* RhymesOnADime: Oddly enough, as the real Bumi never does so. Given how shoddy the writing of their plays tend to be, and how much they need to compact events, the Ember Island Players probably weren't clever enough to actually create the [[GeniusBruiser complex thought puzzles and challenges that Bumi was actually capable of.]]

* MilesGloriosus: Not him, but the playwright's sources about Toph. No one is willing to admit to being beaten by a blind twelve year old girl, so they insist Toph is actually a muscle-bound gorilla of a man.

dewicking Badass Baritone


* BadassBaritone: As noted by the real Toph, his voice sounds very buff. This is what made her realize that she's been [[GenderFlip gender-flipped]], though she's ultimately amused by it.

Player Iroh is Player Zuko's doddering glutton of an uncle. He is obsessed with cake instead of [[SpotOfTea tea]], and is trying and failing to give Player Zuko cake. Player Iroh is betrayed and defeated by Player Zuko, which is uncomfortably close to the truth for Zuko.

* [[invoked]] CriticalResearchFailure: Subverted. The writers did correctly get that Toph uses another sense to compensate for blindness... They just got the details laughably wrong. The real Toph uses seismic sense, not echolocation like this play depicts.

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Player Katara is infatuated with Zuko, while the real Katara considers the thought NoYay.



* AdaptationalSkimpiness: Player Katara's wardrobe lacks the real one's warming clothes, resulting in her showing some skin due to the low neckline and leg slit (see HotterAndSexier below). The real Katara didn't start wearing skin-baring clothes until she went to the Fire Nation in Book 3.
