I have wanted to do a theory on Avatar the Last Airbender for YEARS! It is one of my favorite animated series ever and full of SO MUCH to theorize about! It took a while but I have finally figured out what to do - uncover the SCIENCE behind bending. That's right, I am going to figure out how bending works with SCIENCE! Today, we are focusing on Waterbending. Watch out Katara, I may become the best Waterbender in the WORLD after this episode!

The reason Avatar Roku found water bending difficult was because he was a natural fire bender. Fire bending and water bending are opposites like earth and air hence why Ang found earth bending difficult. This opposite element thing is also seen in the actual techniques for the bending like the quick, nimble, dexterous movements of air bending which parallel the grounded, rigid, brute-force earth bending techniques.

ITS NOT MAGIC ITS TRAGIC *Bob’s burgers reference*

[@mennoberga4133]

Good video! A few notes from a fanboy: 1. Bending is explicitly stated not to be considered magic in the world of Avatar. In the first episode of the show, Katara gets angry at Sokka for calling it so. 2. Water benders don't fully lose their powers during a lunar eclipse, i don't think. After all, the moon isn't around during the day, but that never seems to be an issue. This can be confusing, since the S1 finale included an event called the Lunar Eclipse, which prevented benders from waterbending. However, in that case, the moon itself straight up died, and had to be reincarnated to be restored. 3. While Iroh invented lightning *redirection* by studying water bending, lightning *bending* itself is not based on waterbending. It's an extremely pure version of firebending, that requires the bender not to use rage as a fuel, which is why so many benders (including Zuko) can't learn it. Lightning redirection has a lower entry bar, since the user only has to understand energy flows - like a waterbender. 4. Finally, Roku didn't struggle with water because water is a particularly hard element to learn. He struggled, because it was the element opposite to his own (fire). Mentality plays a huge role in bending, and Roku grew up as a firebender. We can see Aang struggle similarly with earthbending, as he has an airbender mentality. Korra seems like an exception to this, since she's a water tribe girl who mastered fire quite easily, but that's because she never really thought like a waterbender per say. Instead, Korra struggled with airbending, the most spiritual element, since she was so focused on becoming a better fighter, as opposed to a better person. *[Edit]* Since you read to the end i'll recommend the youtube channel Hello Future Me. It's a guy that talks about principals of storytelling, but he also has a whole bunch of Avatar lore deep dives. I recommend his video on Energybending, which explains some more about bending in general! This concludes my essay lol

[@richardconaway9720]

@@cyco5400 plus water is highly dia-magnetic, meaning it's so non-receptive to magnetic manipulation that any such magnetic field would literally bend/attract everything around it INCLUDING the water, there would be no element specific benders if magnetism truly were what was behind bending (we also see benders PULL water toward themselves, which is essentially overriding the diamagnetism of water), and fire is just released energy in the form of ionized air as plasma. so fire bending "might" make sense with the magnet theory as ionization does play well with magnetic fields and in some instances is even the result of localized magnetic fields, but outside of earth and fire a magnetic field driven hypothesis is fairly flawed.

Correction: Avatar Roku had trouble with water bending, because it was in direct conflict with the philosophies he was raised with in the Fire Nation. Much like how Earth is resistant to air (and air unyielding to Earth,) water is smooth and subtle, malleable; fire is directly derived from passion and stubbornness. Aang had to overcome overthinking Earth bending, and Roku had to learn to adapt to change, in order to water bend.

[@LittIeRoo]

whilst i agree with this, also has to do with personal philosophy, like avatar korra, personality wise she'd be a much better fit as an earthbender by nature as she's stubborn and set in her ways, struggling with learning air whilst learning fire and earth with relative ease.

@AC - 08JS - Eldorado PS (1505) It seems to have more to do with the anti-element of a given bender's mindset than anything else. Still, Korra is kind of a special case, since she was a noted prodigy with the physical aspect of elements who was bending three different kinds from such a young age (fire included) that she probably didn't really get locked into the "water" mindset. (Each element seems to benefit from a certain mindset in order to operate it; air = grace/evasion, earth = stand your ground, water = flow/change, fire = force/life.)

[@JubeiKibagamiFez]

@AC - 08JS - Eldorado PS (1505) Legend of Korra doesn't actually go into how hard or easy it was for her to learn Fire Bending. They just sort of glossed over it in one episode. It may have been significantly more difficult for her to learn than earth bending.

But there are also bloodbenders and water benders that tap into the water in their opponent’s body, and the bloodbenders virtually torture their opponents, so it wouldn’t be unheard of. However, if they decided firebenders having an ability like this was going too far for a PG film/show, they could make a movie with firebenders able to adjust their opponents body heat and just make it a higher rating if they so please. This way, they can add another fascinating feature and even have an entire movie about this(e.g. main character is firebender and they realise this power and have to decide what to do with it or who to tell or how they feel about this conundrum ect.)

"even avatar roku said that water bending was particularly hard for him to learn" cuz he was born a FIREBENDER

[@onigiri2659]

That has some correlation, but the real reason was that it was the polar opposite from what he was originally capable. think of it as a born-given talent, you were born with it so that naturally means that you're good at it, but just because you already have one doesn't mean you can learn more. and also, in irl cases, some people have an ability to learn other talents really easily, mainly because they have really good listening skills. and if you rewatch all of Roku's interactions, you'll know that he isn't the type to listen to what his sister says. Sure, he does listen to his master, or does he? In a couple of episodes, we can clearly see him disobeying his master. Roku just isn't the type to really listen. I can prove this by using Aang. Now, Aang IS an Air Bender so that means that he can just learn all of the elements really easily, but even he has a hard time with Earth bending, mainly because of two reasons. One is that Earth Bending is the complete opposite of Air Bending, just like how Water Bending is also a complete opposite of Fire Bending. And for the second reason, he's just really stubborn. you can see him be really stubborn in some episodes. Because of this stubborness is how he has a hard time learning it. The only reason he eventually got the hang of it isn't because of the training he did, but it was because Air is all the other elements weakness, Air could easily control all of the other elements. So in Roku's, and all the other character's case, literally everyone could learn all of the other elements in the show. It's just because that the elements are weakened by other elements on the table. But that's just a theory, A MICRO THEORY. AND CUT. (you get it? Like the film theory thi- ok, I'll leave)

You can just create opposing electromagnetic fields, and trap water between them. From there, you apply pressure through the fields, onto the water, from all directions, condensing it. What happens when we condense liquids in an environment where heat can be transferred? It rapidly cools and solidifies. Its how water condenses on to a glass, but just the next step in the process, which is a weird concept to put to words. The really interesting thing, to me, is that if they condense the water quickly, very quickly, before the heat can dissipate, then that can explain the steam clouds they can make.

ALSO: The type of bending that is hardest for an Avatar to master isn’t necessarily their opposite element based on Nationality and ethnicity but rather the OPPOSITE from their individual character and mannerism. Aang was born into the Air Nomads, SURE, but he’s a very soft one and one that’s constantly moving and redirecting himself {who ran AWAY and lied to himself about being the Avatar} so naturally a head-on hard and immovable rock style is his opposite. The Earth Kingdom also has a lot of rules that the fun and free at first Aang doesn’t live by. Korra is very stubborn and focuses more on tangible, physical results so spiritual connection and airy movements were hardest for her to master. Ofc not everyone with geographical similarities got the same personality traits. I’d say a very free, untethered and restless fire bender will find air to be easiest from the other 3 elements and probably find stable fixed and square earth bending most difficult. It’s also why Korra uses a lot of fire bending cuz she is not only attracted to a fire bender, but very offensive and destructive in her techniques and doesn’t have much self control at first {and her natural instincts are to shift the blame on someone else when she messes up her bending to spare her own pride. Which builds character as she becomes a more well rounded and open minded character as the story progresses}. Going back to Aang’s opposite being Earth, he was raised primarily with pure Air Nomad mentality where as in the LOK’s setting we see the more modern mixture of nationalities and therefore mixture of traits and cultures. Individuals are exposed to different mannerisms and ways of life. Also explains why the very soothing nature of hot water tea loving badass healer IROH finds it easy to learn from water bending styles as a fire bender himself and discovers lightening bending... but idk😂 HEY it’s JUST A THEORY, A FILM THEORY

[@zm4362]

Kanga Ruuu I’d be happy if u read it all!!!!!

[@oscaraugustoarangocabrera3835]

Yep, you're totally right. Tenzin explained it to Korra. It's not about the element you were born. It's about the opposite of your personality. That's why Aang struggled so much with earth bending (and yeah, a coincidence that it seems to be the opposite of air bending). But when we see Korra, she struggled with air bending and that (following the aang example) seems wrong, because the opposite of water should be fire. But, Tenzin explained that it's about the opposite of the personality

[@zm4362]
