Denied Earth Flight

[xXxethanxXx]

earth flight would just be a part of metal clips. when you are using metal clips and you shift and left click you put the armour on yourself. you can then hit space twice to fly up to maybe a certain height or a certain time until the iron wears off like when it wears off a victim (it could possible just last the same time as how long the victim's armour stays on). you would also have more speed and jump boost because of bending the armour on yourself to propel or lift yourself up. other metalbenders could bend you around because you have the iron armour on. thank for reading my suggestion bye

[Edit] A lot of us have probably thought about this, but it would be unrealistic. The armor keeps you from bending, so if you put the armor on yourself it just wouldn't make sense that you can bend.

there was a scene in the legend of korra where Suyin put armour on and she had a higher jump height and became faster. (http://imgur.com/31300t2) so its not unrealistic when its actually canon

That was her using a Metal version of Catapult... so no, it's not canon.

Notice the piece of metal bending up at her feet, launching her.

either way i dont think it would have to be canon. it still relates to the show and makes sense. why is that when you have the iron armour on that you cant bend? if im an earth bender why couldnt i just bend the metal off? just sayin. i think it should be added but obviously with limitations set up by the developers. it doesnt have to be flying exactly but i think that it should give better mobility of jumping and speed.

This is the sam thing as Bloodbending mah-self so I can fly thread.
Answer this:
You are a pretty strong guy. You can lift up to two cars one on top of the other.
If you grab your arm, can you lift yourself?
Same logic works here.

I concur with @Fly

The amount of times my kid brother actually came to me with this same argument. Jeez, I thought he was the only one.

 

[Taiko the Waterbender]

I would like so much to bloodbend myself and fly away far away *o* '-'

1. This was never seen in the series
2. Same as the bloodbending argument
3. This is literally a paradox. It'd be easier to fly by grabbing your own shoelaces and pulling up as hard as you can, or as Taiko said, picking yourself up by your arm.

Even if it is logical or not, it gives all 4 elements an easy way to fly, earth isn't really meant for mobility, catapult isn't that accurate and earthsmash is only good for small distance

Who said they all need to fly? I mever saw Earthbenders flying more than a catapult in the show. The most flying that Waterbenders can do is a spout. Firebenders can use their jets of fire. Airbenders practically already can fly, but not completely (excluding Zaheer and Guru Laghima).

Each element has a weakness, mobility is earth's weakness.

I'll re-use this gif because it's relevant to this thread:

 

[HydroMan]

Even tho if it were possible to lift yourself ,the body movement would be hard to do for bending that one ability while in mid air

Not only is it far from the series canonization, but it's a little over-the-top to allow earthbenders to fly. Denied.
