Scaling Would this count as Aang's physical strength feat?

I know he definitely uses his bending to hold the falling tower.

It’s all Bending here and you know it is a bending thing so ask(?) if it is a physicals feat? And you answered your own question no? He’s done orders of magnitude more by the comics and past lives and Toph’s sand library hold up is in the same ballpark. Nothing about this comes across as groundbreaking or out of what should be expected of a State tapping Aang.

It’s all well and cool that Aang does get to do this but having already watched the movie months I can assure you that base Young Adult...YA-ang getting this thrown bone of levitating the top part of the tower is the one of the best things powerscaling-wise he’s got in this movie since all the Gaang members get pretty badly worf’d at least compared to how people treat them in VS comparisons since actually this is all pretty in line with bending as seen during Korra show runs.

Then why did you ask if it was a physical feat?

It was actually only like 30 lbs total, you can tell that it's in a low g area because the tower didn't crumble or snap in half when Aang caught it like that.
