      Not necessarily, if some Airbenders were exiled to the fire nation, they wouldn't want to show their Airbending.

      @@godstenrules That isn't what the OC said.
      1. Not sure why you brought up the Nazis. I see where you are pulling the comparison, but its unrelated to the OC.
      2. Aang would have had fun having the opertunity to teach her Airbending. That is the statement the OC is making. And probably entiearly valid considering Aangs personality.
      Though it should go without saying that this would only happen in the event that Ty Lee joined their gang like Zuko did. Granted, she didn't and so far IU, there isn't a hard confirmation that she is an airbender. Hense why its just a fan theory.
      3. It is also worth noting that when they talk about the Airbenders being in Exile, that is not to say that they were cast out of their home by their own people. As the video suggested (but didn't discuss much), after the fall of the temples, many probably would have fled into other kingdoms to find safety. Discarding their traditional clothing to blend in. Covering theit tats. Etc. They are technically living in Exile, away from their homeland for safety. Some, also as the video suggested, would probably hide under the very nose of the Fire Nation itself. And while it is not discussed directly in the video, the Fire Nation Elite interests in the Air Nomadic Lifestyle may have also created sympathizers within the Fire Nation Ranks that could also have helped some benders suvive the genoside. Which in turn can lead to couples and Fire Nation Elities having kids who would have airbending potential.
      So far, we havent seen anything that suggests its impossible to hide ones bending and we havent seen anything with people bending uncontroable because they lack training. So, without training and growing up in the Fire Nation, Ty Lee could very well be an Air Bender who is just unaware of her herritage.

    I’m pretty sure in Kyoshi’s books her mother was an airbender that lost her ability to airbend. Since airbending is so heavily tied to spirituality when she lost her connection to that she just stopped bending. I think most airbenders would’ve done the same to just assimilate. It happens to a lot of refugees/immigrants rejecting their old cultures to join the more dominant one.

      @Gladeous it MIGHT work if TyLee conceived Pema at the right age. Pema was around 35 in the show and Tenzin was 51. Tenzin was born in 119 AG and Pema in 135. In Season 1 of Korra, Jinora was 10 meaning they likely were married when Tenzin was 41 and Pema 25.
      Now, Ty Lee was 14 during the final year of the war, which would put her at 49 when Pema was born. So while it’s possible, it’s usually unlikely, but with Katara being a healing master, she probably helped a lot of her friends births go smoothly and heal the womb faster.

    Those kids that were born to bend air were told not to use there abilities so over the course of the year's air bending became obsolete until harmonic convergence unlocked the abilities of those who were already descendants of Air Nomads finally bringing back balance between the four elements.

    And what you can add is, that many people in the legend of Korra woke up after harmonic convergence with sudden airbending powers, without knowing about anything about that earlier.
    and I think, that something like that can't come from nothing. They probably had roots from some air nomads, but didn't know about them and thus also not knowing, that they could airbend or that this power is somewhat hidden and hard to access in their genes / heritage. And considering, that Ty Lee as well as the air nomads has brown eyes and not orange ones like the people from the fire nation, also speaks in favor of this theory.

    Ty Lee attended the Royal Fire Academy for Girls, where she met Azula and Mai. She's 100% part of the elite, kinda ridiculous if anyone thinks otherwise. Given her hair and eye colour, plus her movements, I'd say Ty Lee was always intended to be an Air Nomad descendant. But that doesn't make her an air bender.
    Most of the temples have little damage, which would be odd if they were all attacked during Sozin's comet. It's more likely the major groups were killed, then the 'few' that Zhao mentioned was probably a lot larger percentage than he thought. The air nomads aren't exactly a big group after all, so even catching a hundred in those traps is probably double digits percentage of their population. The remaining went to ground, with the ones who tried to pass on their air bending being far more likely to get caught. After a century, those who still practiced were weeded out, leading just descendants, many of whom were probably unaware of their origins.

    I've personally squared the circle this way; Aang was the last Air Bender, i.e. The Last Practitioner of the Art of Air Bending by the last year of the War. However, there were lots of people with Air Bender ancestry, perhaps some with the knack for Air Bending but who's powers have remained latent and stunted as a result of no one being able to teach them, no one is going to pick up a guitar without knowing how it works and become Eddy Van Valen, no matter innate talent for music, you will pick up that you can play it like a harp, perhaps you'll learn how to tune it, even learn that by pressing down on the frets you can get different pitches, but no one man can invent everything, add to that, that there is a hostile power that wants to kill guitar players.
    So yeah, I think the Air Nomads assimilated into the other nations and stopped practising air bending so as not to draw attention from the Fire Nation.

  • @LindsayTVFilm
    @LindsayTVFilm ปีที่แล้ว +116

    Even if a few air benders had suppressed their powers and assimilated into the other nations, Aang is still more likely than not the last Air Bender whose blood line would more than likely trace back to the first air benders Wan met all those years ago. No one probably has more than 10% Air Nomad ancestry outside of Aang's immediate descendants (Kya/Bumi/Tezin 50%; Ikki/Melo/Jinora/Rohan 25%). I think most of the new air nation in Korra (especially from season 3 on) are probably more static as they probably have a primary address at one of the 5 temples from which they are sent out on peace keeping missions or whatever from. Relics could possibly hint at that the original 4 temples were more or less schools and that there could be settlements (even if they lack permanent residents) marked with the traditional markers as seen in expanded lore, maybe some acolytes and benders might live out there now to aid travelers by offering shelter and resources for little or no cost (because upkeep or orphans or something)

    I would say, whether or not Ty Lee was an air nomad, it was likely that Aang was not the last air nomad. That said, he most likely WAS indeed the last air bender. Air bending is a very spiritual art, so people that don't know they have the ability would likely never unlock it unless they happen to also be a fan of air nomad history and philosophy like Zaheer was. Kyoshi's mother, a master airbender, almost lost her airbending when she turned to a life of crime. If an airbending master's abilities can wane that much without the spiritual connection, I doubt an untrained person could do anything without a spiritual connection.

Yeah it's probably only 2 generations from when they were still alive but if the surviors tried their best to not use it and had kids they most likely would not teach them to protect them right there the first generation after Aang wouldn't know from there one or more generations (by the time of the show) and even if your grandma was an actual Air nomad you would probably never know you could likely have that gene active.

    I doubt she's an Airbender but that doesn't mean she can't be a descendent. If you think about Korra's Harmonic convergence, a bunch of non benders suddenly became benders. Where do you think that ability came from? Airbenders likely slowly blended into society and therefore their bending became dormant in their descendants as being an Airbender was a death sentence. Chances are, all the people you see who became Airbender were descendants

    Another theory : Just like the other nations have citizens that aren't benders, it could be that a large number of air nomads weren't airbenders. Those that were got sent to the temples for training, but the rest lived a nomadic lifestyle. When the purge began, there may have been air nomads that got caught like in the vid, but the rest could have lost their identities as air nomads, settling down in villages and hiding their roots. Aang could be the last airbender, but there could be descendants of air nomads, and amongst them could be people capable of air bending but not knowing they can or who could teach them.

    airbending as other elements requires at least a certain lifestyle or mindset. Korra struggled to learn airbending despite it (airbending) being in her. Same with Aang learning earthbending. So it'd be no surprise if all airbenders in Earth kingdom have no idea about being benders. It's pretty cool how bending is connected with the culture, mindset and personality.

    Also in legend of Korra we learned about the spiritual importance of air bending. The air nomads had one of the highest percentages of benders to nonbenders because of how spiritual they are as opposed to other communities like The Earth Nation having a higher rate of humans compared to benders because of how disconnected they were. It’s perfectly possible that there are people with air nomad ancestry who are not benders because they are not spiritually connected with the culture. Ty Lee is pretty obviously racially air nomad. She can’t bend, but she is way more agile than a human. It makes perfect sense that she has air nomad in her genetics.

    I have this head canon of my own that all of the people that we see gain airbending in LoK, are distant descendants of the air nomads that survived the initial massacre at the temples that don’t already have the bending powers of another nation’s element (most likely Earth) as the remaining nomads would’ve blended in with the other nations and in many cases, would’ve settled down and had kids with non-air nomad peoples. That is why so many of the airbenders in LoK are originally from the Earth Kingdom. I also think that it’s no coincidence that Bumi of all people happened to become an airbender too. I think Ty Lee could be one of those descendants, even if she’s a citizen of the fire nation.

    Actually in the legends RPG book Ty-lees great grandmother was Sozin’s sister thus Ty-lee isn’t possibly partially air nomad descended but she’s actually also Azula’s cousin, which is the hidden double irony, (add the series 2 harmonic convergence if stuck in an time/ space dialation scenario , like with the magic the gathering card game time spiral era and things would get even WEIRDER)….
    Why? Ty-Lee’s grandmother married an air Nomad, which answered the how did Sozin’s forces get into the air temples Easy : Sozin had made alliances with banished and Rouge air nomads , because another rouge monk was from the TCG card game Named “Afriko” the Ill wind , so Since Sozin’s sister had an air Nomad husband, Sozin didn’t want his own sister being against his Rule apparently, hence he avoided Death by ironic twist based events….

      1-. Sometimes being born or gaining bending of any type is based on genetics, so in that earth bending families with an hidden air nomad ancestor gained air bending after harmonic convergence, so if sozin,s sister was in an deep friendship with the temples various monks and nuns and then as it's rumored in Canon having had been in an deep relationship with an air nomad and since the fire nation of Yu-Dao had people whose grandparents hid their air nomad relics/ possessions including their novice monk clothing, it's highly logical that this wasn't just isolated to only the earth kingdom people inter-genetically breeding or having relationships with air nomad survivors of the temples that if not banished from the temples and were only willing to help sozin get into the temples in order not to be killed outright, which is the most likely reason that people based on sozin's sister being in an relationship with an air nomad , is in this theory one of the reasons ty-lee doesn't have the eye colors or additude of her fellow fire Nation female counterparts....

    Good video overall, however, I would say it is actually quite probable that the vast majority of The Air Nomads were at the Air Temples when The Fire Nation attacked for one likely reason, The Autumn Equinox. This is because each of the bending elements is tied to one of the four seasons, the season for Air being Autumn, and The Air Nomads, being a deeply spiritual race, not to mention the only nation consisting entirely of benders, would have likely for this reason considered The Autumn Equinox to be a holy day, perhaps even their most holy day. It is for this reason that I hypothesize that the nation's citizens potentially congregated at the temples for the festivities, and not only that, but since they were an egalitarian people, most of them would have been expected to be there days in advance in order to help set everything up. As Sozin's Comet is known to show up at the end of every 100th Summer, this, for the reasons above, actually would have put most of the Air Nomads there during the attacks. Despite all of this however, the mysticism of Nomad theology should have pointed to The Great Comet as it was then called being the moment at which the war would begin, as, given their probably vast knowledge of The Heavens, they SHOULD HAVE known that a comet was coming and cancelled the festival. My guess is they tried, but the Air Nomads were proud of their disconnectivity with the mundane trapping of the world, such as politics, and probably just paid it no heed. At least a few of The Air Nomads did survive, as is evidenced by when dozens of nonbenders, their descendents, became Airbenders after Harmonic Convergence in The Legend of Korra. Also, as much as I like the idea of Ty Lee being an Airbender, the events of LoK basically stated that that was the first time in over a century that Airnomads who did not descend from Aang existed again, so I highly doubt it unforchunately.

      Fire Nation and Air Nomads were super close friends at the time though. Even Roku never thought Sozin might go that far until Sozin attempted to assassinate him - and only partially failed, Roku died soon after. It’s unlikely that the Air Nomads in general considered the Fire Nation to be a serious threat.
      Some like Gyatso obviously suspected something, but that’s hardly enough to cut off such a celebration, especially when Gyatso had so little control even over Aang’s growth.
      Nonetheless it seems likely Ty Lee is probably heavily influenced by Airbender movement styles. Heck, it’s practically confirmed by the RPG book directly associating Chi blocking with Airbending, and then making that an influential movement in the Fire Nation during Roku’s life.

So, I think what happened is Ty Lee's ancestors might have escaped the genocide, detached themselves from air nomad rituals to avoid death, made money to survive through the circus and overtime, lost their abilities and their descendants airbending capabilities.

I assume just assume the bending just quietly got snuffed out over generations of non use. Plus apparently airbending especially can be damaged by spiritual/mental conflict. One nomad almost completely lost her bending after becoming a bandit. Hiding among the people that killed their families might have caused such an inner conflict that they lost touch with their bending.
    After that the constant propaganda against their own people couldn't have been good for the descendents spiritually.

    If would be fun if we can get an alternate timeline where Aang and Ty lee end up together both have great personalities and since Ty lee having Air Nomads Aang could have produce more air bending children

    i always imagine guru pathik wouldve been an airbender, he was close friends with monk gyatso and seemingly knew a LOT about airbemders and airbending

    Just look at the color of their eyes, that gives a hint as to what type of bender they could be. Airbenders have gray eyes, water benders have blue eyes, earth benders have green eyes, fire benders have a reddish brown eye color.
    There are plenty of characters throughout the series that have gray eyes, the most common actually appear in the episode where Aang pretends to be a fire nation student. A lot of the children at the school have gray eyes which would indicate that they have airbender ancestors. Even though Ty Lee could have airbender ancestors she has the reddish brown eye color of the fire nation. The creators of Avatar the Last Airbender we're very consistent in making sure that the eye color matched the bending style. Because of this, I don't think she was actually an airbender, just a well trained acrobat/chi blocker...but that's just my personal opinion.

      But she did have grey eyes. They may of had a brown pigment but they were definitely grey for the most part

      @@ethanmutrie7301 I disagree, I rewatched the clips and looked up some more myself and she always seems to have the same brownish red color that I had mentioned not really any hint of grey unless the lighting in the scene was different. Even then, it's still not even comparable to Aang's gray eyes.
