Find a bright blue kite thingy

why do i see the number 7

And shove it into your chest

also leg lightning is an extension of fire

lightning is usually an extension of wind, thats strange

All bending involves manipulating energy along your chi pathways

ususally

So non-benders can hone their martial arts from studying others, but no one can learn bending they're not born with

has anyone in the series actually tried to learn other elements?

or are they just listening to authority figures blindly

It's not possible

There were people who tried to learn

Iroh is about as close as you can get

but yeah its impossible

He learned to redirect lightning from studying water benders

this bitch said they are looking at multiple resources to prove me wrong in that multiple people cant bend multiple elements

i said show me them then

are there avatar databooks?

idk, but the show itself goes into a little detail. and it never mentions anyone other than the avatar being able to bend more than one element

it says in the beginning of each episode

"ONLY the avatar, master of all four elements"

this is surprising

not only AN avatar

Even the avatar is born with the ability to bend all elements, they just need extensive training (usually) to even perform the most basic techniques

Except for the element corresponding with the nation they're born into

And as you see with aang and korra, the avatar has a lot of trouble learning how to bend an element that clashes with their personality

i'm surprised there isn't anyone with two elements

It was supposed to be the element opposite to their own

because its not possible

its not personality

well korra was fine with firebending

its clashes with their natural element

she had toruble with air

excatly

yeah I am surprised by the limits of the world that the authors made

she fucked the lore

because Roku had trouble with water

It's because bending is part of their personality

yet he does not have the personality of a normal firebender that we have seen

You can't just separate their abilities from their brains

And that was a good episode

the lore was always opposite their natural element

Thing is, korra learns airbending off a copout

but yeah avatar and the firelord was a good episode

she should not have been able to

That might not be entirely untrue dolf, but i would doubt it would be the only thing that holds an avatar back

not to mention bloodbending got fucked also

aang also ended up having trouble with firebending as well, from fear

It's fine for the sake of story

it seems like better writing to base it off of their natural element and not based off their personality to me

i think personality works fine

Since the idea is we've already seen aang master the other elements, but we've never seen anyone master airbending

thats the only reason why korra had trouble with air

Well, he learning them, didn't master until after

Which is another thing, after mastered 3 elements, she should be pretty much untouchable

korra could already bend everything but air before the white lotus ever met her

so she had no trouble with any of those

was adept at 8 by the way

can someone say

Dolfin, this is why you should just say it's dumb

mah rey suuuuuuuuue

did korra ever metal bend in her series? or has that only been done by natural earthbenders

If you argue the lore, they can just say korra is an exception, or a prodigy

i ended the argument by saying "you have to be baiting or you are autistic"

they did lmao

She tried to learn metal bending

i think she did

Yeah, in season 3 korra learned it from the sister character

ah

she didnt use it much however

stuff like metal bending and blood bending is what I would think dual element would be, so its interesting everything is just specialized single element

also Dialga

pre korra metalbending has always only been earthbenders

Toph invented it and there would have been no on inbetween to learn it

yeah i know

leg remember though

i just havent seen all of korra so i wasnt sure if she ever did it

metal bending isnt moving iron

its moving the small earth in the iron
