Aang's Final Year in Life 

Considering that he was not only the last airbender (at least until Tenzin was born) and also the avatar, it's safe to say he had a massive responsibility to bear in his lifetime, so it's understandable that he would feel pressured to prioritize those duties even if it was at the cost of his family life. The fact that people think he wasn't good to his kids as a father shows that they don't understand how big of a responsibility Aang had, given the circumstances in which he had to live through during his lifetime

It's literally just bad writing. Aang is all about more the merrier and loves sharing his culture, he literally had a group of air acolytes who he shared air nomad culture with, so why would he turn around and npt share it with his own children? It's simply bad writing. In the rift comic, we see how much aang loves sharing his culture, to the point he was quite mad at toph for refusing to take part. And yes, people change but in anags case no. The fact aang had acolytes eveb when he was older proves that no, he didn't change and still lives sharing his culture. Furthermore, aang being a bad father would make katara a bad mother because she let her husband neglect her other kids. Which also would make very little sense. Especially when you consider how katara felt when her dad left, you'd know she never let her children go through that aswell. But since it wasn't actually confirmed, and we only got bumi and kyas perspective, we don't known if it's actually true. Bumi and kya are old, fr all we know they could've been bluffing. But yeah, there's no justifying it, it's simply horrible writing and doenst go with aangs charecter at all.

​@@bunniesrunup you reasoning about Katara being a bad mom makes no sense. She's a bad mom cause she can't corral the strongest and busiest person alive to spend time with his kids? All she could do was step up and try to be mom and dad, having to do that doesn't make you a bad parent. She could have also sulked around at the fact that her husband was rarely around,or just retreated all together but she didn't and ALL her kids love and respect her.

According to 2/3 of his kids he wasn't there for them. He was a neglectful parent and while he had reasons to be it doesn't change the fact that he was. Also, Tenzin obviously proved the man had enough time to spend with his kids but only the one he favored. That's not good parenting.

@@ajrod2005 what? Did u even read what I said? Saying aang aas busy is a shit excuse because he was still bake to make them for tenzin lmao. What makes kataang a beautiful ship is that they always keep eachither in check. There'd no way katara would sit around and let her husband neglect her kids. It's that simple. Aang being busy, again, makes no sense, as he always managed to spend time with tenzin.

Ikr

It is my ONLY issue with LoK tbh. I found it a fine show otherwise, never understood the hate except for the hate on that part. Don't get me wrong I understand why they did it, but, it's still a writing decision I don't like and felt they didn't need to make it.

what did korra do? bc i’m pretty sure Una-Vaatu broke the connection ….

@@blackwingaf You said it, Korra did NOTHING wrong there.

what did korra do

Lol

The new series should fulfill that wish. I doubt they'll do a scene for scene remake, so he's basically another Aang

@@hollywoodguy70 and I’m 10000% here for it 🥹

We're getting a movie set a few years after the events of tla

@@kelvinb16 I know, and I’ll be one of the first viewers lol ☺️

@@kelvinb16animated? Or live action?

I think they are working on a movie

@@rebel2191yh

Funny you mention that... They're working on that exact thing, it's supposed to release as an animated movie!

@@notisac3149 they better not make it cheesy the same way as legend of Korra, I honestly didn’t like it cause she was trying to prove she’s some sort of “badass” when it just made it cringy

​@zachnoe4503 korra was not a cheesy show lol

it would be depressing af. especially cause all the air benders get wiped out a bit later

Exactly

I don't like korra Only loving avtar Aang

In theory, an airbender could create a vacuum, eliminating breathable oxygen from the lungs of firebenders, and making it so that their fire won’t burn properly.

@RiceCube Tech imagine getting punched in the arm by an air bender and that cause all the blood cells in that specific area of your body to explode because the cells are carrying oxygen. Or picture getting punched in the chest and your lungs explode

​@@RiceCubeTech Or simply blow waves of air at fire to unignite it

@@Bate.v19 or just having the air in your lungs expand violently from a guy standing 20 ft away with just one motion.

It does make me wonder what happened there though; the other air temples were cleared of bodies and bones, and generally a victorious army will make the effort to bury their own dead with honours, not leave them to rot on the ground.

well yes, that can explain the favoritism to tenzin- a new master to teach the next avatar. But at the same time, he was trying to keep his culture and bloodline in tact. Who knows if either of the non benders will have airbending kids down the line. Tenzin was as sure of a bet as possible, in terms of both teaching airbending, making more benders, and contining to share, and recreate his culture and home.

Aang's dedication to maintaining balance in the world is definitely a factor in his struggle for maintaining balance in his family, but I think his upbringing is an overlooked factor as well. Aang was raised not by his parents, but by the monks as a community; he did not have a model of parenting in a nuclear family and may have struggled with his role as a father. While he had Gyatso for companionship and social support, it's still not the same as having a dedicated father. Their relationship was largely based around mentorship of Air Nomad culture and airbending -- which clearly played heavily in his relationship with Tenzin and may have felt more natural to him regarding how to nurture. I'm really curious about Aang's reaction to the birth of his children, especially with Tenzin being the youngest. No doubt he had to feel some disappointment (in addition to deep affection) when he and Katara had a non-bender and waterbender first, given his desire to revive the Air Nomads. Perhaps all that anticipation, finally realized with Tenzin, also added to his lopsided attention for Tenzin.

actually aang died before sokka but i like the fanart too.

Oha yine türk buldum

This art makes no sense. Aang died first. We know this cause at some point Sokka met Korra

Aang died first, reason :in legend of korra season 3 tonraq says to korra , "when you were a kid the red lotus came to attack, at that time katara, chief sokka and some important characters fought against red lotus"

@@90sprinceofcrime67 how sokka met korra

Pretty good 👍

meh. corny

Bruh, don't make me cry😢😭

Karate

This made me sad reading this with the characters voices in mind 🥺

It's one of my MANY issues with the series. I don't like the fact that the cowards brought back Zuko and Toph as fan service after it's all but confirmed in the FIRST EPISODE that Katara is the sole living member of the original gang BUT by playing some word games they retconned that, maybe after I've made enough of a stink about it, they'll retcon Sokka to have always been alive and kicking using the logic that Katara was talking about a younger half-brother because it's just as honest! Damn it I hate Legend of Korra.

yeah, but that would have probably felt too rehashed. They probably wanted to keep their story beats new and fresh. not that they did a great job... COUGH COUGH LIGHT SPIRIT

@@abrahamedelstein4806 they never said Toph and Zuko were dead tho, Katara said her brother and many of her friends were gone. She’s lived a long life, let’s not act like in her 90 something years of life that she’s never made any friends besides Toph and Zuko. There was no word game, unless someone comes out and says otherwise assume they are alive

If Aang live to 166 years, I think Katara would have to be a little older that in her 90s.

@NateSupreme why? Ignore the 100 years, he was only 66, Katara is only 2 years older, Korra is 17 making Katara 85, the time timeskips should sit her right at 90

I dont think shell die early tho. Shell proably die in her 80s

Bruh lmao they’re not going to make her die the same way as Aang

@@ElementMucho Wdym, it wasn't the same, Aang died because his body survived waaay too long in the iceburg draining his lifeforce, Korra got attacked by poison that should have killed her and even after she got rid of it, it has still left a mark on her, because of that she could die young because of the poison that was circulating inside of her that might of damaged her lifeforce enough.

Kyoshi and Aang were exceptions. In 10000 years, we know that there has been nearly 200 Avatars (according to unofficial sources, Aang should be number 170,174,178,182,186, or 190, because Air is the second element in the cycle it would follow 4x+2 with x representing the number of completed cycles). Kuruk is the youngest recorded death in his mid-thirties, Kyoshi is by far the oldest at 210. If you account for Aang and Kyoshi by removing 376 years from 10000 and divide by 180 (for simplicity, Korra and Wan are counted together as Korra fills in the gap in Wans life before his harmonic convergence) you'd get an average of approximately 66 years, which makes sense if you look at the life of an important being constantly getting into fights. Assassination, overestimating their own talent, underestimating their opponent, extreme natural disaster (Roku), or dying in combat due to age. Kyoshi learned how to extend her life, and Aang died at 66 biologically because of his century on ice. They are stand outs and unrealistic in the grand scheme of things, especially when you look at the Water avatars we know of, Kuruk and Korra, and the absolute struggle they had constantly (in Kuruk's case, after he lost his bride to Koh and stopped messing around). We know from the setting of the next Avatar show that Korra likely hits 80. It's supposed to jump from the roaring twenties to near modern-day technologically. With bending serving as reason for non benders to accelerate the industrial advancement, it could be slightly quicker than in reality.

@@jecrex8349 To be fair, you're most likely correct, ngl.

Bro shut up kid

He had is in the first half, not gonna lie

You should read both the A: TLA and LOK comics. They're great.

@@Wright805are the comics online? If so, can you send the link please?

Me too

i tried korra many times but never finished it, ATLA just hit different man watchin it over and over since a kid

I hope so

Aang loved his kids

I know his character did a 180 all of a sudden it's just weird for his character

He tried, but they weren't interested; so Aang focused more on Tenzin

Teaching Tenzin was more important, who do u think will teach future avatar air bending after aang's gone?

The other kids didn't seem into it, so I guess aang didn't wanna force them into it

They weren’t interested in it

Yea its kind of true, tho the connection is why aang kept returning in the legend of korra. without connection, they wont return in the series

Which only concludes that if any air nomads who had survived the attacks of the air temples as an earlier video theorized they would have had to be ones under 16 years old, to have been the ancestors of the ones whose powers of air bending were repressed or not passed down to their descendants who couldn’t use air bending until after harmonic convergence in series 2 canon lore ( see season 3 ) because I mentioned all of this in the video from this webpage on RU-vid with (the Ty-lee air nomad theory video ) made by this video’s web creator an while back ….

Everyone knows this he didn’t have parents he was raised by the monks

Why are you keeping asking dumb questions? If you know the Show, you know the details.

He didn't ask a dumb question in my opinion, he asked a legitimate question, although we know and understand that monks raised and after he was born, we don't know much about Roku's parents, we only know about Roku's best friend Sozin, Roku's wife ta min Roku's daughter rina and Roku's granddaughter ursa, but nothing about his parents, who I think we're fire nation nobles close to Firelord Sozin's parents

Aang’s duty as the avatar comes first. I wonder if this sort of thing has happened before with a nation nearly going extinct and it being up to the avatar to restore it.

Aang should have taken more than one wife realistically

That could be really good story line …. In order to make connections with the previous avatars the new earth Avatar meets the spirits of previous avatars and in order to make connections they all tell him their life story (which would be really cool cause that way we will get to see all the avatars)😭😭

Yeah, this pic is inaccurate.

She lived that long cause a earth technique

No he was only alive for another 54 years before he died
