You know what's really weird? That people consider fire an element. There. A WTF everyday for me.

Fire is material, though. Flames are (essentially) glowing gases. Incidentally, fire is also affected by gravity; a candle flame in near-zero gravity tends to be nearly spherical and blue, rather than tapered and yellowish.

Fire isn't ionized, so it also is not equivalent to plasma.

At first I was going to go on a diatribe about how people shouldn't care about who sleeps with who, but then I read the article. Yeah, that's pretty bad, if the accusations are true.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Pretty sure it's just fire.
Nah, they do lightning too, so there's more going on than just fire.

Lava or nuclear stuff sounds like it'd be cross-bending of some sort, so it might be an avatar only thing, or somehow take different benders working in concert.

Well, but it's after EIGHT YEARS of going along with it. Something doesn't pass the smell test, and I'm not talking about the ham steak.
Also, brings a whole new meaning to "getting it sunny side up".

That creates new products.  Its plasma, a fourth phase of matter.  It is as visible as air, and so long as the conditions are maintained as constant.

I can dig the classical elements as a fantasy staple. You got solids, liquids, gases and energy!

Burning is a reaction. Fire (or more precisely 'on fire') is a description of the state of matter which is burning. 'Fire' is only a verb in the context of lighting something on fire (or discharging a ranged weapon); you set something on fire by firing it. You do not set something on fire by fire it.

RE: classical elements: Duh. We also don't think that the universe is divide into heavenly spheres with the stars and planets being little dots affixed to them.

It doesn't create anything, and plasma is superheated matter. Fire is not necessary. :|
