So what are your top Mai moments to you all? Aside from the obvious Boiling Rock moments, I'm quite fond of Mai's role in "The Drill" and "The Beach". When she said "Azula can shoot all the lightning she wants at me" and "we lost" in the drill was the first time I really liked her. I know her backstory in The Beach wasn't a "aww, that dear, poor child!" kind of thing but the way her voice got smaller and smaller as she was telling it did make me feel sorry for her. And the things she said to Zuko there were so what he needed to hear.

Ha, ha. Mai doesn't mollycoddle Zuko. She gives him hell when he needs it. I like that.
The way she said "we lost" in The Drill was so deadpan and dry. She can be quite funny.

Like when there appears to be a deadly epidemic sweeping through their town and her reaction is, "Fireflakes, Dad?" That was my favorite line of hers before "You miscalculated."

Here's a question for Mai fans. Going by the final tea shop scene, we can assume that Mai has been accepted by the gaang(hopefully not just out of deference to Zuko). Who do you see Mai getting along with best? My vote would probably be Toph or maybe Suki. Toph is pretty straightforward like Mai and neither of them take any crap. Suki doesn't really take any crap either.

Toph -- she and Mai seem to have more in common every time I think of one of them.

My vote goes to Katara. Their boyfriends are total BFFs so they are probably going to spend quite a bit of time around each other. Mai could teach Katara how to be funny, Katara could teach Mai what you do with a true friend, and they could tease Zuko together. XD Though, really, Toph and Mai are the most similar.

I doubt she'll ever be as close to them as they are to each other...she didn't go through all the life-threatening bonding experiences with them and she probably only goes because Zuko wants to...but I'd go with Suki...she let Ty Lee join the Kyoshi Warriors so she's not holding a grudge...and they have more in common...non-benders who can still kick butt.

^ And they could vent to each other whenever one of their boyfriends does something stupid and wonder why they constantly with them. Video I uploaded last night. Maiko but mostly for Mai, whose haters are still baffled why Zuko would want a girl like her: www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1L5Q26QQh8

Sorry...I can't look at it...not because I don't care for the subject matter (which we all know I don't ) but because I can't see it! Two days ago everything was fine, now if I go to any site with any sort of Flash I can't see it...I get a little message telling me to download the newest version of Flash and when I go to do that I get another message telling me the page is unavailable! It's bloody annoying!

Well, it will definitely take Mai a while to get close to the gaang and them to her. And she will probably nevr have that intense bonding that the rest of the gaang had. Suki, never had that much time with the gaang either.
But I think she can become friends with all of them eventually, forming tighter bonds with some. She needs to let down her guard a bit, though and open up.

i dont see mai doing that. she will be freinds with the gang of course but she is defintly not the buddy buddy type. i also think she might change up a bit thoght from influence around her. she is no longer tied to her moms command of "behave or eals" she is more free than before and she might take advanteg of that.

I never liked Mai, mostly because I'm a hardcore Zutarian, but it's been a year and a half since Avatar ended, so I've come to appreciate her a bit more.
It seems like she's putting on an act a lot of the time. Underneath her mask, she could actually be pleasant, but she's in one of those teenage phases. Hopefully being with the gAang will get her out of it. Or Zuko will realize that he's madly in love with Katara and Mai will leave the group in anger. :-P
