Earth >>>> Water >= Fire >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Air

You seem to have forgotten the way those signs work. The better one's supposed to be on the larger end.

Still, forgetting your punctuation mistake, I generally agree with your list.

Wood is water, and metal is Earth

I asked this, because that is the element wheel in eastern culture. Fire, Wind, Water, Earth, Wood, and Metal. Heaven or spirit too if asking in China or Japan. Anyway wood and metal are own thing.
In the west, there is Fire, Wind, Water, Earth, and sometimes Aether (Might be spelled wrong).

Earth is great ONLY if you live in a rural area. Just try earthbending in a suburban/city environment.

No it’s not retard.
Literally every county in the world subscribed to
Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Aether/Void.
China is the only country who had a special snowflake elemental system.

Tiger, Dragon, Turtle, Phoenix, and Huang Long ( center dragon)

There's also the fact that fire bending would be more conducive to being combined with technology/gadgetry.
This, used offensively, fire, and pretty much any form of energy manipulation, has very, very strong offensive capabilities; but death, especially graphic death, is generally forbidden in kids' entertainment.

>Korra was so fucking bad that it killed the franchise
>Comics followed it later

well no new book where the Grandson of Bolin becomes the new avatar and murders Korra for fucking with the Spirit and Material world, and restoring the balance in a WW2 Setting.

Full Metal Alchemist >>>>>>>> ATLA

Earthbending anywhere in a modern setting would be asking for problems, most people have no clue just how many utility lines are below ground, and how often you'll come across them if you look. (via metal detector)

that would have ruined the outcome the writers wanted

seething ed-fag detected

the franchise was already dead after ATLA

cope

>Stomps foot.
>Spike impales girls cunts all the way to their heads.

Imagine being an Earthbender wearing plate armor and not being able to root yourself in the ground.
And also covering your eyes when you have masked helmets.

Everyday usefulness (eg non combat):
>Earth>air>fire>>>water

I can just imagine an Earth Kingdom city looking like a Minecraft anarchy server spawn.

Air straight up beats Earth in all ways. A master airbender can outmaneuver and even blow away any earth launched at them. Even a metalbender would have their work cut out for them although they could win if they get enough metal on the airbender at once.

Earth>Fire>=Air>Water
Water is weakened/fucked in too many places

Water is just Earthbending except you can only do it near fucking water. It's only good for medicinal bending and bloodbending which only top tier elite masters can do for some reason.

But what about magnets?

>No far right Avatar who goes on a holy crusade against spirits and kills anyone who defends them
Why live?

>water is the least useful

There's a fuck ton you can do with water. Air is the least practical in everyday use.

Should fall under earth.

I honestly can't think of any practical uses for water bending in the real world unless maybe your city was directly on top of a lake.

Yangchen did that, but for evildoers instead of spirits.

And both were already covered n Avatar so there is no point in adding in two extra Chinese style ones.
