Nice. Thanks for sharing that. Bone Bending. Hadn't even thought about that with the calcium and what not. Pretty cool 🤩

Bethany and Ken

This is a bit late but to Bethany’s point about their being metal in the body and so Toph might be able to blood bend, there is actual an unconfirmed theory that Bumi might be a special similar type of bender. In the first scene we see Bumi fight Aang he basically restraightens his own spine through sheer will and then hits Aang with the line “I am the most powerful earth bender you’ll ever meet.” It stands to reason that Bumi believes this if he is a Bone Bender bending the calcium and other minerals in his own body to enhance and strengthen himself. This would also give him an explanation as to why he straightens out and why he’s as old as he is but still like one of the most spry and energetic fighters in the show next to Aang and Ty Lee despite being over a hundred years old. This would also work thematically to make Bumi and Toph equally but still uniquely powerful earth benders with Bumi being a Bone Bender and Toph being the inventor of Metal Bending

The meteor has no earth at all and she bends it so what exactly is in rocks steel or meteor that she can bend

Toph can only bend impure metal. So something like platinum is a no go but steel yes. She cant't metalbend people's blood either because bloodbending is a water-subcatagory. Earth has it's own sub-catagories.

idr if this series answers your question about the extent of metalbending but I know The Legend of Korra does so I won't spoil it. Also a comment about bloodbending being considered evil and affecting one's psyche is not true and not a canon answer thus far and is more of a theory if anything so do not be misled. It is considered immoral at most lorewise like how the dark arts are considered immoral in Harry Potter.

Great insight Bethany, there's always good and bad even in familiarity. I would often tell myself, "People that have the same interests as you may not have the same heart as you" to remind myself that just because me and this other person love Dragon Ball for example, they could also be a horrible person on the inside. It sucks, but that's just the nature of things And for sure bloodbending is awesome in a way, and I could imagine if this were a more mature series this episode could've been a lot more violent

I echo that this is still considered a cartoon made for kids. At least, that was the expectation when it was aired on Nickelodeon. So, there was only so much that Mike and Bryan could explicitly show. However, if you pay attention, mature and sometimes dark things can be alluded to. I'm not sure how far along you are with your viewings, so I will not go into detail to spoil anything, but Hama's experience hints at the actions of the Fire Nation when it came to imprisoning other nations, especially waterbenders. Once a certain episode is released, I may revisit this. Here is a good example that I can talk about: Jet's demise in Lake Laogai. We don't see Jet die, let alone get hit by the rock, but it is heavily hinted that he was dying based on the actions of the other characters and what was said. You should notice a tonal shift as you go through the rest of book 3. Book 3 feels more mature in tone than Book 1; therefore, you should see certain scenes that seem completely harmless to a child and may have undertones that only an adult would catch and understand. You may have said you would be reacting to the sequel Legend of Korra. Overall, the show is more mature in tone than The Last Airbender, although it takes some time to find its footing. Some things glossed over in this series get explored more in the Legend of Korra.

Blood bending is the only known Bending type that affects your Psyche. And not in a good Way. Its basically the only evil Bending type that actually makes you evil.

This episode was one of the first episodes to give me scared chills as a kid. Such a good episode.
