If you were a bender in the world of Avatar, which element would you bend?

[Snoopy Fan 8,482]

Air, Water, Earth, or Fire?

[Clawdeen 21,536]

I went with fire bender because I’d like to start fires. Although Smokey the Bear may not like me very much

Earth bender i guess. Since i work in agriculture.

Given the pros and cons of each style:  Earth  

I think earth is when it comes to just having the less weakness is earth.

I really like this questions!!

So, I never got around to watching the series but my lovely friend @Sir Hugsalot has been trying to get me into it since forever! My actual element is water but I have always been attracted to air. The light-hearted, fluffy, no heavy weight manner in which the air element just flies off into the sunset to enjoy things. I think airbender would be quite enjoyable for me.

I don't know ... I guess perhaps Earth?

Sorry, this is something I've never seen and am not totally familiar with, though I have heard about it.

Settling on Earth, but more-so its advanced form; lava bending.  2 known characters Ghazan (antagonist) and Bolin (protagonist) used it for many situations in combat.  Yet I wonder if small rocks can be lava bent to shape as arrowhead, spear or needle projectiles to cripple strong doors or used to connect on impact against groups of enemies

Fire. I'm not turning down the opportunity to turn myself into the Human Torch

I’d be a fire bender. I like fire; it’s pretty and nothing really beats it. I used to be a firebug when I was little and I guess it never went away 100%. I guess world-destroying habits die hard.

It's really hard to decide! Can't I just be the avatar?  If not I guess water? But I'd probably change my mind.

I think I remember you hadn't seen the show. Have you watched it yet?

@Fluttershutter I did try watching a few of the animated episodes and they seemed pretty much the same as the 2010 movie, which everyone hated for some reason. I loved the movie, and hated the 2024 live action series, but the animated series wasn’t hugely different from either in terms of story. I liked the old show better than the 2024 live-action series, but that’s more a matter of casting and direction than story. What surprises me is the fact that Airbender fans LOVE the animated series but are absolutely vitriolic about the M. Night Shyamalan movie, although there are no fundamental differences that I’m seeing. Maybe I need to watch more of the old show, but I think the differences are something for die-hard fans to discern rather than the casual viewer.

Seeing all the people picking fire pleases me greatly.

I didn't watch the live action series and it's a long time since I saw the movie but as I recall the story was pretty similar but it just abruptly ended. There's a lot more story in the cartoon.

People hated the movie for a lot of reasons. Katara and Sokka were terribly cast, I think Aang was okay and don't remember much about the other characters. And after great animation CGI looks really unimpressive. Other things I've forgotten, I'm sure.

You should watch The Last Airbender and Korra before Seven Havens comes out.
