[@bansheeuwuuwu2872]

It's not a plot hole. Think about it like this. Bending is like a sword. The lion turtles gave the sword to the humans but they did not know how to use it properly. The original benders thought humans how to use it like how Wan learned from the dragons. He had the fire but did not know how to master it. So that's why I think it's not a plot hole (Legend of Korra was really hated for this sadly ) So yeah...I really hope that you can see this

[@jordancooper1602]

When u said at 31:01 doesn't that create a plot hole on the cave of two lovers things the answer is no bc the lion turtles gave them the power to be able to bend but watching the animals like bison,dragons,the badger moles is how they master beding.

fun fact: the 'arrow' tattoo on the air nomads head during wans time is actually a symbol or raava! once the air nomads met their sky bison (whom taught them how to bend air), they thought it would show a sign of respect to their long life companion, by tattooing the sky bison arrow on their own head.

I dislike when a piece of lore is explained away as just a myth. With that way of thinking, any history explained by characters in avatar can be discarded as a legend and becomes meaningless.

[@007dragus]

As an alternative point of view, the cave of two lovers could have been the birthplace of modern earth bending, much like fire bending changed from the pure dragon style, the new earth bending could have been a combination of what was traditional bending and the pure bending of the badger moles.

[@galkastelic8906]

Very much this (OG comment) Also i can kind of see @Gal Kastelic's take on it, however i doubt even Omashu would date back 10000 years. Honestly, even the way it is told in ATLA is like a folktale. The founding myth of Omashu. IRL we have several religious attempts at explaining the world origin, etc. And for example Christianity is only a little over 2000years old, still we can't agree on any one explanation as a whole. So imagine what 10000 years would do to Avatar history. (Also the ATLA season 3 episodes showed a prime example of history being rewritten, remember the wrong school teachings?)

[@alexschwarz4749]

@@hirvale I understand the disappointment but also it's the only reasonable approach. Statements by one individual are never historical fact. They are at best anecdotal evidence, even the most neutral person is a subjective source, so a single source like that (especially when recounting something as opinionated and complex as history) is never accurate enough to remove any doubt.

As far as the Cave of Two Lovers goes, there's a lot of misconception about the added lore in LoK. Often in AtLA, when people refer to "learning bending", they are referring to the martial art form, not the actual innate ability to bend. If that were the case, what would stop Sokka from learning earthbending from badgermoles?

[@kogarashi_kaito]

In order to learn earthbending one must first have the "earth element within". Wan could use the element of fire because it was granted to him by the lion turtle, but he had to learn how to bend fire (learn firebending) from a dragon. In short: you could be born with the ability to control an element, but you have to learn how to actually bend it.

If you remember in ep 8 of atla, when aang talks to roku, aang doesnt know how can he max the elements in a year of training, but roku told him that he believe he can do it because he did it before. This was a call back to avatar wan who did max the elements by training only a year before the fight with vatuu.

These were my favorite episodes of this season. Everything about it was so perfect. I was testing up by the end of it

[@pedropedroso8344]

I'm guessing someone already said that, however, I feel the need to say it too. The fact that people can't bend in the spirit world, is because most of them travel to the spirit world through a meditation state, so only their spirit/mind is in the spirit world. But when someone travels through a portal, like Wan did, their physical body travels as well, therefore being able to bend in that realm, because bending is a physical part of your being, and the mind is the spiritual part.

You know why i love watching reaction videos 😂 cause i love the enthusiasm in it. If i watch it on my own, I can't share my enthusiasm with anyone 🥺

You mentioned the Cave of Two Lovers and I recently came up with a way to resolve that plot hole. My theory is that that story took place at some point before Wan's time. My idea is that the two villages (Maybe on lion turtles) were fighting just as they said in the story, and the two lovers met. They wanted to find a way to be together so they talked to lion turtles and asked for help, and they were possibly the first people to be granted the power of Earth. They then learned ways to control their power from the badger moles just like was explained in Cave of Two Lovers. Also the city of Omashu is almost like an island with a deep chasm around that might've protected them from the spirits just like the lion turtles did for other groups people. The theory is helped by the fact that Aye-Aye said in Beginnings Part 1 that there are dozens of other lion turtles so there might be multiple lion turtles of each element which would make it plausible that they both could a lion turtle or even multiple lion turtles. There's also the possibility that at some point between Wan and Aang somehow bending was forgotten and then rediscovered. After all they said that Harmonic Convergence happens once ever 10,000 years, so Wan was at least 10,000 years before Korra (don't remember it ever being specified if Vaatu has been imprisioned for multiple Harmonic Convergences). I feel like it is at least enough time to both somehow mass forget and then rediscover bending and start new civilizations i.e. Sun Warriors, and Omashu. Also Wan was able to bend in the Spirit World because he went through the portal so his physical body entered. Every time Aang went it was just his spirit that went while his body stayed behind (Zuko even mentioned it in the first episode of Sozin's comet when Sokka suggested that Aang was on a Spirit World journey. "If he was wouldn't his body still be here."). That's why he was never able to bend in the Spirit World.

I've always loved the headcanon that Iroh stumbled upon the tea pot Wan kept Rava in, and used it in his shop... A little bit of light in each cup.

[@kmagryffindor3]

I love that they showed the Fire Sages returned to serving the Avatar

[@soundgal_sine_qua_non]

I freaking love your reactions to sky bison showing up in this series!! It makes me so happy to see you so happy. Can't wait for you guys to get little Appa!!

[@alejandrogonzalez9144]

Every time I watch this episode, I start to cry

[@HazySkies]

24:18 this line and moment still gives me chills. It's so good!

[@TheBlackDemon1996]

To answer your question about the Lion Turtle "plothole", it's not a plothole. The Lion Turtles GAVE the ability to manipulate to elements to people, but the badgermoles and the like TAUGHT them how to bend them. We saw this with Wan when he invented the Dancing Dragon.

[@skuna2302]

so if you guys can remember, when aang first met roku during the winter solstice, roku said that aang needs to master all the elements in about a year in order to save the world. when aang expressed doubt, roku said “i know you can, for you have it done before,” referencing the experience of wan, the very first avatar.

[@zm4362]

Raava doesn’t outrank the Lion Turtle because Raava is older than anything they represent the whole spirit world possibly the universe, the Lion turtle just knows more about bending energy, the elements, and anything to do with the physical realm!!!!! I think no matter how much power and dominion u got over people u can still take advice from other beings and learn from them so THERE YA GO

[@SelinaChanselinaenchanted]

"okay but now i kinda want to hold a squid like a baby" was not something i expected to hear but i think is so cute omg montana i adore you

[@TheMadhatter1313]

I wonder if they're a lion turtle flying around this world and no one has seen him because it's always moving around.

[@semmauraiarts]

If you want clarification, the lion turtles gave people the ability to bend, but the original benders like the sky bison, dragons, and badger moles taught them how to use the bending! It’s really cool you can see in the first episode a dragon teaching wan the dragon dance to wield the fire more effectively. Love your guy’s content btw!

[@FirePuff12]

I love this episode! Vaatu’s so wild!! And Wan is 🔥

[@lisdraconis2212]

What I love so much that the avatars after Wan still have all their own personality. Some even failed at their job completely and ignored their duties. They are still their own people and just got the power of a spirit which helds the other elements.

[@phoenixwing5133]

By far my favorite two episodes of Legend of Korra. It explains so much.
