Avatar The Last Airbender Fans Speculate Why Toph Didn't Bend the Wood Beneath Her Cell to Escape

"Avatar: The Last Airbender" world is full of adventures and puzzles that sometimes leave up wondering. When a user on r/TheLastAirbender asked the interesting question, "why couldn't Toph use her earthbending skills to escape a wooden cell?", the fandom was quick to theorize, with the post coming in at 7.0K votes and 680 comments.  

Toph's earthbending abilities are legendary, even inventing metalbending. It's weird to think a wooden cell could trap her. So, was it a plot hole, or was it a limit of her abilities?

This mystery is proof that "Avatar: The Last Airbender" still inspires us, even years after it ended. It makes us want to revisit the characters and their world and explore the limits of their abilities with fresh eyes. As you make your way through the new live-action series, you might want to revisit the OG to see if you can find any more theories for the fandom to dive into.
