which is one of the changes i don't agree with. i don't understand how a nation that has to use an external source of bending was able to conquer the world. take the zutara fight in the oasis, for example. zuko's got this big pit of fire in front of him, how it got there i don't know. but why didn't katara just use her waterbending to put out that fire? if the fire nation has to launch fireballs ahead of them to have a source of bending wherever they invade, why didn't ANY of the waterbenders just douse the flaming cannonballs as soon as they arrived?
it just seems like m. night was less interested in making a live-action adaptation of the series and more interested in making "a movie in which people can manipulate elements and hey i may as well grab some convenient elements from this series which has a really strong and dedicated fanbase already. automatic asses in seats!"
