Do you prefer the bending styles of ATLA or TLOK?
One of the biggest differences I observed between the two shows is how differently an individual practices their bending. I think in ATLA, it was much more centered around the martial arts and spiritual + physical connection to the element. You could observe the way waterbenders' movement were heavily Tai Chi inspired, earthbenders mirrored Hung Gar movements, Firebender Kung Fu, and Aang's airbending Ba Gua Zhang. In TLOK, bending i more focused on physical prowess, with well choreographed punches, kicks, and aggressive actions for all bending styles.
What are your thoughts? Which do you prefer?
