>>84467708>I would definitely believe he is capable of doing it but I don't think they don't show itI recall there was a similar under the table hand wave regarding how Aang survived being frozen in an iceberg through making a cocoon of energy or something.
Which brings me to my next point, if we're talking the strongest bending style it's energybending. Even if you don't like LoK it shows up in ATLA. You can remove bending, give bending, bend in the spirit realm, bend rays of light, create an astral projection that can bend. If OP wants us to pointlessly go down the road of ultimatum that is the final Fuck You style of bending.
Of course there's the drawback of having a weak spirit and all that nonsense, but it's a self-defeating weakness since anyone who can acquire Energybending to begin with is obviously extremely capable and willpowered.
I mean people complain about the cop out of consequences from not killing Ozai, but I felt the bigger gripe was honestly trying to sell the fake out that Aang would be overtaken by Ozai. This kid, the Avatar, has gone through all this spiritual bullshit, demonstrated he's able to now control his berserk state while the unhinged Comet Ozai is going apeshit and I'm really supposed to buy he's going to slip now?
Really? Get the fuck out. With Neo and Smith it was unclear who would win because Smith had gone through as much sudden development as Neo, so the stakes were relatively even, but since Ozai was shelved so long there was absolutely no reason to buy that this guy whose only real achievement was scarring his son who was unwilling to even fight is in any shape way or form that big a deal.
If it were Azula or Iroh I'd humor the possibility of Aang being in danger, but all Ozai ever did was nothing. That was his big thing. His wife left, nothing, he kicks his own son out and his brother ends up doing a better job raising him, nothing, his daughter runs off with her friends and gets more done than the Firelord, nothing.
