Air: Chaotic Good

the fire nation was a fascist dictatorship, saying that fire as an element is evil because of that is like saying that earth is inherently evil because of the Dai Li and Kuvira.

I think Iroh wasn't a totally evil dickwad before his son got ganked, could be wrong though

fire IS inherently evil, though. Fascist dictatorship using it is just one of symptoms.

Out of 4 classical elements, fire is the weakest. It's jealous and destructive, but easily defeated. It's a perfect tool for someone morally and physically weak. Not even in context of Avatar, it is true in every setting, and if it's otherwise it's because of shitty subversive hipster setting "authors". Any setting where fire embodiment is among the "good" elemental embodiments you can safely throw in the trash.

The elements are pretty modron-like in how they consistently react to each other and are instinctively at each others' throats for no other reason than their programming dictates it to be so.

>said user on a computer powered by a controlled fire.

Fire is progress passion and civilization.
It's the reason why the fire nation was far above the rest of the world

How is the weather that far up your own ass?

>Fire is progress passion and civilization.
Water too.
Electricity is mostly associated with Air.
Earth (Agriculture, motherfuckers).

Fire's only contribution to progress is burning some monkeys.

Like Iroh said: fire is the element of energy and drive. You're right that that makes it very dangerous when channelled in a destructive direction but there's a reason why the fire nation was the most advanced of the four nations when channelled into the arts or sciences that same powerful drive and will can be a massive force for good.

>fire is evil
This just in, Sun declared a demon. Parasol use now mandatory, consumption of sun-touched produce prohibited. The Crown is now accepting contract bids for the construction of a gigantic dome to shield the kingdom from the malignant gaze of the prime evil above.

In other news, cooked food has been outlawed and all hearths ordered dismantled. Lamps, candles, torches, and other incendiaries are subject to a mandatory buyback; deliver all such objects to your local guard post at once.

Lastly: witches plague countryside following burning-stake ban; "how are we to be rid of them?" cry hapless peasants.

>most advanced

If every single other nation doesn't count (waterbenders' impressive infrastructure, earth's magitek). Literally only thing Fire did was create smoke-belching deathtraps that god cucked every time they appeared.

Even with "muh technology" and magic-empowering comet fire was massively weaker than other three.

Fire as utility is fine. Don't exagerrate my arguments.

It's when your character goes "I SPECIALIZE IN FIIIIRE!", that's a telltale sign he's a dangerous psycho who should be isolated from other.

>shits out a modern tunnel boring machine in a pre-industrial setting
>not most advanced

It's also much smaller, and had been fighting a guerilla war for centuries.

They had airships, that's pretty impressive for a medival era world.

If Dave could shoot fire from his hands we would never have an energy problem again(the others can't do that)

Bitch, please. Fire is the heart of humanity's mastery of the world. It drove back the darkness, kept us warm, cooked our food to make us stronger. With fire we mastered metals, from copper to steel, and with that mastery we have all but conquered the world, and have even begun to spread into space.

We are not human without fire.

Fire=light

so generic good guys or heavenly angels are also always evil or else its bad huh, or what do people use fighting absolute evils like undead?

see for example of one of many intepretations of a very basic element

>Fire

>Good
I want /Water Tribe/ to leave

Red Lotus is CE or CN?

Seriously?

CN, they were chaos for the sake of chaos, since they thought chaos was inherently good. But they did go out of their way to try and help people on the way, they just showed enough lack of consideration for others to balance it out to neutral.

>Fire literally the element that got humanity out of the stone age
>The element that allowed cooking food which allowed Human brains to develop past monkey levels
>The element that is the basis for 90% of human technology
>Steam, gunpowder, mental refinement, electricity, rocketry, ect
>Evil

>fire

>used for cooking good food
>used for advancement of technology
>evil

Only a dumbass would think an element is evil.

1. The fire nation was fine for thousands of years before fascist dictators took control. There are evil People from every nation. Kuvira with Earthbending, Zaheer from the Red Lotus with Airbending, and the Tarrlok with Water bending.
The Sun Warriors are proof that Fire isn't evil

2. The character you spoke of never said fire is evil, he is just not a fan of the way things are run in the Fire Nation.

Elements are Elements. They are just there. Good and Evil depends all on the person wielding the Elements.
