>>113033 >Normally, being stuck in a metal suit while facing guys who throw fire would simply lead to hot metal and painful burning of the person inside as the metal absorbs and retains the heat.
I remember we had a discussion about this here sometime after the finale aired. That part always bugged me, too. But your speculation here
>But this is metal from a Fire Nation ship. It stands to reason that such metal would be strongly heat-resistant, lest a stray blast of fire cause the wrong piece of metalwork to overheat and cause damage.
is now my head-canon. Thank you. I think we also discussed that maybe Toph could control the temperature of the metal to some degree (unlikely) or that the fire blasts didn't have time to heat the metal much because they were just quick, short bursts (a little more likely), but your theory is better.
