Reminder Aang can’t metalbend

Something about Death Battle.

They really should just make a /vs/ board.

He can lava bend cause past Avatars could. Metal Bending is a new discovery.

That said he can also just pressurize water to cut through steel.

So Es is wining be crushing him with a metal construction right?

did korra? (i never got that far)

She learns it a little bit in season 3, the only good season. It is a plot point in season 4

Korra actually learned many more advanced techniques than Aang did, largely because she had actual masters from across the world instruct her. Aang was a fugitive that picked up bits and pieces when possible from skilled benders but none of them were accustomed to students.

Sorry anons but Korra was the stronger of the two. But don't feel too bad; Aang was the better character.

Nice strawman, powerlevel cancer.

Uh. Didn't korra need to be given back her powers through some form of magic? The bitch was so bad she needed a plot device to use wind bending.

Because the bloodbending from Aang's era became weirdly prevalent and some schmuck learned how to mimic energybending with it.

Honestly I'd say Korra faced stronger adversaries than Aang did too, but that was mostly due to plot contrivance.

Aang doesn't need metal bending to win. He can win with air bending alone.

Now show Azula excavating his spine with lightning.

End of series Aang is fast enough to catch lightning and redirect it.

I'll give you the fire monks but Toph was a bitch who treated him like shit, to the point where her training damn near turned him off from earthbending permanently.

Katara was the opposite: Too kind and gentle. And if you'll recall, at the start of the series she knew dick about waterbending; she got to where she is via plot contrivance and Mary Sue bullshit. Seriously, her ascent to waterbending mastery happened entirely too fast to be realistic.

Of course no; he's dead. So is his soul and spirit and everything that was left of him.

Fuck, that's actually a perfectly consistent reason. Nicely done, user.

>Toph was a bitch who treated him like shit, to the point where her training damn near turned him off from earthbending permanently.
That was the point of the training. Aang doesn't take on conflict head on and is a very live and let live person. He needed to learn to stick to his convictions and grow a back bone.
>And if you'll recall, at the start of the series she knew dick about waterbending; she got to where she is via plot contrivance and Mary Sue bullshit. Seriously, her ascent to waterbending mastery happened entirely too fast to be realistic.
A combination of the water tribe scroll, training with another bender, and being in live combat situations helped her learn.

Katara was accidentally cracking entire glaciers in the first episode, she was just untrained. She mostly learned through active combat and slowly became more and more proficient over time. I don't think it's as unrealistic as Toph who just stumbles on the original earthbenders because of the will of the Force and somehow picks up complex earthbending stances from not-watching them becoming one of the most powerful earthbenders in existence before we even meet her... but I'm fine with that.

I always assumed Toph's skill was due to a combination of "learning earthbending the primal way" and natural skill. Basically she was a prodigy that stumbled into the spark required for her to ascend to mastery.

Psst
Ed can't turn fire into metal
Or air
Or water

At best he can convert metal-rich earth to a forged metal using alchemy. He's still three elements down, and avatar skips over EE with firebending.

It's Avatar, everyone that was in the main cast was a prodigy.
Except Zuko, he literally just had the best teachers around like Iroh and Piandao.

For me, Toph just worked as a master supreme because of having to see through the earth or be forever helpless under coddling parents.

And not like she was unchallenged since boomy gave her a run for her money.

Wasn't it established pretty early on that Iroh was a shit teacher? He was too relaxed, extremely lazy, and easily distracted. It was only much later in the series when he actually bothered to sit down with Zuko and give him some proper instruction.

It's actually a change in story direction. Originally in Book 1 Iroh was intentionally a bad teacher to Zuko for a later story they had planned for Book 3. But they changed that to the training arcs we got in Book 2.

Didn't Toph flat out say Aang never learned to metal bend and didn't want to anyway?

Zuko was all hard work and skill was his thing.

Zuko gets a down played because he was a jobber most the show and was surrounded by prodigys but in reality he was still top twir

This. And Azula loses her edge and gets bested by him in the finale anyway.

I don't think Iroh was intentionally being a bad teacher in S1. Zuko was such a little shit that anything Iroh would have tried teaching him would have stuck.

>gets bested by him in the finale
Sorry I don't remember that, I remember Zuko losing and Katara beating Azula

I don't know about that. S1 Zuko was a pretty proficient combatant and you could probably thank Iroh's training for that, defeating Zhao and that whole Blue Spirit jazz.
>Remember your firebending basics, Prince Zuko. They are your greatest weapons.
>Basics, Zuko! [Close-up of Zuko's determined face.] Break his root!

Azula and Zuko held a formal duel and Azula disqualified herself by attacking a third party.

How come Tenzin or Zaheer could not do this shit?

1) They are shit compared to Aang.
2) Bryke are hack writers

Kyoshi and Roku could lava- and volcanobend, metal would still be a non-issue for him in the Avatar state.

Zaheer never trained on airbending although he's very efficient on melee combat. Melee combat + airbending it's a good combo.
Tenzin, well, i don't know. I guess he was shit and never had the chance to train in a proper airbending enviorement.
Too much of a vulgar display of power?

Any Iroh and Azula r34?

MASTER of all four elements.

the scene was an outlier, Aang never uses airbending at that level again.

He uses it agaisnt Ozai.

Neither of them fought an eruption.

I wish I was an earth bender so I could fuck off to the nearest desert and build my own autism world out of rocks.

the only comparable airbending was finale Aang in the Avatar State, and even that you can make the argument Aang's airbending in The Fortuneteller was more powerful

his avatar state can do anything

Why should Aang learn metal bending? I doubt the material was used often when he was still alive

Ed wins

Elaborate

>Wasn't it established pretty early on that Iroh was a shit teacher?
From what I remember, Iroh kept beating the fundamentals into Zuko's head.

>/pol/
What?

>Forgetting that he cheated by entering an Earthbending tournament as a non-earthbender.
>It'd be like entering a fencing match with a mace

Metal ain't an element.

the episode is not on youtube, where can I see it?

not out yet, come back on the 22cd

He learned the vibrational Seismic Sense

And at the end of Sozin's comet he combined that with the Avatar state to completely disarm Ozai

What can Ed do if Aang traps his limbs in stone so he can't clap?

cry mostly, maybe scream out insults futility, probably try to carve a circle into the rock

What can Aang do if Ed traps his ass in a metal cage with shackles?

Breath of fire

If this is for DB, why does this matter? Can't he just bend a bunch of other shit that will always be present around his opponent unless they fight in a literal vacuum?

In the Avatar state Aang was capable of blowing the top of the temple of the avatar, Kyoshi could split a continent in two. It would need to be one hell of a sturdy metal cage to stand that

Ed could only pull something like that off depending on the environment, i.e. when they needed to trap Gluttony he couldn't just make a cage he had to take the steel role from the train tracks. There's a State Alchemist that seems to be able to just make huge iron contraptions whenever he wants but that was his specialty.

To be honest, Aang has a much easier time disabling Ed's alchemy than vice versa. Just freeze his arm in ice and he can't do shit.

cool, still has an AP lead that could let him one shot Edward.

Ed can still use drawn circles, he isn't limited to clapping

then he freezes the other hand

you aren't really familiar with FMA, are you?

That's far more slower.

Katara wasn’t even much of a teacher.

The moment aang tried water bending he was instantly better than her.

At best she was a sparring partner.

Freezes it so he can't make a damn circle with his hands. Unless Ed can draw with his feet. Which wouldn't be too surprising, he's a resourceful shit.

>Korra actually learned many more advanced techniques than Aang did
Korra couldn't even lightning bend when it was a blue collar job.

>Sorry anons but Korra was the stronger of the two.
Korra literally never wins a fight in the Avatar State.

you can just have a circle on your body, every other state alchemist does it
Ed never does it, but if Aang gets to have all his lifetimes of knowledge then I'm pretty sure Ed can do a basic thing he's seen loads of times

Death Battle response threads are like a one upped version of being angry that some kid in your class said their favorite character would beat yours up

>Ed never does it
>But if Aang gets to do a thing he does multiple times in the past, Ed gets to do a thing he never does

Sure

>Except Zuko, he literally just had the best teachers around like Iroh and Piandao.
>the best teachers around like Iroh
Iroh was keeping Zuko from learning new firebending moves thus stopping him from utilising his potential because in AtLA universe you need to be attuned to the way you are using the element (exept when you are a mery sue like katara) and by that he stopped Zuko being consumed by his rage and becoming Ozai 2.0 scarface boogaloo of course this also meant that Zuko for years was psychologically tormented by the lack of visual progress in his bending which led him to come up with bending moves on his own and also preserved prince's three greatest weakness as a combatant which were unwillingness to remorselessly hurt people, hangups with using his element and aversion to violence in general
throughout the series Iroh was doing what he thought was best first for greater good (bringing down his own country and reinstituting the avatar) and everything else including Zuko came second and even then the old man was more trying to get his own dream retirement with his "son" reather than help Zuko grow up into a man that while remaining a good person accepts and can deal with his anger and is able to exercise power when the situation calls for it

in general Zuko lacked a positive masculine role model which was a source of majority of problems in his life
