Let’s rank the original masters from "carried the element" to "completely useless."
Badgermoles literally taught blind people how to see, Dragons gave Firebenders infinite aura, and Sky Bisons were just glorified Uber drivers for pacifists. 🥱
Aang vs. Ozai wasn’t even a fair fight. It was literally wielding a cosmic cheat code, trying to bake a 12-year-old kid who just wanted to go penguin sledding.
Korra honestly had it easy. If she faced a peak, comet-buffed Ozai, she gets cleared.
