I kind of agree, I just feel like Ty Lee would be taller.

@ultranos

Yep, I see Ty Lee as more dangerous. I...actually see Ty Lee as one of the most dangerous, if not the most dangerous, people in the setting. Her modus operandi is to take away bending (although it’s temporary). That’s in-universe seen as terrifying. And it paralyzes you as well, to add insult to injury. Aang had to go on a quest to figure that out. Ty Lee just...Elle Woods it. “What, like it’s hard?”

Her basic attack very clearly states “if I wanted, you would be dead now. You and everything you love would be dead now. If I wanted. And you couldn’t do anything to stop me.” It’s something that not only hits physically, but mentally and emotionally too. And spiritually, if you’re a bender.

And she doesn’t even give you the benefit of a warning sign! No, Ty Lee is a bright and bubbly teenage girl who’s small and smiling and unassuming in bright pink. She’s weaponized people’s tendency to underestimate her.

Azula is dangerous, yes. But...okay, Azula is like a great white shark. You see her, you see the teeth, you know “danger!”.

Zuko: Momo's sword is actually a wakizashi, it's too small to be a katana

Aang: wait you can see them

Aang: BUT I FORGOT MY PANTS AND-

Zuko, nodding: and your math test

Sokka, sprinting into the throne room: hey if we got married would I get diplomatic immunity?

Zuko: Sokka what did you do

Sokka: wedding first, questions later

I rewatched both shows at the same time, of course this was gonna happen

HOW DID I FOGET ABOUT WHEN BUMI EARTH BENT HIS BONES???????

HE EARTH BENT HIS FUCKING BONES?????

Dark! Air benders (perish the thought I can't believe I said this just kill me now) extracting the oxygen(I mean it is a gas) from your haemoglobin to form a bubble of air and throw a air embolism which can kill you.

Oh- Dark! Air benders who can extract the bound oxygen from the Haemoglobin and not let it reach your tissues, literally suffocating you while your lungs are full of air jskjksjk-

BUT CONSIDER THIS- I LOVE THE AIR NOMADS AND THEY ARE FAR TOO SPIRITUALLY AWARE TO ABUSE THEIR POWERS- SO THEY USE THESE TALENTS FOR HEALING AMD SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE PERIODT.

Healer! Fire Benders can control your fevers before tissue damage starts. Healer! Fire Benders stopping seizures bec seizures are basically just lots of neurons firing rapidly. They'd have the most accurate nerve conductivity tests. (also they'd be so freaking useful for sterilisation in hospitals :0)

Healer! Air Benders being able to maintain tissue ventilation and blood oxygen levels by their bending, and are literal life savers in ERs when a patient is crashing. Healer! Air Benders treat CO (carbon monoxide) poisoning by extracting CO from the haemoglobin and keeping it under high enough pressure to stay dissolved till it can safely be expelled by the lungs!

Healer! Earth Bender being the best orthopaedic surgeons across the four nations and inventing newer non invasive methods for surgery and also for rapid fracture healing

Healer! Water Benders are canon so yeah- Literally every sort of bleed, blood volume and pressure ailments, kidney filtration, any sort of fluid collection in the peritoneum etc. it's all unde control if you have a Healer! Water Bender around

Me, seeing y’all excluded Suki:
