I really don't feel like theyre "air nomads" the culture has been completely disrupted and there are going to be people who are Airbenders that choose not to be a part of whatever is created as the air organization.
I kind of see them becoming a bit like the Jedi and the prequel trilogy. People who think they're all spiritual peacekeepers but actually just a military wing of the government
Its been basically confirmed by the books tho if you dont have the spirituality of the air nomads eventually youll lose your bending. At least thats what i understood by people talking on this sub Reddit
You don’t completely lose your bending, but it can be weakened. Kyoshi’s mom Jesa was an Air Nomad who became a thief, and giving into greed and material desire reduced her abilities, so she had to use fans to compensate and direct her power
Why not? Aang didn't have the mentality to earth bend at first after having been raised by the air nomads. Why would it not make sense that the one style of bending unendingly characterized by its connection to spiritualism would not function without that spiritualism?
Look at korra, zuko, and Aang's difficulties when their personalities or emotional states conflicted with the style of bending they were trying to produce. Zuko lost his ability to bend simply by no longer having hate and shame to fuel his flames. Even Katara's emotional outbursts that involved stronger than typical displays of bending show clear evidence of a link between mental states and bending capabilities. It's pretty much the entire arch of Korra's airbending training in season one.
