I feel like Fire and Air bending just never evolved much. During the 100 year war Water and Earth evolved mostly because of desperation during the war and the need to become stronger to fight off the Fire nation. The Fire nation had no need to find new techniques because they thought they were the strongest, while air benders didn’t exist. If there was another season, Fire and Air could potentially have many strong techniques. Zahir was doing well to prove that, but he was stopped too early.

[@preator_vallum6377]

I think it makes sense fire bending went through a cultural upheaval as many countries do under the rule of a violent dictator. In a way historically nerding over it it oddly gives me WWII vibes. Nazi-Germany had hitler fire nation had Ozai, and they're first major conquest was the immediate genocide of the Jewish (airbenders).

Theoretically, if a waterbender can turn water in to ice and unfreeze ice by controlling the temperature, couldn’t they reverse that and make hot boiling water? They could basically have a liquid form of fire bending. EDIT: two years later and I still get replies correcting me. I know they control the molecules rather than the temperature. It would’ve been too complicated to explain that they speed up and slow them down, so I just simplified it to “controlling the temperature.”

Not really, if you take humans and represented them through the most fitting element, water reflects our qualities best as a species compared to other animals, we can adapt best to all circumstances, situations and enviroments through use of tools, learning, understanding, mimicing etc and that's why we are the top dog in the evolutionairy chain. This is also the attitude and philosophy one should take most into account when training and utilizing any martial art. Stay calm, cool, relaxed, sway back and forth, right, left in rhythm to your opponent, shift your defense to offense at a moments notice when you find a crack or opening in your opponent's defense or when he becomes heated and unbalanced, while never losing your center of balance, like a still body of water, if you need to or the opportunity arises, become a raging river, crashing waterfall, smashing wave and pounding hail!

Astrologically speaking.. I'm a someone who stomps like a capricorn and destroys like a scorpio lol. That said We still are unique as an individual regardless of our specie. Being a part of a specie doesn't mean we all are the same. As a specie correct and I would agree with what you said. But as an individual (which we all are) within the specie not. Good post though.

@@aznsolja84 Yeah you're right on the money there. What makes us unique and so individualistic as humans is that we are all essentialy Tabularasa when we're born, blank canvas shaped by our experiences, decisions, interests, background, enviroment and ofc upbringing. I also really like how you brought up, related and transitioned the topic of the 4 elements over to astrology. While I do find some people (mostly women for some reason) highly exaggerate the importance of it's influence on their live and decisions, such as romance god forbid, I can't deny that I have amusingly very often found some truth and relation of people's character and personality traits coming pretty close to their respective starsigns. I myself am a Leo first and a Libra second, so Fire and Air respectively. I and my friends and family agree that I can appear arrogant, lofty at times but also very passionate energetic taking charge, all things associated with lions, which is ironic considering I'm 100% a dog person. Also the thing you mentioned about those signs influencing your fighting(?) or live style, I too funnily enough despite my preference and goal going towards Water, when recently picking/starting Martial arts I (or rather my stubborn temple of a body >_>) am still too much like my respective elements. Hasty, moving too much, overcommiting/thinking, having too little balance and being too hellbent on Power and Speed, instead of Endurance, Balance, Technique, observation and ofc timing, which I know to be more important. Speaking of ideal Style, since you said you are also tending more towards the advantages of water, and are prob someone who based on this show, might also enjoy anime, man do I have the perfect character for you, which is coincodentally the guy in my profile pic, Garou from the series One punch man. You surely have seen that phenomenal famous scene in Sherlock Holmes, where Holmes is in a ring against a burly and stronger brawler and executes a perfect series of counters in the style of Wing chun, mixed with other conventional attacks, right? Well, if you want a character that takes that concept to it's logical extreme, there you go. Imagine what Wolverine would be like if he had no obv apparent super powers relied on martial arts, but fought like renegade, dojo crushing Bruce Lee and you would essentially have the Human monster, Hero hunter Garou. (Though there's about at least 6 more comparisons like that I could draw.)

I'll at least answer these before I fall on the hay. Speaking of late, what were you referring to when you said playing devil's advocate this late? Were you refering to yourself or to me, even my understanding of context is out of it's depth here with english being my second and only other somewhat competent used language, that's gonna keep me puzzled otherwise if not cleared up. Yeah, I do know Garou's entire character arc from his introduction to the epic and dramatic conclusion against Saitama at the end of the Monster association vs HA clash in the Webcomic. I wouldn't regard him as such a great Anti-Villain and relate to him more than any other fictional character if I hadn't read the entire webcomic until now, though I am curious which other phenomenal changes Murata will add onto it. I generally am too impatient when it comes to stories and media I'm interested/invested in, even if I learned about those by getting major spoilers, and then usually catch up to date. In the case of Attack on Titan though I'm glad I already followed the manga bc that's one of the only stories I feel gets ruined or soiled if you get spoilt. As for the starsign disc. I'm prob nowhere near as knowledgable and aware of all the details, I just knew my Sun sign (leo) and Rising sign (libra), but I looked up a calculator and I also got my Moon sign being Taurus, whose given attribites sound close enough.

[@toxicperson8936]

I’ve always thought water bending was the most powerful. It balances well, in the sense that water is the most “rare” of the elements, with firebenders being able to create fire, air being everywhere, & earth also being almost everywhere. Being the strongest element, it makes sense that the element itself isn’t as abundant as the others. Also, I feel like water bending has the most sub skills. You can change the state of water, making it ice or steam. Healing, plant bending, bloodbending, etc. not to mention, like you said, that they get a “power up” during night, & even more so on a full moon. Bloodbending itself is also just very overpowered. I don’t think the full moon was necessary, but since water benders get such a big boost during the full moon, a lot of water benders probably aren’t able to bend without it. But it’s been showed that with practice, it can be done at any time. Also, I can imagine that waterbenders can literally kill other humans in less then a second, if they wanted to. They can drain all the liquid out of someone’s body, like how Hama did with the flowers, just leaving a dry dead corpse. The can also probably adjust the blood flow in order to kill you as well. Bloodbending could have been really good if used for healing purposes instead of just offensive, I wish they would have showed something like that.

[@howtopasstime]

I feel like airbending has the potential to be the most OP. Almost everything is surrounded by air. Seems like airbenders can control air pressure and force. By that sense they can use air to morph any element really however they want. I assume they can control things like air density and lack of air too, which means ideally they can create vacuums, and even compress mass in order to affect spacetime. Of course, this with the assumption that a bender can possibly have a very high strength and force cap.

[@azekia]

I was thinking of airbenders floating around like Zaheer or simply creating a mini tornado around the victim and then asphyxiate them. Or as we saw in Korra, an earthbender heats up dirt and turns it in lava; well and airbender technically could firebend the same way firebenders (firebenders use no fuel, just oxygen, meaning they bend heat)

[@prussiangreen6940]

They can probably suck out the air in the lungs too

[@Mushroompancake]

Airbending really does have the potential to be the most powerful. A key example is the non-canonical fan made bending technique of soundbending. It would be an airbending sub bending technique, where the user would vibrate the air in a certain area, creating sound waves. If I remember correctly, at around 200 Decibels, a human could be easily incapacited. 300 and I'm pretty sure you'd be dead. A lot of people don't seem to realize, Air is a pretty general term, typically refering to simply just Gas. in an episode of the legend of korra, I'm pretty sure in season three, airbenders are shown to be bending smoke, so we can kinda assume that airbenders can just bend gasses in general, not just oxygen. so maybe airbenders could couse you to burst by trapping the methane gas in your body? it would take a while though.

[@Mushroompancake]

@@azekia Actually, an airbender likely couldn't firebend. the reason firebenders can bend lightning is also why they can bend fire. they don't bend heat, they bend plasma. Fire is plasma. lightning is also plasma.

[@sabalabadze4114]

@@Mushroompancake yes but if airbenders can vibrate the air so much that it heats up, it'll basically be firebending, since they can also amplify it by adding more oxygen to it, they would be very powerful. In a sense they could also waterbend or 'liquidbend' if they increased the density of any gas to a certain point. Imagine getting attacked with liquid nitrogen which is so abundant in the air as a gas

[@LegioXXI]

I think fire bending is being underestimated. The reason the fire nation is so heavily industrialized is because of fire bending. Where all other nations would need coal or other materials to fuel their engines, fire benders can basically fuel their engines forever with their bending. Mechanized war machines, artillery, steamships and airships and you can neglect all advantages a water or earth bender could have - which is exactly what happened at the 100 year war. Fire is just the most useful element if it comes to logistics. And while battles are won by tactic and generals, wars are won by strategy and logistics.

I think they're all balanced, honestly. Earth is strength: a bending with impenetrable defense, yet an overwhelming but vulnerable offense. Water is versatility: a style of bending that is adaptable and versatile with no real weaknesses other than lack of accessibility on most human civilizations. Fire is power: a style of bending with an insurmountable offense, which makes up for the lack of defense. Air is free: a style of bending that is equally balanced on offense and defense due to its invisible nature and accessibility of the element itself.

[@ibabul7865]

Well, the "lack of accesibility" is not a problem, because the most powerful ones can take the water from the flowers, trees, sweat, clouds, haze, and even more. And there is still blood bending. So, they couldn't use (most of) their power if they are in desert (but even there, there is cactus), or in a empty building that wouldn't be too hot or cold (because waterbender can bend almost any types of liquid, so if there is books, they could maybe use the anchor to bend). Yeah boy, water is really powerful.

[@seanpule266]

@@ibabul7865 Yeah that's still just proving my point all of that is a bit inferior to actual large bodies of water, you also can't just expect to see cactuses roamin' around in deserts because those aren't aplenty. Likewise, a true bender has plenty of appreciation for nature and to drain a source of life from the soil for the sole purpose of violence is against the cause. Blood-bending is aforementioned, but still not attainable: 1. Almost nobody can do it, lol. 2. Those who can wait for the full moon. 3. The two people who could do it without a full moon are DEAD. *That being said, I already think that waterbending is by far the most overpowered bending skill, and there is nothing to prove to me.* And only an idiot water bender is walkin' around without a source of water on them for self-defense, so these are measures taken due to *lack of accessibility.* This is one of the biggest reasons that the water tribe essentially built defenses and is unable to go around invading other nations: they are significantly weaker outside of their home court.

[@pyroshock2789]

If firebenders can manifest fire by just heating up the air and combusting it, shouldn't they also be able to transfer heat?

As for me, I think that all bending tecniques are in a constant loop with each other. Lava bending was used by avatar Roku even in first book of ATLA. And he was a fire bender at the beggining. Same with that guy from Korra, that was an earth bender. So, lava bending is kind of amalgamation of Fire and Earth bending simoltaneosly. Same goes for re-shaping the clouds: they're made frome vaporized water, water in gas state. So both Aang and Katara can "bending" the clouds. So every "non-main" bending is just combination of all other "main" bendings. Now, there is another thing. I noticed that every elemend is "assigned" with some characteristic: for water is to be smooth, adaptability, flexebility; for fire is destruction, risk, (un)control; for earth is stability, steadyness, will; and for air is unorthodoxness, focus, inner spirit. In other words, all elements lies in two categories - mental and physical activness.(Air with Water are mentaly active and Fire with Earth are mentaly passive, while Water and Fire physicaly active and Air with Earth are physicaly passive) When we talk about whater alone - yes, that is the most powerful bending. But why? Because of it's ADAPTABILITY AND FLEXEBILITY! Whater have the most uses in every state, in every given task. In liquid form it's a waterbending alright. In gas state water is close to the air bending. In solidified ice form water is close to earth bending. Water is kind of a bridge for almost all other elemens. Exept, maybe, the fire - water's opposite. But my theory, that blood bending is combination of water and fire bendings: water doing main job with managing body liquid, and fire making water magic much more dangerous. But when it comes to the Avatar cycle, my guess will be, that water bending is kind of the key to learning all other bendings, but in regards of "importance" all elements are equally needed. Water is the life itself, the biginning of everything, right? Water's "adaptability" is the main piece to learning all other elements. When Aang tried to learn fire bending from Jong Jong, fire came out of control. That's because Aang didn't have the inner will and steadiness from Earth bending, which even wasn't reachable for Aang's "airy" inner spirit without understanding water's "smoothness" and "Flexebility". In this case we see, that Earth bending is kind of opposite of Air bending and water is NEEDED to overcome this difficulty. The fire is last and hardest one for learning 'cause not of bending opposites, but inner character opposites and past bending learnings: water teaches adaptability, earth teaches stability and air teaches non-direct-violence. So when the time comes to tame, but still unleash inner beast - it's hard for Aang to do that on mental level, but not on bending level. So every Avatar probably faced the same difficulties in learning all bendings: the third one is his\hers bending opposites, while the last one is mental opposites for the avatar. Roku must had some troubles with water magic. It's flexebility was too opposite to more or less direct fire, but without air's focus and unorthodoxness it would be hard to learn water. While Earth was the hardest element to learn due to it's more passive and "grounded" approach in compare to other elements: fire's activity, whater's physical ability to change and air's mental flexebility. These three elements are all ACTIVE elements, but not earth. That's why Roku learned earth bending the last. Same goes for Kiyoshi - air's unorthodoxness is much harder to master than original earth steadyness. Withous fire's power control it's hard to learn. And water is the most hard to learn due to big difference between solid, hard, stedy earth and fluid, unpredictable, flexeble water. Maybe Kuruk was the same: the deadly, uncontrolable fire was too hard to learn in bending sence because without eath's steady ground for too unsteady water. And air is too "airy" mentally for already "grounded" person with way too strict elements of fire, earth and water. The last element to learn is like trying to destroy all erlier learned "preconceptions". For Airbending Avatar fire saying "Not every conflict can be dealt with adaptability, sometimes you need to fight or use force". For Firebending Avatar earth saying "No matter how much you or the world around you changes, sometimes you must to have a steady ground beneath you". For Earthbending Avatar water saying "Nothing is still forever, sometimes we need to compromise and change". And for Waterbending Avatar air saying "There is no dead ends. Until you have the inner will to do at least something - you're still have a chance".

I'll note a few points. Waterbending is not actually OP, but rather it's the most OP element that you can show. Here's why. Many of the other bending abilities can do pretty much whatever you said about waterbenders, maybe apart from phase shift. If you're a creative bender, you can: Airbending -suck out the air out of an area -suck out the air out of someone's lungs -control their bodies with the gases in it -poison them with carbon monoxide or argon -create bubbles in their blood or brain by concentrating the air in their cells -manipulate local weather -slice anything with sonic winds Earthbending -pull out minerals/iron from blood -sink your enemies to the earth -seal body parts with rocks -Push earth into someone's mouth -smash someone into a paste Firebending -manipulate temperatures -manipulate lightning, and by extension, everything electrical -burn out the oxygen around someone As you can see, these are all lethal. Their only difference is you can't show an avatar brutally collapsing someone's lung - or anyone for that matter. They had to make airbenders pacifists as well, otherwise they can just do whatever. While I agree to an extent that waterbenders are great, the show just lacked proper imagination of dispatching enemies. Watch something like Heroes, X-Men or anything with adult elemental powers and you'll see the full extent of what elemental powers can do. They had to nerf many of the other elements for visual effect, otherwise Earthbenders will be smashing people flat on a regular basis.

Further, we’ve seen benders from other elements pull of powerful feats like this one with their own elements. Bumi bent Ozai’s statue and was chucking houses around like they beach balls.

@@frimi8593 I agree, and disagree. I think that Earth benders are, defensively, the strongest benders, and they pack one hell of a good offensive defense. But I think Waterbenders have far more versatility and flexibility. What makes an Earth Bender stronger is their rigidity; they don't bend or break, but it's also their weakness. Waterbenders are known for being adaptable, and using their enemies own power against them. A Waterbenders can match an Earbender for brute Force, using ice, but they can also go around that force with liquid, or gas. Create an incredibly thick cloud of mist then immediately condense it on the target. Or turn it into razor sharp icicles and make them a pin cushion. Or make the most so dense they drown as they breathe. Water is just too versatile of an element that is always has an answer for any other matchup.

I think some people forget that these skills are hard to learn. Even in Korra's time, plenty of capable earthbenders couldn't bend metal. Zuko couldn't learn lightning and I am sure even less people know combustion. In the for most of the first season of ATLA, Katara was pathetic at waterbending to the point where it was a source of comedy.

[@lucasrobin2788]

@@frimi8593 Few comments on your ideas. 1. You're correct. Seismic sense appears to be able to be learned by any bender, just like bloodbending - rare, but only because people don't know about it. This means that Earthbenders and Waterbenders could both equally perform Tarlock's simultaneous attack and defence, with Earth probably winning due to being heavier and stronger than water. However, you need to be an incredibly specialised earthbender to learn seismic sense - we have only ever seen an Avatar, a blind person who uses it to see, or the daughters of said blind person use it. While Lin and Suyin both show that is is possible for non-Avatar and non-blind earthbenders to use it, the skillcap required is much, much higher than a waterbender's skillcap for simply raising a water barrier in front of themselves. In summary: Majority of waterbenders v majority of earthbenders, both attempting simultaneous offence and defence - waterbender wins. Top-tier Waterbender v top tier Earthbender - Earthbender wins. 2. The water canister v metal canister thing - in terms of element availability, Earth and Water are matched.. There are two, possible environments that are without water - a fully earth environment (desert / rock) or a fully metal environment (battleship, tall building, oil rig). Both of these environments contain an abundance of earth and sand / brick and metal, so both would far favour an Earthbender. But equally, for Waterbenders, there is the ocean, lakes and seas- an environment that fully favours a waterbender. Even with the invention of boats, all a waterbender would need to do is surf over to it, punch a hole it it with ice, and then move back and wait for the boat to sink. Waterbenders could (as seen with Ghazan's prison) construct a permanent settlement on water with absolutely no metal or earth nearby, and live there indefinitely, surviving only off fish and aquatic plants, and purifying the water by burning wood or bending out the salt. The same cannot be said for an all earth environment - human beings need to drink, so no matter what happens, there will always be water present in some form - this means waterbenders will have some sort of weapon available. And even in that environment, a Waterbender can bloodbend, as we saw when Hama learned the technique in an all metal prison. Placing both elements in as favourable an environment as possible - Water wins. 3. Bloodbending. First off - Psychic bloodbending does not necessarily imply psychic bending in general (apart from the Avatar). Only Yakone and Amon had this ability - it appears to be tied to Yakone's genetics, meaning that no psychic firebender or airbender is going to pop up any time soon. Secondly, only waterbenders and avatars (who are also waterbenders) have the ability to resist bloodbending in any capable capacity. Mako did do it, but the only thing he could to was sort of bend lightning in one direction - it was Amon releasing his grip that let him escape. If Amon had simply bloodbend Mako's arms to his sides, Mako would have been powerless. Compare this to Korra, who could move freely but with difficulty when she airbending kicked Amon, Aang, who became completely immune while in the Avatar state, and Katara, who was 100% immune to the technique BEFORE she bloodbent for the first time. Unless you are an Avatar, another Waterbender, or you are a lightning bender that gets extremely lucky, bloodbending is not defendable in any way. Water wins. To add, all waterbenders, even Swampbenders that don't live near ice, can phase-change water. This is an ability that Earthbenders cannot parallel unless they are a lavabender - once again like Yakone's psychic bloodbending, shown to be a skill inherent to specific individuals. Even the, Earthbenders can only change between solid and liquid, not gas - wheras waterbenders can do all three. Of course, lava is more destructive than water or ice - but a waterbender could easily fight a lavabender just by bending water at the lava and freezing it. Additionally, lavabending offers no non-lethal options, compared to waterbending - can't use it if you're in a non-lethal duel or if you're attempting to apprehend but not kill. Much like my first point - majority of waterbenders v majority of earthbenders - water wins. Top tier v top tier - a tie. (also, with the mech fight and the vast quantity of water used then - Korra is the avatar. Her non-avatar state bending is still superior to the vast majority of regular benders, and she may have even flashed her Avatar State eyes off camera before she used the move)

If you remember, most earth benders have to be in physical contact with the medium they're attempting to bend.

I think the elements are all pretty equally powered. Some people would just think water bending is the most powerful because of that scary blood bending and its probable connection to cutting off someone's bending. All the elements are dangerous and could be used to perform powerful feats. Air bending has been used to kill by taking all the air from a person's body and you can fly with it. Fire is pretty obvious since you could use it to roast someone like a chicken and is connected to lighting which can also pretty easily kill someone. Earth has metal bending which turns you to a glorified Magneto, sand bending which is like being Gaara from Naruto, mud bending, you can sense people's movements if their feet are touching the ground, and if your really special then you can even control lava which is pretty darn amazing. Respect really goes out to Toph's people sensing since it gives a form of "sight" to a blind person. You can't do that with the other elements. If someone who bends other elements is blind then that's just it for them.
