Welp. Now I gotta watch the whole series. Again.
Welp. Now I gotta watch the whole series. Again.
Where do you watch them? They took Korra off of amazon prime which makes me sad. Do most people just have the dvds? I wish Netflix or someone would pick them up.
TLA is on Netflix (CA at least) now! Korra is harder to find, I agree
What? First we did, then didn't, now it's back again?
legendofkorra.tv has both ATLA and TLOK
It tried downloading me an .exe , no thanks.
CartoonsOn.com
Hdeuropix.com
If you use it on an iPhone with safari it works really well, but yeah I wouldnât let that website touch an actual computer with a 10 foot pole
Pretty sure kissanime.ru has it
yup, both has ATLA and TLOK!
watchcartoononline.com
it is much more reliable and less virus-ey than the kiss sites
This. Just finished ATLA today on watchcartoon and it's so much better thank kisscartoon in terms of adds and popups.
I still definitely reccomend enabling adblock or ublock origin, but it's much better thank kiss.
The entire blu ray collection is on amazon. I got it for $30 a few weeks ago. It looks amazing too.
Netflix has atla in Canada now
Iâm jealous, Iâm in the US. So now Iâm going to find out if itâs possible for me to get Canadian Netflix!
US never gets anything good. (R34, S15, Avatar, and the FRIGGIN POP UP HEADLIGHTS)
Canadian Netflix has a ton less stuff though.
They used to be on Nickelodeon website
They still are on Nick. You just have to connect your cable account. Only problem is you can't if you don't have one.
You can watch it on nick.com if you have a log in from your cable provider. Also kissanime or kisscartoon (canât remember which and at work rn) has both shows with all episodes.
Yeah I saw they did have it but I dropped cable a long time ago.
Check out kisscartoon.com, might forward you to something like kimcartoon.me, but it has all seasons of ATLA and LOK. Careful of pop ups and sketchy ads.

Torrents are becoming thing of the past. It has the same mentality of physical harddisks, USBs, CDs etc. Now the trend is to keep digital in the online World, like Cloud systems, Streaming etc
Germany is blessed with ATLA as well.
There was a whole fan made HD remaster done like a year or two ago.
They posted about it in this sub, and there's another subreddit with links to the download.
I have the Blu-Ray set. It ainât cheap, but itâs 100% worth it.
They probably took Korra out where you live, I just watched it today with my mum and sister. Itâs still here in the UK
Iâm in the US, I went to watch it one day and it was no longer under prime. Plus they only had the first 2 or 3 seasons on prime.
Nickelodeonâs website also has both full series!
And that's a issue why?
This is my life. Hey look, a Last Airbender thing! Welp, time to watch the whole show again. XD
Don't ya hate it when that happens?
How many times have you seen the series?
It's crazy how you can see what element it's gonna be, before they actually start bending.
Also, I'm kinda angry it isn't in order
Hahaha sorry I arranged in the order of me doing each of these :P
You did an amazing job tho!
Aww thank u Iâm glad u like it!! :D
Add Aang's air scooter/ball for the final bit. Amazing animation!
I really want to see the frame by frame of these
Is it possible to get a widescreen 1080p or higher version of this animation? This would be dope as a live wallpaper or screensaver.
Was this rotoscoped or freehand? Either way good job!
I don't want to be nation-ist, but I entirely expected the square-headed water bender to be an earth bender...
True, but I was mainly taking about the movements
Thatâs because each type of element bending is based on a specific type of martial art. So if you could recognize the style you can expect what kind of bending it will be.
[deleted]
Actually regretted that i listened to it on the 2nd try. Is gud
I wish water bending showed blood bending and earth bending showed metal bending
I wanted to but I didnât want to add another person for bloodbending and there wasnât any interested moves for metalbending besides throwing shards of metal and whipping
Lava bending would've been cool though..
Yea i also wanted to do lava bending but if I did that and didnât do metalbending, which is more popular, itâll feel weird idk haha
Maybe you could have dropped a slab of metal from the sky and had them roll through it to make armor, and then had them bring up their hands to cause multiple eruptions from the ground which eventually covered the screen in lava
Still a cool animation tho
Also you forgot the absolute strongest element, Sand
Well I guess you'll just have to do another one with the advanced bending forms
Agree fully. Perfect choices.
U/RedJarK you can let him make armor
You could have done something similar to when Toph first invented metal bending. Like grabbing the metal with their hands and warping it.
I'm glad it didn't. People seem to think water bending is only great because of BB.
People hype water bending a lot to be honest. And people love to seem to give water benders feats we've never seen them do just because when talking about the strongest elements. They also seem to forget that only yakone and his sons could blood bend without the moon because of their blood line. Yet people like to act as if all water benders can do it with training
Indeed. I love waterbending for all the reasons not BB related. It's pretty and elegant and can heal lol.
Yea I like water bending(fire is my favorite though) but I'msick of hearing stuff like "a skilled water bender can kill a whole army just by disrupting your blood flow and making the water in you explode."
Has anyone figured out what the other uses of air bending would be?
I was expecting that! Especially after I saw lightning bending/generation
I wish these animations would be turned into a game
I wish the animations could be real life
This is the better wish, first dude wasting his wish
These animations made me realize how AWESOME an open world Last Airbender video game would be!
Similar to Witcher 3
Would be awesome but hard.
To pull off mechanics to the game thay would work, look cool as fuck and still keep the sporot in the game would be indeed very hard to pull off, not to talk about the world building and atmosphere
I wish there was an Avatar game like BOTW. The game already shares the vast and varied environments, as well as the elemental effects and a good physics engine. It always reminds of Avatar when I play it.
Or an MMO where each nation was a faction you could join.
Randomly, one person would "awaken" into an Avatar and be able to use all 4 elements after undergoing a long and difficult quest chain. Once that character died, they would revert back to their original element and the mantle would rest for an undetermined amount of time before another player "awakens"
I need this in my life right NOW.
I bet everyone will witch hunt that avatar.
[deleted]
FighterZ?
I dunno if it could be that big, but we do have a game where you can play as your Dragon Ball OC and a Naruto one is on its way.
That would be so awesome!
In TW3, some signs are very similar to Avatar's bending:
Igni = Fire bending
Aard = Air bending
Axii = Blood Bending
Fantastic job on the animation man. You could really tell the different kinds of fighting styles in each element.
Saved. Absolutely phenomenal. Especially the way the screen shakes. Made it a noisy gif
Oh it has sound hahahahaha
OH SHIT IM GOING BACK IN
This is awesome. You can clearly see how distinct movements for each element are.
The next Avatar after Korra : Avatar Sketch
"Avatar Sketch, save us from the evil benders attacking our village!"
"You kids wanna buy some weed?"
Water is my favourite, by far
It's always gonna be earth for me. I love those heavy movements.
I know!, prolly the most badass movements
I like fire the best. But air is a close second
This is really cool. I could distinctly see each martial art in action, and also certain moves from the show. Well done!
Wow this is impressive, thanks for sharing!
Love it, just awesome love the fluid movements the effects and style even the sounds are great! Thanks for the post
Holy shit, the sound effects really make it nice but.. The elements really look and feel like they have weight. The way the character stretches out and liek pauses in between "attacks" great stuff. Is this your "art" / animation? do you have a link to more of your work ?
This is a very rare occasion of me animating, I just do it for fun! But if u wanna see my artworks u can find me on Instagram @mrjaredkoh
That's amazing, how does one even go about getting fitting sound effects like that?
Following this! I really want to know as well! The sound effects fit so nicely :))
Earth bending has the best martial art cinematography
I think fire bending does
Great work! Is this Krita or some other program?
I used Adobe Animate
Yeah what did you use?
Holy shit, this is amazing, first time I've ever seen something done this way. Great job man!
This reminds me of how badly I want a new show...
Remind me of 2007 youtube videos of stickmen bending the elements... but better.
That's Iroh's lightning, isn't it?
Any chance you'll do some Azula animation with blue fire and her lightning?
Not even part of the fandom, but this is beautiful.
We really need CD Projekt Red to have their next game be an open world Avatar game.
I got goosebumps when i saw the lightning.
Please make more!!!
Beautiful animation! Great work!
Thatâs badass.
This is amazing, what program did you make it on?
Now just get together with a game developer and make a AtLAB game! This would be a fun 2D platformer.
This would make an amazing screensaver
So whatâs the story behind the lightning. Why do firebenders have that ability?
There is energy all around us. The energy is both Yin and Yang, positive energy and negative energy. Only a select few Firebenders can separate these energies. This creates an imbalance. The energy wants to restore balance, and in the moment the positive and negative energy come crashing back together, you provide release and guidance, creating lightning.
-Iroh
They just seem to have control over anything with thermal energy. In the Roku back story episode we see sozin bend heat itself.
Iâm not one for starting petitions, but can we get one started for someone to make a new avatar show!
Somebody really needs to make an Avatar fighting game. It would be the greatest
There used to be an mmo made by nick but they shut it down in like 2012
The upvote button should be aangâs arrow thingy on his head, if you can do that
Did you use AI and AE for this? just asking for design purposes
You could make a really cool flash stick figure fighting game with this.
this is higher quality then anything from the movie.
The elements are done SO well. When it started I was like meh looks like shitty figure drawing and then the fire came up and oooooooo
This is beautiful. I love how you can see where inspiration was taken from certain scenes, but isn't just a reproduction.
I really miss this show :â(
I could watch this on repeat for hours.
Brilliant work! Well done! I've watched it over and over again
Awesome work!This is what I love about the series, the badass animation and the way each element has different moves to go with it. I wish there was a good video game...
I would play this fighting game.
This is absolutely remarkable! Great work!
Wow, you did a fantastic job. These blow me away
I love this!
Very little bitpick tho; Should have kept the elements in order.
Again though, amazing job! I love it!
Would lightning bending and plasma bending be the same thing?
Am I the only one who found it amusing that the air bender disappeared?
Upvoted and post saved so I can come back and watch it again. Time to start ATLA again lol
This is super awesome! Looks like it could be sped up just a tiny bit.
I really want to animate stuff like this. Couple questions:
1) Where are you getting your reference animations from? Clips from the show?
2) What software do you use?
3) What hardware do you use? I assume youâre using a tablet + pen of some kind?
4) Could you recommend a good tutorial/series to learn the basics? And I mean very basic like animating a ball
Yeah i got some frm clips of the show and sometimes i act out my own to transition from one move to the next
Adobe animate
yes i am using a wacom tablet, no screen
U can check out this video https://youtu.be/uDqjIdI4bF4
Hope i helped! :)
Thanks!
While I can't help you with 1, 2 and 3 as I'm not the animator in question I can help you find a good starting point in learning animation. Before you can put pen to any form of paper be it digital of Physical watch these videos:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bOh8btec4CXd2ya1NmSKpi92U_l6ZJd
They cover the basics on the most crucial part of all animation, the 12 principles. While it doesn't tell you the specifics any software of hardware it'll give you a great base to learn any program.
Thanks!
[deleted]
Sure!
So how can I download this video?
This deserves to be the top fucking post of this sub. Amazing work u/RedJarK ! Love the attention to detail and sound effects. One of the rare posts that deserves to blow up. Looking out for some more great animations from you mate!
Aww thanks do muchh!! đđ
r/noisygifs
Ummm it has sound hahaha
r/noiselessvideos then?
Holy shit
Cool but that was 5 elements
lightnng is part of fire bending
? no it wasnât
There was definitely fire, lightening, water, Earth and air
Lightning is part of fire bending. Did you not watch the show?
Oh no did they really?! I always watched on Prime.
i wish they all ended with a direct attack
Noice! What no lava bending?
Cause fire is better
God the sounds for each element were great
Amazing
I find this thoroughly enjoyable.
I watched this without sound and I could still hear the earthbending
I wanna say the air bending is more akin to fire bending
All the rocks at the earthbenders pull out of the ground doesn't that create holes and caverns under the ground which will cause the ground to collapse?
Nice.
What program did you use here? This is amazing work
This is truly beautiful. If only they were in order though. Love it.
You give electricity to fire, and ice to water, but no magma for earth, and no umm .. soul for air? What did Ang have? Was it flight? Whatever, someone somewhere knows what I mean.
LOVE THIS!!!
Can you please make another season to the show?
That is just amazingly well done and very accurate!
I think this is my favorite animation of all time
I fn love this!!!
What program did u use to animate this? Itâs awesome
Man this is so satisfying to watch.
Ooooooooh, that earthbending sounds so strong and visceral. Combined with the slight camera shake and I felt that power!
I'm just wondering why bending is always shown as fighting. Why can't they make pretty things with bending, like ice sculptures or buildings, or fireworks or music with the wind or something...
But I absolutely love your animation!
Incredible! In what program did you make this, if I may ask?
Air bending for days. Man it looks amazing.
Do you mind of I try this in 3D? Watch out Iâm a beginner at animating xD
Edit: Amazing animation!
Bravo!!!!
impressive!!!
Why is there 5? Fire, lightning, water, earth, and wind.
Lighting is a branch of fire, just like metal is to earth and blood to water. Have you watched avatar?
This is truly amazing. I've watched it like 30 times in a row now.
That's fucking amazing
This could be a new opening sequence for a third series! Maybe one thatâs like modern or something? Itâs beautifully done!!
I loved this so much
This is so awesome!!! Thank you for making it.
My 5yo daughter watched this and was VERY impressed. So was I.
/u/heartbraek you can tell apart the different styles
That was dope. I love the fluidity
This is absolutely incredible! Please make more of these!!!
This is amazing!! Great job
This is so cool! I forgot how much I loved when they started lightening bending. Amazing
Could watch this all day. Wish it was my screen saver.
[deleted]
Watch the show. Lightning is called cold blooded fire in the tv show. And both of plasma so lightning is treated as a sub branch of fire that skilled fire benders can do
Can water benders who can blood bend freeze the blood inside a person instantly killing them?
no because they cant do that
This is Awesome! But it's in the wrong order.
Really nice job with the sound design!
Which element was the most difficult/challenging to animate?
air looks so good
This is so cool OP
And they say art is dead.
Not in right order 0/10
In all seriousness, this is damn good.
Water will be forever be my fav element
Whatâs this for? Because this would be amazing for a game
Nigga thats 5
Its neat that even if the elements themselves weren't animated, you'd still know what the characters were bending.
You forgot Heart, so no Captain Planet for you.
Amazing job! As an animation enthusiast and nerd I gotta admit you did great! Do you study/work in animation ? Iâm curious
That was amazing! Can you do a bit for earth where they drop to a horse stance and split the bottom of the screen like a fissure revealing the background? Earthquake!
Why is the water bender the only square head!?
But what about blood bending?
Is there a way to save this video because itâs so awesome?
Amazong
I just realized that you could earth bend tiny pieces of rock and shoot them fast as fuck basically creating recreating guns
Yes they can and weve even seen Aang to so in the avatar state. The problem is it takes a whole lot of skill to do so.
Yo. This is dope.
Why does his head turn from circle to square at the beginning?
Iâve always loved the way earth bending sounded. So satisfying
Thatsapenis.gif
Literally when the air bender vanished I heard the theme song in my head..
That was more than 4
No there wasnt. Lightning bending is part of fire bending
O
Awesome! But I wishing to see metal bending along with the earth bending since in the beginning you were doing fire/lightning, water/ice. But this was amazing to see nonetheless.
Please do some dueling
This is honestly better animation than the show. A remake with original audio would be killer
You are an incredible human being or other!
Theres 5 elements..
lightning is part of fire
bra thats 5
Lightning is part of firebending
OMFG. I AM ABSOLUTELY STUNNED. CONGRATS. đđą
This is awesome, but it bothers me that it's not in WEFA order
Duuude even the sound is great
I miss it already ;-:
This looks AMAZING. The scattering of the fire and electricity and the anatomy really brings this to a new level!
Am I the only one who noticed that he said 4 elements and there were clearly 5
God, how Iâve missed bending.
I could literally watch this all day.
This just rekindled my lifelong yearning to bend any element. I'm hurting.
Mokujin has become a bender!
Absolutely incredible. A pleasure to watch.
This is amazingly done, especially the water!
This is so cool!!! I can watch it all day!!!
Hey there, I mod /r/Animation and you really should crosspost it over there!
I believe posted there first! Hahaha
This is awesome! I love how you show how distinct each bending style is from one another :)
I wish games actually had these animations
Amazing!
Amazing!!
I really like the sense of power behind the Earthbender. That was really cool to see!
wow!! this us awesome!!
Great work! Where did you get the SFX from?
That looks amazing. I wish we had a great game that factored all those in.
I feel attacked.
Really nice work, but I was disappointed to not see lava bending or metal bending after you showed light infantry and ice bending.
Impressive
5
Amazing
I want this to be a video game omg
I love this so much. I've watched Avatar when I was a child, and I noticed how it changed the way I draw through growing up. I love these animations!
Shit, this is amazing. The choreography is great too. You gotta animate a fight scene or something.
This is so epic, Alexa play Avatarcito
I will ensure you are first in line for deconstruction when the robot liberation comes.
^^ stop messaging me | programmer | source | banlist
You speak my language, Alexa.
Holy shit this is awesome! Can't imagine the time and energy it took!
Fantastic! Perfect job to the creator!

Downloadable link without sound
Try using your mobile browser if your app has problems opening my links.
Unfortunately the wrong order otherwise cool
You missed the metal bending for "earth bending"
Also, you missed Aang's air bending trick that looks like a small halo on your hands
Fire + Lightening Water + Ice Earth + METAL
Overall this shit was awesome to see though
[deleted]
Itâs not supposed to be the intro...
Nice repost!
Can someone put these in order and add some Katara in it?
That was better than the last air bender movie.
Six elements*
Also, no metalbending or lavabending? Shame!
[deleted]
But can't they like control Flames from the flame thrower
says who?
Man, seeing this after your new one and it was already so good 5 years ago. Really hoping they straight up hire you for any potential Avatar sequels haha
This is absolutely incredible!
The lightning was absolutely stunning.
Edit: It also has sound.Got Goosebumps..
I love the Earthbending. The way itâs so âhardâ and âstiffâ like Earth. I forget the type of martial arts itâs resembled after, but every other one seems so much more smooth and this is like a brute force martial arts. So appealing.
I believe it's mostly Hung Ga.
Except for Toph, who uses Southern Praying Mantis style :)
So she can keep constant contact with the ground!
Judo?
No judo will resemble water bending more since you are supposed to use your enemies weight and movement against them, it feels much more fluid than the earth bending judo and water bending both work on redirecting attacks
Does air bending not have a cannon advanced form? Anyone got any ideas?
Flying sort of is, like Zaheer from LoK.
Also didnât Jinora master air to the point that she could astral project? Itâs been awhile since I watched LoK so my memory is foggy.
Yup! Youâre definitely right.
That's what she says, but I still can't tell what the hell it has to do with airbending, seems like it's just purely spirit stuff.
Airbenders are supposed to be the most spiritual of all the nations is the logic I guess. I do think it should be something any bender thatâs spiritual enough should be able to do. The way Toph (in LoK) was able to see the world through roots and fungus while living is the swamp could be the earth ending equivalent.
Flying as seen with Zaheer and spiritual projection as seen with Jinora. You may also consider hypersensitivity as one.
Hypersensitivity in the sense that elite benders can see through the air in a similar regard that Toph sees with her feet? Does it go beyond sight? I haven't seen much of LoK at all but I just love the universe
Some of the airbenders talk about how shaving their heads allows them to feel more of the air and thus react faster and with more precision to shit iirc, so hypersensitivity to anything that disturbs the air
[deleted]
Baldy senses
Saitama's punch is basically an advanced air move
I think the spirt projection could be used by anyone with a very strong spiritual connection (like Jinora) it just happens that that is usually airbenders
I believe that it was in the Extras of the Avatar DVD that the creators said that all the Air Nomads are airbenders because of their strong connection to the spirits and such; I donât know if any of the other types of benders even can have a spirituality that strong though
I think if you're able to project yourself into the spirit world, it wouldn't take you long to also project yourself throughout the physical world.
We know Iroh was able to project himself into the spirit world. I imagine that if he really wanted to or if he had trained in his spirit projection a bit more he could have also done the astral projection that Jinora does.
So my vote goes toward spirit projection being something all benders (perhaps all people even nonbenders) can do just as long as they're spiritual enough.
Flight is the advanced form of airbending. I also think soundbending makes sense. We've seen Aang use airbending to shout really loud when he was looking for Appa. Makes sense that he could refine that technique and create soundbending as the advanced form of airbending.
If that was the case we should have seen Zaheer spirit projecting at some point. He was very spiritual but hasn't mastered airbending.
He was also very new to it. Still, he managed to project himself into the spirit world with relative ease. I can't imagine it would have taken him too long to figure out astral projection. He might have perfected it while he was in prison between seasons 3 and 4. But we didn't see him use it since Korra didn't need him to project into the physical world, she needed him to project into the spirit world with her.
Isnât the spirit portal located in the water tribe? And didnât the first season of ATLA have Aang take on that giant fish spirit form? Along with Yue turning into the literal moon spirit? Iâd say waterbenders are pretty spiritually tethered as well.
I mean, we know for a fact that the Southern Water Tribe isnât as connected to the spirits as it used to be, and even then I donât remember that many Northern Waterbenders besides like Unalaq and his children that had such a strong connection to the Spirit World.
And Yue only turned into the moon spirit because she was blessed by it as an infant, right? I donât think that counts because itâs not really her own spirituality, really, and more that sheâs, like, infused with spirit energy or whatever lol. Iâm not sure I remember the giant fish spirit though haha
Yeah I agree, I can't tell how it could possibly be directly tied to airbending.
Seems to me like air nomads are very spiritual, and that Jinora used air nomad meditation techniques to help her do this, but that air bending has nothing to do with it.
Flight is considered the official advanced form but I think soundbending should also count. Aang once used airbending to shout really loud when he was looking for Appa.
I think it would have been neat if they had explored that concept a bit further. The way I see it, an advanced soundbender would be capable of projecting their voice, creating any type of sound they want, impersonating someone else's voice, and even silencing the area around themselves by dampening all the sound waves.
I always thought sound and light wouldâve been cool concepts to try out. And maybe with light you could get lasers! I could see the ATLA world in the distant cyberpunk future having laser benders
Sound isn't air though and it can travel through water and earth as well.
Well if we're gonna get nitpicky about it, metal isn't actually bendable by earthbenders. They bend the unrefined pieces of earth inside of the metals to bend the metal as a whole. But metals that are too pure aren't bendable.
It can be the same thing with soundbending. It isn't the sound itself they're bending, it's the air molecules that carry the sound waves. This means that a soundbender would not be able to simply create a new sound but they would be able to use their airbending to modify an existing sound (such as their voice) into any sound they want such as another person's voice or a particular sound effect.
So they don't bend the sound directly, they just bend the air around the sound to manipulate the sound. The end result is still the same so for simplicity's sake we can just say they're soundbending.
I'm aware of that but there is a difference between the two. Earth is inside of the metal while sound is inside of the air. They sound similar but they aren't. An air bender shouldnt be able to bend sound any better than a water bender or earth bender all air bending could do is make the sound spread out and go further it wouldnt make it any louder or anything to be used in combat
And yet Aang bent sound in ATLA so there's already a precedent in the series. I was just building off of that precedent.
And besides, electricity isn't really fire but firebenders can bend it.
NO he didn't he did exactly what I said and made the air travel further. It's not the same as sound bending he didn't make it any louder. Also fire benders can just bend things that involve thermal energy in general and can generate their own element they are excluded from this. Lightning is just them making energy
Amplitude (volume) is literally a function of radius from the source. If it went further, he made it louder.
The logic on soundbending is that an air bender as any greater appluditde of bending sound than an earth bender or water bender regardless of the fact that sounds travels faster in both of those. I am just so sick and tired of hearing this sound bending bullshit all the time
Well zaheer also fucking suffocated the earth queen and that's something
Vacuum Bending. The ability to manipulate the lack of air
Also knows as âmoving the air awayâ
If you mean a "blank-bending" style, then no. Maybe soundbending could be one?
Flying
Their advanced techniques are quite different from the others, where Fire is ULTIMATE POWAAHHH lightning blasts, the air nomads lived without materialistic possessions and spent more time connecting themselves with nature. Their advanced forms exist within spirituality. Even in TLA, you saw how the fire nation kids went to schools and academies, the earth benders lived as peasants and shop keeps, and the water benders lived as harmonious tribes. The air benders lived as monk-nomads, with the ultimate connection to the spirit dimension. Even the gurus we know about either came from the air nation or deeply based their ideals and practices on the former air nation.
I always struggled finding it but I think the one that makes the most sense would be light bending. Being able to bend the energy in the air. Or create pure white light. Thatâd be dope.
No, light bending makes more sense as a subset of energy bending. Korra used energy bending in the finale to bend that giant spirit laser. I imagine if she worked on it some more she could create her own spirit lasers with energy bending, basically like energy blasts from DBZ. Then light bending would be a subset of that, creating and manipulating light without inputting any destructive force into it.
The best part of the lightning is that it is so clearly influenced by the Waterbending style. When I watched it, I thought it was shifting to the waterbending forms due to the clear differences in the style of movement!
The lightning kinda made me wish the other secondary elements had been included as well. Like blood for water and metal for earth. Not entirely sure what the secondary for air would be (haven't rewatched Korra for a while so idk if a secondary air was included in that series). Still an awesome animation overall but the secondary elements would have been incredible.
