Well, what do you think? Will Aang be able to metalbend? After all, Toph can do it, and Aang's the Avatar, master of uncontrollable power, yada yada. I've been pondering for a while.
On the plus side:
(Jeong Jeong:) "I've never seen such raw power." Aang is a gifted, quick-learning pupil. He's the freaking AVATAR. Did you see the Avatars making huge waves and stuff!? Toph may be able to teach him, as her methods have proved effective *cough* kinda.
On the minus side:
Toph sees using earthbending; therefore this may only be used because of this and is unusable for others. Toph will always be beyond the level of other earthbenders and metalbending is unique to her. Aang's natural opposite is earthbending; therefore it may be way too difficult for him to learn metalbending and may develop another mental block.
Sorry if this belongs in theories; I thought that since it contains bits of Aang's character rolled up in it... o.o

I know this is very late considering this was posted July 21 but..
I don't believe that Aang will learn metal bending because it only says the Avatar is the "Master" of the basic 4 elements.
Or maybe I'm wrong thats just my theory...

Aang needs to see like Toph to bend metal.

Hmm, I think he'll be able to. After all, In The Runaway Toph was practicing with him and he was seeing with Earthbending. At least, that's what it looked like:

if hes being taught in her unique style she learned from the badgermoles he might be able to do it he is the avatar after all. I dont think any other normal earth benders will be abe to use it cus they use a different styles. Tophs teaching him to earthbend the way she does, sure she told him to feel the vibrations of the boulder on his first day by blindfolding him

I don't think he should learn it. I think it'll be nice to have Aang's teachers have a bending-related ability that's theirs and theirs alone.
Toph's got her metalbending...
Katara's got her healing...
Whoever teaches fire...well...lightening maybe...but he's probably going to need that. If it's Zuko I really want to see the boy surpass his sister in something and go straight on to lavabending...

Aang might "see" like Toph, but he won't be as good as her. Like he might just have a general idea of direction while Toph will have pinpoint accuracy.
He needs to be blind for his other senses to kick into overdrive and really see like Toph.

I don't believe he will mainly because metalbending is a skill that makes Toph unique, Katara healing, Azula blue fire...and so on. Aang's already unique anyway cause he's the AVATAR bending ALL FOUR elements is pretty cool as it is.

Females in the Northern Tribe are only taught healing because they're not allowed to fight.

Well, Hama's in prison now, so she's out of the picture.

Yep, i think so. I can't remember the episode but Aang got the same glowing lines around his feet as Toph gets. I think it was in Season 3, but it might have been earlier.

I don't think aang will learn metal bending or lightning or healing..... These seem to be the top level of each bending art and the ppl who can do them have been studying their bending art for years....... Aang will probably learn the top level of airbending whateva it is but i don't think he will learn the top levels of other bending arts.....at least not in this series

I think that Aang has the capability to learn it but I don't think that he will before the invasion or any time after that that we may see.

I'm with nandireya on this one. I would like to see the teachers have parts of their bending that's theirs and theirs alone. Maybe, after much study, a few of the ultra-high level moves could be learned, but only after a long time. Personally, I would definitely like to see metal bending go to Toph and Toph alone, unless of course Aang wants to bore his eyes out with a red-hot skewer and walk around blind for a dozen years to heighten his sensitivity to the earth...
