What if THEY could Bend? Picking Elements for the Main Non-Benders | Avatar The Last Airbender

From my perspective Ty Lee moves like air bender, not like Aang, but a little bit similar to Zaheer.

There is a theory that Ty Lee is a descendant of a family that migrated from the Air Temples . She is airbender but she hasnt discovered yet in that time . Acrobatic skills, can block chi path and even her face similar to aang’s could be proof this theory.

Ty Lee is a airbndr. Mai is a Firebndr. Suki as a Earthbndr. and Sokka as a Waterbndr. I hope you’ll except my selection as a bender.

i feel like Mei would be a combustion bender since she would be so disciplined in her bending abilities

there was a theory suggested that Ty Lee's family was secretly an airbender who survived the genocide but hid in firenation to avoid suspecions. but with the presence of war they kept it in secret. which explains why Ty Lee is very agile like an air nomad. her name also fits as an Airbender. why? Air nomad names where inspired by Chinese. (Fire as Japanese, Water as South East Asians, and Earth as also chinese [though Kyoshi is a Japanese figure but mostly were Chinese inspired like biefong and basing sie great wall])

I'd argue Mai would be Water and just use well-aimed icicles while her personality could be seen as going with the flow calm seas up until a storm kicks up. Also something something, "icy personality" joke. Ty Lee is literally female Twinkle Toes while the waterbending aspects could be chalked up to Iroh's philosophy of learning from the other styles or the fact that we already know that bending styles can also evolve and vary, like North Water Tribe bending vs Swamp Tribe waterbending or Sun Warriors firebending vs Fire Nation firebending vs Republic City firebending.

I think Sokka would be a fire bender or a water bender with a bit of fire bending temper. He has a temper which we've seen throughout and he's not afraid to hurt someone if it came to it. The air benders were passive benders who went off kindness and gentleness as their nature and while they were dangerous in sense of power they were not known as being angered easily nor were they known to hurt people. Water bending is a go with the flow style, all water benders had that, I bet even Hama did before her time in captivity destroyed her sanity. They were known as level headed and could think on their feet and keep calm. This is actually why I'd say he'd be a water bender because of the leadership skills he demonstrates throughout the show and keeps on pushing ahead. I don't think he could even be an earth bender, he's impatient and an 'on the go can't wait' person, he needs to keep moving and that's not the quality of an earth bender. So Sokka fits water or fire. Ty Lee actually seems more of an air bender. She's a bit aggressive but that could be due from being raised inside the fire nation but as many have pointed out she has a lot of air bender qualities and her facial features match that to Aang as well. Not to mention air and water are both fluid and graceful but can also be terrifying and powerful. Both matters, gas and liquid, move similarly despite being different and that is actually one of the theories on why Aang was able to learn water bending so easily because of how similar they are. But the way Ty Lee moves, it's almost like she's gliding on air and it almost seems like not even wind could stop her. So I think air bending would fit much better. those are the only two I saw not fitting with what you had said, the others fit in my eyes.

Ty Lee is probably the most spiritual non bender, also her fighting style involves a lot of dodging and evading, which is more of an air bender tactic. So for her air I say. Sokka is a pretty non spiritual character, focusing more on the material world. If he did become an air bender he would be like Kioshi's mom and have to rely on fans for his air bending to have potency. That said he would be an innovator in it. Mai I see more as an earth bender, metal bender more specifically, do to how it wouldn't really interfere with her current style. In fact it would enhance it with homing weapons and even a very painful and crude form of blood bending, using the weapons in her opponent as points of control. Though if she did become a fire bender she would use Azula's style over the standard style. Suki however I am more likely to call a water bender because in her instructions to Sokka are about using your opponent's strength and momentum against them. Flowing your opponents attack into your attack.

w video homie. I would love to see a what if ALTA with this concept in the story. I can't imagine boomerang with Airbending, he'd accidently kill someone .😂

2:26 It's for a lot of reasons. That being one of them.

Keep up the good work love the content.

In my opinion u had just mai and ty lee right but for sokka dead wrong cause it should be noted that despite how free and creative air bending is it requires focus and patience none of which sokka possesses(this can also be seen when korra takes longer to master air bending and tazan told her it was because she lacked focus and patience,it can also be seen from zaheer when he learnt to fly it required focus and a free mind)the preferred element for soka is water bending cause let's be open soka is more of the defensive than the offensive and the element thats adjusts to that describtion is water.Water bending is more of a defensive bending because its about the flow of chi and defending the offenders offensive blow and rechanelling it to attack.as for suki ill give her air bending cause of her movements are light,agile,controlled yet firece like that of an air bender she portrays a sense of focus patience and determination as well.

I Can see why you conclude TyLee to be for water bending, to use someone’s energy against them, and know the human body

I agree on all of these. Merry Christmas, J2A TV.

So I agree with sokka being an airbender, but i would say airbending fits ty lee even better. Everything about her screams Airbender to the point my own headcannon is she is descended from air nomad survivors who ended up living in hiding in the fire nation after the genocide

Dude you are really professional i was shocked to see you arent 100k

Ty Lee Airbender, Mai Firebender, Suki Earthbender and Sokka Waterbender 💙💙💙

This is one of the best Avatar video I have ever seen

I see Suki as an earth bender, Ty Lee as an air bender, and I think Sokka would more than likely be a water bender but more offensive. I could see him as an air bender as well. I agree with Mai, she's most def a fire bender. For a few that were not mentioned, I think Jett would ironically be a fire bender. I think Asami from Korra would also be fire.

The video is fun and interesting. But please add more furniture in your room to reduce the eco effect. (I do not know how you can change it via video software)
