    I put it in slow motion for kicks. I like air bending. Low force but keeps distance

    Firebending looks the coolest, but isn't as useful as the other disciplins. It can't be used for transportation like the others, and doesn't seem much good at anything but attacking.

    Overall, Airbending seems the most interesting.

    Fire bending looks the best in terms of style.

    I like water the best. I dunno if it could be done, or even if it has (I've only seen up to The Blue Spirit (grrr Nicktoons)), but you could use all the different states of water in an attack. Like say send icicles shooting at them, only to have them sublime into steam, shrouding them in fog as a feint for the massive tsunami roaring up behind them? Now that would be cool.

    That would mean a lot of concentration, but it's a cool idea. As for the episodes... *coughYoutubecough*

    Most dangerous is hard to say, because I'm sure??all four bending styles have their own deadly move.?? I'm going to go with Earth, though, because it seems the most direct (fire is a close second, with the lightning and all, but since only really advanced firebenders can do that...).

    Best movement, IMO, would be water. The movements of Tai Chi are just very......fluid (that pun wasn't intentional, BTW >.>; ).

    Water just looks awesome I mean so I cant believe im saying this but graceful and smooth and at the same time they are kicking somebodys butt.

    Fire is second.

    AIRBENDING!

    1. with enough wind, air can blow wind out
    2. airbenders can dodge more easily, run faster, jump higher, leap farther, n' can walk on vertical surfaces

    ^^ airbending seems 2 have more creative attacks than the other elements ^^ n' also, on wikipedia it said something like: no element haz inherent advantages or disadvantages against another element. itz the use of the element bi the bender tht determines the winner ^^

    Well, ignoring the part about which looks cooler, then i can eliminate airbending as the strongest because it is the only bending art that lacks a finishing move, although i have to say that airbending is my favorite.?? Offensively, fire or earth would be the best, obviously, but they both have their limits.?? Firebending is the strongest as it is almost completely offensively based.

    The only problem with firebending is that it seems as though it is the only bending art in which there is little creativity to which you can use the bending art.?? For example, air bending has tons and tons of different uses, like the air scooter, the air glider, running faster, floating, speeding up all movements, etc.?? Earth bending can lead to different forms around the bender, like Toph used in the episode where she was teaching Aang earthbending.?? Finally, water bending can be used as a shield, like what Katara uses many time, or even wips, like Katara, again, uses, along with freezing, iceballs to throw, among other things.?? I guess what im saying is that each art has its own greatness to it.

    I think you'll love "The Waterbending Master". I've watched the waterbending duel so many times I think the rewind button on my DVD player is going to break.
    Firebending seems the most flashy (I mean, creating lightning!!), but waterbending is very much like dancing and if you decide to learn one of the forms of Kung Fu on Avatar (which I think most fans at least think about), it's the most accessible since the movements are slow and don't require much strength.

    I'd say waterbending "looks" best, with the fluid movements and such. Firebending is probably most dangerous though.
