This theory assumes that the "clouds" underneath the air nomads while flying in Wans time are purely a stylistic choice.

Which I always believed it was as this flashback had tons of artistic changes. The lion turtle designs, airnmad arrows, etc...

As Tenzin said, “Who doesn’t want a sky bison as a friend?”

[Baq-yow]

Appa literally had the entire show on his back

[Loydthehighwayman]

"...bro, but you lost your powe-"
"Don't care. Have you look at this cute thing? Its worth it! They can fly too, so who cares?"

“It was a wise choice of you to choose love and compassion over power and strength.” -Iroh

[jeremiahharris]

"TELL ME WERE APPA IS!" - A seriously pissed off Airbender in the Avatar state.

[mad_ace]

"You muzzled Appa?!"

That's when everything around the air bender started flying

[imandaml]

Iroh said it best, "perfection and power are overrated, i think you are wise to choose love"

[MiguelEnriqueCVeluz]

"You lost your ability to fly?"
"Yip!"

[zericswords]

“Dude you just lost your powers.”

“DON'T CARE, FLUFFY BISON!”

[OneDayChange]

Basically, airbenders could not give up their air puppies

[luisg]

Ain’t the sky bisons the ones that taught the air benders

[sven]

The entire style of Airbending has changed by Aang’s time. You can see it in their hand movements and the way it reacts to the world around them. Not just Airbending, but all of the bending arts changed over the course of Wan’s time to Aang’s time.

Maybe their ability to fly really was the friends they made along the way.

[wesleydamen]

Cant blame them i would be attached to them aswel just most wholesome animal ever

[lorenzabarraza]

“Perfection and power are overrated. I think you are very wise to choose happiness and love”

[treymtz]

They gave up flight for a friend. 1000% worth the trade off.

That loop was too clean had me in a genjutsu

[earothefancy]

To be tied by chains for the love you have towards someone or something is a really touching concept

As Firelord Ozai said: "I am a Jedi, like my father before me."
