Rogue Air monks would be a interesting story but how would they have survived the Genocide of Air Nomads there would of been some indication to them in the temples and the fire nation would of most likely found em if so.bliebblob said:Agreed on every account.

I don't think Airbenders get anything else though, which kinda sucks for them.bliebblob said:Hmmm water is tempting since it's pretty overpowered (ask me why, I dare you) But earth or fire suit my personality more. On the other hand, airbending lets you effin fly! So any bending would be great really, I'm not picky
Off topic: you know how earthbenders get metalbending and firebenders get lightning? I wonder what airbenders would get...
Wow this is fanfic writing itself right here isn't it?
It's always possible that it's just not for you. But you should know it's eerily common for people (including me) to not be impressed with the start, only to love it to bits later. Though the exact tipping point seems to vary from person to person.Xartyve2 said:

Keep watching. The first season of the show is definitely very "childish", but it's just getting it's footing, and they weren't sure if they were getting more episodes.Xartyve2 said:
Filler? As a fan who's seen the show 8 times from beginning to end, I can guarantee there is only one episode in the entire series that is entirely irrelevant to later episodes (The Great Divide). Book 1 did have a lot of seemingly disconnected and meaningless episodes, but they got better with it after that, and even then all but one of those episodes meant something later.PercyBoleyn said:

Fun fact, when I downloaded the first season of Avatar, the uploader had taken that episode out(presumably because it sucks). I went years without even knowing it existed. Then I found out there was an episode I hadn't seen and got excited...at least there were a few decent lines from Sokka.saintdane05 said:
When I say overpowered I don't mean it in terms of raw power. Because that completely depends on how much the bender has trained. The show does a really good job of making that clear: it's not the type of bending that makes you win, it's how good you are with it.Navvan said:Earth bending has the most application, and is overall my favorite. As for my favorite character I found Toph to be the most enjoyable of the bunch.
Why? Every element can do things that are not shown in the show that are very over powered. Even applications of what they show is possible are overpowered.bliebblob said:Hmmm water is tempting since it's pretty overpowered (ask me why, I dare you

Okay that's very cool and all but I'm not sure what exactly you want me to say about all that? :S I was just trying to get people to come up with possible specialized airbending styles.Altorin said:The only really interesting suggesstion there is sound bending.. although technically, all those "higher forms of bending" are just basic bending to an extreme degree, and if an Air bender can feasibly pull a tornado out of his ass, I don't think it matters too much what you call it.bliebblob said:Agreed on every account.

Air Bending can directly counter any other bending (other then terrestrial earth bending, where the earth bender pulls a chunk of earth up from the ground, and perhaps the lightning technique of fire benders) if the bender is strong enough. In our RPG, there was a whole network of things various types of benders could potentially manipulate, all through normal elemental bending. Things like liquid lava could be bent by either a Earth bender, or a Fire bender for instance. They'd use it differently, but both could have some effect over it. We had a wood bender (a concession to Dragonblood Exalted) who's natural domain was effecting the growth of plants and the release and control of natural airborn spores and toxins. The air bender had control over those spores and toxins as well, but less direct (although a powerful air bender can be quite precise with his application of air). In Avatar, Water benders can bend plants as well, so that's another place where our Wood and Water benders collided, but Water benders can only manipulate and move plants, the wood bender could actually cause it to miraculously grow.
Feel free to ignore the Wood bender stuff, I'm sure it'll just derail the conversation, but trust me, its inclusion added a very interesting twist to the environment.
Makes sense.
