  1. Remind me not to play sports with you.

     

    I'd say the Toa Nuva. Elementally they're all matched up, assuming Aang can handle multiple opponents at once. But the Nuva also have their Kanohi Nuva, so they can share those six powers amongst themselves, and I think that would tip the balance. (Even more so if they're playing underwater and we can finally take the Kaukau into account.)

  2. I remember proactively not being impressed by it. I think I only read the first book. It was good for a teenage writer, I'll say that much. (Not the best... I was reading teenage novels on BZP at about the same time and some of them were excellent.) In particular, I seem to remember a few logic inconsistencies that popped up in the story. I would hope his writing improved as he got more experienced...

  3. A lot of the Toa Masters were good, like Tahu and Gali. I personally liked Pohatu, although he was a bit simpler than the others.

     

    I generally didn't like the 2016 characters. Umarak was the best Toa-sized set, but I liked the fun designs of the creatures, particularly Akida and Uxar.

     

    Outside of being parts packs, the second wave villains of each year were lame.

  4. For the Avatar - Last Airbender example... there were some comics that explored the Fire Nation territories in the Earth Natation after the war ended, in that the Earth Nation wanted them gone but the residents felt disconnected from the home-land fire nation and didn't want to leave... and eventually that's why Republic City was founded, as kind of a compromise. It does explore some of their issues with identity, although not necessarily by race.

     

    I think I've also seen some anime that kind of touch on the topic... although the characters are usually part elf or part demon or something, so again not quite race. I didn't even think of the Balto one, but that's a pretty good example. Can't think of any other good western media examples. :mellow:
