According to you. At least five other people seem to be fine with it.

I really prefer Toph. The other guy, it look like chitin or something (kinda look a bit like Cell's body).

Call me crazy, but I doubt she'd be able to move in that thing.

Does she even fight like that? I'd imagine she'd just stand there with all of that stone on her.

[up][up] She does. Though in that particular scene, she uses the armor so Aang can wail on her for training IIRC.

Does Toph's metal armor scene work?

Kind of a spoiler.

I prefer the first Toph.

[up][up] Plus, doesn't metal armor...kind of defeat the purpose of the trope?

I'm sort of in-between the Toph and Risho collages. Very similar things happening. It'd be nice if we could get a good shot of armor made out of fire or ice or something obviously not-normal, though.

Fire has it's own subtrope though, Wreathed in Flames (which was actually written before Elemental Armor)

Hm.

Maybe Gaara's Sand Armor? This one is a bit tricky, since it generally is his skin tone and body shape, so it'd need to be a shot where he's applying it, or when it's breaking off.

...I'd like to wait a little longer. I'm still holding out for an ice armor or lighting armor or something. Something flashy and obviously elemental.

I doubt we'll see lightning armor anytime soon, seeing how lightning isn't really a solid force to apply to the body.

Ice armor on the other hand, while incredibly impractical, could be possible.

Well, I know one example of lighting armor.

However, the visuals are just a lighting aura and a shiny yellow coating on the practitioner. Not obviously armor.

Hrrm. not looking for lightning or ice myself. Ice tends to just look like fancy crystals. Lightning would just look like some sort of forcefield.

On the sand armor above? How is that even armor? It's like... one millimeter thick... seriously. And sand aint exactly the most resilient material to begin with... Not questioning the image, just that the mechanics are... puzzling.

Gaara hardens sand into something harder than steel. Don't ask me how. He once stopped flying needles that purportedly could punch through lead by conjuring a cocoon of the stuff around him.

Apparently someone started on it before I could get to it, so you guys can fill in any other options you want.
