I'm only on ep one of the live action atla and all I have to say so far is that all the fighters need more martial arts training. Or any, really.
#atla#teddy talks#one of the things i love about the original is its dedication to different aspects of historical asian culture#like we know exactly which type of bending is based off of which type of martial arts. this is not a secret or reading into things or w.e.#legitimately they didnt need to make up silly moves#just teach the people the actual martial art and it would all flow from there#there aint no way katara knows jackshit about tai chi here i stg#the earthbender at the very beginning fucked with me the most#literally hung guar novices spend years just working on their stance before learning any forms#its literally used as an exercise to help you understand what feeling grounded actually means (pun not intended but appreciated)#none of these ''firebenders'' probably have ever heard of northern shaolin king fu let alone studied it#also kataras hands when she tries to break open aangs ice ball? ridiculous. no open hands in tai chi#and by open hands i mean her fingers are apart and clawed which is Wrong. open palm fingers together is correct
