Book 3 hype! This first chapter was pretty damn awesome, and there are already a bunch of questions popping up in our heads. We can't wait to find out what's going on!

And I never implied that was what you were trying to say I was wrong 😊 I just built on what you said as an "oh so it does makes sense to see it as a genetic thing based on what the authors have said"

2021-03-22 01:14:22 +0000 UTCI didn't mean it as you were contradicting what they were saying, just that in way everyone is right. That bending is given in more than one way. Like you said genetic and evolutionary, but also spiritual interference as well. I wasn't trying to say you were wrong lol just sharing how the creator's saw bending

2021-03-21 15:22:02 +0000 UTCOkay, that actually means any of their arguments does not contradict bending as being a mainly evolutionary and genetic thing 🤷🏼 au contraire! (Except the point where harmonic convergence restore balance by granting airbending on a random basis, but that is some cosmic interference and besides my point anyway)

2021-03-21 10:24:25 +0000 UTCPerfect example is Katara, she's powerful waterbender that was born from 2 non-bender parents. Toph might be too, although there was no evidence that confirmed whether her parents could bend or not.

2021-03-19 12:18:45 +0000 UTCWoo, Zaheer time! I love this season for giving us an air bender as an antagonist. And dear President Raiko, stop being a dick 24/7.

2021-03-19 08:43:32 +0000 UTCThe creators always said that they wanted who gets bending to be somewhat mysterious. Stating its both genetics and spiritual, they have also said that bending also has to do with your environment. They based this idea and I quote "the only constant is change, variation, that sorta thing". So in the end we just don't know how its decided who gets bending and why lol. Harmonic Convergence caused a spiritual shift causing airbending to activate in order to restore balance to the world. Here are some quotes on what they have said about bending "We didn't want it to be like there is a lineage...a royal family or something...and these people can bend and then there's everyone else as non-bending, people who never will. Some sort of caste system. Mike and I are more attracted to more of the flux type universe." "You have some genetic basis for potential, but you could go your whole life without developing the talent into ability. Some people have more inherent talent than others, while others with minimal inherent talent can still develop it through hard work and practice. He reiterated a connection to the spiritual energies is the underlying basis. How it manifests is based on upbringing and experience." ""We always have liked the idea of who will be a bender and who won't be to be kind of an ambiguous mystery, even to the people in the Avatar world. From early on we thought the Air Nomads would be all benders... It's more of a spiritual connection. But they have - they had - the smallest population. Earth Kingdom has the biggest population but the smallest percentage of benders. So yeah, there were these notions we kicked around that it wasn't going to be regimented or ruled through specific lineages. We liked the idea that each of the cultures have a different spiritual vantage point... coming at it from a different angle."

2021-03-19 03:04:07 +0000 UTCI wonder if you know of the voice actor for Zaheer. I just rewatched his hot ones interview from a few years ago. Cool guy.

2021-03-19 01:43:27 +0000 UTCAhh extremism, got ya! Every ideology can be taken too far, and Amon was for sure guilty of that in a way. And yes, Asami and Korra bonding was freaking awesome!
Sonny Mike Olsen
2021-03-19 00:37:34 +0000 UTCI love Korra's growth shown in this first episode. She is so much calmer and is allowing people to help her more. Plus Asami and Korra! Friends! My favorite part of this episode is their conversation in the car. Extreme communism meaning like he wanted everyone to be equal. Just the general 'idea' of communism I meant. Like Amon has a point and you could easily agree with what he said, but he took it too far clearly.
