>>116690676>They were at least consistant with their own setting and rules.Glad to know you already gave up on the stupid 400 years claim. Good boy.
And no it wasn't consistent at all. Somehow one nation had all of the tech and a giant mechanical drill that breaches earthbender city walls in a world where coal power was still revolutionary, people still lived in mud huts and where the greatest earthbender cities had to rely on gravity for quick transportation.
It's bullshit writing that only exists for the sake of allowing the fire nation to be at the brink of winning the war.
>Retconning the lore is not "expanding" it.There is no retcon. Katara explicitly mentions the avatar spirit when Aang lost his cool at the air temple, proving the common knowledge regarding Raava. Its name and story were simply lost in time just like energybending and lion turtles.
Telling the story of the very first Avatar is by definition expanding the lore and your favorite character getting axed in order for the story to make its point and become its own thing instead of a simple retelling is actually a good thing.
Moreover nothing about bending was retconned. Lion turtles gave some people the ability to bend and then went away while some animals plus the moon spirit taught people how to properly do it.
>The bloodbending and lavabending rules in LoK were bullshit.Bloodbending was a new discovery during ATLA and having people master it over time is to be expected just like any other form of bending.
Lavabending is stated to be rare but its nature is no different to waterbenders being able to freeze water and airbenders being able to keep themselves from freezing by agitating the air around them.
>Stop inserting words in people's mouths.Stop ignoring canon dialogue. A couple of bad apples do not spoil the bunch unless you're a collectivist bug.
