I think the comet added excitement and was a crucial part of the series but what if there was no comet? In a way, I kind of wish there hadn't been a comet or that it came later than a year, then the series could have been longer... *sad violin music*

On the world's smallest violin? And though I, too, wish the series had gone on longer, the Avatar crew simply wouldn't have their heart in it if they were somehow forced by us to continue on. Then the episodes would have gotten really crappy. Maybe they'll have an epilogue though, I'm not sure.

If there were no comet.
Avatar never would have been the same.
Aang wouldn't have fought Ozai, because his people wouldn't have to worry about training him faster to stop an oncoming war.

There is also the fact that if there was no comet the firebenders would never have had the power to destroy the air nomad civilization. Had the comet never existed then the air benders would most likely been alive and the war would have been much, much shorter than 100 years

^^ I dont know that the had to destroy the Air Nomads. As Aang pointed out, they had no standing army. All they had to do was capture the Avatar who would have been born around the time Roku died. In such endevours, full out invasions are cumbersome and, even if successful, probably nothing you would want recorded for posterity. Think of the biblical stories of the Pharoah ordering the killing all the jewish babies when Moses was born or Harrod's order for the same when Jesus was born.

^Capture can always result in rescue. The other three nations know how important the Avatar is and without him balance may be gone (as ti was).
Although their invasion force probably did take a toll on the Fire Nation, keep in mind of their technological development and the benefit of the Comet Energy.
All they FN had to do was destroy the Avatar and Sozin thought the only way was to eradicate every single Air Nomad.

^^ Once the had captured the Avatar, the other nations would essentially have to attack the Fire Nation and I just dont see that happening without a direct attack from the Firenation. I think Sozin made a terrible mistake in waiting for the comet before looking to capture the Avatar. He could have carried out a stealthy attack instead of a full out invasion that was bound to attract attention. In the end, it seems to me from the unburied remains of the Fire Nation soldiers at the Southern Air Temple that there must have been something secretive about the whole affair even with the comet's arrival.

I think the actual effect of the comet in the finale movie was very little. The O.W.L. handled Ba Sing Se fairly easily against the fire bending troops. Aang matched Ozai's power, especially since aang too could fire bend. And zuko vs azula was evenly matched because their both firebenders. So I think the comet was kinda stupid, only real drama it added was Ozai's plan to burn down Ba Sing Se.

^^ I dont think the O.W.L could have taken Ba Sing Se without the comet. They had two firebending masters who knew how to really harness the comet's power against a group of grunts. Considering that Ozai was planning to burn the entire earth kingdom to the ground, I think he would have ordered all the really good firebending troops to be on his fleet for the invasion. Aang is the Avatar so he didnt have to rely just on fire though clearly it didnt hurt. Azula was more than just a few plums short of a fruit pie by the time of the Agni Kai which may have evened out the battle a bit though I admit that Zuko had improved immensely.

i am glad there was a comet because that was really the main reason aang had to kill the fire lord.

well if there was no comet, there would be no point of making the avatar last airbender series. cuz then the fire nation would have never been able to beat the fire nomads, the nomads wouldnt have been suspicious and told aang he's the avatar and aang would have never even run away. so no ice berg no adventure no nothing without the comet. and the comet wasnt stupid, it was the reason why there is no more air nomads and could have been the reason for no earth benders......

If there hadn't been a comet, just tweak it so that the reason you've got to defeat Ozai by summer's end is because he's already so close to victory in the war. After all, at the beginning of the finale, Aang was content to just sit around on his butt until the comet passed. ;x
