Oh and also I do think that waterbenders are just cooler
I mean, besides Immortality in Earth bending, Water bending has 2 of the most OP bendings
Blood bending (I stop all blood in your body, almost instant death) and Spirit Balancing (Let me just remove your soul rq)
Besides those, Earth Bending has Immortality, Seismic Senses, and Metal Bending
Air has the (kinda mid) Flight and (pretty cool) Astral Projection
But Fire has Combustion Bending and Lightning Bending
Earth benders get mole-rats (pretty fire), Water benders look at the sky (eh), Air Benders get Air Bison (HECK YEAH), and Fire Benders get friggin dragons (SUPER DUPER COOL)
but in general, by that logic, Earth Bending just has too many upsides
Wait can I just be a spirit
CAN I BE THE DRAGON
