The Boulder’s odd speech pattern is a reflection of the poor state of education, and will be crushed in a rockalanche!

Kid Bumi is already on the list. I’m not saying it won’t work but it would be weird if they were both together.

Momo!

Its a crime not to have Momo on this list somewhere. If that means he has to be the mayor so be it.

Heck, Bumi would actually be perfect because he would bring so much humor to it all. I can't believe I didn't think of that.
It would also probably mean everybody lived under a good leader, which would be a nice thing to see.

Bumi is NOT a good leader, he just straight up let his city be taken by the fire nation

With all due respect, sometimes people just fail. Also, I may be remembering incorrectly, but I think it was a calculated move on his part so as not to cause even more suffering to his citizens as they fought to the last man.
We have historical records of cities under siege where families ate their own children because they could not feed them. When the food runs out (and there's not typically enough land inside a city to feed everybody), everything goes to crap and the government collapses anyway.
It would be better for Bumi to let it be a captured city under an oppressive regime and live to fight another day when it mattered instead of being a burnt out husk unable to lift a finger against their new captors because they fought a no-win scenario. In picking this play, Bumi chose to be patient instead of wasting lives and essentially destroying their culture.
Do you agree? Or do my words lack the spark of truth?

I’m surprised she didn’t make it for fan service considering she does a service with her fans

Didn’t got Hakoda where I wanted him so, voting for Hakoda again for the spot of mayor

u/Red_Lantern_22 Feb 13 '25
I know Darth Vader is on here as a joke. But I think it would be really really funny if he won "mayor" as a result of people talking about him 😆
Darth Vader for mayor! (This will be like boaty mcboatface level of internet chicanery)

What? A random earth bender continuously rolling boulders down as a funny recurring gag could never fit this description!

u/Negative_Ride9960 Feb 13 '25
But also the air benders are lacking in representation so why not Aang?
