With Netflix's live-action reboot of Avatar: The Last Airbender in development, fans are more excited than ever to revisit the world of bending and all of the creative ways characters use the manipulation of water, earth, fire, and air. Seeing the multitude of ways these characters use these elements has given fans some of the most exciting action and fight scenes seen in animation
As both Avatar: The Last Airbender and Reddit think would matchup to make for some of the best fights in the entire franchise.
Momo Vs. Pabu
The showdown fans have all been waiting for, Momo and Pabu have proved to be loyal companions to their respective Avatar teams and have shown time and time again that when push comes to shove, they aren't afraid to fight back. While most fans seem to prefer Momo out of love for the original Avatar series, RoofusTheDog makes a good argument that "Momo gets the upper hand simply because of flight."
Whether it's someone who prefers the Aang-led Team Avatar or a fan of the newer series, there's no denying that just simply seeing these two adorable characters on screen together would be something any fan would love to see.
Ty Lee Vs. Asami
Jokes about the attractiveness of these characters aside, these are arguably two of the best hand-to-hand combatants in the entire franchise. Sparking heavy interest and hot debate amongst Redditors, most commenters, such as SeperateBother8, "could see it going either way" as Asami's electric glove can make up the difference between her and Ty Lee's combat skills.
While the fight could be dependent on the location and conditions, the hot debate and many ways this fight could go make it one of the best crossover fights fans could see in the ATLA Universe.
Zuko Vs. Mako
If their character design wasn't already similar enough, Zuko and Mako are the two prominent firebenders in their respective shows. Redditor whiskeybreakfasts pointed out that "Mako's got more talent, but Zuko's got more knowledge/experience."
As both are also lighting experts this could feature a lot of techniques from modern bending clash with a more traditional version of firebending. With no clear victor from Redditors and plenty of hype and debate, a fight between the two fire-bending bad boys would be something fans would never forget.
Toph Vs. Lin & Suyin
Mother versus daughters: the most powerful earthbender of all time against the daughters who grew up in their mother's shadow would be the dramatic showdown fans would love to see from the Avatar franchise. Reddit CubedEcho seemed to think that this battle could actually swing in Lin and Suyin's favor if the environment is primary metal, saying that "[He'd] give it to Lin and Suyin 7/10."
Although the parameters and environment of this fight would play a big factor in who would end up becoming the victor, this showdown between the Beifongs would be one of the best fights fans had ever seen.
Azula Vs. Kuvira
Two fearsome and menacing tyrants, fans have been drawing connections between Azula and Kuvira since Kuvira made her first appearance in The Legend of Korra. One of the best metalbenders of all time against a firebender who is so powerful her fire is blue, this fight would feature some of the strongest bending seen in the ATLA Universe.
This fight has caused Redditors to come up with multiple different reasons as to why this face-off would be a tight battle, with Steelquil pointing out that they are "Both highly mobile and precise fighters." While most Redditors tend to give this fight to Azula, this would for sure be a fight that would leave any fan wanting more.
Sokka Vs. Bolin
Sokka has shown fans of the show time and time again to never underestimate the power of a non-bender. While Bolin is also a pretty tough opponent, most fans want to see this fight because of its potential to be one of the most hilarious matchups between the two shows.
Fans seem to make this more of a battle of likability, with Reddit most likable character in the Avatar franchise, a showdown between Sokka and Bolin would be a hilarious and interesting battle.
Katara Vs. Ming Hua
Without a doubt, Katara and Ming-Hua are two of the strongest waterbenders to ever exist. While one Reddit claimed that "Ming Hua would absolutely destroy [Katara]," many Redditors argued that a Katara in her prime is much stronger than fans of the show give her credit for.
With the almost limitless creative potential for waterbenders of this caliber, there's no question that a fight between these two waterbending powerhouses would be something any fan would love to see.
Combustion Man Vs. P'Li
Also known as Sparky Sparky Boom Man, Combustion Man introduced fans to combustion bending, a form of telepathic fire bending that is only ever seen again by P'Li. As there is seemingly no limit or defense against combustion bending, Combustion Man and P'Li have proved to be two of the most menacing ALTA foes that Team Avatar has gone up against.
Reddit ArcaneShado pointed out that this fight would not just be very interesting, but also extremely close as "P'Li seems more skilled, but combustion man's blast [are] far more powerful," making this fight one of the best crossover matchups possible between the respective Avatar shows.
Iroh Vs. Tenzen
Arguably the two strongest and wisest characters in all of the four nations, Iroh and Tenzen aren't only intelligent masters, but also extremely powerful benders. As Iroh is the brother of Fire Lord Ozai and Tenzen the son of Avatar Aang, there is definitely interesting history between the two.
Redditor EmperorL1ama stated that "Both are plausibly in the top 3 benders of their respective element," which would make a fight between two of the strongest non-Avatar characters one of the greatest bending battles ever seen.
Aang Vs. Korra
For sure the most hotly debated crossover fight in the entire franchise, a showdown between the two most recent Avatars has seen a vast amount of comments from Redditors picking sides for this showdown.
Although neither side can seem to come to a conclusive reason as to why either would win, including Reddit afraidofdust, who pointed out that "Korra would out-muscle him, but Aang could out-wit her." There's no doubt that no matter the victor, a fight between Avatar Aang and Avatar Korra would be any Avatar fan's dream come true.
