Talk:Earthbending

which one of the styles arte strongest

There is no strongest style. Each bending art has its own advantages and disadvantages. Avatar2097 14:05, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

It is the level of skill of the bender that detemines strength in the Avatar World.Zero 08:48, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Metalbending
Is there a source for the explanation for Toph's metalbending? I don't think it's the unrefined earth in the metal - I think it's the metal itself. Metal comes from processed ore which is dug from the earth.


 * You can try Nicks Avatar site, select season two, find the episode The Guru, select Gear and More, then click on the metal box, the explanation they give for Metalbending is there. 189.60.84.129 15:15, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Bonebending
We should remove bonebending because there is no proof or explenation from the show and therfore just speculation that may or may not come true.

I think all four kinds of bending could have potential for controlling people: Bloodbending for water (the only one confirmed), Bonebending for earth, Soulbending for fire, and, um... Oxygenbending or whatever for air. Y'know, bending the oxygen inside the blood cells or whatnot.

Also by mixing all four, Avatars could also Fleshbend: Create human bodies out of nowhere and control them like puppets. Creepy.

And that's all speculation, which doesn't belong here. 189.32.145.118 16:44, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Sure doesn't, just felt like pointing it out. And this is the talk page anyway: I'm sure we can speculate all we want in the talk page, no?

Can we? I always thought that talk pages role was limited to discussing canon facts and the like. 189.32.145.118 19:08, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Huh, I always thought they were also for asking questions and making guessed and stuff. After all, there isn't really much to discuss about canon, since there's always the Exact Correct Answer and everyone else is just wrong. That'd be just boring, debating about those.

Where did you come up with this idea of bonebending!? It does not make sence at all. Also how could a firebender soulbend? A waterbender could just controll your intire body because the human body is roughly 70% water. Scott 00:26, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Don't bother replying, those messages have been there for quite a while now, they were there long before I became a lurker here, I have more contributions in this Wikia as an IP address that as a registered member. The idea does make sense though. Omnibender 00:47, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

That was you before you made your account? Also did you see the new abridged vid? Scott 01:21, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, according to the page history, that entry is from February this year. And I have not seen it. Yet. Omnibender 02:03, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Sections
Shouldn't there be a section explaining enhanced Earthbending, like they have in Fire and Water? Earthbending is stronger during springtime. There should also be a section for Spirituality and Earthbending, to give more emphasis in the more spiritual part of the origin of Earthbending, the whole Oma and Shu meeting themselves with the glowing crystals. Just so the articles have a more even look. 189.4.243.36 19:35, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Every Nation gets its bending slightly enhaced during its season so i dont thik it should be mentioned in that category.Zero 22:24, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

sandbenders
sandbenders seem like tusken raiders

That's a coincidence.--Munkiman 00:18, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Or maybe that was their inspiriation. Zero - Talk 08:49, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Sense Vibrations
I think we should add that any earthbender is capable of sensing vibrations in the ground, like Toph can. Aang did it in The Runaway, so it seems to be possibly for others besides Toph. But "vibration sensing" is a stupid name. Anyone have a better name for the technique?--Munkiman 00:18, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * A mention to it could work. It would seem that Earthbenders can sense the vibrations through the earth, but few are able to use them to their fullest extent. Aang can use them to fight blindfolded, Toph can do that and use the vibrations to pinpoint trace amounts of earth in an alloy, thus Metalbending. How does that sound? Omnibender 00:39, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think it should be called "Detection" thats too vague, and Omni said he didn't like "Tremorsense" because it was fan-ish sounding, which I don't agree with, unless thermokinesis sounds fan-ish, because I think they are similar in that they both explain what is being done and are mildly scientific in it, while not being vague felinoel ~ (Talk) 23:12, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

How about "Earthbending Sensory Perception". Zero - Talk 03:23, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * idk, that seems a bit too large... felinoel ~ (Talk) 03:32, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Why do you have to be so Choosy? I've seen larger. Seriously. 03:40, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Because it seems too much, the places you have seen larger were other cases, this is this case, what do others think? felinoel ~ (Talk) 05:07, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Its not that large but okay if everyone says it. Lets see what the others say. However there dont seem to be other ideas put forward. Come on. Be creative guys. Zero - Talk 06:15, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

I'd lose the Earthbending in the title, the technique is already within Earthbending, so putting Earthbending in the title would be redundant. "Sensory Perception"? Still missing something... Maybe "Seismic Sense"? It is fairly accurate. Omnibender 22:58, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
