The Last Airbender thread ***SPOILERS***

[Guyshane]

This is a general discussion thread about Avatar: The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra. Feel free to post anything related to the series, such as opinions, thoughts on episodes, preferred style of bending and updates on Legend of Korra.

[Victin]

I must say I think I need to rewatch the first Avatar while Legend of Korra doesn't have a new season. I was younger so I didn't pay much attention to it, until it was almost over. Then, after it ended, I realized how good it really was, and it seemed even better when Korra came. So yeah, I'm sure I should rewatch it.

[Pixelmage]

So, I'll state the question that we all are thinking about... Which kind of bender would you be if you were in the setting? Or would you be a non-bender?

What? Who? Me?

That one will come up later, I'm sure... XD

[narrativedilettante]

I'd totally want to be an airbender. I mean, airbenders can FLY. (With the right tools, but still, FLYING.)

...Of course, other benders can manage to fly too, depending on how they use their skills, but I'd rather fly the airbending way.

[Guyshane]

I'd be an Earthbender. Not only is the base bending absurdly powerful with the right mindset, you have like 2-3 other things you can bend

[SpiritfChaos]

I would go with waterbending, mainly for the healing/human puppet aspects.

[IslaKariese]

I'd be a waterbender, but more because water's my element personally. And for the healing, but that's just a bonus.

If I had to pick a culture, though, I think I'd prefer the Earth Kingdom. What about you all?

[Lordxana0]

Fire Bender. Burn it all baby BURN IT ALL!

Also they were the most technologically advanced.

[RotavatoR]

I'd really like eartbending, cause it's so damn POWERFUL.
Plus you can build stuff from solid rock

Also, for the curious: Doug from That Guy With The Glasses is reviewing EVERY episode of Last Airbender. So that's cool :3

Oh, and could you please mark any spoilers of Legend of Korra? For the people who've only seen Last Airbender (like me >_<)

Ok, so a little update about the reviews from Doug:
- He didn't mind the episode The Great Divide (generally the most hated episode) too much, but the reveal of the lie at the end really bugged him.
- He likes the characters so far, and he notices that Sokka has also developed as a character.
- He likes how even when the themes of the episodes seem done to death, the show does something different with them.
- The only episode that he didn't like so far was Bato of the Water Tribe.
- He noticed Azula in one episode and is wondering when he will see that character again.

He's probably going to watch the finale of the first season this evening, and I'm really curious how he reacts to Yue dying, the Koizilla and Azula coming into play.

Also, not related to the reviews
What would you do with any bending powers, outside of using them for fights?

Flying, of course.

...Ok, let me rephrase that
What kind of creative use would you have for your bending powers

Flying with any bending that isn't air.

[IslaKariese]

Ice sculptures with water bending. Glass with fire and earth bending.

[SpiritfChaos]

Breathe underwater and build Atlantis. And then punch Aquaman in the face.

[Endless Sea]

Waterbending would be good for purifying water and cleaning stuff in general.

[Sicon112]

Use waterbending to pick locks.

[Guyshane]

Use waterbending to pick locks.

All styles of bending have ways to subvert locks, water and air could just pick locks, fire could melt locking mechanisms, and earth...would knock down the door

okay maybe not earth Edit: No wait I forgot metalbending

[Pixelmage]

Build a Waterbending-Fueled Turing Complete machine.

What?
