>>109001894I can understand air because you can create a vacuum and force air very easily. But water is really freaking heavy. If you have a gallon that's about 8 lb. It really depends on the writer in general but I imagine because I have a pool and I know how hard it is to move through water at the rate of expansion in which water is moved is going to take a lot longer then instant transportation is going to allow.
Generally in Media the only time teleportation in water is used is when someone is already inside of water and they jump somewhere else they take some of the water with them. Implying there's a spiracle radius around them. Nightcrawler doesn't really teleport the air around him with him just the physical objects. Logically he'd have to teleport a sphere of atmosphere with him in order to teleport underwater. In which would rise post teleportation. But nightcrawler is an amorphous teleporter not a spherical one.
The writers can do whatever they want but water is too physical for Nightcrawler to realistically teleport into
