Do we need another Mai thread, or will the old one be moved from spoilers? Just curious...

I didn't like her AT ALL. She just seemed so...eugh. Whiny and selfish and pessimistic ('emo,' If I wanted to be politically correct) and wanting other people to feel sorry for her. The way she talked to her mom made me feel like- >: O I think that's really disrespectful, but that's just me. Eww. I don't don't don't like 'er. She was a good fighter though ... but, the knifey dart things were kind of morbid, if you ask me. Mai = No Go. She wasn't cool. I know that a lot of people do like her. And I respect that. But still. Hmm....

Hmm.... I definetly enjoy her a great deal, and do see your view, but how was she rude to her mom? She gave her a tissue when she was weeping, offered her dad Flaming Fire Flakes- I actually didn't see her interact with her parents as much. She told her mom the place was boring, but that didn't disrespect her. I'm just curious if I missed something, but how was she-you know-rude as far as her mom goes?

Isn't the spelling Mei??? Mai is pronounced "My" and Mei is pronounced "May". Heh... sorry, its just m nitpickyness. XD
Anyway, she's kind of freaky. Her nails creep me out... but maybe that's because I got attacked by some.

Her nails creep me out... but maybe that's because I got attacked by some. It IS Mei. Whoever decided to spell her name "Mai" is a complete moron. Seriously. "Mai" is pronounced like "AYE"...so either the person who decided to spell her name like that is a moron, or the creators don't know how to pronouce "Mai". Besides, "Mei" makes more sense. "Mai" means to bribe in Chinese. "Mei" means be beautiful. Get it? It just really ticked me off that someone spelt her name like that because she's such an awesome character. Anyway, yes I thought she was awesome. She's so cool, and her pessimistic personality will really contrast against Ty Lee's personality. I think Mei's pretty too ^^

Hmm.... I'm with you. I really don't like her character, and it's really annoying how little it seems she cares for her baby brother. Mei: Whatever. The deal's off.

I saw a striking resemblance of Mei and Kikyo (Inuyasha). They looked almost alike by hair and face. Inuyasha fans will only get this.

Then the creators are wrong, because unless if they pronounced it "My" it'd be okay, but since they didn't, it should be spelt "Mei".
Unless if there was a typo in the credits ^_^ Which is very rare, but happens.

I think Mei's pretty too ^^ The pronunciation of "Mai" is funny. It depends on the accent though. It can double as "to buy something" or "no". XDD I honestly think its Mei though. That's how Chinese names should be spelled if it were to be pronounced as "May".

Hmm.... I definetly enjoy her a great deal, and do see your view, but how was she rude to her mom? She gave her a tissue when she was weeping, offered her dad Flaming Fire Flakes- I actually didn't see her interact with her parents as much. She told her mom the place was boring, but that didn't disrespect her. I'm just curious if I missed something, but how was she-you know-rude as far as her mom goes? It was all in the body language for me. She had overdramatic gesticulations and that little head tilt when she handed her mother the tissue. Like it was a big burden on her to give it to her weeping mom. Then when she offered her father the Fire Flakes she did it in a kind of sarcastic, almost mocking way. I did NOT groove to that. Then when she was speaking to her mom, she just kept whining and whining about how she just hated it here and how it was just so boring and how she didn't want to be there, and to the point where her mother had to scold her. When she told Azula "I hope you came here to kill me." or something like that, I saw that as another sign of disrespect to her parents. They might not've been there, but it didn't change what she said. But maybe she was just being overdramatic or just saying that jokingly. That one's kind of hard. But Lastly, when she showed no (outward) sign of distress when her brother had gone missing, that sent off a warning bell in my head. I saw that as a little bit sick, personally. (although that just might be because I am a Capricorn - and I'd be the first person to take the bullet for anyone in my family. I'm just very family-oriented... very, very family oriented [there are 10 of us ]. So no wonder It didn't strike a chord with me). But, again, I really, really should stop this habit of making judgements before I have all the facts. I'll just wait a little longer before I give my final answer about how I feel about her... But as of now, that is my opinion. I'd really like to hear yours, Breathing - what made you like her? Sorry for taking so long to reply! By the way - to figure out this whole May/Mai/Mey/Mei spelling mystery, here's an idea... look in the ending credits? ;D
