I do have to say that I actually find it kind of refreshing that there's actually at least ONE freaking kid/teenager who's parents aren't dead (the parents almost every character in the entire series) or missing (Zuko's mom) or completely evil (Zuko's dad) or overprotective ass-holes (Toph's parents) or just a plain regular ass-hole (Asami's dad). Seriously, this show should kind of learn to stop relying on that trope quite so much.

That's a good point. Until you guys brought it up I didn't even realize it but yeah it's kind of overdone.

It is pretty overused. I was actually legitimately surprised to learn Korra actually had normal parents.

Don't jinx it, guys. I'm already half-expecting to see Korra learn that her parents were tragically killed off-screen by [insert evil bender here] at some point during Book 2's run, just to give her a reason to be miserable.

I don't know if its either funny or sad that somebody came up with that idea way before I did....

I would have given it a 10/10 if it was the same firebender that killed Jet's parents.

The "firebenders kill everyone's parents" joke predates you even liking this show, young one.

How do you know it wasn't.

Just this one guy, running around for well over a century involuntarily shooting fire out of his hand and screaming while accidentally burning down anyone who walks in his way.

Maybe the Cabbage guy was a fire bender after all.

Except the parents of Republic City. They were killed by a waterbender named A. Firebender.
