This thread moves so fast, but I'm not sure if this has been posted already, it's pretty mind-blowing
Spoilers Ep3
Totally expecting the high ranking members of the Equalists to be named after chi-points now.
You musn't be afraid to widen the breadth of you view, and minimalize your clicking. Let the scroll consume you.

It was, with discussion to boot

If its the one i think it is, a long time ago the voice actor for that character claimed they were gonna return as a relative of sorts. Maybe it was actually the character itself at that time or it was eventally changed.

Theoretically you could bend blood to certain areas, making them engorged.
And also control the person's movements.
I disagree. The old lady and Katara are the only ones who knew it, and I highly doubt Katara taught it to anyone.
Yeah, Katara was pretty ashamed to use it (aside from when she was crazy with rage), I can't imagine she would want to pass along the knowledge herself. Hama could possibly have spread the news, but the only ones who would be close would be fire nation jailors.
it's something born of desperation, so it's possible but I think the gaang would rather it be forgotten.

Plenty of powerful benders out there that could probably figure it out.

I hope there is an awesome Old Masters moment in Korra, maybe where Tenzin, Lin, Old Lady Katara, and
wreck shit.

It's only useful during a full moon anyhow. I really hope they don't go back to it. Let's get some new plot points please.
I'd like to see Korra, of all people, invent some air bending variants.

I posted the picture, but I didn't post that commentary (and I didn't see it at the place where I found the picture) - I think the speculation about the chakra points and illusion and that somehow preventing bending in a deeper way that normal chi-blocking would on a more long-term and possibly permanent, in the sense that it wouldn't fix itself automatically (as in normal chi-blocking), basis.
I know there was talk about the Amon pressure point, but I didn't catch it about the other stuff.
In any case, it's all very interesting. Stuff like that makes me love the Avatar fanbase.

She just might. She's the first airbender that we'll see who wasn't indoctrinated with air nomad teaching since birth. Maybe she'll find some more offensive uses for it.
This is sort of a minor thing, but why did Korra (and everyone else really) so readily believe that Amon could permanently take away bending? They know about chi blocking first hand so I would have thought they would be a little hesitant to believe that it was permanent despite the flashy show with the firebender.

She's a raging hypocrite.

Because it would be incredibly easy to verify if it was permanent. Amon used a very well known target. Word would easily get out the second the leader of the Triple Threats could bend again.
I think everyone is confident that it is permanent, because Amon used such a high profile target.

I would laugh my butt off if they introduced bloodbending again only to show Amon and his crew have some magical counter to that too so the writers can sweep it under the proverbial rug and not have to mention it again.

It would be cool if bloodbending shut down all the regular Equalists, but then Korra tries to bloodbend Amon and it doesn't work. And then she'll be all like "whhhhaaaaat?" and Amon will take off his mask and reveal that he is a spirit/Koh.
"I HAVE NO BLOOD TO BEND! MAKE YOUR TIME, YOU CANNOT SURVIVE!"
There also is no need for a magical counter. Just hide like crazy during the full moon.

Bolinora exists. I have now broken your mind.
Well with the increase in technology, the state of scientific knowledge has also increased, so the fact that animals are mostly water will become common knowledge and all it will take is a curious waterbender to rediscover blood bending.

That's really the only solution.
As long as bending is an exclusive power, the Equalists will be right. Benders have power over normals, and benders have always been the rulers of every nation. It really is unfair.
Either all benders must lose their powers or all people must become benders for equality to be achieved. Since Amon taking away bending is the bad guy, the answer will be giving everyone bending.
I don't even think the idea of taking away all bending powers is a bad one. We've seen how benders actually do oppress non-benders. The world might be better off if nobody had this huge power over anyone else.
Earth King Kuei wasn't a bender as far as I can tell.
... What about competent non-benders in leadership positions?
I demand to know where you found that.
Please.
They're completely right.
He captured criminal gang members and took away the powers that let them extort money. He didn't kill them, it seemed like he was going to let them go after taking their powers.
Thank you, good sir.
So he's a vigilante at best.
Bolin was employed by the Triple Threat Triad at the time. He was about to do something criminal.
and so it begins again

On the one of the Avatar DVDs (hell if I can remember which) they show various examples of them basically acting out scenes for the animators, so I imagine it's basically the same thing here.
I'd have to see the original post to know, though.
Here's the original post:

And a follow-up:
http://bryankonietzko.tumblr.com/post/20981423365/ha-ha-ha-nice-yeah-i-wouldnt-know-how-to-put
So yeah, it was used as a reference for the animators.

Only if someone else takes up the argument. I get tired of repeating the same thing over and over. He should reread the entire argument if he is going to reply to it.
