Who thought this was a good idea? This thing has to be the hugest most expensive engineering project ever devised in the Avatar world. And their plan was to just slowly inch it towards Ba Sing Se over probably several fortnights over a dessert just to poke a hole through a wall and then do what? For their troops to walk straight into a freshly earth bent punji pit?? Or just stay in the damn thing and use some guerilla tactics? Surely they don't have enough food in there for a drawn out conflict like that, or what maybe they'll cargo in supplies from across the dessert?
This has to be the stupidest most expensive idea they could have devised. Even without the Avatar they would have failed and probably even more painfully. The mechanist was 100% trolling with this one.

I was not thinking about how the fire nation technology worked. All that was on my mind was having sex with the underage characters
Seek help.
I'm serious. I was thinking about nothing else.the ability to even operate a TV remote and turn on the TV, was motivated by rape.
for me it was the cute fire nation girls at the dance party
It's even funnier considering they invent a fleet of airships that could just fly over the wall like 5 months later.
they only developed those airships after they took the one down and reversed engineered it after the attack on the Northern Air Temple. They just copied and improved upon it.
Given how easy the Dai Li were to take over its amazing the Fire Nation didn't take Ba Sing Se sooner. Also look at how easily Zuko & Iroh travelled into the city. The supposed "impregnable city" would've been conquered from within long ago realistically.
alt timeline where the avatar crew go to Ba Sing Se and instead of any of the other conflicts there's just an extended fire-nation funded terrorism campaign
Sparky boom boom Allah akbar
they had fake passports
Methinks it was just a big scary weapon for propaganda
Why did they have such a blatant penis metaphor in a kids show?
>"the engineer we imprisoned and forced to work for us cranked out the schematics for a huge 2 mile long drill, I say we use it to invade Ba Sing Se!
that's inconvenient
just have azula call me daddy once and my dick would be a suitable replacement
Its a kids show
>You know what would look really cool? Steam powered fire bending frickhuge drills.
Remember, they're dealing with Earth Benders, who at the time had no method of bending metal.
It's a fantastic idea for a siege weapon when you think about it that way.
i never denied that it is a siege weapon that could successfully bore a hole and defend against earth benders. It did exactly that. But what happens after? Such a narrow chokepoint is such a death trap. I guess it begs the question: how do you wage an invasion on earth benders to begin with when the very ground you walk on can become a weapon? Or when they can just rebuild any hole you poke in any wall
don't think about it too hard, they used metal tanks that could climb vertical slopes against that air temple
>Fighting someone who can manipulate metal
>Covers body in metal
This is the same episode Aang goes "I wish I was a metal bender"
>imprisoned and forced to work for us
FireCHADS stsrted the industrial revolution, they don't need to force anybody.
>stupidest most expensive idea they could have devised
It wss highly efficient at what it's supposed to do:
Looking cool
>post-Azulon Fire Nation
>bunch of jobbers
imagine my shock
It took Iroh over 500 days of bombardment to breach the outer wall, the drill did it in an afternoon and it would have just kept going if Aang and Katara weren't there.
It was mostly to sap their morale since the walls were supposed to be indestructible, and the fire nation already controlled like 2/3s of the world so its not like it was lacking resources
Earth Nation are chinks who would rather pretend there is no drill than fight back.
>They have this thing called a Fire Drill. They use it to drill a flaming hole in your head. And there's only one big toilet and they make you all go at the same time.
Man, this Fire Nation sounds like shit.
>Children's cartoon favours visuals over logistics
The world needs to hear about this discovery
