Well, here’s kicking off the big question of this week:<\/p>\n

CAN SOMEONE SOURCE ME THE THING THAT SAYS TOPH IS DEAD?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n


<\/strong>The Avatar Wika page for her <\/a>reads: “Toph passed away sometime before 170\u00a0<\/span>ASC<\/a>, but a statue now stands in her honor at Republic City’s\u00a0<\/span>police headquarters<\/a>.<\/span>[7]<\/a>”<\/sup><\/p>\n

But that little 7 that is supposed to link to the source leads to an interview with Andrea Romano<\/a>, voice casting director, who only says a few lines about Korra, one of them being<\/p>\n

Q: Will Aang in any way be in the series?<\/strong><\/p>\n

ANDREA ROMANO:<\/strong>\u00a0I don\u2019t know how much of the series I\u2019m allowed to tell you, but that whole generation has died. It\u2019s the next generation. So it\u2019s really cool. It\u2019s the same producers. It\u2019s the same brilliant attention to detail and I\u2019m very excited. Right now we are just making twelve of them and we\u2019ll see what happens.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/div>\n
That interview was published August 2nd 2010 when they were only 3 episodes into creating the series and it’s the only source we have for Toph being dead?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So, I went back to the Comic Con transcript and there’s only this mention of Toph in the past tense from Michael:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Michael:<\/em>\u00a0So Toph, as you know, was a metal bender. She kind of like, travelled the world, started teaching people, earth benders, how to harness this ability. It\u2019s still kind of a rare thing. Not every earth bender does metal bending but, we have these kind of, it\u2019s the elites, kind of swat team of Republic City.“<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
A combo of the Comic Con panel and allusions to Toph’s activities in The Promise (Part One) was where Devindra was pulling from when he said Toph was\u00a0traveling\u00a0the world teaching metal bending in Episode 3 of the podcast<\/a> (which is finally ready for you on iTunes<\/a> by the way), but I can’t find anywhere that says Toph is actually dead.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Bring me official quotes of Toph’s dead-ness! Do they exist?<\/div>\n
