Lol, I find that despite "mastering the elements" being said at least a dozen times just to Aang alone, he doesn't really do that with the remaining 3 elements. He was the only remaining Airbending master left alive, and by extension the best. Even Tenzin might not have exceeded his Airbending prowess, and he's an exclusive Airbender. But at the same time, while Katara probably tried her best to teach Aang everything she could, she never taught him to heal, a great ability to have, and obviously she didn't want to pass on the ability to Bloodbend. Toph never taught him to Metalbend, either, and it's painfully clear that his Earthbending prowess was inferior to hers even without that in mind. Zuko, in the short time he had to teach him, tried just as hard as Katara, but even he lacked the ability to generate lightning, so he had no way of teaching Aang even if he was capable.

Interesting stuff, if you think about it. Imagine if he could lightning-bend, or heal his own injuries...
