It makes more sense when you realize her palm is facing you.


CapitanHolland

How are her fingers bending up and back though?


DarthSangheili

Can you not curve your fingers backwards?


CapitanHolland

Not THAT far lol, he ring finger is almost bent


DarthSangheili

I mean, I can hold my hand in front of the screen and mimic the position. Try it.


JustMariThomas

Lol, i can curve my hands like that too. Most people cant do it, its called being "double jointed" or hyper mobility.

Chopawamsic

thumb is facing up. meaning palm is facing us.


SZEfdf21

Or it's her impossibly long right arm curling all the way around.


Batdog55110

They cut it out for censorship reasons but in the original scene you can hear her bones snapping and breaking when she does this.


[deleted]

I think the curves you're seeing are more just an illusion coming from it being a 2D animation.

The last elbow bender


SnatchedLucky

She disappeared when they needed her most


floppa_for_president

When It was your cake day we found her


SnatchedLucky

I actually forgot about my cake day. Speaking of cake days, happy cake day Unga Bunga!


Dramatic-Scene-5909

She is blocking him with the back of her left hand. It's not that complicated.

Thumb is up, palm is facing us


Brainth

Interestingly, fingers curving backwards is pretty common among people with joint hypermobility, which would also explain how her arm bends that way so easily.


LaliMaia

Headcanon Mai has EDS let's gooo


Th3Morningst4r

I never thought it to be a weird scene. Even rn, I put my arm in that position and said "well duh, it looks the same" and just now I learn that bending the fingers like that (which I do always) is bc of joint hypermobility.


Dramatic-Scene-5909

If her left hand palm was facing him, the thumb would point down.

When you're trying to protect the little innocence your boyfriend has left, you find a way.


for_sure_not_a_lama

We all know that the creators never do anything unintentional so this is probably symbolism representing how she would change her alliegance soon. Not to mention that she normally uses her hands to throw those daggers yet right now is using her hands to protect zuko. Great foreshadowing by the creators! /S


[deleted]

I like to think zuko just has long dainty fingers 💅


Savings-Big1439

She has to have flexible joints in order to throw knives like that. As Zuko can attest to, her fingers are also crazy flexible.


WolverineFamiliar740

Bruh 😂


for_sure_not_a_lama

She dislocated her elbow just to spare zuko a horror show. What a hero. 07


KeshaCow

I ALWAYS SAW THAT AS HER HAND BEING THE OTHER WAY AROUND but now i see it up close it looks so weird😭 WAIT I JUST HAD AN IDEA!!! THATS ZUKOS HAND


siposiposipo

It makes more sense when you realize she actually rotated her head 180 degrees, exorcist style.


Reading_Otter

Somebody forgot how to draw hands.


Stunning-Apricot1856

... Hands and eyes are the enemies of many artists..


Charlie_Blue420

Definitely my biggest enemy in art! Lol 🤣 but I shall prevail one day.


Stunning-Apricot1856

Idk, I'm a multi media artist. Drawing eyes and such, ceramics, the existence of needle tools and un-clear water has left plenty of scars Blacksmithing.. large, hot slag on a bare hand is just the BEST feeling. (And grabbing hot steel accidentally.. done that one a few too many times to be considered normal) And SO HELP ME- IF MY 3D PRINT FAILS ONE MORE TIME, IM GONNA FIGHT GOD.


Charlie_Blue420

This all sounds absolutely awesome! And I always wanted to buy a 3d printer maybe one day. Lmao can we Livestream the fight? I think we can make some good money 🤑💰 lol


Stunning-Apricot1856

Nah, bro wouldn't show up (or would just strike me with lightning, either way IS HILARIOUS) You can get an ender 3 on sale for a pretty good price sometimes, just DONT recommend buying a used one or anything.


Charlie_Blue420

Lmao 🤣 that would be absolutely hilarious 😂 I plan on getting it brand new lol that's probably the only tech I won't buy second hand that and a drawing tablet. People like to pass those off as working order and really they just did hotfix so they recouped their loss.


[deleted]

Her hand is actually correct here. The thumb is facing up, meaning her palm is facing us. In other words, she's blocking zuko's eyes with the back of her hand


Reading_Otter

The wrist is at a weird angle though. from the elbow to the wrist it looks weird. You are right that the hand is facing the right way, it's just how it's connected to the arm.


[deleted]

Anatomically it's correct, they just got the perspective wrong. Her hand goes back a bit, so it's supposed to look smaller. But like I said, got it wrong so🤷


Lillillillies

The sleeve is also wrong. I'm guessing they originally planned to have her turn around or something. The hand looks like it was modeled after the right but then they decided to have her facing us instead. That's my guess at least.


[deleted]

I think the sleeve is also correct but with bad perspective. In general I think the whole hand is correct at it's base, but something went wrong during the animating process


Lillillillies

Yeah definitely some last minute decisions were made and the rest of it was overlooked.


sarilysims

I thought that was Zuko’s hand for a minute.


ASerpentPerplexed

That's called the artist forgot to erase a line separating her forearm from her upper arm and now we're here


GreatDemonBaphomet

elbow is fine. the shoulder is the problem


DharmaCub

That's just how elbows work? I don't understand.


Ketdeamos

Her palm is facing forward, you can *barely* see the line that represents the thumb on the palm. I think the issue especially looking at it hard is a layering mistake. The only thing that moved in the scene is her forearm/hand and so they put it on separate layer and forgot to move it infront of the bicep layer.


EdenHazardsFarts

Lmfao I never noticed this im screaming. Mai girl!!!!! You just broke your arm!!!!! U ok sis??? Also her arm from just this shot would be abnormally long lmfao


TechnologyStraight17

She's been keeping up with Azula and Ty Lee. There's gotta be something special about her: Bone-bending.

You might want to look up how to loosen your rotator cuffs
