there was a female airbender. When anng was on the giant tortus talking to his past lifes, he called on another airbender avatar, and it was a girl. Ruko was married, or atleast in the volcano flash back was in bed with an elderly women, so im assuming avatars can marry, as for monks who knows.
Theres a number of ways they could do flash backs besides the avatars. For instance an iroh like character could tell the tales of Fire Lord Zuko to a, ironically, zuko like character. Or Boomy was 100 years old, so maybe sokka will grow up to be the next boomy =p Though really I think theyll probably stay far away from the original series save maybe a cameo near the end. I kinda wonder what the problem will be this time though. It'll be hard to cause a probelm for an avatar like character to fix that would last an entire series without rehashing one of the nations distrubting a balance, and equally hard to cause a problem in that universe that an avatar wouldnt be responsible of fixing. I suppose they could add a fith nation in though that would probably be too cliche.
They might have, but they would want to know which one was the avatar in typical bad guy style. "Tell me which one is the avatar or die!" and pretty soon you run out of people to kill. Plus the majority of the airbenders were old looking, and dont have tricks like the waterbenders did to stay alive very long in prison, especially 100 years in prison. Anng somehow magically trapped himself in an ageless frozen thingy. So his fellow 10 year old buddys would be 110 in the story, or 111 by the time anng freed everyone. So the likliehood of any of them surviving prison that long is far fetched.

but no females were shown when aang was at the temple. we do know that there have to be some. but just none were seen except for the one that was a previous avatar...
and i'm pretty sure they said that avatars weren't supposed to get married. and i'm positive that monks aren't allowed to get married.
yeah, but if it's over 100 years and... sokka is already 16 or so... then he'd be around 120+ which wouldn't make much sense. though the 100 could just be a generalization. and the description said there'd be flashbacks to the original one
doubt they'd do a 5th nation either. because that'd be a different "element" and when they introduced other types- they were all a variation of one of the four
that's not what we meant. XD we were saying that it wasn't likely all the airbenders were decimated by the fire nation. they probably took prisoners. and some probably escaped and went into hiding. then those people could have descendants....

forgot all about her... lol. apparently her statue can be see in the air temples. though beyond her... don't think we saw any others. surely there'd have to be some for all the other races it was intermixed. although looking at her picture... maybe we just didn't recognize any females as female since they are kind of bald headed... xD whee... avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Air_Nomads << lol. So according to this, if accurate, all the air tribe were benders so all would be monks as their leadership was monks so they'd be monks that marry. hmm, yeah, ruko was married to Ta Min so avatars must be able to choose to get married. lol, nah, it won't be an old sokka. It'll still be boomi at 120. although avatar kyoshi lived to her 200's so... indeed, meant surely some escaped or fled and continued their culture in hiding

i guess the females are just ones with hair? like the ones giving the baby anng the apples?
220 years old and still kickin! go boomy!
I dunno..few people seemed to be able to escape fire prisons without water tribe members (katara helping out earth benders..sokka helping out suki...)..that one even said noone had escaped since it was built..I suppose they could hide though..maybe build a floating montain in the sky or something.
But..without shadow element and light element, link will only be able to complete 4 temples! hed never get the hover boots, lense of truth, light arrows, or mirror sheild! And without those, how would he be able to get to gannon to defeat him?..I mean sure..logically he could leave hyrul, get an army together and siege the pratically undefended castle..but that wouldnt be nearly as cool as summoning the element sages to make a giant rainbrow bridge for no logical reason, then randomly haveing zelda cast hyduken at gannon...
but he could make the joke "Im like a boomerang, I just keep coming back!" though theres another idea of how they could do flash backs, have the decendents of sokka and what not, be like "grandpa once told me a story of.."

i think that roku was the exception to the rule. and i still don't think monks get married. and just because you're an airbender doesn't mean you are a monk. besides if the monks did everything there would have been little girls learning along with aang. but there were only boys. i bet most of the people were nomadic, and only monks stayed at the temples to teach younger generations?
that was a special prison. it looked like the firbenders had lots of different prisions.. i mean after all suki was transfered there from somewhere else. which we don't know about. and we only know about those escapes because they were relevant to the story. i'm sure there would have been other escapes
and killing off all the airbenders would ruin the cycle of avatar... so i'm sure that something really bad would happen if all one nation is wiped out.

apparently the ones with hair are indeed females, lol. hmm, but it says their leadership was monks... but then their actual tribe name is air nomads.
yeah, I'm more figuring that many would've escaped the slaughter and hid themselves, removing their air tatoos for those that were masters.
rofl!

just because they lead doesn't mean that the whole society is that way. XD
yeah. or just grow their hair long to cover it.

perhaps, but then who's to say their definition of monk is the same?
just like aang did, all they'd have to do then is just blend in and not bend or create some hidden temple or village or set sail/fly far away to some unknown location.

because it's based on eastern cultures?
yeah. and then their could be variations of airbenders that people don't know about.. similar to the swamp benders XD

they still could have altered details like that
easily could be and would make sense so I'm betting the new one will have airbenders one way or another
