Fantasy Vs Science Fiction: The Modern Dramatic Duo

Oma and Shu are not a Myth

When the Legend of Korra came out, it introduced many points that seem to contradict the original lore.  Because of this, there has been a lot of confusion on what is the true origin of bending is.  However, even though korra suggest many things, it can not overturn physical evidence.  

Not hating on Super Carlin Brothers or Hello Furture Me, but people seem to overlook the fact that we have corpses to prove they existed.  

Avatar:  Dragon Eggs and the Solstice

In Episode 313 (The Firebending Masters) Aang and Zuko enter a secret chamber and discover a ‘gem’ that “feels almost alive”.  This has led many fans to believe that the ‘gem’ is actually a dragon egg.  

Let’s assume this theory is correct.    

But if it’s a dragon egg, why would the Sun Warriors hid it here?

The obviously reason is for protection.  Dragons had been hunted almost to extinction, and a dragon egg would be rare and very precious thing.   

But I have another theory.  

The Sun Warriors hid the egg in a chamber that could only be opened during the solstice (most likely the summer solstice).  In the avatar world, the solstice is when the spirit world and the physical world are closest together and spiritual energy is at its peak.  The solstice is also when the Sun is at its strongest/ weakest (relative to the perspective on earth).  The Sun is the source of firebending.  And since Dragons are the original firebenders, it would make sense for dragons to have some connection to the Sun and the solstices.  

My theory is that secret chamber is specifically designed to hatch dragon eggs.  

On the solstice the chamber would open.  Then Sun Warriors would bath the egg in sunlight concentrated from the sunstone outside.  The concentrated sunlight during the solstice would fill the egg with spiritual energy and cause it to hatch.  (Just like how Roku used the solstice to talk to and empower Aang.)  

To me at least, it makes sense that the original firebenders would be born on the solstice.  

AIR BENDING PAMPHLET

Now we have one for each element.  

I can easily see this during the next Fire-Nation Avatar.  And since the Fire-Nation is based off Japan I can see this totally working.  

Avatar but its a summer anime in the 90s and they still have powers and stuff but also live like normal highschoolers

I’m so happy to see all these Avatar related animations.   This one is of Aang Earth Bending by Renan Nunes.

What ethnicity should Republic City represent?

Thinking back to Republic City..... If it's a fusion of Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation Which represent China and Japan respectively.

Then maybe Republic City should represent a country that has both Chinese and Japanese influences.   Maybe Korea or Hong Kong.   Though I'm not sure if you could consider those countries a fusion a China and Japan.  

Anyone from there have an opinion?

I love these visuals from AvatarParallels.

The Moon and Ocean Spirits are the source of all Waterbending, so Commander Zhao essentially unplugged the Waterbending WiFi and even took out their Internet satellite (i.e. The MOON).

Avatar:  What order should you learn the Elements?

Each Avatar must learn to master the four elements.  It’s traditional to learn the elements in the same order as the avatar cycle, but this isn’t mandatory.  There are several examples where an Avatar learned the elements “out of order”.   One idea I’d love to see is an Avatar learning in reverse order.   (Such as Korra learning:  Water, then Air, then Fire, and finally Earth) I like this idea because it might help the Avatar connect better to their past lives.  By learning in reverse order, the Avatar could learn about their predecessors along with learning the elements.   e.g.

Korra would learn about Aang while learning Airbending.

Roku as she learned Firebending.

And Kyoshi as she learned Earthbending.

(She would still learn waterbending first since it’s her native element, and I see no reason for her to learn about “Kuruk the idiot”.) The past Avatars might even be able to help the current Avatar learn the bending.
