Avatar: The Legend of Korra - Book 4

Official Trailer from Nick

Zuko sighting!

Impressive trailer

Old Man Zuko! I look forward to that!

The Air Nomads got one hell of a population spike. That tease of Bumi being an airbender. Relationship between him and Tenzin is bound to be more awesome

Kya is putting in work. Interested in ho badass she is in combat.

I wonder how there are so many benders now. I’m guessing bridging the two worlds together did that. In any case, looks interesting. I hope they have a steadier plot for season 3 without a backtrack in character development for Korra.

Thanks. Finally catching up on them.

Well the world modernized. Its been a shitload of benders since Season 1. But the level of skill in the benders has went down. For example, every firebender can lighning bend, but like 1% can redirect it.

Oh I was thinking more about airbending. But, yeah I agree with you on season 1.

My nigga Zuko…

I wonder who that young air bender is they kept showing.

Talking with my brother some moments ago, we were wondering why earth benders have not learned yet how to control their enemies with ā€œcarbonā€ control, after all we have seem them bending carbon as is were earth
Is air bending, gas bending?
Fire bending what does really control? Energy?

I remember reading somewhere that firebenders convert their body heat into fire. It’s why they don’t need an external source like the other bending arts.

Asami just pulled out some form of running Frankensteiner and Kya took down a plane with waterbending.

yeah firebending is the energy within. Remember in ATLA when they went to that prison and all the firebenders were in that chamber with all that ice so they couldn’t bend fire

Tbh I think it’s less about body heat/energy and more about their breathing. It’s most likely the cold air that stopped them. Remember thats all Iroh talked about.

The breathing thing was an exercise to get Zuko to not fuck up lightning. Creating lightning involved mixing positive and negative energy and using yourself as an outfit to let it out once it’s ready to burst. Internal conflict which Zuko had in shapes would make bending lightning a bitch.

But having fucked up breathing is a huge factor as well. Which is why they pumped cold air into their cells. You cant take good beaths/remain calm being in a freezer for days. Fucks with their ā€œinner fireā€/motivation.

They’re showing the ATLA series finale on nicktoons right now. Man the bending on this show was awesome

Cool that there are more airbenders. It was too sad and gloomy that there was only one small family in the world that could do airbending. This should restore balance.
There was also a woman who apparently can shoot fire from her forehead, like that guy from ATLA show. And that stump woman gave herself arms with water!

Honestly, best not to think about it as any system based on the 4 classical elements will break down when you look into it too closely.

Besides, we all know the real reason for the elements.

[details=Spoiler]At the end of it all, Korra will discover heart bending and turn herself into Captain Planet.

Our conversation was more about trying to apply (aka overthinking) what they actually do to bend their elements
Like Airbending is limited to what exactly, N, O, etc or any kind of gasses, which lead us to theorize if they could end Plasma Bending?

What kind of metals can metal bending bend? Like, do they can bend Gold?
If their bend is more mineral oriented, does this mean that they can end Carbon Bending the human body (we saw on the ATLA that they can actually bend the carbon that the fire nation had on their ships)

If Fire bending can create fire without fuel does this mean that they actually bend energy? After all they also can do electricity out of nowhere, this could mean that they could end bending light for example.

… Yeah we have this kind of dumb conversations all the time about random stuff, overthinking and all of that…

I think firebending is more like bending heat and causing things to reach their burning point or turn into plasma (which is technically, what fire and lightning are).
