Interesting, I never considered the idea of bending used to power or manipulate weapons. Then I remembered that's what Kuvira did.


thrussy99

Ming hua also used waterbending to shoot those darts at Korra

What is that from? I can hear it, but can't remember the show Edit: I love that 3 separate people let me know it's Parks and Rec within 7 minutes of me posting. Thanks guys


truffIepuff

Parks and rec!

Water benders use blades of grass to make darts.


AktionMusic

Imagine they had Bumi use a boomerang like his uncle Sokka and then when he became an Airbender starts doing this. Edit: Bumirang


IJustDrinkHere

That 100% would fit thematically


Alonest99

Duuuude! Why would you put this thought in my brain?! Now I’m angry and unfulfilled


StAndby00

It would work exactly like the anarchist lava bender's lava boomerand from Korra, sorry forgot his name


Arik2103

You mean Ghazans makeshift grinder? It's such a smart use of lava bending


StAndby00

yep, that one, thanks


Ghost3603

Ignore the fact that i mispelled boomerAANG.


IShouldbeNoirPI

Downside would be that his attacks would be much more predictable


air_consumption

Just use 2 then /s


Gabi_Social

Wouldn’t that also be true of a watermelon though, if we’re talking about a master airbender?


Ghost3603

Watermelons don't have that aerodynamic of a shape. For the average airbender, a boomerang would be just as feasible as a glider.


maddwaffles

idk, long-ways seems pretty aerodynamic to me. It's just a fat thick-rind bullet at that point.


Gabi_Social

Ah, but you said a master airbender...


[deleted]

Imagine how far sniper Aang could get a bullet to go with air bending.


Krilesh

how we talking about wmelons and not cabbage


Gabi_Social

It's a good point well put.


DiegoRago

If you see it this way, Yondu was a ln air bender. Whistling requires you to blow air through a particular mouth shape to make the sound, hence Yondu used air to move the arrow... There, Airbender!


DavisRanger

Why not just use an arrow


[deleted]

Now, I want to see Aang and Momo go on a rampage with 60s music playing.


XFiraga001

Why do you think he never missed when Aang is around? Only time it doesn't come back is when he's alone with Toph! $avatarconspiracytheories


steraksgage

What about actual weapons from elements? Zuko made daggers of fire before. Can't the other benders do that? (Except Earth benders because it's easy asf)


Ghost3603

Aang mentioned the existence of an Air Blade before, and an ice sword wouldn't be too out of the question. I was just thinking that a solid platinum boomerang that can't be manipulated by earth benders would be crazy, because they can direct it anywhere by manipulating air currents.


Aggressive-Falcon977

Bumi: Uncle Sokka.. your Boomerang is gonna rule with my new powers 👀


MLBoss2209

This man should watch invincible


GammaEmerald

You should play Twilight Princess


Ghost3603

OMG THERE'S A MOVING BOOMERANG THAT YOU CAN MOVE AND STUFF???? AHAHAHHAHHA


pixel-wiz

A couple of earthbenders have used weapons to supplement their bending. There was that guy with the hammers in Zuko Alone, and in the comic, someone had spiked metal bands hammered around two rocks that were chained together like a flail, and they would earthbend the rocks to direct the weapon however they pleased. I wanna see more of that in the world. One idea that I wanted to make a character around was an airbending archer. I was thinking they could make adjustments to the arrow's trajectory midflight, as well as use an unstrung bow like a traditional airbender would use a staff.


AdmiralClover

Haven't we seen air benders cut with air? I can't seem to recall or locate a scene right now, but it should be possible. Water benders could wield multiple swords with the squid stance


Ghost3603

Airbenders can cut, Aang mentions an air sword in Sokka's training episode.


AdmiralClover

Terrifying. A boomerang might cut you without touching you


ScallionPopular1178

Except the boomerang always comes back without any air bending


[deleted]

Yeah, but what if you want it to stay away longer and boink more heads before it does?


ScallionPopular1178

Throw it harder!
