What if Aang lost?
>>151894439Harem.
>>151894439He'd be dead.
>>151894439Water and earth benders die, non benders of those tribes become slaves.80 year Ozai/Azula reign of terror, then the fire nation empire collapses if their succesors are not as competent as them, probably because of spirits and the balance between elements being broken.
>>151894733Ozai was an extremely incompetent leader. His empire would've collapsed with or without Aang's help
>>151894749"Admiral Ozai came out of lightspeed too close to the system!"
>>151894768I'm serious let's just look at the factsHe lost a hundred year war where the Fire Nation had dominance its entirety in only 5 years. He never ran a Military Campaign until stealing the throne from his brother. When he finally did run military campaigns he promoted generals who would just zerg rush the enemy and got pissy about that shit strategy getting called out. He kept promoting Zhao who was a complete incompetent Buffoon who almost destroyed the fucking moon and then lost a major Military Campaign at the north pole. He wasted military and engineering resources on a drill that ultimately failed to break through the first wall of Ba Sing Sei, a feat his brother was able to complete without such a monstrosity. He ultimately relied on his daughter to overthrow the shadow government controlling the Earth Kingdom and even then was having issues managing the new territory. Ultimately his plan was to literally destroy all of his new territory's resources in fire. The dude was an absolute retard and would have been overthrown almost immediately following the war's end.
>>151894439He can't lose, he's got cockbending.
>>151894439>Damn, this bitch is CRAZY
>>151894846Excellently put
>>151894846>Man who is somewhat brilliant at courtly intrigue/palace politics sucks in economics and military mattersMany such cases.

>>151894439Thank you, OP. This image cracks me up every time.
>>151894846How did Iroh take down the outer wall to Ba Sing Se? Did he have a contingent of his finest Fire Benders form a great fireball that blasted the outer wall?
>>151895525I dont get why Ba Sing Se soldiers didnt set up quicksand in front of the wall the Drill would be breaking or just fuck up the elevation causing the drill to plummet into a pit after breaking through.
>>151895552Because "hurr durr, me throw rock, it enough".
>>151894630They wouldn't risk killing him until they could be confident they'd conquered the Water Tribes and could intercept the next Avatar, likewise for the Earth Kingdom.Best case they leave him chained and collared, fed and cleaned up after using captured Earth or Water nation civilians they know he won't harm because he's a pussy pacifist. Worst case, amputation and lobotomy.
>>151895525Canonically, I think it was a combination of siege weapons and having many, many, firebenders maintain sustained fire at the base.I dunno, maybe the stone finally softened or melted and a whole section of the wall came down?
>>151895552Because General Sung is just as incompetent as Ozai.
Y'know what I find absurd? According to some lore, the Fire Nation did actually manufacture brass cannons, approximately two or three hundred years before Aang. However, they didn't see these as viable weapons, and never pursued the technology. How? Sure, primitive hand-cannons may not have been great, but I don't think every member of your army is a Fire Bender. A Hand Cannon would've been great to have.
>>151896269Fire pope was more successful at banning arma diaboli in his universe.
>>151894439>What if Aang lost his virginity to Azula?
>>151896269Given how supremacist the Fire Nation is (in everything but sexism, weirdly) they probably frowned on nonbenders being on any equal footing with benders.
>>151896302My God you're right. They're probably just stupid enough to do that.Imagine the success the Fire Nation Navy could've had if those warships had turreted cannons. Forget needing siege weapons for Ba Sing Se, just manufacture the equivalent of the gun that killed Byzantium and you're set.
>>151896297Let's be real, we know Azula is a virgin with intact hymen. We've seen how autistic she is on Ember Island, she ain't hooking up with people.Unless... Ozai did something
>>151894439Lost what?
