*puppetmaster spoiler* bloodbending

[iamthatiam]

if you can bend the water inside a person, what's to stop them from bending the water in thier cells and killing them, or freezing all of thier blood and killing them for that matter?

and if your an airbender what's to stop you from bending air into someones lungs and causing them to explode?

i know it's a childrens show in its base therefore it cant show things like that but i wonder...

[avielcd]

well maybe uts possible but its too powerful for anyone to do it , even the avatar

[iamthatiam]

why is it too powerful? i mean katara was able to bend the blood in that lady's body, why cant she freeze it? she can do that with water outside of the body...

katara is Stupid Think about it she can come near the Firelord (blood bend)
hes dead Everybody dances And Anng scores what is her problem?

The answer is, Katara could easily freeze someone's blood. The fact is, she won't.
Just the act of it is too evil in nature that she wouldn't use bloodbending at all if it hadn't been for that one case where she had to.
Katara could also remove all the water from a person's body.

In theory, it would be incredibly easy to kill someone with any of the bending powers.
An airbender could kill by either decreasing air pressure into a vacuum, or by increasing it until the force of the air around you crushes you.
But more simply, a powerful gust of air can throw a person with enough force to shatter bone.

Fire bending requires almost the least amount of imagination. Generate fire and turn up the heat until target stops moving.

Earth bending kills easy too. Just open the ground underneath your target and then close it. Or turn the ground into quicksand.

Waterbending (outside bloodbending) is a little more tricky and requires more intelligence, but if nothing else, you could cover someone's mouth and nose with water and freeze it.

When you get right down to it, although there are ways to easily kill people with bedning, you can't expect anything disturbing as removing the blood from a person on a show like this. However with the air bending, Aang does try to blast people with enough force to break bones, instead of opening up holes he and toph send giant boulders at peoples heads, with firebending idk how much more you can do to try to "turn up the heat" in comparrison to shooting fire out of your mouth....

So besides the waterbending all the other elements have about as brutal attacks as possible, but they just don't tend to be that effective cause the other person is doing their best to stop you.

LMAO, exactly what I was thinking ma brother! Or she could teach it Aang and then he'll get the credit if shes worried about that. With blood bending she can take out anyone... Even the Avatar himself! ^^; ;)

Yes, it's not what they do in the show. I was making the point that every bending ability can kill quickly and effectively.
Not that we'll see a lot of these different methods, rather just that they exist theoretically.
I also don't believe that Aang is actually trying to break bone with his attacks. His fighting style is more defensive.
