Earthbending is The Future and The Most Progressive Element in Avatar! 

@Mrs.2Pac/Freddie Mercury But Korra was terrible.

AJ Jones they were comics.

@@88michaelandersen No it wasn't. You're just holding back because of nostalgia

@@trainerkai1313 Korra was terrible _compared_ to the Avatar. If it was a stand alone, it would have been seen as pretty good, but Avatar is literally so much better.

@@alzhanvoidsansado not at all Korra had way better Villains

lishang DEAD 💀 😂😂😂

The world would be more chaotic than how it is right now.

Hell noA

gender bending is real

@@derce140394 tryin to be funny?

That would be really painful.

but then the person would have to be a really skilled sandbender to be able to bend glass

I think glass is too fragile and breaks too easily- lava is almost liquid and is more similar to water than glass.

Earthbenders should be able to bend any element that is native to earth. And since all of earth’s elements can be found in the body, they should be able to blood bend as well. They should be able to cell-bend, molecule-bend. Honestly, they should be the most overpowered.

@@roosahallback2588 Glass can be brittle but is actually very strong, much like crystal can be. Different glass can have different properties and can even be quite flexible.

all metalbenders can do that because metal bending is feeling the rocks in the metal and controlling those tiny rocks

@@sintnorbertusparochie9145 But Toph takes it to another level. It seems because of her blindness and her increase in spirituality she can "see" her family across the world. She connects with the earth and nature. It seems like this is where earth bending could lead to.

Sint Norbertusparochie toph has seismic sense metal benders focus on the rocks/earth in metal

So Toph could literally feel people hundred miles away?

It was also noted in a one of the team notes in the ATLB series that Toph is able to sense earth that isn’t connected to the ground and can easily dodge or redirect those attacks.

NXR Graphics it’s like how water benders r more powerful during a full moon

and boy what a fire blast that was... It looked way more powerful than anything any other firebender had done up to that point. My headcanon for this is that Iroh's spirituality and patience allowed him to connect to the comet in a way that no other firebender could, similarly to how especially spiritual waterbenders draw more power from the moon than just the regular waterbender. We see this in the way he is "charging up" during that scene. I don't think any other firebender alive could stand against Iroh during the comet.

TheGamesforreal Ozai could have, for obvious reasons

@@thegamesforreal1673 Iroh learned the true meaning of fire bending from dragons so his fire bending is a little stronger

@@MandatoryFruit If they fought, Iroh would probably win, then show mercy, then Ozai would probably betray him.

booo

A really big rock

(Laugh in live action movie)

"Without the bender a rock will not throw itself!" -Master JongJong

LOl? THe dragon of the west broke the walls of Ba Sing se... For a Fan you really missed a big point lol... He retreated because of his loss of his son, ... Already forgotten it seems...

Water is op cuz of blood bending if there was no blood bendind it would be pretty weak

@@Hoodoor-ec3fw watch his video on waterbending,

ThesuperDope Xxx TBF, air bending could be just as deadly, just bend the air out of someone’s lungs.

all mindbending..

If u are saying that waterbending is op then hear me out like one dude in comments said air bender could constantly bend air out of you lungs and could kill you and for earth benders they are able to control human because human skin is made of earth substance plus they have best defense against any other element they can just go under ground and attack their enemies

Avatar rozuken (that's the name I gave the fire nation avatar before roku) lava bended volcanos.

I would interpret lavabending as seen by avatars kyoshi, roku, and the unnamed fire nation avatar, as a combination between fire and earth bending. True lava bending wasn’t invented, I feel, until gazan decided to add pressure to the earth he bent to just see what happened and became very skilled with this.

and Avatar Korra is the first metalbending Avatar.

David Morales when you already have an affinity for fire bending, it makes sense that you would be able to apply that to your other abilities. So it’s possible that they weren’t truly bending lava, or that maybe it made lava bending easier for them

Avatar Aang was the first avatar to Energy Bend (Taking away bending).

Platinum can be bended by a skilled metal bender. I think it is announced at LOK comics

@@no.one_lol2055 i don’t even consider Legend of Korea as Canon

@@ssik9460 who cares?

Nobody

@@ssik9460 then shut up

Yea i know that theory and i think it is proven to be true. It is very effective and spiritualy

I agree

Ed Ulysse Chi Blockers!!!

Bloodbending?

@@fduranthesee Uhm Water bending?

I wonder if one day there will be genetic modification around to make all newborn people benders.

@@wasserruebenvergilbungsvirus I thought of a fan theory that started with what would happen, if both light and dark spirits died at the same time? I reasoned it would be the death of all bending and spirits. I believe at the moment, they where originally one being that split into two beings to make the would of avatar. Now to answer you, I believe only the avatars have the ability to give someone bending artificially. But believe if the two spirits become one again, everyone would become a bender.

Thats the next logical step since they're following the process of the avatars which always goes in order. Male Earthbender then Female firebender. Then again Roshi and Aang were male back to back. As long as the series proves to be marketable, Nickelodeon will push for another season. At most i would see them follow this route for 4 series just to balance it out and no more after that. I would also see them settling on the above layout as male earth and female fire to keep diverse balance in the protagonist lineup so everyone is happy.

@@KingRumar i agree w/the avatar line-up, i saw somewhere that the trend is male, female, male, female, male, repeat. So 3 male, then 2 female, according to the revealed recent avatar cycle we see in aangs visions, etc. Which is why roku and aang were dudes back-to-back

I plan on eventually writing fanfictions about an earthbending Avatar. ^^

i knew it dude wkwkw

@@alfianmelodic well yeah, thanks to me

Its also use in malaysia

Wow thanks and that's actually smart

India

I think every element is powerful, for me there's no "most powerful" element^^

To be honest, every single element is powerful. Each having advantages and slight disadvantages.

I like air bending its sp creative

Stewart Fletcher water is the most versatile by far, but earth is pretty powerful

Water bending is overpowered

Julian Thuesdee

The airbenders were blown away

The fire benders were so heated

And the waterbenders became wet. 😂

So punny

@@simonlow0210 The water benders were flushed away.

We need it now

STOP GLOBAL WARMING

@@NoName-qj6of yesss

Plastic bending no plastic in the waters

Pollution gone

We've seen kuriva levitate someone by their metal uniform so yes

Well you are an earthbender. And u can manipulate any form or state of Earth anywhere it's present, even on u,so yeah. Create an Earth suit like Toph did,wear it and you'll fly...

Exactly my question.

Imagine all that earth immediately becoming stiff and rigid... well as a rock. My guess is you would break bones if you bended it the wrong way. It would take tons of precision, skill and training.

or just sit on a slab of earth (or metal, or ice) and bend\levitate it.

... I have to go to the bathroom

Did those guys die?

Blake Bridges they‘re still locked in there until this day i guess

@@PJBJr so Toph has also killed poeple at the young age of twelve.

@@theconductoresplin8092 But can she lavabend?

Differential pressure can also rupture things like human skin; an Airbender could quite readily shred someone to pieces or make them explode simply by moving air away from them, or crush them by shoving large amounts of air towards them.

Airbending could also redirect a lightning by rearranging atoms in the air. Or emulate other bendings, creating a wall of air to hold, for example, water and then shape that wall and with it the water within, like a waterbaloon. Could be done with earth, though it would require significant power. And, if there is already a flame, it could control it's movement and size.

I don’t think air bending has the finesse required to vibrate the air to make a 300 decibel sound. I don’t think they could stop a fire bender either, as the fire comes from within more than from the air around them. They could definitely suffocate someone though, as has been proven.

@@Aplesedjr we are talking about potential. The stories depict air benders as deeply spiritual, so the destructive potential of airbending has only been explored once, with suffocation.

@@nickknife9681 i wonder if they can pull air from within someone's body, can they also put an excessive amount of air inside them and trigger an oxygen poisoning?

Yeah, waterbenders get the moon, firebenders get the sun/Sozins comet. It makes sense that Earthbenders should have the Earth itself. Idk about air tho.

Not to mention Air and that it can bend any other element given it's around Air and enough force from the bender.

jackhappens earth Bender can develope to be A metal bendeing, end there is A metal in your blood right??

Suara Kecil the reason why earth bender can bend metal is because there is earth particles within the metal and there is not earth particles in blood

@DeltroxTv Not every metal

@DeltroxTv in that same scene we see toph use her seismic ability to detect the earth in the metal

Honestly, i love the idea of firebenders being able to manipulate light, i mean, it makes so much sense when you say it. Wish it was in the show...

@@IvanIvanov-mh4uv I'm guessing even if its possible not many firebenders would dedicate themselves to this because you know... it's just light. Only really works for blinding, unless you apply some heat and fire to that light, in which case it becomes slightly brighter fire bending. Pretty lackluster when you have freaking lighting and explosions as alternatives.

@@alzhanvoidsansado light bending may evolve into laser bending I guess

@@alzhanvoidsansado And it could be an art form. Like a way to make diversed shadow theatre. I was thinking of it more as an expansion to the fire nation culture. But if one is a protegie in manipulating light,it could be used to create illusions. And that could add a very interesting dynamic to fights.

@@unicorn1655 also, why not be able to become invisible by manipulating the light?

🤟🏾

And also normally every person wears something made up of metal or stone like a necklace, bracelet or ring . You can literally strangulate a person wearing metal ornaments.

Also huge mech-like armor made from earth or metals

Well other bending types give you telekinesis as well

You can also become a pickpocketer...if you can metalbend lol

Let's not forget dust stepping

Meanwhile it's also a fetish

Lol

Genius!

Lmaoo true af. Peeps be changing their genders on a weekly basis

hello shadmage

I remembered Bolin, Lin and Suyin knocking down a building on Kuvira's giant robot

tbh in ATLA fire bending was so overrated

Totally disagree, it wasn’t nullified at all

@@MattII33 tbh earth bending was kinda just too underwhelming in ALTA. Fire bending was a main focus as the entire plot revolves around it. We seen fire bending having lightning which was amazing, and combustion. Air bending was also very cool since aang was op with it. Water bending had blood bending healing shape change and much more. However Earth Bending would've seemed like trash if it wasn't for Toph.

You must be prepared for anything :)

Hey shut your mouth will ya. It's a forbidden technique, if anyone finds it out then probably even the avatar will cease to exist

Wood bending like hashirama

@@kklohani true, true!

@@kklohani true the avater would be destroyed by cabbage bending

The greatest bender would always be the Avatar. So nah 😂.

@@dw3134 Nope. Number of elements bent aside, Toph was a more talented and skilled bender than both Aang and Korra. Also, Katara was a better Waterbender than both Aang and Korra and I am willing to die on that hill. Avatars have a few unique advantages, but when you just look at things like skill and tactics, there is no reason that the Avatar would always be the best. And I believe that indeed, the shows demonstrate otherwise.

@@Naiadryade Uh, Avatar State. Which grants the Avatar access to all the past knowledge and skills of every single Avatar incarnation in history. It's OP asf.

@@Naiadryade It kinda got nerfed in Korra, but in the context of the original series it pretty much made Aang a bending God, almost completely unstoppable. Aang almost got fucked by Azula only because he wasn't paying attention, essentially.

Cant really say greatest bender period because each element is different and have different purposes plus if anything that goes to iroh seeing as not being an avatar he was able to make techniques by studying other bending styles

You missed Mud. And earth is the only element that can emulate the other 3. Air - sand Water - Mud Fire - Magma

@@wpwesley so far you mean

And you half cold half hot ice and fire

Ya are half avatar

Meteor? That's not even an earth lol

Blood Eagle223 lmao yeah you can basically become an avatar with earth bending. Fire= lava. Earth= Earth. Water=mud and air=those sand tornados in Avatar Aang

wtf you on about

@Sean Francis Waters Lancaster It's not Soziens it's Sozin's dumbass

Kyoshi did that.

Kyoshi has sandbended in the comics

It's still a bit odd. But interesting how they went about it.

@@alexanderrow7643 Yes it definitely is.

just like mother earths progression of different stages through billions of years. whoa

But I'm sure if there were an army of lava benders, the outer ring wall would fall

Metal is like earth earth 😂

Wouldn’t earth + air be dust bending?

Ryan OConnor no

Ryan OConnor i agree no

Urf er , snad Uthr watr, mit Æfr fiur, lava ærth eurf, metal

First time?

U forgot Dust bending whitch is great way to fit through holes hide and escape and in a way to fly. U forgot Crystal bending whitch is terrefying. U can just catch your enemy in a crystal rock and suck him in. U forgot Glass bending invented by Kyoshi in the comics. Imagine someone throwing shards of glass to u and controlling them. Imagine someone sucking u with sand undrrground and turming sand into glass shards. U forgot Fosiles whitch for sure it is a think. There are bones buried whitch have part of earth inside them. Imagine the possibilities. U forgot Mercury whitch just by touching you, becomes deadly. U forgot stonified wood with mudd or small stones in organism whitch Toph uses in Swamp in place of earth to see. U forgot siesmic sense whitch can make u control the terrain better then anyone else and make u a lie detector. And just for something whitch is still a theory whitch i dont usually write: U have may forgotten longitivity whitch Kyoshi may have used to live longer. It has to do with the organism.

@@no.one_lol2055 dust bending is more of a gimmick then anything and its more of a offshoot of sand bending, as actual dust is mostly just human skin and dirt fragments. And its definitely no where near as effective as riding earth bent rocks and platforms. Crystal bending is definitely just a more advanced earth bending technique and though scary if used with the creeping rock candy, its a pretty simple technique any earth bender can use, I'd argue itd actually the least advanced out of all of these sense these crystals can be farmed for candy and sold off rather easily. Glass bending i did forget, but just a quick note, Kyoshi was not the creator of this techinque. Tum Guon was, and the city he created are currently the only users of the technique to this date. Fossil bending, if possible, would work similar to Water bending Vine bending, only more limited as the bones could not be easily replaced or stitched back together due to earth more ridged style. Mercury is bendable yes but it requires a stupid amount of skill and concentration to bend effectively, so its highly unsuited for actual combat, and if its indirect combat then its aseffective as it would be in real life. Fossilized wood and organisms though toph can use to see with (kinda as its still just her seismic sense in the swamp but she can use what is the equivalent of the world tree), she is seen actually bending only mud and rocks, and using only those objects a limited amount if at all, so its doubtful the connection is strong enough to be viable to mention. I actually didn't forget Seismic sense, I did mention it, bout halfway through. Also the lie detector method has been proven in can be fooled rather easily thanks to azula. As for the earth bending longevity, its not really tied to earth bending itself, its just the earth nation citizens are naturallymore long lived then any other nation, and has been mentioned many times, probably having to due with old tribe bloodlines from the first avatars time period

@@Starocean56 Yes true but i can say there may be a lot of possibilities to dust bending. It is like moving wherever u want to an hole area than rather with a stone under your feet. Your opponents cant even see u. And in a master fight it would be so useful to just create a bit and jump hide take control of the terrain. I imagine it with a lot of possibilities at just controling the field to fight better. Sand is the one u can use more of fighting than controling the area and it has a lot of possibilities too. Imagine putting sand to someones body amd you can easily controll their inner organs. There are a lot more possibilities i am not mentioning. You actually right of crystal bending. It can do the same as stone/earth can but i think just the fact u can grow it is a very big plus in fights. This may be good adapted to terreins with not a lot of earth or neither any earth. U can use crystal to replace it. Oh thanks about telling me who invented glass bending. Do u agree with me about it being deadly? Yes fossil bending would be similar to vine bending. But it is more like earth too. It has the possibilities of earth bending but not being controled by your opponent earthbender. I think it would be deadly if an earth bender could apply it inside your body after mastering it with dirt in side the bones but it is more likely not going to happen. Mercury needs a lot of skill but still, we are talking if u are going to master it, it would just be dadly. In combat it would be difficult to use but if able to, u can use it as close as water bending until being able to catch your opponent of guard. Wood with stone in it and mud in it is a thing. It is just like metal in its first form when it got invented. Mabey you are right that it would be difficult to bend as Toph never used it but from just what we have seen in the past, it should be a thing. It is not that it is going to help a lot but still it is an extra thing.

@@Starocean56 pls read my comment i edited it. Not the one u replyed to me but the one undee

@@no.one_lol2055 Well there is also the problem with dust bending that each of the other elements have rather easy, if not super deadly to you counters. Air can just blow it away as it can even blow away sand bending with little effort, Fire could cause a Dust explosion and well that would probably just straight up kill you, and water could catch the dust particles and bend them away by turning them into a substance similar to the sludge from the drill, both benders could manipulate it so yeah. One thing to keep in mind about the crystal bending is what KIND of crystal you are using. The creeping crystal does grow on its own rather quickly yes, but not once has crystal been shown to be forced to grow besides that one particular strain, its just been moved and formed from earth as well so if a master carried alot of this candy it would be scary, for the most part plain earth would be easier and faster to work with for the same effect. Glass bending could be considered deadly, but it takes a bit of time to perform, and its also the least defensive of all the techniques as it can not change its shape after being made and shares the weakness of purity that metal does, without having the ability to reshape it without compromising the strength of the material that metal provides. This pure offensive nature(and/or artisitc) in my opinion makes it the weakest of all the forms, especially sense you need alot fo sand first. And going from rock, to sand, and then to glass would take to long and would only really benefit in a desert, where a sand bender is king already. Honestly if another earthbender faced a "Fossil" bender, they would just shatter the bones with little to no effort, be it by rocks outside or just bending the parts not controlled currently by the Fossil bender and breaking down or forcing out the earth within. Most other nations have a counter as well but we'll cover that another time. Again, while it is highly deadly, even Masters have a super hard time bending it, due to how much it contradicts earth and metal bending in and of itself, due to its liquid and free-form nature. Even toph couldn't due it at her most advanced time without complete undisturbed concentration. Mastering this to use freely would require a lifetime dedicated to it was well as possible study with a water bending master for concepts and forms, and possible many generations of refinement, similar to metal bending and its evolution. Yes, I do know wood and mud mixed with stone are a thing, its not their base thing. Metal is just refined earth and minerals so that's why it works, until you get to platinum and pure glass, which are purified to the point where there isn't enough earth to bend. The wood however would be made of mostly organic material and be almost to pure for earth benders to fully bend. Mud is like the sludge, as its just wet earth so thats why it can be bended.

You wouldn't even need anything that strong. Aang regularly uses airbending to slice huge boulders in half. Human anatomy has nothing on boulders. Any Airbending masters (Of which, apparently they ALL were by the age of 10) could slice people in half, remove limbs and heads, leave huge scores in metal armor and basically ruin everyone's day with a few, literally invisible, wind slashes. Hell, in the episode, Sokka's Master, Aang even explains it'd be cool to have an Air Sword. a literally sword made of air. Yes, that scene was a joke from the producers, but it could still work quite well.

Too much work, I'll just suck the air out of you.

or cause the air in your lungs to expand and rupture @@civilgoalstone6151

NotTheWheel even iroh has a huge respect for earth bending and the earth kingdom

ChrisKooltv yeah, I wonder if Bolin being half fire nation and half earth kingdom made it possible for him to lavabend

No lava bending is molten rocks

Yea with liquid fire you could even say water bending too they're are all mixed into one

maybe thats why lavabending is rare

Nah I think it was just retconned into just earth-bending

firebending is the best coz you can fly, freeze and heat stuff, shoot fire, shoot lightning, move super fast with lightning stepping, lava bend and cut through stuff

@@user-kq7xv7kx1t lava bending is part of earth bending but everything u said an earth bender can do in its way and more effevtivily

Yeah but with waterbending you can bloodbend and even take away other people's bending at will by blocking their chi paths to

@@weareallgonnadie3534 blood bending is extremely rare and taking someones bending away is even rarer but yeah it is op

I'm not saying it's best but it's my 2nd favorite after water and idk why but I find earthbending quite intriguing as it is an element of endless possibilities. It has metal, lava, glass and sand bending and all of these things are the foundation of any industry or kingdom as a whole. Maybe in future we might see earthbenders doing bone bending as both bone n earth have quite same inorganic portion

Where can you rewatch the series? avatar and kora i mean

That's... brilliant.

@Bobby da Costa so showing people fighting with fire or throwing rocks at each other is OK?

I dont think glass is bendable. Since sand can become glass, glass has no impurities like metal, it’s unbendablez

@@AlithAnar there isnt much difference between glass and sand just as there isnt much difference between water and ice. Id say sand/glass bending would be a type of mineral bending discussed.

@@AlithAnar How about ice then?

Ray :D no 😭😭😭 I really miss ATLA.

What? Lavabending has been around for years, as well as sandbending

Roku bended lava and sand nomads but she did do alot.

Célio Vinícius lol that lava bending wasnt as advanced as lava bending in korra. plus sand bending is basically earth bending because sand is legit just rocks LOL

Food Farm yeah but he couldnt make lava with just earth, plus toph invented a way for earth benders to have their own sub class. sand bending is earth bending, nothing much different its just like how water pull water out of plants

Lava bending and sand bending have been around for hundreds of years🤣🤣 did you not watch the show?!😂😂😂

AtarahDerek wow. Metallurgy specialist in the house!!! Props to you!!

I hear the creators originally meant for it to be titanium instead of platinum, but mixed it up and then couldn't fix it in time. Allegedly.

She´s the best bending teacher.

I always attributed that to him being the Avatar. He can control Earth and Fire together so it comes naturally to him. But dedicated earth-benders would need to learn the technique without the ability to fire-bend.

Debopam Seal wow ok that helped a lot thanks for that I never thought of it that way

@@debopamseal1072 Lava has nothing to do with fire, it is much more like water. Remembering that earth + fire ≠ lava

Well she liked Asami over Mako, so she still has taste.

Bolin sort of one ups Toph because he has both metalbending and lavabending under his belt. Maybe he can be the world's first 'molten metalbender'.

Within canon of the show there is no reason for that existing. We see children of different benders and the child always just gets one of them. However it would be dope AF. I would want both water and earth
