Follows Earthbending twins after a world-shattering disaster where one discovers she’s the new Avatar after Korra
If you're an earth bender and you lost a leg, wouldn't you be able to bend yourself a prosthetic made of earth? One that could actually articulate, unlike a peg-leg.
Probably easier to metal bend one. At least it won't fall apart when you stop concentrating.
Easier for other people to bend, too. Get a wooden one and keep it dry. Nobody bends wood.
If it gets damp enough, you could water bend it. Need a plastic leg
Perhaps, but not every earth bender is a metal bender
I don't know, Korra seemed to make it pretty common place.
Korra featured both the Republic City police, founded by the first ever metal bender and a place where metal benders are preferred, and later a city full of metal benders. It looks like there's a lot of metal benders because they showed us all the metal benders.
I mean if you have enough to populate an entire city state and enough to recruit an entire metropolitan police force from that seems like a pretty damn massive part of the population to me.
Doesn't mean the rest of the world is like that. Metalbending is literally the heart of Zaofu's culture, as it is with the RCPD (being founded/run by the first metalbender).
It's not uncommon I bet, but I wouldn't assume most earthbenders are metalbenders, either. We've seen extremely potent professional benders like Bolin that can't pick it up, and he's the top 99th percentile of earthbenders at least.
Same with lightning bending. I don't get why people assumed it was common in LoK just because a few factory workers and mentee of a gangster boss (Mako) could do it, when powerful firebenders like Korra, P'Li, Zuko and such apparently can't.
Yeah but given how Toph's metal bending school is portrayed in the comics, it seems to take an effort for earth benders to become metal benders. Which a teenager or adult would probably manage to do better than a child.
I think it'd require constant focus that a kid her age probably isn't capable of consistently. Maybe after a lot of training she won't need the prosthetic
Yeah.
I think that's gonna be a huge thing. This is 'Avatar' through the lens of a really young kid, and I suspect she won't be 'conspicuously mature' like the Gaang. But we'll have the perspective of older mentors, too, kinda like Tenzin.

Don't you need a strong physical connection to the ground in order to earth bend?
Might be difficult with only one leg.
Well if you bend the earth up to be in contact with the stump you'll have just as much contact with the ground as before. I don't think it's impossible to earth bend with just one leg.
