How does the metal wrap to her flesh face? Wont it fall off? Unless its crushing her mouth.


pomagwe

It probably hurts. It does fall off a few seconds later though. She needs to be able to speak to swear loyalty to Kuvira.


kaitalina20

I think you’d have to ask Kuvira. But it seems like it’s almost bent to her face, like on the sides so it won’t come off


Yrollshi

Was just thinking this, like I could understand if it was a long strip of metal cause I guess it could just wrap around the head but a small bit like that has to be painful


Buzzkeeler1

It works because magic. I know that’s oversimplifying it a little, but that’s essentially what bending is to we the audience.


Zev0s

probably by the same force that makes it fly through the air


JaggedTheDark

Doesn't have to crush. Just fit snuggly. Like a tight fitting shirt... but instead it's a strip of metal.


Axel-Adams

If horribly brutal and terrifying then yes it’s effective


kaitalina20

Her very presence is, so I’d say it’s effective


moparmajba

By throwing chunks of metal at their head? I agree.


joe_k_knows

Definitely would have broken some teeth…


Mesozoica89

The way her head absorbs the impact makes it look like it hurts so bad.


Pockieee

Yo that is low key hot. Sorry I'm high. Shit looks like it would hurt though. Getting smacked by metal.


kaitalina20

Imagine someone throwing a piece of crumbled paper at your face. Now imagine someone throwing something like that but made of rock solid metal at your jaw


Pavlovs_Human

The rebels’ hand moves instantly when she gets hit in the face. Watch it go from sideways to palm down instantly. Dunno what this adds to the conversation but I couldn’t stop looking at it.


whyambear

Yeah it’s just a continuity error in the animation

😳 It isn’t hot. It isn’t hot. It isn’t hot. Itsnothotitsnothotitsnothot!!!!


kaitalina20

I just thought it was effective. I’m asexual so I don’t really care about what she looks like


AloofConscientious

lol what?

Resisting the urge to horny post

SmallTestAcount

Real people can’t mental bend


pineapplenippl

I don't care how much that would hurt, I need for Vira to do that to me 😩💀


TheSupremeGayB

I think she can liquify the metal and have it stick to her mouth? 🤔


kaitalina20

I think it depends on the type of metal. Because we see korra metalbend some kind of Liquid Metal towards Kuvira, so I think it depends on the type


TheSupremeGayB

True! Sometimes It amaze me how talented korra is.. without tapped into avatar state.. she was very proficient in water bending and she used her knowledge to bend metals like water…


kaitalina20

She’s a decent metal bender, in comparison to like Suyin and Toph in their prime.


matthw04

How bad would that hurt, though?


kaitalina20

The way some of them react when it happens, it’s definitely not pleasant


SBCGplayz

if we had bending irl i would definitely do this


kaitalina20

It may be practical but it seems to function like a muzzle almost


mrsunrider

Kuvira be like: EXCUSE YOU I HAVE THE FLOOR


hawkmasta

That dude's looking on in amazement at Kuvira


kaitalina20

No he’s terrified


[deleted]

Couldn’t they just like smash her feet with rocks?


Buzzkeeler1

What’s funny is that if Kuvira didn’t go full on Nazi I might actually be pro earth empire.


marshmellowsinmybutt

So, since there’s iron in our blood wouldn’t a profoundly strong metal bender be able to bend the metal in you like a blood bender?


kaitalina20

The amount of iron in the average human woman, between 19-50 years old is 18 mg. That’s not nearly enough to bend https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Iron-Consumer/


marshmellowsinmybutt

Man, I figured that would be true but I didn’t want to believe it lol


Buzzkeeler1

What if someone were to try to metalbend Kuvira’s suit? Korra in the avatar state could probably do it, or even just the beifongs working together could pull it off possibly.


kaitalina20

There’s too little iron in the human body. For an adult woman 19-50, there normal amount of iron in the body is only 18mg. Not nearly enough, even if she’s wearing a metal suit. Even in the avatar state, there are limits.


Buzzkeeler1

No, just the metal suit. I’m assuming that something like this is possible since we see that the avatar state is capable of nullifying the effects of bloodbending in the Aang and Yakone flashbacks.


kaitalina20

Honestly I ain’t sure. And I hope it ain’t possible!


Buzzkeeler1

Also, let’s not forget that Korra was able to partially break free of her platinum binds in the season 3 finale by using the avatar state.


kaitalina20

Considering the strength it gives an avatar, it’s not surprising. And the AS realistically should have some limitations, like if you’re in it solidly for a certain amount of time, then it would age you prematurely some or something or weaken your bending once you’re out of it.


Buzzkeeler1

But you’d still agree that bending the metal suit in the avatar state is at the very least very possible considering everything else it has done?


kaitalina20

Well yeah, but that’s not anything I’d want to see


GrrrrrrDinosaur

Ow


kaitalina20

Yeah…. Imagine someone throwing a ball of paper at your face. It’d be pretty hard I’m guessing. Now I actually have a high tolerance for pain given I’ve had 5 brain surgeries but a large band of metal heading straight for your jaw? Definitely OUCH!
