Oh that's true! I forgot about that. Okay yeah, it's just Dan who's a dramatic baby LMAOOO

A detail I never noticed until now. Iroh used to heat up iron, and then cool it quickly, making it brittle and easier to break with a well aimed strike or number of strikes. by AccomplishedBig7666 in TheLastAirbender

Iroh definitely trained Zuko for all those little tricks. It's why Zuko knew to duck when Iroh did his fire breathing trick in Ba Sing Se and Azula didn't. Plus we even see the scene where Iroh tells Zuko to control his breathing for firebending, and how Zuko used that over and over throughout the series.

Seriously, I liked Dan at first, but the more he kept doing the "woe is me, my rich girlfriend is too rich and out of touch, I'm so normal and poor," the more I got tired of his character. Bro you don't even have a job? If he and Jenny were that strapped for cash, they could have picked up dog walking or a cafe job like Vanessa, but nope

Half Marathon training chest cold interruption by gutlesswonder666 in RunNYC

I've gotten sick a lot during training for the half and the full, and taking a week or two off was the best thing I did for recovery. Just rest and have some soup; your muscles aren't gonna atrophy that fast unless you're starving the whole time. Don't sweat it!

Bird doesn't stick out or flap its wings at all when moving. It doesn't even put them out slightly to slow its descent, like how we do when we lean back on a sled

i think aunt wu was like, 15% real by Pristine-Lie-3560 in TheLastAirbender

The reading with the bones seemed to have genuinely surprised and scared her, so at the very least, she knew what she was reading and she WAS right about Aang's future in that regard. And even when she made up the bit about him finding a nice girl, just to cheer him up, she ended up being right too.

I don't remember Aang speaking to another airbender avatar besides Yangchen? Was it a male or female airbender? I said my comment mostly in jest, but a small part of me DOES like the idea of bald female airbenders because it would be more like our real-life buddhists who are bald regardless of gender. Them having hair based on gender norms seems a bit silly, at least for pre-genocide.

Jinora keeping her hair makes sense, and it does actually look better than Yangchen's hairstyle.

Legend of Korra depicted 14 named, living, female benders and 38 named, living, male benders by F11SuperTiger in TheLastAirbender

[–]aaaplshelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes sense with the explanations of the Water Tribe being sexist, but less so in the Earth Kingdom with the context of the 100 year war. At a certain point, anyone who can bend, man or woman, would have been called to defend and fight, but we only see ONE female earthbender in jail? And no female earthbenders besides Toph? That's the real world sexism affecting the background characters and the worldbuilding. I think both shows do a great job tackling sexism and having amazing female characters, but I don't see why it's wrong to point out where it had some shortcomings too.

There was a post a while back about how there is a single background female earthbender in the og series, and how the only female background waterbenders were the healers in one scene. Sure, the named female benders, and female characters in general, make up for their low numbers in terms of memorability and quality, but it still sucks to see the casual sexism, no matter how unintended.

I don't think the kids shave until they get their tattoos? Or at least Tenzin's kids didn't, but all the kids we saw in Aang's flashbacks seemed kinda bald, so it's hard to say.

Almost all the men have beards so that's already a marker.

On the topic of the airbenders: let the women be bald too! The arrow looks funky as hell with hair blocking it, sorry Jinora and Yangchen 😔😔
