I guess you'd have to be very careful because wouldn't you put out the fire a majority of the time? Oh, I guess you can make a fire tornado!

matter isn't an element

>matter isn't an element
>implying you're literally manipulating ONE single element

That'd mean water benders can't bend water because it contains oxygen which is in air...

i've had conversations like this with my friends so many times, the argument usually is that water is the best because you can effectively bend anything so long as it has water in it, but the concept is annoying because under that same logic anything with a common atmospheric gas in it can be bent and anything with metal or minerals in it can be bent

air and (metal) earth benders could blood bend because blood carries oxygen/carbondioxide and iron, water benders couldn't bend blood but they could bend the water in the bloodstream

fire is the weirdest one because it's a chemical reaction that requires quantities of specific matter to work at all. you're more or less just triggering combustion and controlling its direction and scale. the mechanics of lightning bending just confuses me

imo it makes more sense to limit the other 3 bending abilities to more pure forms of the elements in questions like this

^ you can't bend anything. Bloodbending is rare and taboo and extremely difficult. You also can't bend metal for the same reasons.

with airbbending you can fly and do that little ball speed-up. dibs 100%. followed by earth I think, because that looks objectively useful.

tell that to everyone i know who favors water bending smh

also, to be fair, metal bending in the legend of korra is common
