Poll: What kind of element would you bend?

[Hurr Durr Derp]

I'd be a spoonbender.

Air, water and fire can all be broken down into smaller elements. Thus, they are not friggin' elements T.T

It's from a T.V. show. It's not science. It is fantasy >_>

This doesn't make sense no matter what story it is in.

It's magic in a kids' show. It doesn't have to make perfect sense. Besides, if you ask anyone what 'the four elements' are, 99% chance they'd say fire, earth, water and air.

The most frequently occurring theory of classical elements, held by the Hindu, Buddhist, Japanese and Greek systems of thought, is that there are four elements, namely Earth, Water, Air, Fire, which are currently associated with the four known states of matter (solid, liquid, gas and plasma) and a fifth element known variously as space, Idea, Void quintessence or Aether (the term "quintessence" derives from "quint" meaning "fifth").

I don't quite understand the Avatar universe.

As far as I was concerned, they could only bend: fire, earth, air, and water.

I'm a little confused as to how blood would bend?

ALSO: Ma-Ti! With the power of heart!

Later in the series they develop advanced forms of bending.

Blood has a lot of water in it (or so they explain in the show), and during a full moon waterbenders can bend the blood of people to either make them their puppets or simply kill them.

 

[Lizmichi]

Easy, I've love to bend water. I've always had a thing for water anyway.

 

[crazyfoxdemon]

I'd go with Earth or Water... BTW, you forgot earth in the poll -_-

 

[The Arc of Eden]

Do i have to pick? It honestly depends on the situation of the economy. Assuming its a sort-of feudal state like the avatar universe, Air. It's fast, with the right training you could pretty much cut people in half with a wave of your arm. Also, water has oxygen in it, so to a minor extent I think i might be able to bend water as well. And if you can manipulate sound, there's no end to the fucked up things I'd do. Chronic Auditory Hallucinations. Hell, I could carry my guitar everywhere without an amp, and actually play music that kills.

 

[Xeros]

Water bending. It has almost unlimited uses.

 

[Ciran]

I think I would choose earth, mainly because I like the way it looks and works. Yeah, it might not be the most practical, but you can usually find some way to get to your element, even when people work very hard to make sure you don't.

 

[SextusMaximus]

It's cliched but, fire. Yeah!

 

[atomicmeatballs]

I don't know much about the universe, so I'd pick fire, but only if I could conjure it. If the element had to be there already, I'd definitely pick air.

Fire is the only type of bending that can be conjured, but Earth and Air are always around.

So is water if you include water vapor. Or you're own bodily fluids.

 

[atomicmeatballs]

Air, if I had that Kite thing, then I could fly.

 

[Cowabungaa]

Water of course. Why waste energy in attacking people when you can attack them with themselves.

In the cartoon you just see blood bending used to make other people your puppets, but technically you could just make their blood stream out of every orifice in their body, freeze them from inside out or just make them explode. Now thát's effective.

You can't burn down a town with water, your argument is invalid.

You can freeze it over and shatter it, and make the villagers simply go pop when you let their bodily fluids explode.

 

[energetic]

Would have to be the fifth option from the show energy bending i wished they'd shown it more. That or air plus i always liked the idea of somewhat questionable air bending, you could choke people like vader, blow people up like balloons, and cool yourself on a hot day ^^

 

[Vhite]

Sound of course, I would be richest man in the world without having to kill anyone.

 

[Cody211282]

Why cant I pick earth, because it would be to awesome or something?

Well if I had to pick one of the 3 I would say fire, well because I could burn things.

 

[FlyAwayAutumn]

Just a thought but with sound bending could you bend sound waves (Your voice) to make you the sexiest sounding man in the world?

Anyway I would want to bend air, just because it has more practical uses to me than fire or water but earth is tempting too. If you have long hair you could use air bending to make it flow with the wind "But there wasn't a breeze a second ago" or even better when women wear skirts then... well you know what I'm getting at.

 

[Nihilism_Is_Bliss]

Fire if the Electricity addition can also be conjured.
If the Electricity addition is only in effect during a thunderstorm, then I'd probably go Water.
