Anon, there are different styles you know. All I'm saying is that the potential is there for earthbenders to be quite agile, instead of being slugs like the stereotype suggests. Now this stereotype is not strictly accurate, but it's true that earthbenders were on average the slowest of the elements. So it might be nice to see an earthbender who was actually very agile, and wasn't a pushover like The Gecko or The Gopher.

And Mysteria I agree about the rock hanging explanation. It's kinda weak. We saw no signs of magnetism. Although to be fair, there is technically nothing to disprove it right now. I personally always thought of it like waterbenders standing on water, except earthbenders using their feet to scale/hang from walls. I like your theory though. It's more scientific.
