Alec, if I were an air bender I would specialize in creating vacuums.

Good luck bending anything when I forcibly remove the air from everywhere around you.

Did you not watch that last episode? Airbenders can just dodge anything from the other three.

And they have like the best matchup against Waterbenders. They can control the air, so they can create vacuums so the Waterbenders can't pull water from the air. They can also make bubbles to breathe and propel themselves underwater. Any water whip or ice shards or whatever can be deflected/dodged with Airbending.

I watched them beat up little lame-os. Seriously, that's like... the quarter finals? What kind of weak field does that tournament have.

Plus, the waterbenders don't need to pull water from the air, they can pull water from the airbender.

I'm confused as to how you suddenly came to the thought that Aang's son who is adorned with airbending-master tattoos, and who is the father of (at least) 3 airbenders, was somehow going to turn out to be a fraud. ....what?


Well firstly, I forgot that those tattoos signified airbending mastery, I just thought they were part of the air nation culture.

Secondly, all of his teaching focused around the philosophy behind air bending, which is something anyone who's immersed in the culture could impart to a student.

Thirdly, when Tenzin's wife asks Katara if her children were as energetic and impetuous as her own, she replies that two were, but Tenzin wasn't, which I thought might've been a hint of sorts.

Fourthly, I thought it would make a good plot hook, what with the bender vs anti-bender sentiments being introduced in the series.

Fifthly, Katara's parents weren't benders, nor were Toph's, so it's by no means impossible for him to have bending children. Nor is it any less possible for a bender to have a child who doesn't bend, otherwise Katara would've had no need to check in the first place.

While this is pure speculation, I think if Katara was ever willing to actually work at it, she would've figured out blood bending without a full moon fairly quickly. All the moon does is enhance their powers, and at fourteen she was already the best water bender on the planet.

Yeah, but it's airbending, the physical manipulation of an element. It's not a sociology degree you can just lie about having and put on a resume. Like all of his achieved status and probable celebrity being Aang's son and he just somehow faked being an airbending master?
"Daddy says we're not good enough to learn airbending from him yet, we learned it all from the all the other airbenders roaming the planet."

Like I'm sorry, I don't come down harsh on people, but this is just one of the craziest sentiments (from an illogical sense) I've seen in a while.

You're misinterpreting my arguments. Korra learned the basics of three different elements without any sort of instruction whatsoever, and it's implied that she mastered the physical aspects of those elements with ease. There's a heavy implication throughout the first two episodes (and hell, through much of the original series as well) that bending can come easily to benders, but without the spirituality and philosophy behind it you can never become a master.

The first two episodes also go to great pains to emphasize the fact that Tenzin has mastered those subtler aspects. Meanwhile, we have pretty much no idea about his actual physical bending prowess, which I guarantee was a conscious decision on the part of the writers. He was already teaching Korra, along with his daughters, in the ways of airbending with hardly any use of the art himself, so why do you consider it so impossible without any use at all?

As for the public component of it, that doesn't seem like a big deal to me either. They live in peace time. He lives on a secluded island, and has already demonstrated a disdain for frivolous public displays of bending prowess. I doubt he's given many demos in his time.

I'm sure if anyone could teach airbending without using it it would be Aang's son, the foremost and (much more than likely) only airbending master in the world. My argument is you can't possibly look at his situation and life and come to any reasonable conclusion that he might not be an Airbender. I can guarantee he got his master tattoos from Aang himself, and my guess is Aang isn't handing it out like Halloween candy. Yeah he lives on a secluded island, but he's a Republic City councilman. Probably about 40 years old, the Avatar's son, and in all that time never showed one display of airbending? Like I know it may not be your argument, but i still can't understand how you twist that to be him not being an Airbender.

They're going into depth about the spirituality and philosophy about it because that's the essence of airbending. It's the opposite of what happened to Aang when he first tackled earthbending. Korra is in just about every way the opposite of Aang as a bender, and they're trying to display that and work through the new problems that it creates.

I will mention once again, since you seemingly looked over it last time, that I had forgotten the meaning of the tattoo when I made my original statement.

Yeah he lives on a secluded island, but he's a Republic City councilman. Probably about 40 years old, the Avatar's son, and in all that time never showed one display of airbending? Like I know it may not be your argument, but i still can't understand how you twist that to be him not being an Airbender.


We're talking about a series where a king could be completely unaware he was in the midst of a hundred year war, and where two cultures that despise each other decide to kiss and make up because of a ludicrous and obviously false story told by a twelve year old boy. Forgive me if I see a pacifistic monk and politician successfully refraining from airbending demonstrations as not too farfetched in a children's series that's exhibited previous instances of gullibility.

They're going into depth about the spirituality and philosophy about it because that's the essence of airbending. It's the opposite of what happened to Aang when he first tackled earthbending. Korra is in just about every way the opposite of Aang as a bender, and they're trying to display that and work through the new problems that it creates.


Well, yes, of course. That point wasn't lost on me, I assure you. But...that doesn't invalidate what I was saying at all. Something can mean multiple things or signify multiple points. Everything I've said about possible meanings behind the emphasis on spirituality, etc. doesn't step on the toes of the Aang vs Korra dichotomy they've also been establishing. Or vice versa.

But anyways, I've spent enough time defending a comment I had made having forgotten a two second piece of a scene from the first episode.

As far as we know, Pro Bending is fire/water/earth. Dunno if they will even allow airbending at all, though. It would probably break the game, though, since it's so powerful defensively.
