Oh please Is me telling you toph is alive gonna stop you from watching or enjoying the show.

Plus me saying someone is alive is a general statement

A spoiler is a spoiler, respect that about others.

Its not even really a spoiler tho especially if its insinuated in the trailer

It was insinuated in the trailer? Wasn't it the leaked episodes?

If you watch the episodes youll see it. I dont wanna "spoil" anything else

We have spoiler tags y'know.

I think you guys might be throwing mako under the bus a little early. He doesn't have the talent or skill Zuko does, but he does have lightning. Lightning redirection was still a new and unperfected technique. Little bit of an edge to mako.

Indeed. But Mako's lightning is not even close to Ozai's.

he did use it while being blood bended. Lightning in atla is a lot bigger and messier, mako has been shown to whip it out alot faster than azula and ozai. in general he's a far weaker bender than most of the big names from the previous series, but his lightning is also alot more refined. if not stronger.

Zuko redirected ozai's lightning and azula's those two bender have shown far more skill and power than mako ever has.

azula's lightning almost killed him. he's still unpracticed in that technique while mako does it for a living. not saying mako is more skilled, just that lightning acts as a good equalizer.

He probably would've redirected it if she didn't aim it at Katara and he had to jump in front of it to save her ass.

point is, his record is one good redirect and one bad redirect. lightning is a wild card in atla but is common in lok. that could give mako the edge he needs.

There's no doubt that Zuko would have both perfectly redirected Azula's lightning and even won the battle with it, and I believe Azula herself knew this which is why she targeted Katara for iirc the first time in the fight.

Why does being refined mean it's stronger? As said Zuko could counter two top tier non-Avatar State characters, he'd have no trouble with Mako's.

I don't think ozai's and azula's lightning is that much stronger. Maybe stronger, but it's like the boulder vs toph. Toph just had a more natural refined technique. Zuko is obviously the more powerful bender, but mako is definitely the better lightning bender.

Toph is still stronger than the boulder.

But even assuming Mako's a little weaker but a little more skilled.. what does that mean in terms of Zuko still having what it takes?

Remember that Ozai was both powerful and swift in usage, which meant nothing to Zuko.

Mako may have lightning, but Zuko is able to redirect, has greater combat skills and firebending skills.
