It’s fun, upon rewatching, to realize that Bumi was trying to train Aang for the final battle. “Typical Airbender...” and “Sooner or later, you’re going to have to strike back” are great foreshadowing statements. What a writing team!

[@ameyakelkar8314]

Also, when Bumi hoped Aang would think like a mad genius to defeat Ozai, he wasn't far off from predicting all the end battles of the events during Sozin's Comet. Think about it: Katara: Mad for keeping Azula alive, genius move freezing herself and Azula and then chaining her hands to a grate. Sokka, Toph and Suki: Mad for treating airships as battering rams, genius because it worked perfectly! [Also a little sad as High Space Sword was gone. :( ] Zuko: Mad for taking the lightning strike straight to his heart, genius for having the presence of mind to hit the ground and then release it safely. Aang: Mad for keeping Ozai alive, genius because he took Ozai's Firebending away.

[@davidhuerta5890]

@@ameyakelkar8314 I agree with all of that except the taking the firebending away, that was definitely just a deus ex machina and honestly was the weakest part of this great series

[@MisterK9739]

David Huerta That wasn't a deus ex machina, as the lion turtle told him that it's possible. It was definitely foreshadowed, and it has been used before, by said Lion Turtle, on Aang himself.

[@davidhuerta5890]

Mister K i consider it a deus ex machina because it wasn’t previously mentioned in the story(even at the beginning of book 3 would’ve been sufficient time) but mentioning it once an episode before the finale is not proper foreshadowing for such a pivotal and integral plot device

5:25 I never noticed til now that when he opens his eyes, he’s holding back tears at the realization that his old friend is still alive. And remember, this was right after the episode where Aang went to the Southern Air Temple and learned that the Air Nomads had been wiped out. He had to have been at his lowest point. He'd been gone a century, and it seemed like everyone he ever knew was dead. And then, Aang finds Bumi again. And in that moment, Aang realized that there was at least one person, one piece of his past not lost. The feeling he must have felt would have been indescribable.

When he caught Aang in his city he had to be overjoyed to see his friend alive. Yet he reserved his emotions because he felt a duty to impart his wisdom on the Avatar. He probably came up with the whole plan in the first 30 seconds of meeting Aang, so indeed he is a genius too

[@theaviator1152]

This raises some really interesting thoughts: Bumi must have heard about what happened at the Air Temples and been pretty sad. He must have thought Aang was killed and likely believed that all the way up to the events of The Boy in the Iceberg, or even until he met Aang face to face (‘cause even when he found out the Avatar had returned, it would still be super unlikely that it would be Aang). He probably developed his own theories as to where the Avatar was. Because the Fire Nation believed that they had successfully wiped out all of the airbenders, the next Avatar in the cycle would be a waterbender (which ended up being Korra). That is why the Water Tribe raids happened, for 60 years to no avail. Naturally the Fire Nation was confused, because they thought all possible airbending Avatars were dead and they never found any waterbending Avatar. Zuko thought that an airbender somehow survived and was really old (which now that I think about it, doesn’t make sense-wouldn’t it be more logical to assume the Avatar was now an earthbender? Even a waterbending Avatar would have been very, very old-if I were him, I would have thought it was Gran-Gran when I saw her.) Anyway, I wonder if Bumi himself ever went to look for the Avatar? He sure had a lot of time to think about it. He was also the only earthbender in The Order of the White Lotus-which was mainly people the perfect age to be possible Avatars. I don’t know. There are so many interesting things to think about with this show, that’s what’s so great about it-everything actually goes really deep and is super intricate.

That's why zuko shocked why the avatar is still a child. And to think if the avatar is from earth kingdom,the fire nation are in war in earth kingdom directly because they the only one who still stand against the fire nation. If the avatar is from earth kingdom,he probably would appear defend his nation from fire kingdom attack.

no he doesn't? he starts by asking the bad guy to please be good, then he gets into a very straightforward bending battle mostly using "typical airbender tactics", and then he becomes a near mindless spirit of wrath in the avatar state and lays down a beating through raw power. Where's the genius? I don't even see average intelligence.

[@cedrickbeal6108]

One of my favorite moments in the series. It tough to compare both Bumi and Toph for me. Toph ran away from home at the age of six and ended up losing her way in a cave until being discovered by badger moles, where she than began her training in earth bending with them. Aside from having acute hearing and the ability to feel others emotions, she picked up on the training pretty quickly. Not too sure of Bumi's back story, but in terms of strength it's difficult to say. But he was able to single handedly take down a group of fire nation soldiers, in addition to removing their machine industry factories to reclaim his kingdom.

[@mahandraradityaputra338]

4:38 someone coughs in the background after "rocky"

[@MadameTamma]

Interesting touch. Aang has a slight advantage over everyone he faces in the show because no one has been trained to fight against air bending techniques for generations. I’m sure there used to be techniques and ‘how tos’ when it came to what you should do when you face off against an air bender in battle, but they’re no longer being taught. Bumi knew exactly what to do against Aang. He’s probably the only Earth bender left who knows how to fight against an opponent that can fly.

[@heterosapiens_sapiens]

Or anyone, really who knows, not just earthbenders... I guess Pathik would also know, since he grew up with the airbenders, but then again, he's really not a fighter at all
