Who is in the ATLA intro?
The sequence opens by showcasing the four elemental bending styles: waterbending, earthbending, firebending, and airbending, performed by Pakku, an unknown earthbender, Azula, and an Air Nomad, respectively.
Why is Azula in the opening?
It makes sense of her to represent the fire element in the opening credits, as not only is she talented with the element, but Azula also embodies the spirit of the Fire Nation during the events of The Last Airbender.
Who is the Earthbender in the opening?
The character of Toph Bei Fong was originally written as a male, specifically a 16 year old teenage boy. The earthbender in the intro was Toph’s original design. The character was initially designed to be a foil to Sokka, with Toph being a muscly jock to Sokka’s nerdy personality.
Who is the Boulder based off of?
The Boulder was inspired by real life pro wrestler Dwayne Johnson, also known as “The Rock”, who, like The Boulder, refers to himself in the third person when he speaks.
Is Sud related to Toph?
2 She’s The Reincarnation Of Sud In an interesting theory that stems from Toph’s in-universe similarities to Sud and the established notion that, because “some friendships are so strong, they can even transcend lifetimes,” it makes sense for Toph to be the reincarnation of Sud.
Who is Toph based off of?
Toph Beifong, an Earthbender as well as a Metalbender, has a fighting style all her own. Toph’s movements are based on those found in Chu Gar, a branch of Southern Praying Mantis kung fu. Developed during the 17th century, the aggressive fighting style was supposedly created by blind warriors.
Why is Ozai’s fire not blue?
Even the power-hungry Ozai never displayed a level of sadism equal to Azula. It’s possible that Azula’s cruelty and hatred caused her flames to turn blue. She funneled all her negative emotions into her firebending, causing it to change colors. It’s been shown that Azula’s firebending wasn’t always blue.
