Trivia about ''[[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]'' includes:
== Trivia Tropes ==
* [[The Abridged Series]]: The Ember Island Players is a sort of meta-example. And for an outside example we have [[Gan Xingba]]'s [[Avatar: The Abridged Series]].
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]:
Line 64 ⟶ 67:
** [[Word of God]] says that the screechy actor who played her in the play is a [[Flanderized]] version of her original character design. Aspects of her original male visual design and characterization were later incorporated into [[The Legend of Korra|Bolin]].
== Non-Trope Trivia ==
* Zuko's great-grandfather is {{spoiler|Avatar Roku -- therefore, via [[Reincarnation]], Aang}}... sorta. Technically.
** Did we mention Zuko's father is voiced by [[Mark Hamill]]? Now tropes are [[In the Blood]]?!
* Waterbending is the only bending skill that was not learned from an animal. Waterbenders are said to have learned from the moon; in contrast, earthbenders learned from the badger-moles, airbenders learned from the sky bison, and firebenders learned from the dragons. The entire concept is awfully similar to animal-based martial arts in [[Real Life]], made famous by Hongkong martial arts movies like [[Jackie Chan]]'s ''Snake in the Eagle's Shadow'' or ''Tiger and Crane Styles'' (best known for being edited into ''[[Kung Pow! Enter the Fist]]''.)
* As mentioned on the main page, the bending styles themselves are based on actual Chinese martial arts (Waterbending is Tai Chi, Earthbending is Hung Gar, Firebending is Northern Shaolin Kung Fu, Airbending is Ba Gua). Exceptions not covered are:
** Toph's own Earthbending style, taught directly by the badger-moles, is actually based on Southern Mantis style
Line 80 ⟶ 84:
** Some argue that the airbender in the opening is [[Cool Old Guy|Monk Gyatso]]. Others claim it's an older Aang (a theory largely debunked by the confirmed older Aang in the opening to ''[[Western Animaton/The Legend Of Korra|The Legend Of Korra]]'', who looks much different), and still others suggest it might be one of the unamed monks from "The Storm".
