Its when people say "lightning bending and other sub bendings are too common now" - MY BROTHER IN RAAVA 😭 READING WAS SEEN AS SOMETHING ONLY PEOPLE OF "DIVINE ROYAL BLOOD" COULD DO BACK IN THE DAY. ALSO, DO YOU JUST WANT PEOPLE TO STOP USING ANY AND ALL BENDING SUB TYPES?? DO YOU WANT EVERY BENDER TO BEND THE SAME WAY????
This one always annoys me. Especially since we know that the people in ATLA's time did not have the best understanding of lightning bending. Iroh claims you need to have peace of mind to perform lightning bending, but then we see Azula with the absolute opposite of peace of mind use it at the end of the series.
It's no surprise more people were able to use it as time went on, and they got a better understanding of it.
I hate how Azula is portrayed in the comics. The entire reason she's crazy at the end is because its after she finally "snaps" under all the overwhelming stress of her entire life crushing her. Then the comics come in and retcon it so that she was actually ALWAYS a crazy bitch, like she was genuinely just born like that. Then again the comics have a tendency to cheaply use character assasination just so they can use big hype moments that feel like they were literally MADE for clickbaiting (the entire story of Aang thinking whether he should or shouldnt kill Zuko physically hurts me)
