* For ''Film/TheLastAirbender'', Creator/MNightShyamalan changes a significant aspect of Firebending so that it aligned better with the other bending arts. In [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender the show]], Firebenders can create their own fire, but for the movie, they are now required to have an external fire ''source'' to manipulate. As he said, [[ElementalBaggage Katara needs a bag of water and Toph needs to be touching the earth, so why don't firebenders need fire]]? In the series, Iroh explains that this source is the bender's own body heat. In the film, it's suggested that creating your own fire is a skill lost over the ages, and that Iroh is one of the few who have mastered that element of firebending and is subtly teaching Zuko to do the same.
