    Aang is kind of mid as a bender,

    Aang was a prodigy as an Airbender, he became a master at the age of twelve and invented new techniques. He was mid at the other 3 because he hadn't had time to practice.

    But I do agree with your overall point. Animes are usually good on this trope because they love the idea of training super hard. That has it's own tropes of bootstrapping, but I love how in the DBZ verse you can just do martial arts hard enough and learn to fly.

      I don’t think Aang was the best airbender, Henry Rollins was a much better fighter, and tenzin has a lot of techs.

      Korra also wasn’t the best waterbender. High level, but not super human, just “Olympic athlete” tier.

      Anime - at least recent stuff from webnovels seems to be characters have a OP combo that seems weak.
