>>106602000>>106602170To better explain why I reached these conclusions and arguments. I will try to explain in a condensed format using bullet points.
A. Bending was learned by their culture's respective animals.
Water - Moon spirits/ Koi fish. Fire - Dragons/Sun. Air-Bisons. Earth- Badger moles.
B. Older civilizations,cultures existed and still exist to approve that this was indeed the way they learnt their cultures and customs.
The Northern Water Tribe built a entire shrine around the Koi fish and Yue turned into the Moon.
C. Bending is assumed to be genetic but in some cases it is not. See Toph and Katara.
D. Bending is implied to be achievable through spiritual means but it is very unlikely. Someone can lose their drive (Zuko) and lose their bending. While he did not completely lose his ability, it was severely diminished.
E. Multiple spirit forms with vast knowledge have "co signed" that the cultural icons that the nations currently have are indeed not bullshit.
Koh in example, remembered when the Spirits of the Moon and Oceans crossed over into the Spirit World.
Koh without doubt, is as old as the Moon and the Ocean.
F. Avatar Roku in his Avatar form with all of the past knowledge and skills of the previous Avatars, even the first one, told Aang how the Avatar State worked.
Yet all of this is bullshit because ________?
