      Which goes to show how people understate the importance of the Fire Nation industrial complex. They are fire benders, with METAL MECHANIZED MACHINES. The other nations technologies look decades apart, much of the earth kingdom is rural country side, with farmers, and small towns. Outside of the major cities seen in ATLA. The Northern water tribe is also pretty defenseless against those fire nation artillery balls. The cold temperatures probably do make a difference in fire bending, but a giant fire ball will melt snow/ice, walls bro. That’s just the law of thermodynamics. Kinda funny how this is a kids show with real life cultural representations. This is why I Love ATLA.

    He trully was the most powerful bender in history. Not because of some spiritual connections, not because of cheap tricks, not because of raw strength or power, but because he understood everything about what fire was, he was one with fire, it was like his own body. It wasn't that he could command fire to do his will, he knew how to commad fire to use it into infinite potential. He was breathing like fire, moving like fire, existed like fire. His entire personality was from the begining like flames - Warm, soothing, almost necesary for life, he will help people around him evolve past their limitations no matter who they are. He does not care if you disrespect him, but attack him, and you will burn. Also perfect for making tea.
