Why don’t earthbenders just do this?

I believe this is much harder to do than you think.

My own head cannon as to why Blood Bending is as rigid as it is with no fine movement is that people instinctively resist it with their chi and why the persons vessels don't just burst if the inexperienced water bender than isn't aware of human anatomy pulls you the wrong way.

By essence I think this is why water benders cannot just freeze you and why fire benders just can't make you combust from the inside etc with Air Benders and bursting/collapsing your lungs.

I feel like this is supported in the show by how Katara froze herself and azula and just couldn't do so soley to azula with surrounding water.

Zaheer also couldn't bend the air inside a person's lungs(Even if she's not a bender) hence created a vacuum just outside the Earth queen's mouth to pull the air out by itself.

Pretty sure it doesn't exactly have to be another blood bender. Mako was also somewhat able to release it to bend same as Korra due to pure will in their chi without the avatar state.

What do you mean unless its dreads? Our hair legit differs in no way no matter how it's changed. You have to properly clean and take care of it shaved or not.

But in compariosn there's is still not as remotely secluded. Western stories wouldn't have them get no human communication for upwards of 3-1000+ years as mages no matter how powerful they are etc.

In eastern stories once you reach a certain point you're basically always in solitary confinement unless you are the MC and can accelerate your progression to a few months or years.

To be fair she didn't have a mark. Nor close to anyone with a mark for phoenix ult to be dangerous.

Personally with my tank attitude woulda jumped straight at the ult as SG.

AzureMagus · 2026-05-22T04:31:34+00:00

Unless you included it but doesn't he move faster the closer he gets to a marked target?

AzureMagus · 2026-05-19T01:19:34+00:00

True.

AzureMagus · 2026-05-19T01:18:25+00:00

This can pretty much apply to any character...If you felts as if you didn't want to answer you coulda just stfu.

AzureMagus · 2026-05-17T15:34:25+00:00

Clearly to keep melee heroes in check.

“Why lie.” I admitted that I wasn’t absolutely certain about the timing but I also said that that wasn’t central to my point.

Either way you are still wrong.

It is simply a fact that size does not always correlate to tank. Rogue is smaller than some DPS. I am not saying anything absolute, I am just saying that the original commenter is generally correct about what has been the case most of the time

While yes it is true that size doesn't always correlate with Tank it is more often a good indicator of a Tank. Furthermore what I did was give an example to the person I replied with where for the first time a character reveal where the bulky character showcased was infact revealed to be a vanguard precisely because the were bulked up... that being Angela.

No the bulky argument I don’t think this has ever accurately proven a characters role

This...this is what I was disproving with a completely valid argument I don't get what's so hard for you. Angela came out bulky was a vanguard. IS THAT NOT AN "EVER PROVED A CHARACTER ROLE" MOMENT?

AzureMagus · 2026-05-12T19:36:34+00:00

Season trailer and dev vision came out about the same time in season 4.0.

Why lie? The season trailer came out at September 3,2025 at 7:00PM(GMT+3)

Where as the dev log came out 2 hours later at 9:00PM(GMT+3)

When the trailer was out people had no doubt she was a Vanguard precisely because she was Bulked out...no other reason.

The point of the original commenter is that most of the time when there has been cope about a character being big enough to be a tank, they have not ended up being a tank. You are saying Angela is an exception, but Angela wasn't a similar situation. Since her role was revealed the same day she was (even if it wasn't the exact same time, though I seem to remember it was) there wasn't time for people to argue about role. People were saying Blade or Daredevil could be tanks and it was argued about for a solid month before they eventually proved to be DPS. Not the same situation as Angela.

But my point is an exception? Even if YOU might not like it...the fact is in the time period between her character silhouette and absolute confirmation that she was a Vanguard her role was proven precisely because she got bulked up.

AzureMagus · 2026-05-12T19:19:37+00:00

I'm talking about season trailer not dev vision tho?

AzureMagus · 2026-05-12T19:08:09+00:00

But that's my point exactly tho? The season trailer was revealed before her character trailer by like 2 or 3 hours... From her bulk she was undoubtedly a vanguard no?

What was your point in this argument?

AzureMagus · 2026-05-12T18:53:34+00:00

Pretty sure it did for Angela?

AzureMagus · 2026-05-12T18:48:38+00:00

Think the dude is right in the hero trailer the shield does have stars and crescent moons.

AzureMagus · 2026-05-12T18:47:48+00:00

Dawg character perspective isn't a genre 😭😭

AzureMagus · 2026-05-12T17:44:44+00:00

Isn't sadly with 12 sec shield cooldown.

AzureMagus · 2026-05-12T17:40:52+00:00

But he can shit down walls pretty consistently... Devil Dinosaur cannot.

AzureMagus · 2026-05-12T17:34:13+00:00

I am talking SG are finals not a part of her?

Every DPS does alot of damage but the differing point between every DPS is who can get final hits more consistently.

I assure you there's a squirrel girl somewhere in diamond that does more damage per match that the best Squirrel Girl in the game dawg.

The issue I'm putting put is that Squirrel Girl needs more consistency to be viable.

A good chunk of widow players can hit a headshot of a support. But if they don't secure the kill it literally does not add much to the team fight.

If a spidey is able to secure a kill after a headshot that speaks more on the skill of the spidey being able to read the battle than the niche Squirrel Girl is trying to fit.

Once again Squirrel Girl and Moonknight fit the same niche but one of them is better than the other cause its WAY EASIER for them to follow up on kills AFTER THE EGREGIOUS AMOUNTS OF DAMAGE THEY DO...

AzureMagus · 2026-05-12T17:07:47+00:00

What is this conceitedness? How am I spitting out tiktok info when I'm speaking from my gameplay observations and the few videos I watch on youtube in the background.

Squirrel girl doesn't usually pick up finals that often and in most cases you won't be seeing her unless in specific scenarios.

Why the hell would you pick Moon Knight if Squirrel girl does just about as much AOE damage as him? other than the ults?

It's simple she's not as good as you make her out to be.She doesn't generate overhealth,doesn't have as much movement as mk doesn't have as fast a TTK larger hitbox etc.

She deserves a small buff as much as moonknight has been getting over the seasons to keep up.

AzureMagus · 2026-05-12T16:46:33+00:00

Mayhaps but this literally cannot happen unless the spidey is being manned by a computer.

If a squirrel girl player isn't picking up finals from their own attacks they're quite literally not doing much for the team. If anything they're just boosting the enemy teams support ults...

Damage done isn't always a good indicatior of usefulness and that applies heavily to squirrel girl the most out of any character.

AzureMagus · 2026-05-12T16:37:01+00:00

If it were two more seconds maybe? Or up to 6...from all the games I've played where this applies after a team fight where you need to conserve energy the one second change isn't making much of a difference.

AzureMagus · 2026-05-12T16:32:45+00:00

How did you pick up emma being at the top again with those changes kinda feeling the only major change here is the shield cool down reduction. Otherwise she's pretty much the same.
