Come on, she shouldn't be surviving some of these falls, lol If you rewatch it, she lets out a small blast of air on impact to just barely cushion the one big fall. And if you watch the commentary on that ep, they even suggest that ~~that one fall likely contributed to her paralysis more so than the poison. So it's not like there isn't serious consequences to it.~~ Compare this to the original series, where characters were constantly falling from comical heights and getting thrown into (or through) solid rock without lasting damage, especially in Book 1 and the early parts of Book 2. Hell, Zuko once got shot into the air for like five full seconds and smacked facedown onto the pavement with no damage. I think our minds get geared to be more critical of fall damage in LoK because the creators actually took steps to be mindful of it this time around, whereas we naturally accept TLA to be more cartoonish about it. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. <cite>masterpug53 posted [p:885175791] in Oh hell ye...

I would have been driven out of my mind to not get closure after Book 3.

It just surprised me is all, even if it makes me look stupid It seems like it would be a mixed ability between earth and fire. I tried to figure out if the concept of lavabending was a break in the lore between TLA and LoK, but IIRC, the only people shown bending lava in the original series are Avatars Kyoshi and Roku, who of course have access to all four elements. I can't comment on Gazhan's lineage, but it's actually kind of intriguing that Bolin unlocked lavabending, considering he had a firebender mother and an earthbender father. It's not something they touched on in LoK, but if we ever get blessed with a third series, I'd like to see dual-bending become a thing now that interbreeding between nations is becoming much more prevalent (this would also expand upon LoK's central theme of the Avatar stuggling to maintain relevance in a rapidly-developing world). --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. <cite>masterpug53 posted [p:885211170] in Oh hell ye...
