Legend of Korra - I think Airbenders should be stronger

Over the weekend, my friend and I began watching the Legend of Korra series on Netflix. It's a continuation of the Last Airbender series from a couple of years ago.

I started seeing it on Nickelodeon some years ago but life and school and other stuff happened so I couldn't even get to the end of season 1.

Recently, I've gotten to complete the second season and well, it has been so dope, to say the least.

What I love the most about movies is character development. I love to see how the writer can use the occurrences in the plot to shape and develop a character's personality and strength.

Legend of Korra had just that. I loved Korra ability to grow during the series and at the end of every season, we can see some obvious changes in her and easily pinpoint what exactly made her so different.

The Benders strengths

In the first Avatar series, the fire benders were seen as the strongest nation. Fire is destructive so it only makes sense that they have the kist strength.

Anng being the only air bender made the air bending skill quite childish. I think it could have been better.

Assuming the ability to bend an element is dependent on its availability, air should be just as or even stronger than fire.

Fire benders produce their fire from within. Water and air benders need their elements to be available. Unless of course, you're referring to blood bending, the most dangerous of all kinds of bending. Fire and air are always available.

Air benders should be able to destroy everything. Their ability to bend air should not exactly be directed towards only controlling its movement but also suction and removal from an object or human.

Air benders should be just as destructive as blood benders. Their ability to move air should make it possible for them to stop a person breathing and kill them instantly.

I think their power was downplayed and reduced to simply pushing things about when it could have been used for more dangerous situations.

Well, I'll just assume the writer was working according to his audience and did what would not be considered too ghastly for the eyes and mind.

I'll be completing the rest of the series soon and maybe seeing the first series again because there's so much need to understand.

Thanks for reading!
