| "Revolting the comic medium." |
| — Tagline of Kyoshi Revolts Presents... |
Kyoshi Revolts Presents... is a series of three short comedy comic strips based on the fan fiction story Kyoshi Revolts. The comics are written and drawn by SuperFlash101 and edited by Kyoshi Revolts co-authors Waterkai and Vaznock. They were created for the Kyoshi marathon, "Revoltathon," and were each published on Avatar Wiki on March 14, 2010. The comics are generally self-referential, satirizing events in the series and the character's personalities, while also parodying themes such as sin and the NRM Scientology.
Kyoshi Revolts Presents... was difficult for SuperFlash to script due to a lack of actual ideas, and Flash was forced to scrap two of the original scripts in favor of three solid ones, which he ran by Vaznock via e-mail. "Burned" was still the most difficult to script and went through three rewrites. Artistically, the comics are executed in a stylized cartoon design, though originally they were supposed to be illustrated in an anime style. That concept was changed, though, after Vaznock noted that a "silly" style would be more fitting. Flash was generally rushed for deadline and did not finish the comics until the morning of their release.

Conception[]
In 2010, The avatar suggested to Waterkai and Vaznock during an IRC conversation a marathon for the pair's Avatar fan fiction story, Kyoshi Revolts, entitled "Revolathon." The idea for the marathon was happily expected, and it was planned that on that Friday, two chapters would be released, then on Saturday, another two would be published, while on Sunday, the series' inclusion to the crossover Clash of Worlds 2 would be released. However, Vaznock, feeling spontaneous, decided to release all four chapters on Friday, and then the Clash of Worlds 2 part on Saturday. SuperFlash101 then suggested that he make a few comic strips based on the series for Sunday, which Vaznock and Waterkai each gleefully accepted.
Scripting[]
Upon being assigned to create the comics, SuperFlash opened up a word document and began writing down ideas. "Sin" was the first comic he conceived; it was based on an idea he had about Chen and Giu discussing sin, which he realized would be a perfect way to start off the comic series. The original script designated for a much longer dialogueless sequences, such as one panel consisting solely of Chen sitting in the chair (referred to in the script as a "seat of some sorts") and a long pause before Giu walks off.
"Scientology" was actually the third comic to be scripted by Flash. The original plans for the comic had Kaila handing Mina a pamphlet about the NRM, too which Mina says is just a science fiction novel. One of Flash's friends convinced him that this was devoid of solid humor and would be much more comedic if it was purely visual, so Flash changed it so Kaila handed Mina a DVD. Flash came up with a visual draft on MS Paint to accompany the script as a visual representation; this draft featured the DVD being Star Wars, Episode IV: A New Hope, but a friend of Flash's on IRC noted that it would be funnier if it was Battlefield Earth, a film based on a novel written by the founder of the NRM.
"Burned" was the most difficult of the comics to write. Flash was unsure about what dialogue he should include to make it humorous. Though he is normally adequate at writing dry dialogue, he was at a loss as to how to word such a short series of scenes. The script for that comic therefore went through three rewrites until Flash believed it was finally at a suitable level of comedy. Originally, Flash planned on making five comics for the series. However, the fourth script featured Kambi and Chen singing "Love Me, Love Me," and Flash felt it not only was too similar to a scene in the TV sitcom The Office, but also gave off the impression that the two were being portrayed as homosexual, thus ruining the entire joke, so Flash scrapped the idea entirely. Flash could not come up with any more ideas, so he merely decided to limit the comics to three.
Upon finishing the three scripts, Flash e-mailed Vaznock the scripts for editing. Vaznock enjoyed all three, particularly "Scientology," which he noted reminded him of the South Park episode "Trapped in the Closet," so Flash began drawing the comics.
Art[]
Originally, SuperFlash intended for the comics to be drawn in an anime style as he had done with the promotional poster for "Revoltathon." He was still unsure about if he should, though, so he e-mailed Vaznock about which style the comics should be drawn in: "anime or silly cartoon-ish." Vaznock felt the carton design was better suited, so SuperFlash went off with it. The first comic drawn was "Sin," which took SuperFlash hours to actually do; not because it was difficult to draw, but because he kept on procrastinating. The rest of the comics were drawn the following morning, March 14.
Flash continued with "Scientology," which was originally supposed to be the third comic and therefore last comic drawn. However, Flash was still uncertain about how to successfully orchestrate "Burned," so he put that comic off until the end. While "Scientology" is the most simple of the entire comic trilogy (sans the DVD, which Flash had to insert on MSPaint, which Flash at first thought was going to be difficult; in actuality, it was incredibly simple), "Burned" is the most intricate. Structurally, it was a difficult thing to create, and Flash was initially forced to draw it horizontally in order to fit all the panels. Eventually, however, he decided to draw it vertically and cut off unnecessary panels. The comic eventually came out as Flash's favorite of the three, artistically.
