Avatar Discussion Thread

They say that the staff can "channel the vast power of the spirit world" like 3 times in the film. Like that wording exactly like twice and another "the power of the spirit world" statement later.
That does not mean the sum totality of the spirit world combined, which would be an enormous outlier compared to all actual feats within this verse. 🙏

If the novel comes out and clarifies that yes, it means the entirety of the spirit world, than we'll have to use that.

Plus, the avatar state is already said to channel the "cosmic energy of the universe", so it's not coming completely out of left field.
 
Personally, I'm only okay with Universal/Tier 2 tiers applying to the Environmental Destruction feats of characters like Vaatu, Raava, UnaVaatu, and the like. The imbalance of Spirits during Harmonic Convergence has been stated to be capable of causing the destruction of both the physical and spiritual worlds, but it's not something physical tiers would downscale from.

This is where I moreso stand at too. Plus even if the Staff has tier 2 power, wouldn’t you only get the tier via the staff? I highly doubt the staffs power would regularly scale to any Avatar or individual using it.
 
By the way, the staff seems to be able to control minds? Taga seemed to have used it to take command of Appa and the user can get corrupted.

Should Aang get Mind Manip or Corruption resistance for being able to resist the staff and break it?

EDIT: Also Telekinesis for lifting Sonams temple?

Didn't even think about the staff potentially affecting Appa. I thought he had just been completely dejected after Tagah left Aang behind. Though Aang already has mind manipulation resistance on his profile via Yangchen being immune to the fog of lost souls.

Oh I see. Yeah Taga seemed to have controlled Appa when using him as his ride off of the island.
 
Wouldn't that just be Animal control not mind control?
Also I just interpreted it as him being able to control Appa due to being the last air bender after Aang """"died"""".

Hmm fair. But the staff did seem to have a mind corrupting component from how Aang and Taga lost control/rampaged when using it in fairness too.
 
Should the energy wave that came from Tagah being freed from the mountain scale to anything? Avatar Sonam did seal him away with energybending, after all. Also, that feat finally proves that the tree of time isn't the only thing that avatars can seal their opponents into, so you were right about that, Kukui.
 
I went and gathered a bunch of instances of Benders surviving attacks from each other.

The current pages claim there's a massive disparity between their physical durability (9-A) and their AP with Bending ("8-B/8-A/Low 7-C/7-C with Bending"). But that seems really odd given how often Benders take attacks from each other and this just tends to result in them knocking each other down, being sent flying, or at worst being rendered unconscious. A person with 9-A durability receiving a Tier 8/7 attack would just straight up die lol

Very nice list. You can also add how benders physically exert themselves while bending like Toph and Aang, as well as how bending is never really implied to be separate from their physical strength (for example, Ozai saying that the comet amps firebenders by 100x)

I mean the Avatars honestly shouldve had it since Roku was able to seal the doors to his shrine shut and made it so no one could open them outside of him. But this cements it completely.

I’m pretty sure Sonam made that mountain to seal him, I could be misremembering though.
 
Also off topic, but shouldn't Katara get some kind of Life Manipulation now with her healing? She mentioned that the water on the lion turtle island, infused with their spirit energy, was able to enhance her bending to bring the Gaang back to life. Basically the same as the spirit water in book 2, but Katara should now have that ability going forward.

I'm pretty certain she didn't mean that her bending was permanently given those properties.

i agree their base durability needs be upgraded its very common when their bending attacks collide causes explosions. explosions have heat knock back taruma etc and they dont really seem get badly injured and can get up right away. or getting hit by bending isnt like instant you die besides lighting

I mean, it doesn't seem like a tempoary boost since Katara herself was brought back to life from the water, who then immediately replicated the skill on the rest. The way the statement was phrased suggested that her bending was permanently enhanced by the lion turtles spirit water.

And for what its worth, this would coincide with how Katara by Korra's time is known across the world as the best healer, and how her healing could do things like keep Jinora's body alive while her soul was trapped in the spirit world for extended periods of time. And she was the only one who could keep her alive until she was freed.

^ people forget this movie is between the two shows
 
No, not yet anyway. But im curious about this supposed feat.
Without spoiling too much, it's a spiritual amp that buffs bending power. When Roku felt it, he became concerned that a small group of earthbenders could use it to shift several continents. Through scaling, it's good supporting evidence of the avatar's current rating of 5-C.

There's also an ancient scroll written by a guy who claims that firebenders used the amp to move the sun, though unfortunately the scroll is apocryphal.

I don't think continent shifting supports 5-C... that's more of a 6-A feat and that depends on the magnitude and the sizes of the continents

I know. I meant that the statement is relatively close to 5-C and well above island-level, which is where a lot of people offsite seem to put the verse.

Roku and sozin just from entering the cave can accidentally bend blue fire and later on in Roku's case can bend white flames(hotter than blue) then when charging up his blue flames he can make iridescent flames(dragon fire) not even sozin's comet +the avatar state can give you that type of power

The sacred cave gives such a boost that it can make 3 water benders do the job that would take hundreds of waterbenders to do

Where is it stated that white flames are hotter than blue? Because I always heard the opposite is true.

Roku had previously used blue fire and while the power surprised him, they weren't burning his hands like the white fire is doing here

Way to change your standards back and forth writers.

I am quite positive Blue Fire was stated to be hotter than white regarding Azula's Blue fires. Plus Blue fire is the hottest IRL
