I think that what happened was similar to what happened to the earth queen, supposedly Gyatso was completely cornered so he took all the air out of the room, killing everyone in it including himself
@@mikemurphy6927 If the situation is Gyatso being surrounded by firebenders, then he could create a ball of vacuum (starting from his position), expand it until all soldiers are caught in it. These firebenders can't burn Gyatso in that situation since fire won't get through that vacuum due to lack of burnable air. As for why the firebenders died of suffocation first before the monk himself (who was first trapped within the vacuum), there are studies showing that people living in high altitudes have better lung capacity than the ones on lower altitudes due to their environment having less oxygen. So yes, Gyatso can hold his breath longer than the firebenders attacking him, who are by the way spending their breath to firebend. Additionally, vacuum creation would be an OP sub-style to airbending that could subdue opponents fast (by making them grasp for air), and possibly other utilities such as soundproofing. In theory, it could be airbending adapting earthbending disciplines as the bender has to hold the vacuum space for as long as necessary. *Long, annoying fan theory over*
@@xian3571 I'm pretty sure a vacuum would kill anyone regardless of how long you can hold your breath. I may be wrong but I think the difference in pressure would cause Gyatso's and the firebenders lungs to burst.
I like the theory that some air benders survived and hid out in the earth kingdom. Over time, air bending stopped being passed down in families bc of genetics or because of the lower levels of spirituality. The people who gained air bending from harmonic convergence were their descendants.
Some airbenders did survived and hid somewhere but the firenation lured them to some mountain with airbender relics and killed them. It's in the comics. Zhao did the same strategy with Aang
You know it’s disappointing to me how they never explored air nomad culture. Two big questions to remain about pre-genocide culture. 1Why are they nomads if they just need to stay at the air temples? To me the Air nomads would need to have been traders and messengers to pay for the things they couldn’t make at the air temples. 2. Where do the nomads get there baby’s, through adoption, marriage, or casual relationships, and are parents forced to give up their kids?
While there are no direct answers, there is a bit of info about each of these. 1. Not all of the air nomads were at the air temples. Many of them actually traveled the world after they finished their training, and it's also one of the reasons why not all air nomads were killed immediately after the attack done by the fire nation. 2. This one is a bit harder to answer, but if I would have to take a guess considering what we saw in the series, it' s most likely that there are relationships, maybe even marriages, but the kids are growing up without parents, and instead monks as a whole train and teach them
1. Being nomadic in this context I think means that they are not focused to a territory, sovereign, or state. As their domiciles are called "temples" because they don't intend to rule as they just utilize a space and nature to support their life and spirituality. Probably in Wan's era, the airbenders really lived more nomadic life like what you expected because they searched for foods instead of cultivating them like in Fire Nation or Earth Kingdom, but in the recent world, it probably counts as trespassing a country/kingdom's border as during Aang's time it is still segregated. So their locations are probably result of other elements as Air elements "go with the flow". Just like Water, they just need their environment to support their life flow. 2. Yes, monks are not supposed to have intercourse (detachment from earthly desires) but it does not mean nomads (they are still humans) do not reproduce. Buddhists (or in Avatar's case, just regular airbenders) today can still marry and have children. It's the lust and the greed that comes from sex are what make it hard to achieve spirituality. Beside, there is a concept of rebirth in Buddhism, which is the large basis of the Airbending philosophy and teaching so at certain level, intercourse is a way to ensure the teachings live on and fit the rebirth concept. High spirituality can either ensure your next life as human in a better condition (that allows easier environment to achieve spirituality) or even not being rebirthed at all. If all airbenders are abstinent, or able to achieve their spirituality goals, then we would not have gotten the cycle of Avatar.
@@brandonfoley7519 its probably like ten thousand or more since air nomads they have the smallest population of benders and they cant over populate their temples because were else would they live?
You forgot to mention that Avatar Yangchen established an air nomad ritual among her people to pacify the spirits that threatened to destroy human settlements
What ritual was that? If you mean the one with General Old-Iron that was no pacifying of anything since they didn't use force (military or others). She just made a diplomatic deal to have an event, like a picnic, in honor of the spirits and the land.
Tom Vrabec yeah yanchen made a statue of the spirit the general loved and made a tradition where air benders would go through a ritual each year when they go to the statue
Aang says to Katara that all he needs now is an air-sword. When Katara asks what that is, he said it’s a handle with a hole that he airbends a blade into
Lincoln McCallum I think in that situation they’d either A:give them to a non bender family B: seek out air nomads who have left the air nomad life who live on the ground C: maybe just stay on one of the more non bender accessible Temples for the entire part of their lives D: YEET THE CHILD
The air nomads probably suffered the hardest in the entire series,haven't been driven to complete Extinction and an end to come back after over a hundred and seventy years when people is probably had it the roughest of all the 4 Nations.
"Air bending is not fueled by anger. it is fueled by peace" tenzin says Aang like 60 years earlier when appa was kidnapped: AAAAAARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH DIEEEE GIB ME APPA ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
If aang was killed by the fire nation, would there have been another airbending based avatar(after 4 avatars) or would air bending seize to exist? Also if Aang was killed would Korra(avatar after aang) try to master air bending from flying bison like the first benders did or would she and the rest of the world accept that air bending would be extinct
People probably would’ve written it off as extinct. However, I’d like to speculate that harmonic convergence would’ve still caused new air benders to emerge regardless of the practice having previously gone extinct
No. Whenever an Avatar dies, the next one in the cycle is born. An Avatar is only in danger of becoming extinct if he/she is killed in the avatar state. So to answer your question, if Aang was killed, then a new water tribe Avatar would be born hence, why Katarra’s mother died as they took/killed all water benders in the south. To answer the second, Korra wouldnt even exist. Aang created republic city and because of him, the war stopped. If he would have died, chances are that the fire nation would have invaded/conquered most of the world. Additionally, Korra was born much later so if he would have died at a young age, she wouldnt have been the avatar.
@Ruby Rembiszewski that doesn't make sense. if aang had died in the invasion of the air temples, the next avatar would've been born instantly after aang's death. katara is born 84 years after the genocide.
I think since it’s a reincarnation cycle that no human has control over, there would probably be an air bender born to non bender parents, especially if some air nomads left the temple and had families and they were decedents. Remember the nonbenders inhibiting one of the air temples? Aang said that the boy who was paralysed from the waist down (I don’t remember his name) had the spirit of an air bender, maybe hinting he was a decent of air nomads. Maybe that spirit would be passed down to his children, and then after four cycles his decedents could be air benders. There would eventually be a new air bender regardless of the genocide they faced.
@@TheFikri136 I believe Hama just discovered Bloodbending, it was not well known. Amon come from a family of bloodbenders. They are a Linage so they had much more knowledge of Bloodbending because each generation before Amon worked on it. There is chance other people discovered they can blood bend before during the Full moon, but most likely kept it as secret
Air bending is one of the most lethal Element. Monk gyatso defeated 15-20 firebenders during Sozins comet. 15-20 firebnders power was equal to 100-150 during sozins comet.
I'd say air bending is the second most powerful next to waterbending because with air bending you can literally suck the air out of someone with waterbending you can control them using blood bending
@@mmmmm_monke55 i agree with you but think about it korra defeated blood bending without avatar state, that means every human have potential of defeating blood bending, but air bender also can blow up apponents lungs
Imagine an air bender who is willing to attack and defend as much as any other bender of the other nations. They would arguably be the most dangerous benders in the world, as like the fire benders, they aren’t inhibited by whether any water or earth is within range of them. They could form intense tornadoes or theoretically hurricanes, there exists air swords in the canon already that could tear someone apart. They could probably even REMOVE the air around their enemies which would especially devastate firebenders, and if they took some tips and tricks from Sariel in the seven deadly sins manga/anime they could make air spheres around themselves that would shave projectiles and people coming towards them. Obviously these wouldn’t be easy feats to master but their potential is insane. We’ve even seen if willing they have the power to fly as effortlessly as bison.
You forgot to mention Afiko, the betrayer of the air nomads: Afiko, known as the Betrayer, was an airbender from the Southern Air Temple. he grew jealous when Aang's identity as the Avatar was announced. Envious, Afiko betrayed his people by revealing the temple's location to the Fire Nation, after which the country's army raided it during the Air Nomad Genocide. Made notorious by this betrayal, Afiko was charged with treason in 5 AG and later executed by decree of Fire Lord Sozin.
Air and earth was always my favorite elements in the show because of how resourceful they are. I have been doing martial arts since I was 11 and a few years when I discovered what the martial arts the bending styles are based on, I implemented those styles to my own martial art skills.
I said I implement the martial art styles that are the elements are based off of. Like air is based on the martial Ba Gau and I love implement ba gau in the martial arts that I know
Air is just gaz, so it's not that resourceful. Fire is much more like heat, and superheated objects like lava can be used. Then water is steam, liquid, or ice, as well as in blood. The most resourceful is earth, with earth, stone, the stone in metal, maybe even in bones, lava, sand, mud.
That moment when you realize Jinora beat her grandpa in being the youngest airbending Master. EDIT: If you think that this comment was in any way some weird attempt to say that one show (ATLA or LOK) was superior please move along. I like both, and was just making a note of something.
Ikr? At least Aang made sense in the story that he was a master at a very young age, he was the Avatar. Jinora was a master because fuck you. The creators of the show can't just stop themselves in making terrible decisions.
I don't think Jinora being a very young master is that big of a conflict as every kid or grandkid of th team avatar seemed to be very skilled in their bending which makes sense since their parents were a highly skilled masters. Plus you do get the kid prodigy thing like with Azula, or Aang or even Toph. So I find this aspect one of the least strange in Korra.
@@chrisp.9385 Yes but l would be in the air temples in my childhood years till my avatar training was over and then keep the world peaceful from all of the dangers.....
Airbenders and airbending is so underrated. When my friends and I play avatar everyone wants to be fire bender or the other nations. Sometimes my friends who chose air often got teased or called lame because they're airbenders... 'Tis a shame indeed.
Actually I dont think there can be much to say about flying... It was created by Guru Laghima thousands years before ATLA And TLOK And as I knew he spent his last 40 years of life not touching the ground. Zaheer was a very talented air bender He was able to show people that flying wasn t just a myth and he wasn t even an airbending master. So that s all i think you can say about flying since there s not to many informations in the show or comics
DeSTroYeR yeah I know all of that I’m just saying like all the other elements that have up grades earth which have two being Metal and lava with fire lightning,water blood bending now air flight
i’ve always found zaheer’s flight ability too contradicting for comfort. he achieved this extremely uncommon ability just after getting airbending, and certainly did not receive any spiritual training or guidance within air nomad culture. he did independently learn some of their traditions, but i don’t think that should suffice whatsoever. he might have been a good bender and attuned to the spirit world, but these traits should not have been enough. 🙈
I real loved this show as a child. I never missed an episode in 2006; I rewatched it on Netflix which I do not regret it and the quality was much better. I just wish that they added more seasons to the show instead of making the Legend of Korra , honestly we would have like 6 season and continuing.
8:15 That disadvantage from airbending, can be easily be overcome by stop being peaceful (he can still be spiritual like Zaheer and don´t lose power). Unlike the other bendings, airbending has practically 0 disadvantages, it only has restrictions imposed by the bender himself
I had this theory, we all know what happened in the ep. The Storm and it's just like how Aang got himself and Appa in an iceberg. In the storm ep the avatar state activated bcs he's in genuine danger and at that time Aang didn't know how to control it yet. Then he created an airbubble (i think) and get them out of the water and flew of to the eye of the storm. Why didn't he/the avatar state/the past avatars did the same when the same thing happened with him and Appa a 100 years ago? I think because they knew Aang wouldn't survive against the fire nation at that time and it would be too risky if he fights them all without knowing how to bend the other 3 elements and just rely on the avatar state, cause you know if they're killed in the avatar state the cycle would end, so instead they/he just froze himself and Appa and wait until the right moment.
Nice videos! I've been binge-watching them en masse, haha. One small bit of feedback is the red border around the thumbnail sometimes makes me think I already watched the video because I'm confusing the red border for the red TH-cam progress bar. Anyway, keep up the great work!
The amount of people watching this just shows how much this series is loved. I mean it was years ago but people still click on videos like this hahaha this show sure is remarkably good, i mean im even rewatching it now hahaha
The lack of fatel finishing attacks? Well one is enought and suffocating someone in a vacuum seams pretty fatal. But because they are usually peacefull thats just not a thing they would do
I was just wondering, there are 4 states of matter (originally 3 until Plasma got added). There is Solid, Liquid, Gas, and Plasma. Then there are 4 General Types of Bending. There is Earthbending, Waterbending, Airbending, and then Firebending. What if this signifies that a type of Bending can manipulate it's respective state of matter. Like Plasma for Firebending since Fire and Lightning's state of matter is Plasma, Solid for Earthbending because obvious reasons, Liquid for Waterbending and Gas for Airbending. This could open up so many possibilities especially for Firebending, if Azula was able to pack a ball of energy using Lightning Manipulation in the comics, what if someone goes farther beyond and creates an Ion Energy Sphere and Laser out of there hands? They'll basically become a walking Plasma Cannon.
That's make sense. But i think to achieve those crazy technique, the benders should understand about matters and elements. Oh dont forget in ATLK, Toph -an earthbender- can control liquid (mercury), ghazan and bolin can lavabend. So i think a type of bending can manipulate different matter as long as that matter got the element needed
Another example of a lethal Airbender was Kalsang (probably spelled wrong) from Koishi's and Kuruk's times. He sank an entire fleet of pirates by him self killing tens if bot hundreds in the process.
we need a blind airbender. Toph uses the vibrations of the *earth* . the blind airbender can use the vibrations of the air to walk and airbend. idk where i heard this but airbenders can react to sudden movement by the wat the air hits them. i don’t think this would ever happen but it would’ve been cool
Tbh Wan story just contradict the legend of Flying Byson. The way you said is half the truth and hiding fact. people who already inherited Air Bending from The lion Turtle were just an ancestor of the air bender according to the wan story if you go by that logic they even explain people had to learn the bending technique how they use it other wise it was just a mere given power. The legend of Korra just contradict the whole original series is just bummer for me.
yeah, agreed... i really want to like legend of korra but it feels like there are too many holes in the lore, or ill fitted lore. also don’t like what they did with the spirits, they kinda look like pokemon and lose the eeriness, otherworldly feel to them. and the whole good/bad dynamic... to each their own though
The best way it works for me is by thinking that The Lion Turtles gave their residents the ability of pyro, geo, hydro, and aerokinesis, but *bending* the elements requires teaching and studying the respective masters, the dragons, badger moles, moon, and flying bison. This can be seen with Wan, he could shoot fire, but only after learning The Dancing Dragon from the Spirit Oasis could he *firebend* . It's as if the Lion Turtle could give a mute man the ability to speak, but only the original benders could teach him to sing.
Your videos are great, but PLEASE learn the correct name pronunciations: Guru Pathik (pa-TEEK) Amon (ah-MON) Monk Gyatso (ghee-AT-so) Iroh (EYE-row) Thank you.
Airbenders would be gods if knowing moves like: Air Block: Create a block of air and push it Towards an opponent Air blade Just... Make a blade of air and send it An enhancement to the air block would be that it could seperate into other blocks and surround an enemy Gust??? The airbender could create a tornado of sorts and the close you are to them the more intense the wind would push you THEY COULD LITERALLY SUFFOCATE SOMEONE IF THE SO PLEASE Another move that would look cool would be a dome of sorts that has such intense winds not even rocks can pierce it.
@@tali7287 I know that somehow it would be related to earthbending but apart from metalbending, bloodbending and lightingbending I've never heard of that one
The most op benders, fuck blood, metal and ligthning bending. Imagine an air bender that takes out the air inside a person. Battle ends before it even started. OP af
Air bending and fire bending are very similar in attack. Fire bending is much more powerful on impact, however, air bending is much more controlled, shaped, and versatile. Air bending also has many more uses in the context of agility and is probably the most useful form of bending. It’s used in things like speed, vertical travel, and flight. If I had to choose any bending it would DEFINITELY be air bending, because the ability allows it’s users to fly, run on walls, and ride on an air sphere. While no other ability has any passive/versatility uses
exactly, it just seemed so random and forced. It would just make sense for those airbenders to appear naturally over time since some most likely have airbending in their blood from an ancestor or something
@@iamabitch5643 no. the airbenders who had escaped the air temples when the fire nation attacked was lured into a mountain with some airbender relics and then they killed them. so having them appear naturally in korras time is impossible.
harmonic convergence makes total sense, ALL the avatar franchise is based on balance, but where is the balance if there are only 4 airbenders in the entire world?
Who is this Jessa? Air bending is so beautiful and I love their spiritual connection with life (except for Zaheer of course!)... I made me cry so much when I first met Tenzin, Jinora, Ikki and Meelo, I couldn't believe there were 4 air benders, the kids dressed just as Aang! What an honor!
Airbending is so underpowered and underused in the show. I think if used aggresivley (as proven by zaheer) it can be even more powerful than bloodbending. An airbender could literally just take the air out of a persons lungs, change the density and pressure and even squish a person with the air surrounding it.
Air and fire are the most useful and combative. You can use them wherever you are. Terrain is not an issue. And if the monks were not so spiritual, the air nomads could have been quite a formidable force to reckon with. Offensive air bending is pretty rad.

They are a Linage so they had much more knowledge of Bloodbending because each generation before Amon worked on it. There is chance other people discovered they can blood bend before during the Full moon, but most likely kept it as secret

Air bending is one of the most lethal Element. Monk gyatso defeated 15-20 firebenders during Sozins comet. 15-20 firebnders power was equal to 100-150 during sozins comet.
I'd say air bending is the second most powerful next to waterbending because with air bending you can literally suck the air out of someone with waterbending you can control them using blood bending
@@mmmmm_monke55 i agree with you but think about it korra defeated blood bending without avatar state, that means every human have potential of defeating blood bending, but air bender also can blow up apponents lungs
@@hunterss3017 that's Is true airbending is really good defensively and offensively
At least only air bending can face another element in everywhere not depend a place.
Imagine an air bender who is willing to attack and defend as much as any other bender of the other nations. They would arguably be the most dangerous benders in the world, as like the fire benders, they aren’t inhibited by whether any water or earth is within range of them. They could form intense tornadoes or theoretically hurricanes, there exists air swords in the canon already that could tear someone apart. They could probably even REMOVE the air around their enemies which would especially devastate firebenders, and if they took some tips and tricks from Sariel in the seven deadly sins manga/anime they could make air spheres around themselves that would shave projectiles and people coming towards them. Obviously these wouldn’t be easy feats to master but their potential is insane. We’ve even seen if willing they have the power to fly as effortlessly as bison.
All elements have the same power level
@@colin7062 not really as strong as this, the only element that could counter this power is blood bending.
Air benders can fly only if the person they love the most dies
@@andresavage9109 That is false, an airbender can only fly if said airbender has no earthly attachments freeing an airbender fully.
@@birdify3020 and how does one lose all earthly attachments
You forgot to mention Afiko, the betrayer of the air nomads:
Afiko, known as the Betrayer, was an airbender from the Southern Air Temple. he grew jealous when Aang's identity as the Avatar was announced. Envious, Afiko betrayed his people by revealing the temple's location to the Fire Nation, after which the country's army raided it during the Air Nomad Genocide. Made notorious by this betrayal, Afiko was charged with treason in 5 AG and later executed by decree of Fire Lord Sozin.
My god I didn't even know of this
Unfortunately, he's only in the Avatar card game.
The fire lord that was helped by him killed him?
@@adashi2407 but is he canon?
@@ballista7367 no
Air and earth was always my favorite elements in the show because of how resourceful they are. I have been doing martial arts since I was 11 and a few years when I discovered what the martial arts the bending styles are based on, I implemented those styles to my own martial art skills.
Voice Acticon acctually air and water and earth were the best
Thier all the best
# fire
I said I implement the martial art styles that are the elements are based off of. Like air is based on the martial Ba Gau and I love implement ba gau in the martial arts that I know
Air is just gaz, so it's not that resourceful. Fire is much more like heat, and superheated objects like lava can be used.
Then water is steam, liquid, or ice, as well as in blood.
The most resourceful is earth, with earth, stone, the stone in metal, maybe even in bones, lava, sand, mud.
@@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369 air is ver Resourceful lol
That moment when you realize Jinora beat her grandpa in being the youngest airbending Master.
EDIT: If you think that this comment was in any way some weird attempt to say that one show (ATLA or LOK) was superior please move along. I like both, and was just making a note of something.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Ikr? At least Aang made sense in the story that he was a master at a very young age, he was the Avatar. Jinora was a master because fuck you. The creators of the show can't just stop themselves in making terrible decisions.
@@Angglio Why would you gripe on this? .. Aang created the freaking air scooter
I don't think Jinora being a very young master is that big of a conflict as every kid or grandkid of th team avatar seemed to be very skilled in their bending which makes sense since their parents were a highly skilled masters.
Plus you do get the kid prodigy thing like with Azula, or Aang or even Toph.
So I find this aspect one of the least strange in Korra.
@@Angglio calm tf down, jinora was able to project her body and she had a very strong connection to the spirits
I watched avatar when I was a little kid and I still love it!
And the real teen titans 👀👀
If l was an avatar l would wish to be born in the air nomads in the air temples because its peaceful there.....
not until sozin attacks your home
The avatar's job isn't to keep his home peaceful but to keep the whole world peaceful...so you can't just stay in one place
@@chrisp.9385 Yes but l would be in the air temples in my childhood years till my avatar training was over and then keep the world peaceful from all of the dangers.....
@@nevergonnagiveyouup1853 Sozin l don't think he is alive didn't korra already kill him.....
@@nevergonnagiveyouup1853 And if sozin was still alive l would just beat him .....
The Airbenders literally went easy on everyone.
Airbenders and airbending is so underrated. When my friends and I play avatar everyone wants to be fire bender or the other nations. Sometimes my friends who chose air often got teased or called lame because they're airbenders... 'Tis a shame indeed.
Airbending is lethal you can bend the air out of lungs
Tell them, they are always on the air zone.
You for got to mention actual flight with out
The use of a staff which zaheer achieved
Actually I dont think there can be much to say about flying...
It was created by Guru Laghima thousands years before ATLA And TLOK
And as I knew he spent his last 40 years of life not touching the ground.
Zaheer was a very talented air bender
He was able to show people that flying wasn t just a myth and he wasn t even an airbending master.
So that s all i think you can say about flying since there s not to many informations in the show or comics
DeSTroYeR yeah I know all of that I’m just saying like all the other elements that have up grades earth which have two being Metal and lava with fire lightning,water blood bending now air flight
@@demetriusbrice3887 yeah ik
He should have said something about it to make the video more complete
i’ve always found zaheer’s flight ability too contradicting for comfort. he achieved this extremely uncommon ability just after getting airbending, and certainly did not receive any spiritual training or guidance within air nomad culture. he did independently learn some of their traditions, but i don’t think that should suffice whatsoever. he might have been a good bender and attuned to the spirit world, but these traits should not have been enough. 🙈
@@demetriusbrice3887 Earth has sand bending too.

I real loved this show as a child. I never missed an episode in 2006; I rewatched it on Netflix which I do not regret it and the quality was much better. I just wish that they added more seasons to the show instead of making the Legend of Korra , honestly we would have like 6 season and continuing.
I haven't even watched it yet, and I already love it.
U NEVER WATCHED ATLA
this is a life-changing series. go watch it now 💃
What are you waiting for Chinese New Year go go go
The reaction to Bumi airbending will always be iconic
8:15 That disadvantage from airbending, can be easily be overcome by stop being peaceful (he can still be spiritual like Zaheer and don´t lose power). Unlike the other bendings, airbending has practically 0 disadvantages, it only has restrictions imposed by the bender himself
I can’t believe he doesn’t have more sub because his videos are so good and have so much info
you forgot to mention that they have a pretty good sense of humor
Your voice is so close to sounding like one of those text to voice bots. Cool.
Cool. Cool, cool, cool
Cool. Cool
I love ATLA, air bending and the spiritual air benders. Thanks for this.
Just started watching these videos yesterday, good to know ur still making more
When I breath in oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide:I am an airbender-
Hm.. No images of the Air Benders from back in Wan's time. Those Air Benders flew on clouds and lived on a Flying Lion Turtle.
Just a reminder..
What if someone mastered EVERY element including Earth, Metal, Air, Fire, Lightning, Blood, Water. They would just be unstoppable
True
Ľarva, crystal, sand, mud, plant
I had this theory, we all know what happened in the ep. The Storm and it's just like how Aang got himself and Appa in an iceberg. In the storm ep the avatar state activated bcs he's in genuine danger and at that time Aang didn't know how to control it yet. Then he created an airbubble (i think) and get them out of the water and flew of to the eye of the storm. Why didn't he/the avatar state/the past avatars did the same when the same thing happened with him and Appa a 100 years ago? I think because they knew Aang wouldn't survive against the fire nation at that time and it would be too risky if he fights them all without knowing how to bend the other 3 elements and just rely on the avatar state, cause you know if they're killed in the avatar state the cycle would end, so instead they/he just froze himself and Appa and wait until the right moment.
people always ask if you can be a bender which one would you be? I say air. Looks amazing compared to the others.
Nice videos! I've been binge-watching them en masse, haha. One small bit of feedback is the red border around the thumbnail sometimes makes me think I already watched the video because I'm confusing the red border for the red TH-cam progress bar. Anyway, keep up the great work!
What a hell of an evolution these shows did, seriously. 😯
The amount of people watching this just shows how much this series is loved. I mean it was years ago but people still click on videos like this hahaha this show sure is remarkably good, i mean im even rewatching it now hahaha
The way he pronounced Amon 😭
And Pathik...
@@sethblaster extra's thicc
It sounded like master aemon from got
First eroh the aman
I love airbending! If you can bend an element, I would choose airbending
Another reason I love the air nomads: they pretty are Spider-Man with an air based spider sense.
Rewatching the LoK series, I noticed that the air nomads on the lion-turtle didn't have arrow tattoos, their tattoos ends flat with a dot at the end
The lack of fatel finishing attacks?
Well one is enought and suffocating someone in a vacuum seams pretty fatal.
But because they are usually peacefull thats just not a thing they would do
Zaheer is an airbender but not an air nomad. Move along normie.
I was just wondering, there are 4 states of matter (originally 3 until Plasma got added).
There is Solid, Liquid, Gas, and Plasma.
Then there are 4 General Types of Bending.
There is Earthbending, Waterbending, Airbending, and then Firebending.
What if this signifies that a type of Bending can manipulate it's respective state of matter.
Like Plasma for Firebending since Fire and Lightning's state of matter is Plasma, Solid for Earthbending because obvious reasons, Liquid for Waterbending and Gas for Airbending.
This could open up so many possibilities especially for Firebending, if Azula was able to pack a ball of energy using Lightning Manipulation in the comics, what if someone goes farther beyond and creates an Ion Energy Sphere and Laser out of there hands? They'll basically become a walking Plasma Cannon.
That's make sense. But i think to achieve those crazy technique, the benders should understand about matters and elements.
Oh dont forget in ATLK, Toph -an earthbender- can control liquid (mercury), ghazan and bolin can lavabend. So i think a type of bending can manipulate different matter as long as that matter got the element needed
Let go of all🌎attachments and become🌬wind
Air bending has always been my favorite type of bending.
All of the female air nomads look like jojo siwa
KSKSKSKSKKSKS
really wish they had a more flattering look, or at least bangs or something
Flying baby bison are adorable as heck and I want one
This was amazing.
I love seeing videos on Avatar getting lots of veiws, its nice knowing lots of people still watch
6:48 jinora looks like aang, apart from the eyes
Another example of a lethal Airbender was Kalsang (probably spelled wrong) from Koishi's and Kuruk's times. He sank an entire fleet of pirates by him self killing tens if bot hundreds in the process.
You should do combustion bending
You made meelo look very cool
This must be sad when he was the only Airbenders left
we need a blind airbender. Toph uses the vibrations of the *earth* . the blind airbender can use the vibrations of the air to walk and airbend. idk where i heard this but airbenders can react to sudden movement by the wat the air hits them. i don’t think this would ever happen but it would’ve been cool
I just finished rewatching both the avatar the last air bender and the legend of Korra and I think legend of korra was my favorite
the legend of korra is good! don’t know why so many angry folks keep bashing it 🤷♂️
Lok is a good show... But Atla is legendary 👍👍
Ozai: you just can't airbend out of thin air
Aang: haha air go swoosh
Wait a minute, wasn’t Kyoshi an earth bender???
Paola Elizabeth Morales she was but don’t forget she’s also the avatar so she could air bend too using her fans
Yes. Also she's the avatar so she can bend air.
She got her fans from her mother who was an airbender.
Bruhhhhhhhhh
Idk why but air bending/ the air nomads have such a cool past
Tbh Wan story just contradict the legend of Flying Byson.
The way you said is half the truth and hiding fact. people who already inherited Air Bending from The lion Turtle were just an ancestor of the air bender according to the wan story if you go by that logic they even explain people had to learn the bending technique how they use it other wise it was just a mere given power.
The legend of Korra just contradict the whole original series is just bummer for me.
yeah, agreed... i really want to like legend of korra but it feels like there are too many holes in the lore, or ill fitted lore. also don’t like what they did with the spirits, they kinda look like pokemon and lose the eeriness, otherworldly feel to them. and the whole good/bad dynamic... to each their own though
The best way it works for me is by thinking that The Lion Turtles gave their residents the ability of pyro, geo, hydro, and aerokinesis, but *bending* the elements requires teaching and studying the respective masters, the dragons, badger moles, moon, and flying bison. This can be seen with Wan, he could shoot fire, but only after learning The Dancing Dragon from the Spirit Oasis could he *firebend* . It's as if the Lion Turtle could give a mute man the ability to speak, but only the original benders could teach him to sing.
I love light magic systems where there are not many rules but the only limit within those rules is creativity
Your videos are great, but PLEASE learn the correct name pronunciations:
Guru Pathik (pa-TEEK)
Amon (ah-MON)
Monk Gyatso (ghee-AT-so)
Iroh (EYE-row)
Thank you.
This is my favorite of your videos so far. Very informative. Thanks :)
Zaheer created BreathBending and I know it
Airbenders would be gods if knowing moves like:
Air Block:
Create a block of air and push it
Towards an opponent
Air blade
Just... Make a blade of air and send it
An enhancement to the air block would be that it could seperate into other blocks and surround an enemy
Gust???
The airbender could create a tornado of sorts and the close you are to them the more intense the wind would push you
THEY COULD LITERALLY SUFFOCATE SOMEONE IF THE SO PLEASE
Another move that would look cool would be a dome of sorts that has such intense winds not even rocks can pierce it.
Can you do the history of sandbending
Wait there's sandbending seriously
@@mangavf2525 sand is earth duh
sand is just earth, why do they need to make a video about it
tattooed smile Because history is history
@@tali7287 I know that somehow it would be related to earthbending but apart from metalbending, bloodbending and lightingbending I've never heard of that one
I’m happy that airbenders returned in korra and that they finally made a mark on the map again after more than 100 years
History of the beifong family?
The most op benders, fuck blood, metal and ligthning bending. Imagine an air bender that takes out the air inside a person. Battle ends before it even started. OP af
Can u do a history of air bending's sub bending(?) Spirit travelling or spirit connection whatever it is called :v I'm really curious
The baby flying bisons are adorable!
But what if we saw baby lemurs?
I like how he still does atla
Although it wad moee than a decade OLD
Air bending and fire bending are very similar in attack. Fire bending is much more powerful on impact, however, air bending is much more controlled, shaped, and versatile. Air bending also has many more uses in the context of agility and is probably the most useful form of bending. It’s used in things like speed, vertical travel, and flight. If I had to choose any bending it would DEFINITELY be air bending, because the ability allows it’s users to fly, run on walls, and ride on an air sphere. While no other ability has any passive/versatility uses
4:33 that’s not how you say his name

Lol
Onion and banana juice?
i enjoyed your video < 3
I swear to God they ruined the show with the sudden appearance of the air benders
exactly, it just seemed so random and forced. It would just make sense for those airbenders to appear naturally over time since some most likely have airbending in their blood from an ancestor or something
@@iamabitch5643 no. the airbenders who had escaped the air temples when the fire nation attacked was lured into a mountain with some airbender relics and then they killed them. so having them appear naturally in korras time is impossible.
harmonic convergence makes total sense, ALL the avatar franchise is based on balance, but where is the balance if there are only 4 airbenders in the entire world?
Who is this Jessa? Air bending is so beautiful and I love their spiritual connection with life (except for Zaheer of course!)... I made me cry so much when I first met Tenzin, Jinora, Ikki and Meelo, I couldn't believe there were 4 air benders, the kids dressed just as Aang! What an honor!
Kyoshi's mom.
I’m sad about meelo we need a new show with a meelo reincarnate
I was expecting to hear about the flying more in this one but that's fair ^^ I'mma check out the Red Lotus episode too next :)
Did you really pronounce Amon's name as "Ah-men?" It's "Ah-mon." Like the way it is spelt. How do people mess this up?
Take it easy. It's a forgettable character anyways, like most characters in LOK.
Airbending is so underpowered and underused in the show. I think if used aggresivley (as proven by zaheer) it can be even more powerful than bloodbending. An airbender could literally just take the air out of a persons lungs, change the density and pressure and even squish a person with the air surrounding it.
Yes thank u for this I’ve been waiting for this
Aang : Airbenders don't kill
Gyatso : Allow me to introduce myself
It's easier to teach something when you are NOT being attacked by firebenders.
@@ARandomSpace true
@@thefatherlord3554 Besides,Air Nomads only fight as defense.
yo channel is dead ass my favorite channel😭🤣
airbenders can warm themselves with their bending...which is why aang was in the South Pole without the layers.
i felt that you should have talked about Guru laghima a little more. The ability to fly is cool
Nice keep going so you can get 100k subs
5:25 Ok so are you telling me that the Air Nomads are now always targeted for slaughter?
Air and fire are the most useful and combative. You can use them wherever you are. Terrain is not an issue.
And if the monks were not so spiritual, the air nomads could have been quite a formidable force to reckon with.
Offensive air bending is pretty rad.
Revised
Waterbenders - bloodbending, icebending(any liquid or fluid for that matter)
Earthbenders - Metalbending, Lavabending, sandbending, glassbending
Firebenders - Lightningbending(combustion bending)
