication or charm. And I find it funny that despite being such a talented water bender, he was captured with relative ease by the rebels who could have killed him then and there and stopped the plan from the beginning. </p>

<p>Wanna make a page to talk about Unalaq? Because I have quite a few questions about his character or lack there of. </p>

<p>Because liking gays is "progressive" so anything contrary to that is "regressive"?
</p> </div> <p>That's rather harsh. Just because everyone doesn't agree with that notion they are somehow backwards in their thinking? </p>

In theory it makes sense. It should work on the same principal as waterbenders and ice. It's just changing the element from one form into another.

Why is it a so called "regressive" worldview just because someone doesn't agree with what you think is acceptable?

<p>I wonder if having a new form of government like that would effect how other nations viewed them, making them less likely to want to trade with them. </p>

The "Batman's voice" started with Kevin Conroy in the <i>Batman: The Animated Series</i>, which was made possible by the financial success of the horrible Tim Burton's live-action Batman movies. Kinda like Korra was made possible by TLA movie.[1] In life, you take the good with the bad. </p> </i></div>
<p>No I get that. I grew up on the old Batman show So I was use to Conroy's delivery. Bale just sounded like, to quote HOSHE "gargling marbles" it made me laugh most of the time. And I think a lot of people enjoyed Mark's performance of Joker in the show as well. </p><p>I did enjoy the original Burton film. It set a darker tone for batmen to come. Now the second one, now that was bad. Weird how the Nolan movies made so much more money but couldn't help Beware the Batman take off. Though I think that was more mishandling on DC's part. </p>

<p>That's what I was thinking when the Dark Knight trilogy came out and I heard Batman's voice. I had to keep trying to imagine Kevin Conroy's voice over it. </p>
