not only AN avatar

Gent May 23, 2020 10:30 PM general

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

Gent May 23, 2020 10:31 PM general

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

Phijkchu_Dialga May 23, 2020 10:31 PM general

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

legorhin May 23, 2020 10:31 PM general

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

Gent May 23, 2020 10:31 PM general

It was supposed to be the element opposite to their own

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:31 PM general

because its not possible

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:32 PM general

its not personality

Phijkchu_Dialga May 23, 2020 10:32 PM general

well korra was fine with firebending

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:32 PM general

its clashes with their natural element

Phijkchu_Dialga May 23, 2020 10:32 PM general

she had toruble with air

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:32 PM general

excatly

legorhin May 23, 2020 10:32 PM general

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

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:32 PM general

she fucked the lore

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:32 PM general

because Roku had trouble with water

Gent May 23, 2020 10:32 PM general

It's because bending is part of their personality

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:32 PM general

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

Gent May 23, 2020 10:32 PM general

You can't just separate their abilities from their brains

Phijkchu_Dialga May 23, 2020 10:32 PM general

i went with personality because aang had trouble standing his ground

Gent May 23, 2020 10:33 PM general

And that was a good episode

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:33 PM general

the lore was always opposite their natural element

Gent May 23, 2020 10:33 PM general

Thing is, korra learns airbending off a copout

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:33 PM general

but yeah avatar and the firelord was a good episode

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:33 PM general

she should not have been able to

Phijkchu_Dialga May 23, 2020 10:33 PM general

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

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:33 PM general

not to mention bloodbending got fucked also

Phijkchu_Dialga May 23, 2020 10:34 PM general

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

Gent May 23, 2020 10:34 PM general

It's fine for the sake of story

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:34 PM general

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

Phijkchu_Dialga May 23, 2020 10:34 PM general

i think personality works fine

Gent May 23, 2020 10:34 PM general

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

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:35 PM general

thats the only reason why korra had trouble with air

Gent May 23, 2020 10:35 PM general

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

Gent May 23, 2020 10:35 PM general

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

Phijkchu_Dialga May 23, 2020 10:35 PM general

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

Phijkchu_Dialga May 23, 2020 10:35 PM general

so she had no trouble with any of those

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:36 PM general

was adept at 8 by the way

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:37 PM general

can someone say

Gent May 23, 2020 10:37 PM general

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

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:37 PM general

mah rey suuuuuuuuue

Phijkchu_Dialga May 23, 2020 10:37 PM general

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

Gent May 23, 2020 10:37 PM general

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

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:37 PM general

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

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:37 PM general

they did lmao

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:37 PM general

She tried to learn metal bending

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:37 PM general

i think she did

Gent May 23, 2020 10:37 PM general

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

Phijkchu_Dialga May 23, 2020 10:37 PM general

ah

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:37 PM general

she didnt use it much however

Gent May 23, 2020 10:37 PM general

NEVER CAME INTO PLAY

legorhin May 23, 2020 10:38 PM general

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

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:38 PM general

also Dialga

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:38 PM general

pre korra metalbending has always only been earthbenders

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:38 PM general

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

Phijkchu_Dialga May 23, 2020 10:39 PM general

yeah i know

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:39 PM general

leg remember though

Phijkchu_Dialga May 23, 2020 10:39 PM general

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

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:39 PM general

metal bending isnt moving iron

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:39 PM general

its moving the small earth in the iron

Gent May 23, 2020 10:39 PM general

Blood bending was a highly advanced technique that could only ever be performed during the full moon, when waterbenders were strongest

Gent May 23, 2020 10:39 PM general

UNTIL LEGEND OF KORRA, THAT IS

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:39 PM general

but FOR GET DAT

Phijkchu_Dialga May 23, 2020 10:40 PM general

its not unthinkable that a water bender of sufficient strength could bloodbend without the full moon

Gent May 23, 2020 10:40 PM general

It's just lame

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:40 PM general

it ruins the power of it

Gent May 23, 2020 10:40 PM general

Like a kid making his superpowered oc

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:40 PM general

just like using a plant of lightning benders to provide electricity to a city

Gent May 23, 2020 10:40 PM general

That old lady had a brutal backstory

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:40 PM general

when previously only 2 characters were able to lightning bend

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:40 PM general

Azula and Ozai

legorhin May 23, 2020 10:40 PM general

blood bending makes me think of https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Ketsuryūgan

Ketsury%C5%ABgan

The Ketsuryūgan (血龍眼, Literally meaning: Blood Dragon Eye), is a dōjutsu, which appears in certain individuals of the Chinoike clan. The Ketsuryūgan is recognised by its reddish colour, giving a...

Gent May 23, 2020 10:40 PM general

And then it's revealed some useless schumucks are born with it

legorhin May 23, 2020 10:41 PM general

thats a terrible embed image

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:41 PM general

Iroh and Zuko only redirected it

Gent May 23, 2020 10:41 PM general

No

Gent May 23, 2020 10:41 PM general

Iroh demonstrated to zuko, remember

Phijkchu_Dialga May 23, 2020 10:41 PM general

yeah iroh can lightning bend

Gent May 23, 2020 10:41 PM general

He tried to teach zuko lightning, but zuko had a mental block

Gent May 23, 2020 10:41 PM general

Which makes sense

Dolfin May 23, 2020 10:41 PM general

he tried to teach him how to redirect it not to make it

Gent May 23, 2020 10:41 PM general

That was another really good episode
