actually all of aunt Wu's predictions come true except for possibly the one about Katara's great grandchildren as legend of Korra ends before any of her grandchildren are adults

[@atthecottagestudios3704]

Tbh, I'm leaning towards giving aunt Wu that one because Katara haven't died, and her oldest grandchild has a love interest 😁👍

What was Aunt Wu's prediction about Katara's grandkids?

[@The_Magman]

@@thelaundryman9287she will live long enough to see her great grand children

Good video. One ability you missed is how some enlightened individuals in the Avatar world can live longer than a normal human. For example, Guru Pathik is canonically 150 years old and new monk Gyatsu before the hundred year war. If I remember right, the Kyoshi novels explain that slowed aging can be achieved through a special chi technique. Avatar Kyoshi learns this technique, allowing her to live until she is 230 years old.
You mention athletes/martial artists being able to do feats of strength and speed that normal humans in real life can't. Personally, I also kinda had this fan theory they are able to hone their chi to grant them Captain America level stat boost (enhanced strength, speed, agility, etc.) I know that theory is almost definitely not canon. Like Batman, trained athletes in this fictional world can just do crazy stuff despite having no powers. It's just a little pet theory of mine, for fun.

In the first episode, Sokka mentions the word "magic" to poke fun at Katara. For them to have an idea of magic, that means it also exists in the world and is NOT bending. It's probably an obscure art, since bending is a thing in that world.

wats seemingly just as interesting is magic seems to be apart from not only bending but spiritual arts as well.
which makes you wonder what might empower any magic done in verse if it werent from the spiritual world. tho something could be powered by something else and still be considered different to that thing

[@teodorsimu7107]

very interesting video. this video made me realize how cool the worldbuilding is in Avatar and how well it is created. I realize I haven't noticed these things until now. So a very cool video. I am wainting for more content from you because I subscribed to you.

something i wondered is if energybending works like the other 4 elements as it works so differently and notably seems to be linked to the spirit rather then the body, as spirits are able to use it when they cant use other forms of bending and you can apparent use it in the spirit world even without your physical body, one would also assume it is linked to the chi sense stuff we see them do with the tree, of course not having access to the spirits of pass avatars+raava if someone else were to learn energy bending it would probobly be significantly less impressive, think your basic better control of your body, some super senses, maybe you could like sharpen the chi around you to let your hand act like a blade or at most launching a shockwave for a ranged attack, so still probobly considered inferior to "True" bending in most cases and would likely be considered akin to chi-blocking in that it would be more akin to an exotic form of mundane combat

What about Sparky Sparky Boom Man? Is that considered bending? Because I always saw it as a separate unique kind of power.
