suffocating people is pretty impractical when you can compress air with your mind

I had a phase when I was a kid where I’d jump off structures with makeshift parachutes

Why would you want to suffocate people when yoy can simply make them fall from great heights
air bender!
it’s the avatar equivalent of shooting someone with a gun
showrunners were cowards since explosive farts should be a baseline firebender technique

Fire benders can fly, earth benders can break their fall, and waterbenders can do chicanery.
I have the image in my head of a waterbender bloodbending themselves to fly.
this sounds incredibly painful
It was only shown them able to fly during a comment

do you think airbenders can wavedash

I don’t remember how this went in the original show, but in episode 2, when Zhao shows up to Kyoshi island and is like ‘heyyyy Kyoshi warriors please turn over your outsiders to us,’ the head of the island, backed by some Kyoshi warriors, is like ‘ohhh no sir we don’t have any outsiders :))’ and he’s like ‘
’ and she’s like ‘no really’ and he’s like ‘well I don’t believe you so surely it’s fine if I search this island’ and she’s like ‘ok :) :)’
and this is played as a sort of ‘I know you’re lying’ dynamic
except … Sokka is literally standing right there with her. like not disguised as a Kyoshi warrior or anything, and not hidden, he’s literally just Sokka in normal Sokka waterbender clothes.
why does Zhao not point this out? is he stupid?

amon could probably do it with his really good psychic bloodbending. people think he has such mastery that he bloodbends the benders who attack him so he can do his whole martial arts schtick
