The "Fire Nation" guy was an earthbender...clearly putting on an act. They even got Mick Foley, a famous Pro Wrestler, to voice The Boulder. Heck, The Boulder is even a blatant a play on The Rock. This isn't going to be an "It's still real to me" situation, is it? Well obviously its a play on pro wrestling, but I dont think it really matters one way or the other lol. | ||

The 1st episode shows Korra's parents, who are water tribe people that are unrelated to Katara. It also shows that Tenzin is Aang and Katara's only son with an air family of his own. It was very clear, you just weren't paying attention. | ||

They have another son and another daughter(I believe their names were Bumi and Kya), Katara mentions them in the first episode as well. It was very clear, you... get the idea. | ||

The Avatar follows the cycle of the elements so they can't be directly related. If the previous Avatar was from the Fire Nation, then after him/her comes the Avatar from the Air Nomads, and so on. All the Avatars we've seen so far have been pretty distinctively Fire Nation, Water Tribe, etc. | ||

All the Avatars we've seen so far have been pretty distinctively Fire Nation, Water Tribe, etc. That's not what he was quoting and questioning. He was asking how he could be sure the next Avatar can never be related to the previous one. I'm not sure if this is ever explicitly said either to be honest so I'm wondering as well. Also, I don't see why you'd think they can't be directly related. A firebender and an earthbender can have children who are both firebenders and earthbenders. I believe Katara and Aang's daughter was stated to be a Waterbender, so clearly it's possible to have an offspring who is a part of the new element. The only requirement I believe is that the new Avatar is born when the old one dies, but this is also technically possible assuming that a father who is an Avatar dies shortly before their child is born. Hell, it might technically even be possible if a mother who is an Avatar dies in childbirth since it's never been delved into to that degree. It could make for some interesting stories. | ||

Tenzin is the only important one, I didn't even remember the other two, they were barely mentioned at all. Anyway what's relevant here is that Korra is the avatar, deal with it. :D ![[image loading]](http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0g6tssqMK1qm13z4o1_r1_400.gif) | ||

Right on the first part, but Tenzin isn't Katara and Aang's only son. He could be their only child that's still alive, but I'm pretty sure Katara said the names of her other children when she was talking to Korra in episode one. | ||

It's not merely a geographical difference, but also because each nation was closely connected with their respective element of bending. Thus the "cycle" doesn't refer to merely the four elements, but also the different nations each element represents, because the two are so closely tied. I haven't actually seen Korra yet so I can't really comment, but since the fifth nation Aang created is all about mixing in all four different nations, it'd be interesting to see how the development changes that particular aspect of the cycle as the cultures mix more and more. | ||

Hahahaha Witty. I bet Toph when she grew up was a total cutie. Whoever the father is was probably lucky. Or cursed. Or a mix of both. | ||
