"You're weak! Just like the rest of your people! They did not deserve to exist in this world!"

"You're weak! Just like the rest of your people! They did not deserve to exist in this world!"

Did he have a point?

No, strength is relative and by his logic all people in the world including his people should be genocided by any group that happens to be stronger.

He got beat up by a 12 year old so at the very least he didn't put much thought into his life philosophy.

I guess, if you're a Nazi. I say this as a Trump voter too.

>Strength is relative
Then relatively speaking air-benders were weak as fuck, despite some ludicrous kill counts by certain individuals.

No because he lost and the fire nation guys were still around lol

No.
The Air Nomads had the smallest population and the Fire Nation had the power boost from Sozin's Comet along with the advantage of a sneak attack. If anything, the Fire Nation should be seen as weak if they couldn't beat them under normal circumstances.

I like the theory that air benders used to be super hardcore mongol types who became peaceful nomads.

Air bending can be used crazy lethally. Hell, imagine air bending archers.

no, once we acquired the ability to farm and domesticate animals we had evolved past having to have natural selection dictate our evolution as a species, and the concept of "weakness" changed definition in regards to our survival. Some people don't understand that, and that's where you get people talking about killing off the disabled. Fact is, when we lived in trees and ate fruit someone with two broken legs was a liability and had to be left to die. Once we had the ability to create jobs and purposes that could facilitate those with different capability, that stopped being a concern. So no, the Air Benders might have been "weak" in an idiotic definition of "durr hurr they like niceness and being good, so dey are weak" but they were not weak in general and they only lost and were massacred because the Fire Nation's definition of strength included skill in murdering. Their idiotic, immature. and childlike understanding of strength stole air bender skills and culture from the world.

Ozai did nothing wrong

IT WAS ANOTHER TIME

no, he was insane and on a massive power trip.

>Because people can redefine what Strength means in Current year, that means the Air Benders weren’t weak
Weakness as a concept did not change it’s definition as society developed, It just expanded to include weakness of other aspects.

what did he do right tho?

Weren't they killed when Sozins Comet came along the first time and gave the firenation a power-up?

fire bending is objectively the weakest and most useless power. It just looks strong.

see

According to Korra they were always peaceful nomads

According to everything in avatar guy and even though you are peaceful dont mean you dont know how to fight

Well, there are airbenders that rejected the monastery life style.

Mongol Air Benders could still happen.

>air bending archers
Or just bending the air in someone's body. Forcing air into someone's lungs/ear canals/sinuses could produce some fascinating cases of barotrauma.
Realistically, fire should be the hardest one to actually use effectively.

Typical chaosfag. I'm glad that Aang kicked his ass in.

Thank god i ignore korra existed.

>attack the air nomads during Sozin's Comet
>Gyatso stands his ground, taking many firebenders with him

fire nation bunch of sissies

Did that come from the show in general or the dumb bimbo herself? Can't really take anything she says to heart.

He WAS cucked

Doesn't bloodbending mean that waterbenders are technically the most dangerous of all (in a one on one)? I mean, they get line of sight of you and bam, blood clot at the brain stem. Basically what I'm saying is, how was the firelord never assassinated?

Anyone else still a little pissy about the turtle lion ass pull?

ACKSHUALLY, all bending is super deadly if you go for the one hit kill cheapshots.
Which is weird because we see very little of it so much as attempted in either series.

After korra, the faults of the original series do not exist, it is now perfect since it doesn't end in yuri.

>Did that come from the show in general
Yep. The Wan episodes that everyone and their hyperbole loved so much did a show and tell that had the air nomads (stationary on a lion turtle as their home) being peaceful with the spirits. Also Korra is as smart as the show and the show is as smart as all the characters.

Only because in the world of Avatar, getting hit in the face by a fireball does nothing besides sending you flying a few feet. Also lightning is so slow it takes seconds to reach its target.

Every type of bending would be absolutely lethal in a more realism oriented setting, but Avatar is not like that. Not that there's anything wrong with it.

pretty much this

The firelord was a hypocrite anyway, a liar, because any leader that truly believes in such ideology would doom his own society in weeks, because you can't manage a group with "the weak ones should be killed off", otherwise children, women and smart people(you know, like the scientist that build their battleships) would be killed and thus over the course of just a few weeks or months the fire nation would be doomed.
But of course he doesn't use his ideals on his own people, because he realize that. He just used "they are weak, therefore deserve to die" as an excuse to kill people that didn't want to kiss his ass.

Of course not. He was just such a shitty villain that you're trying mental gymnastics to convince yourself that he's not that fucking boring.

Ozai might not be that interesting, but the show was very smart about using him. He had sparse appearances, and every time he did appear, it was either to heighten dramatic tension or to impact another character, mainly Zuko. Contrast this to Unalaq, who was just sort of there, babbled a lot, then fight scene, the end.

>muh Social Darwinism
No

So, this one time, a buddy and I had a disagreement about who'd win in a fight.

And this other time, late at night, I was going fucking nuts on PCP so I broke into his house, castrated him, and locked him in a closet until he bled to death.

I mean, if he was strong enough to deserve to live, I wouldn't have been able to do that, right?

Airbenders aren't weak, see the anarchist dude from Korra's season 3. But they were pacifists so they refused to abuse their strength and fight back.

Bloodbending is too rare and difficult to teach, because full moon and all. It's about as common as Combustion powers like Combustion Man/Woman had.

>bend away oxygen
>no fire
Fire Nation was lucky Air Nation was a bunch of pacifist vegetarians

>Fire bending
Burn out their eyes, lava bending
>Earth bending
Impalement
>water bending
Send water to the brain to cause brain damage, fucking up blood vessels with blood bending
>Air bending
Pure oxygen will kill people, taking your breath away

Also according to Korra airbenders started giving out tattoos to babies and peasants before air bending was a thing. Korra sucks, forget it happened.

The porn is good though

True.

but the quality of porn is always independent of the quality of the thing it's based on.

And while having the Comet boost.

Air-benders can force air to shred a person's lungs/innards, asphyxiate them by cutting their oxygen flow. They could force razor sharp air, ripping through every exposed/non-air tight area on an opponent's bod.

If they are powerful enough or in sufficient numbers, they could in theory create hurricanes, tornadoes, violent weather phenomenon or give an unlucky chap a one-way trip to the stratosphere.

I have a point, I can unzip it to you

hi Sup Forums, Sup Forums here; just wanted to check if you were redpilled yet? No? Well that's okay, I guess, I'll just keep posting the same 3 ham-fisted prompts until you are.
And the really good news is that I can 'ironically' use Hitler analogs and get guaranteed 300+ replies just because it still feels edgy to our collectively dulled moral code.
