I have wanted to do a theory on Avatar the Last Airbender for YEARS! It is one of my favorite animated series ever and full of SO MUCH to theorize about! It took a while but I have finally figured out what to do - uncover the SCIENCE behind bending. That's right, I am going to figure out how bending works with SCIENCE! Today, we are focusing on Waterbending. Watch out Katara, I may become the best Waterbender in the WORLD after this episode!

The reason Avatar Roku found water bending difficult was because he was a natural fire bender. Fire bending and water bending are opposites like earth and air hence why Ang found earth bending difficult. This opposite element thing is also seen in the actual techniques for the bending like the quick, nimble, dexterous movements of air bending which parallel the grounded, rigid, brute-force earth bending techniques.

Correction: Avatar Roku had trouble with water bending, because it was in direct conflict with the philosophies he was raised with in the Fire Nation. Much like how Earth is resistant to air (and air unyielding to Earth,) water is smooth and subtle, malleable; fire is directly derived from passion and stubbornness. Aang had to overcome overthinking Earth bending, and Roku had to learn to adapt to change, in order to water bend.

@LittIeRoo 2 года назад

whilst i agree with this, also has to do with personal philosophy, like avatar korra, personality wise she'd be a much better fit as an earthbender by nature as she's stubborn and set in her ways, struggling with learning air whilst learning fire and earth with relative ease.

@@ramaziotivegito6853 true…. But there are also bloodbenders and water benders that tap into the water in their opponent’s body, and the bloodbenders virtually torture their opponents, so it wouldn’t be unheard of. However, if they decided firebenders having an ability like this was going too far for a PG film/show, they could make a movie with firebenders able to adjust their opponents body heat and just make it a higher rating if they so please. This way, they can add another fascinating feature and even have an entire movie about this(e.g. main character is firebender and they realise this power and have to decide what to do with it or who to tell or how they feel about this conundrum ect.)

@mennoberga4133 4 года назад

Good video! A few notes from a fanboy: 1. Bending is explicitly stated not to be considered magic in the world of Avatar. In the first episode of the show, Katara gets angry at Sokka for calling it so. 2. Water benders don't fully lose their powers during a lunar eclipse, i don't think. After all, the moon isn't around during the day, but that never seems to be an issue. This can be confusing, since the S1 finale included an event called the Lunar Eclipse, which prevented benders from waterbending. However, in that case, the moon itself straight up died, and had to be reincarnated to be restored. 3. While Iroh invented lightning *redirection* by studying water bending, lightning *bending* itself is not based on waterbending. It's an extremely pure version of firebending, that requires the bender not to use rage as a fuel, which is why so many benders (including Zuko) can't learn it. Lightning redirection has a lower entry bar, since the user only has to understand energy flows - like a waterbender. 4. Finally, Roku didn't struggle with water because water is a particularly hard element to learn. He struggled, because it was the element opposite to his own (fire). Mentality plays a huge role in bending, and Roku grew up as a firebender. We can see Aang struggle similarly with earthbending, as he has an airbender mentality. Korra seems like an exception to this, since she's a water tribe girl who mastered fire quite easily, but that's because she never really thought like a waterbender per say. Instead, Korra struggled with airbending, the most spiritual element, since she was so focused on becoming a better fighter, as opposed to a better person. *[Edit]* Since you read to the end i'll recommend the youtube channel Hello Future Me. It's a guy that talks about principals of storytelling, but he also has a whole bunch of Avatar lore deep dives. I recommend his video on Energybending, which explains some more about bending in general! This concludes my essay lol

@AC - 08JS - Eldorado PS (1505) It seems to have more to do with the anti-element of a given bender's mindset than anything else. Still, Korra is kind of a special case, since she was a noted prodigy with the physical aspect of elements who was bending three different kinds from such a young age (fire included) that she probably didn't really get locked into the "water" mindset. (Each element seems to benefit from a certain mindset in order to operate it; air = grace/evasion, earth = stand your ground, water = flow/change, fire = force/life.)

@JubeiKibagamiFez 4 года назад

@AC - 08JS - Eldorado PS (1505) Legend of Korra doesn't actually go into how hard or easy it was for her to learn Fire Bending. They just sort of glossed over it in one episode. It may have been significantly more difficult for her to learn than earth bending.

Hey Matpat, I’m here from the theorist fan base! Firstly, I would be very excited to see what you come up with about other bending styles if you continue this series, secondly, with more extensive research, you might find that the theoretical Thai-Chi-esk dances the benders do are actually quite rooted in culture and strong belief, as this belief may have originated from spiritual ideology, it could also hold some scientific reality and is quite appropriate to the show and the idea of bending. Though, to my knowledge, there may not have been any real studies done on these rituals, the idea of the motions and practices that are used in the avatar series are believed to possibly allow one to control spiritual energy that can cause the elements to bend to the will of the practicer. Science has prove that you do have energy in your body and you can emit magnetic fields due to this current. And practice has shown that people, according to some, have felt like these rituals have actually made them feel better in some ways relating to energy. They do say that the mind is a powerful thing, could it be possible that these ritual dances are actually able to allow someone to control their electricity in their body? Maybe even manipulate the magnetic fields they produce? Could that then, if learned to be controlled, allow us to manipulate water?

@richardconaway9720 4 года назад

@@cyco5400 plus water is highly dia-magnetic, meaning it's so non-receptive to magnetic manipulation that any such magnetic field would literally bend/attract everything around it INCLUDING the water, there would be no element specific benders if magnetism truly were what was behind bending (we also see benders PULL water toward themselves, which is essentially overriding the diamagnetism of water), and fire is just released energy in the form of ionized air as plasma. so fire bending "might" make sense with the magnet theory as ionization does play well with magnetic fields and in some instances is even the result of localized magnetic fields, but outside of earth and fire a magnetic field driven hypothesis is fairly flawed.

"even avatar roku said that water bending was particularly hard for him to learn" cuz he was born a FIREBENDER

@onigiri2659 3 года назад

That has some correlation, but the real reason was that it was the polar opposite from what he was originally capable. think of it as a born-given talent, you were born with it so that naturally means that you're good at it, but just because you already have one doesn't mean you can learn more. and also, in irl cases, some people have an ability to learn other talents really easily, mainly because they have really good listening skills. and if you rewatch all of Roku's interactions, you'll know that he isn't the type to listen to what his sister says. Sure, he does listen to his master, or does he? In a couple of episodes, we can clearly see him disobeying his master. Roku just isn't the type to really listen. I can prove this by using Aang. Now, Aang IS an Air Bender so that means that he can just learn all of the elements really easily, but even he has a hard time with Earth bending, mainly because of two reasons. One is that Earth Bending is the complete opposite of Air Bending, just like how Water Bending is also a complete opposite of Fire Bending. And for the second reason, he's just really stubborn. you can see him be really stubborn in some episodes. Because of this stubborness is how he has a hard time learning it. The only reason he eventually got the hang of it isn't because of the training he did, but it was because Air is all the other elements weakness, Air could easily control all of the other elements. So in Roku's, and all the other character's case, literally everyone could learn all of the other elements in the show. It's just because that the elements are weakened by other elements on the table. But that's just a theory, A MICRO THEORY. AND CUT. (you get it? Like the film theory thi- ok, I'll leave)

Utsubyō Nikorasu okay so the first part: yes, that’s the point i was trying to make by saying that he’s a firebender, water is his opposite so it’s especially hard for him to learn. secondly, i don’t actually remember roku’s sister or really much of his master, although i could just be forgetting things? thirdly, ya aang had an especially difficult time with earth bending because it’s the opposite of air bending. that’s why he was stubborn. water and fire came so easily to him, so the second he couldn’t just effortlessly do something, he lost all momentum and faith in himself and was convinced that he’d never be able to do it (similar as what happens to kids in gifted programs who grow up believing that they’re smart and things coming easily but not developing a good work ethic because of this so when they don’t immediately understand something, it’s shattering). as for your last points, i don’t get what you said about airbenders being superior and uhhh are you saying that anyone could learn all the elements? cuz nope just the avatar has that ability as per the show’s canon. good comment though, i enjoyed reading and responding
