[quote=Gowi]One thing I especially dislike about “combustion bending” is that they can arc something that is entirely line-of-sight based. But yeah, I thought it was neat that they were going to expand on the style in Korra, but then we got like zero exposition about it which I think is Sloth’s problem with a lot of the antagonists and their bending in season three.[/quote]

Note: Sloth and Gowi are talking on Skype simultaneously while doing stuff in this thread, so there's that.

Unlike Gowi, I'm semi okay-ish with Ming-Hua, my biggest grievance with her wasn't that she could make arms out of water and use [i]those arms[/i] to bend, it's that they don't really bother to explain how she makes those arms. She just dives into a pool and comes out with water arms. I was also excited to see the return of combustion bending and finally see some exposition on how that works (more specifically what was up with that third eye stuff), but instead all we got was a single throwaway line of dialogue that might never be brought up again about some random warlord. 

The biggest difference between me and most Avatar fans I talk to is that I'm actually more than okay with Zaheer's becoming a badass airbender after only having airbending for a week or so. But that comes from me actually practicing martial arts years ago and assuming Zaheer to be an ex chi-blocker or something. But regardless, this thread has made me...well...not outright cool with it, but more accepting of Bolin's lavabending, and I s'pose lavabending in general.

Flying is still the most amazing thing in history though. /sarcasm
