Keep in mind that the Fire Nation is the only major bending nation that can bend fire without being anywhere near their element, specifically an open flame source. Waterbenders have to keep a pocket of water with them at all times when traveling further inland, Earthbenders have to have something made of ground or stone to be able to throw at targets, and Air Nomads don't need to worry about running out of air because if there's no air, no life would be able to live in the Avatar World. In direct contrast, the Fire Nation is the only elemental nation that can bend fire even when far away from an open flame. This is because as mammals, Firebenders are endothermic, which means they constantly generate heat, and where there's heat, there's fuel for fire.

* This also explains why the Fire Nation's maximum security prison has citizens who attemped a LaResistance [[YouHaveFailedMe or failed the nation in a way that's unforgivable]] be put [[LockedInAFreezer in an extremely frigid cell]], which makes sure they can't use their firebending to escape without risking freezing to death.

** Bloodbending could lend itself to a fighting style similar to a [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft Death Knight]] as ice bending is another accompanying talent. Again, in responsible hands, this could used by protagonists. In the wrong hands, we may have a "Blood Lord" villain that might give figurative chills to even antagonist fire benders.

benders. Now, given the show's limits on disturbing images, abilities like AnimateDead would probably restore the dead to living-like condition (to avoid showing rotting bodies) but something would be off and creepy about them and their mannerisms before it's revealed to viewers that they're reanimated mockeries of the living.

* Ozai seemed to be a good father until becoming the FireLord, or close to it. That age is possibly when the Firebending insanity begins to kick in, and turn him into the unfeeling tyrant we know him to be.

[[WMG: There is some connection between combustionbending and General Old Iron]]
* This troper was reading ''[[ComicBook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheRift TheRift]]'' and couldn't help but notice that Old Iron's ThirdEye looks remarkably like the third eye tattoo combustionbenders have on their foreheads. [[spoiler: And given the appearance of combustionbending in ''Literature/TheDawnOfYangchen'', it's possible that the novel's sequel will delve deeper into its origins.]]

* Actually fire is a form a plasma, which is the fourth state of matter. Check Wiki/TheOtherWiki for plasma. As for them being able to bend each others elements (like water benders bending ice) it has to do with the fact that all benders could learn other forms of bending, but don't know it, and cases like this are on the edge of passing from one state of matter to another (or from one style to another).

A new age is coming with the finale, right? Anyone else find it strange that four chakras correspond to bending elements while others arbitrarily don't? That leaves us with Soundbending (or Aetherbending, if you'd rather go with Wiki/TheOtherWiki's element listing as opposed to the ones Pathik states), Lightbending, and Thoughtbending. These sound like the ways you'd influence someone with peaceful speaking and compromise. These are the only ways left to end conflict, as opposed to throwing earth/water/fire/air at the other side.

* Iroh may be saved from this effect, because he learnt the true art of Firebending through the dragons and Sun Warriors.

Look, we all know that this is the case, but not to the extent that people think. The Fire Nation Royal Family are said to be some of the most powerful firebenders in the world, but their corrupted form of Firebending is stemmmed in anger and hate and other negative emotions, which is a bad thing. The negative emotions that the Fire Nation seems to power itself with, is a major source of PowerCorrupts.
*Azula goes completely insane with her use of firebending, this can be attributed to the betrayal of her friends, but a source of this could be the firebending corrupting her to some extent.
