Why does everyone think Bloodbenders can control you like a puppet?

Everytime bloodbending has happend, it's just been the victim on the ground twisted in pain.

For those Harry Potter fans out there, it's like that one curse that's forbidden.

MAYBE at an advanced level.. but that's way to difficult to get someone to actually move their arms, pick up a key, put it in the hole, etc.

It's more of a torture move than a controlling one.

Even in the flashbacks, Aang/Sokka/etc were all just incapacitated by Yakone.

As for Airbenders, if you pump the right amount of air at the right pressure into any lock, it can blow open.

Firebenders should just melt the metal.

But to truly contain a bender, just bind their limbs (and cover a firebender's mouth). Don't forget that bending requires different styles of Tai Chi style movements unique to each element.
