Whenever the humans left their lion turtle cities to gather food and such, the lion turtles would grant them quote "the POWER of the elements". What im saying are not assumptions, bending still remained a martial art in tlok with new styles developing over the years (you have no proof it even stops as plenty of characters such as Tenzin, Korra, Jinora, Kya, Unalaq, P'li, Tonraq, Mako, Bolin all utilize traditional forms of bending, with Mako and Bolin utilizing probending styles due to their background, and Korra utilizing both styles).īending didnt exist during Wans time, hell the word bending wasnt even a thing as not ONCE in either beginnings episodes is the word bending used at all as it is in the. Wan did learn firebending from the dragons, you an see him clear as day doing it. Wan was banished for for starting a rebellion and not revealing who was involved, since the Chu family hogged up a majority of their cities food and Wan and his friends had to live off of scraps and whatever food they could get away with stealing.
Is there going to be a new avatar series after korra how to#
So yes ATLA did say who the teachers were, as the lion turtles didnt know how to bend, and bending only became a thing when Wan started learning the dancing dragon from the dragons. What Yue said wasnt retconned, Wan was able to move water but he didnt know any of the techniques for waterbending, the only ones he knew were for firebending, since he had 2 years to learn and master it.Īgain bro bending is a martial art, the original benders were the animals and moon, but the lion turtles are the ones who gave humanity the power of the elements. The origin of how humanity gained the elements and the avatar became obscure and such, leading people to develop their own myths and legends. You have to remember that Wans story takes places 10,000 years from ATLA and TLOK, he, Raava, Vaatu, and the lion turtles faded with the sands of time.

Yes it does bro, bending isnt a power it's a martial art, you're using the elements as an extension of yourself, Toph explicitly stated it was a martial art, the hunter in Wans story said that wan used fire as if it were an extension of his body, it's precisely what martial artists and weapon users teach their students. It's as simple as that! Though to my opinion, you should be thankful for what you've got as Legend of Korra now, otherwise you would've gotten something in which would be A LOT WORSE!!! If you don't like it, then it'll help them to learn from their mistakes when they create the next Avatar series. Also, why all the hate over the sequel? Sure it doesn't have many of the ingredients that made Avatar The Last Airbender great, so what! It's it's 'OWN' story with it's 'OWN' rules and it's 'OWN' path! You could think of it being like Digimon, when they change seasons, it's different stories to each have it's own charm, as well as variety! Also, like those, Korra as a whole, could be boiled down to as an experimental series, a direction in which the creators long wanted to try out.

I mean don't get me wrong! Avatar The Last Airbender 'IS' thrilling and the stories are good and deep, but I could think of 'A LOT' of shows that are far superior and enduring than it. Seriously! I don't see the entire series being that all greater than how you may think of it being.
