* ElementalRockPaperScissors: Katara figures out that the reason Aang is having so much trouble mastering earthbending compared to the other elements is because it is completely antithetical to his airbender philosophy. It's only once Aang stands his ground to both the Sabertooth Mooselion and Toph that he finally has the attitude necessary to earthbend.
