How could she bend without arms?

hmm no sweetie

When he became a weightless airbender he gained a couple of extra inches due to lack of gravity on his body.

No you couldn't, she has no hands.

how did she get shock when she could just stop the water arm technique.

can you stop niggerposting please

How is that he learned to fly, but the avatar, who suppose to the master can't. That is embarrassing, that no air bender avatar could do it.

Is it though? I mean we have seen the avatar in his avatar state fly/levitate a lot of times actually.

Why did Aang need a glider, if he could fly? Why does Tenzen?

I had forgot how bad Legend of Korra was. I get it, the writters never knew if they were getting a new season so everyone had to have a big baddie of the season, but it was so lame compared to Aang. If Korra had one big objective as Aang did, maybe the series would not been the fuck up it was.

/thread

the fighting was literally the only redeemable part of korra

I believe the claim was one had to let go of earthly attachments, it's sort of dodgy what that means but since most Avatars are raised or grow to become protector figures it sort of adds up they'd still hold on to places, people or their purpose.

Of course how Zaheer "let go", mostly of P'Li, but was still obsessed with dismantling worldly matters is sort of a contradiction.
It would have been an anti-climax, but after he learned to fly he really should have just peaced out and left Red Lotus to the rest of things.

shut the fuck up

>daughter of one of the greatest waterbenders to ever live
>barely competent
I hated how they did Aangs children

Korra defense force. It's been a while.

Aan was still a 12 year old kid, Tenzen had no talent. The avatar state did provide him with levitation powers by default and there were monks in the past who could do the same, that's where Broly over here got the idea from.

Forgot to add:
It's also very shitty that, while Aang struggle was to make the world a better place by changing it's politics, Korra's was to mantain the statu quo. Literally her last two foes were strawman anarchists and stalinists.

I think its fair to say that Tenzin was the only character with a direct connection to the previous show who was fully utilized and was shown to be rightfully at the top of the pecking order. Lin is also alright but she gets shafted in season 4

You're right tenzin was a pretty good character, he towed the line between being better than most but still not being good enough to surpass his dad pretty well, I just wish Bumi and Kya were less of a shitshow

>spend a few low levels as an obvious caster
>take the Silent / Still Spell feats
>don’t even have to move to throw out a fireball up some lord’s vassal

dumb waifufag

Tenzin might have been my favorite character. As a general rule I was much more interested in the "adults" than in the "kids".

maybe it's not that she's incompetent and that Ming-Hua is just super badass

Gaining the ability to fly involved becoming untethered to the world, so the avatar being unable to do so was explained back in the first series when Aang spoke with Avatar Yangchen
>Many great and wise air nomads have detached themselves, and achieved spiritual enlightenment. But the Avatar can never do it, because your sole duty is to the world

Tenzin absolutely clowning Zaheer in a 1v1 is probably my favorite part of the whole series. Shows some nice character growth for him while also affirming that he does deserve the title of master

So the avatar can never max out as a air bender, thus can never become a master. Sad!

How ever will they recover with only being able to bend four elements simultaneously with enough force behind them to alter nature?

The way those water arms work is still wild to me. The idea that waterbending can give water such adhesive strenght/suction force/whatever the hell it is that it can bear the weight of and even effortlessly pull up a grown human body - yeah, that's out there. Can you basically lift up anything with superglue waterbending? How much weight can the water bear? Can you make water solid without changing it into ice? Can you make it act like rubber?

And can other benders do the same? Can earthbenders do similar stuff with like, dust particles? Can airbenders solidify and walk on thin air? Can firebenders just raise the temperatures of things around them without motion by wanting it?

He used his face to bend. Ming Hua has absolutely full control over her water arms despite not physically moving. You can't defend the retarded psychic bending like hers or granny Tophs or Amons. And Combustion Man isn't evidence of psychic bending when he wasn't even a firebender in the original show.

>if they told the book entirely from their perspective, painting them as the anti-gaang until korra's krew shows up in the end and kills them off
that would be amazing

I liked all the little touches they gave Zaheer's fight to indicate that while he is very talented, he's still an untested novice.

The show may have fumbled on writing dozens of times, but goddamn western animation needs more choreography like this

>And can other benders do the same?
Probably but they must have some insane handicapped. Like if she wasn't a bender she'd just be some crippled bitch. Like how toph was blind if you have to rely solely on bending then yea you could some insane shit. If they kept going with this one day the avatar would probably be a blind nugget that is now a god of the elements.

I love how every fire attacks is like star wars stormtroopers and not allowed to hit, where every other element can.

His soul was no longer weighed down by earth's gravity

Tenzin was the only one to sorta hold his own vs the Red Lotus compared to Bumi and Kya who got wrecked pretty quickly
Then again
>Recently an airbender vs a master lavabender
>Waterbender vs waterbender
>Master airbender vs recently an airbender

Zaheer vs Tenzin was very nice with those details
Zaheer relied on airbending jumps to dodge and alternate with a few airbending attacks
Tenzin on the other hand managed to fluidly change and mix both offense and defense as a true master

>Can earthbenders do similar stuff with, like, dust particles?
IIRC, there was a character in Battlepug who did that, and he used it to basically sandblast people. I wish they had explored this more in Avatar, though. Sandbending would have been so cool to see.
>The desert version of the swamp benders, who raise sand to hide their numbers
>an entire tribe of Dale Gribbles, anti-authoritarian whose fighting style mostly consists of pocket sand

>can airbenders... walk on thin air
Zaheer did that.
Besides that, Aang had done some stuff like breaking the surface tension of the water as he fell, and in some place they mentioned Airbenders being able to bend while they glide to remove air resistance.

Real question
How does she wipe her ass?

A blind fire bender prodigy similar to toph would have infared vision.

Looks like a bidet and air dry situation.

Water tribe made for fug. It's a good bending fight scenes, but honestly I'd smash all three, then eat a sandwich and go another round.

how does anyone in this setting wipe
I don't see any toilet paper anywhere dawg

Toph created huge dust clouds a few times

I wish they all survived

Amon bloodbent telepathically, so maybe a similar line of reasoning

he was still a complete jobber in season 1
I thought he was still one of the more likeable characters though

>A small village up north. You've probably never heard of it.
this line always cracks me up

Why don't series do this cute relationship type more often

They were cute. The Red Lotus redeemed season three honestly.
