Line 1: {{work}} ~~<!-- %% Please add new Wild Mass Guesses at the bottom of the page, not the beginning. This way people will know which Guesses are newer and which ones are older. -->~~ == It was a conscious choice to cast Mark Hamill as Firelord Ozai. == In [[Star Wars\|his most famous role]], Mark is the son of a man who tries to kill him multiple times, sees him only as a tool in his quest for power, and came this close to world domination. Family-wise, the man has a brother, an absent wife, a son who is older and a daughter who is younger. It is also hinted that he was good once upon a time. This has to be more then a coincidence. Also, in one of said father's (being Vader, not Hamill) [[The Lion King\|more famous roles]], he is a king who is killed by his own brother in his lust for power. Also, in this movies sequel, one of two protagonists is a [["Well Done, Son" Guy]] who dose a [[Heel Face Turn]] and acquires a scar on his eye, given by his own parent, and was conditioned into the way his acts by said parent. Also, this boys have similar names. This troper has a lot of free time on her hands... Line 12 ⟶ 11: I think the idea is that it was an intentional [[Actor Allusion]], not just a matter of who was best at the role (although Hamill clearly fit that criteria too). Right. ** Then again, perhaps they were inspired by his equally awesome performance as the animated version of another crazy.. the Joker? == The Avatar world is our world in the ''distant past''. == There was a giant [[Cosmic Retcon]] replacing the four elements with the elements of the periodic table. This led the the Avatar Spirit discontinuing the Avatar system and the elemental bending disciplines (which are related, as implied by the Giant Lion Turtle's speech on Spiritbending) because a) the prospect of learning more than 117 different bending styles, plus reincarnating among an equal number of elemental nations, was enough to give even a transcendent Spirit of the World a massive headache, and b) because the first Plutoniumbenders accidentally wiped out human civilization and wrecked the ecosystem, and the Avatar Spirit didn't want to risk putting the world through that again. (This also explains why there are currently no traces of the Four Nations' civilization, as well as why all the [[Mix-and-Match Critters]] were replaced by bizarre, abberrant, mutated creatures such as "bears", "ducks", and non-flying "bison".) * More likely, due to the prevalence of [[Mix-and-Match Critters]], and the tendency to treat the impossible as a [[Beyond the Impossible\|mild inconvenience]], the Avatar world is actually the world of [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]], and all bending is produced by Spiral Energy. Line 21 ⟶ 20: * Alternatively, the past Gaia, from [[Final Fantasy VII]]. Both worlds use elements such as Fire, Water, and Wind. Not only that but the Air Nomads are nomadic, just as the Cetra from Final Fantasy VII. Not only that, but the Earth Kingdom is similar to a younger form of Midgar, with the Dai Li being similar to the Turks, and the centralized transportation seen in both worlds, with a lower ring and upper ring. Moreover, that could be why some people's bodies are not seen, they just disappeared, as in Final Fantasy VII. The strange looking animals are the proto form of Monsters, do to not being infected by JENOVA. Ostrach Horse=Chocobo? Cosmic Power? Avatar State=Limitbreak? Fire Nation=Wutai and Earth Kingdom=Midgar? * It could be the world of [[The Twelve Kingdoms]] before the Gods decided to separate the four lands in twelve kingdoms and an island in the center. Just look at the mix-n-match creatures, how they can be similar to some youkai. * It could be Star Wars in the distant past, before humans managed to travel the stars, and bending is merely a primitive version of the Force. The Fire Nation are simply early Sith (letting their emotions control their bending) while the Avatar is the original Jedi. * I thought the show took place in a lost era == An upcoming Avatar spinoff will be "Field Trips with Zuko." == In a similar vein as The New Scooby-Doo Movies and Batman: The Brave and the Bold, it will be a series chronicling Zuko's search for Ursa, engaging in wacky team-ups along the way. (Example: Zuko looks for Ursa [[~~Spongebob~~SpongeBob SquarePants\|in a pineapple under the sea,]] Zuko wonders why he dosen't have [[The Fairly ~~Odd Parents~~OddParents\|fairy godparents]] for all the crap he's been through, etc.) Season 1 will feature cartoon Zuko as described above. In Season 2, he'll be played by the actor cast in the Shyamalan film and [[Crossover]] into every by-then-current ''live-action'' [[Nickelodeon]] series. Also, Toph will keep showing up to try to get a refund field trip and constantly get shot down. And the universe will implode at a show turning a [[Memetic Badass]] into a [[Butt Monkey]]. Line 65 ⟶ 64: * {{spoiler\|The movie turns out to be good!}} {{spoiler\|The fans stop complaining about the moive and like it!}} * {{spoiler\|All the fail about the movie is actually a brilliant [[Xanatos Gambit]] by [[Magnificent Bastard]] M. Night Shayamalan, who has actually filmed a separate movie that is faithful to the original series and actually culturally sensitive, but used the fail!movie to [[Villain ~~With~~with Good Publicity\|generate]] [[No Such Thing Asas Bad Publicity\|bad publicity]]!}} * {{spoiler\|Every character played by white will be bad guy, doesn't matter his role in series }} * Everyone is actually {{spoiler\|Adrian Brody.}} Line 73 ⟶ 72: * Or, you know, it's supposed to be a Western with magic kung fu. == White Lotus Pai Sho tiles work like the enchanted galleons [[Harry Potter and ~~The~~the Order of ~~The~~the Phoenix (novel)\|Dumbledore's Army]] use. == In "The Old Masters", Jeong Jeong says "a call went out" to all the members of the White Lotus but no one ever says ''how'' they communicate over such vast distances. Maybe the tiles are more than just how members identify one another; maybe they serve as communication devices as well - at least for something like a meeting place and time. Line 101 ⟶ 100: == If Azula had been a guy like the writers originally planned, less people would find Zucest gross. == Yaoi fangirls would have crawled all over the bedroom scene in The Awakening and tons of other Zucesty scenes in a way that the vast majority of het fans seem more reluctant to do so. == The ember island player's use a separate script outside the fire nation == In the version the Earth kingdom and the Northern water tribe see, the "Gaang" beats the fire lord. == The Ember Island Players were [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]...in-universe == Line 114 ⟶ 113: == Bryke were subtly were hinting at the [[Canon\|real]] end pairings of AtLA from practically the very beginning. == In all the fan-names for the canon pairings, i.e. Kataang, Maiko and Sukka<ref>Or George, but Sukka works for this ~~exersize~~exercise, "George" doesn't</ref>, the name of the girl is first- or, in [[Seme\|some]] [[Uke\|circles]] the one who is "on top" so to speak. Bryke spread these names around on the interwebz. Somehow. Anyhooz, the canon pairings were the ones where the female was "on top" if you will. Zutara just never had any hope... (Besides, much as I adore Zuko, who would believe that be tops? XD) The only one exempt from this is Toph, mostly because she's just that awesome. And ten. (Though that doesn't mean that [[~~Tropers/Loracarol\|~~this troper]] isn't holding out for Tophuke. * Jossed by the commentary. Byrke calls Toph/The Duke "Doph", and they ship it. Line 129 ⟶ 128: == Pants and death really are an illusion. == Aang's true Avatar state is a pantsless immortal being. It knows the truth: Pants are an illusion, and so is death. * This makes perfect sense. Of the five avatars we get to know, only Kuruk and Aang wear pants. Aang is still learning how to be an Avatar, and Kuruk wasn't the best Avatar since he was more of a "go with the flow" kinda guy and as he put it, "everyone solved their own problems." Roku, Kyoshi, and Yangchen wear robes, because they understood the importance of pantslessness. HOWEVER, Yangchen explains that the Avatar must sacrifice his spiritual needs (i.e., not wearing pants) to fulfill his duty to the world. while all of the Avatars lived in a world where pants were required, Yangchen, Kyoshi and Roku could get away with not wearing them. However, pants are needed at the frozen poles where Kuruk comes from, and they're also required for male Airbenders like Aang. Because Aang and Kuruk needed to wear pants due to climate and/or culture, they are less competent Avatars- though in Aang's defense, he's 12 and inexperienced anyway with or without pants, but Kuruk did not get rid of his pants, preferring to "go with the flow". Korra wears pants in the next series, but she's also a new Avatar, and there's nothing so far saying that she won't wear a dress at one point. Or pants are an illusion in the non-mortal realm. Seriously, what use do spirits have for pants?
