The Life of Avatar Yangchen (Avatar Explained) 

Testing on screen intros for all my videos. What do you guys think? This one was sort of thrown together last minute so there would be better lighting, backgrounds, and audio for the future

Here's a fun fact that not everyone might know about Yangchen: Yangchen is actually a Buddhist name for girls, loosely meaning the sacred one.

They should make animated shorts for each of these avatars

I need “The Life of Momo Explained”

Air nomads are TOO good as avatars. In every case we’ve seen (to be fair only two) the air avatar did such a good job achieving balance and peace that their water predecessor was left with nothing but their egos

She tends to be the most peaceful and wisest Avatar that ever lived.

I hate the disconnecting the avatar from their past lives that legend of korra did

so far the air avatars are the best in my oppinion

The Boulder is conflicted about not having a video

It’s crazy how spiritual this kids series is

“Selfless duty calls you to sacrifice your own spiritual needs and do whatever it takes to protect the world” - Avatar YangChen

The fact that she’s the most successful avatar yet the least talked about, shown and praised just absolutely confuses me. And Aang too tbh he wasn’t appreciated much nor did they talk about him often and he got outshined a few times. The air avatars are the best.

I find it cruelly ironic how the Air Nomads went from the only nation with all benders, to being reduced to the Air Acolytes who had no bending at all.

I always found Avatar Yangchen more calming than the other Avatars before Aang.

YOOOOO THAT GENERAL DUDE HAD THE SAME THING ON HIS FOREHEAD AS SPARKY SPARKY BOOM MAN

I love the Air nomads.

Also yangchen sounds like "for example" in Thai, which makes sense since she kind of is an example for other avatars

Ahh yes. 10+ years atla is still relevant, just like minecraft.

Airbender in the front, party in the back

Everyone stop hating on Kuruk. Yangchen, although she was an amazing avatar, she neglected her spiritual duties in certain ways. She made peace in the physical world but by doing this she caused a rift between the spirits and humans. (Some Humans broke promises to the spirits angering them). Because of this it left a large spiritual debt that had to be paid, so kuruk did. (Yangchen Also angered the spirits by siding with the humans on a lot of matters, such as lands and who owns them). He had to battle spirits at night, those spirits slowly killed him and drained him of his very essence. So he became a player and had parties because the spirits left him so empty and cold and so he needed a distraction. He is one of the most selfless avatars, he gave up his friends and his life, to fight evil spirits. His friends thought so bad of him since they thought he neglected his duties but really he fighting continuously to maintain peace - fulfilling his avatar duties. He told no one so that they did not suffer also, and that Yancheng legacy was not tarnished by her large mistakes. They were so large that it cost Kuruk his life to make amends - one dark spirit even caused Kyoshi some problems, Father Glow worm.(She was so loved by everyone that they asked her for blessings and protection, even when she died). He let his friends leave him and fall in love without him because he hated the thought of them suffering with him. So he did party and drink, because he would fight horrifying spirits that would eventually killed him, hence him dying at 30. He knew he was going to die young and miss out on life but he continued nonetheless. Please don’t say his life was easy and chill - in fact it was the very opposite. Also Yangchen is not to blame at all, all avatars make mistakes. She was one of the best - she is the reason for much peace. Kuruk is one of my favourite avatars because he let everyone think he was a terrible avatar so that Yangchen could remain a hero. I don’t know how y’all can call him lazy and be hating on him after all he did.

I would love it for the next earth avatar to try and connect with kyoshi and eventually somehow find her spirit, I'd like to think that the past avatar spirits are still around but just free now

Avatar Yangchen is low key the best Avatar.

I was mad when in LoK had past Avatar lives destroyed. I guess am a traditionalist that way.

Even tho she’s got a 7 head. She’s very pretty.

We want “The life of Appa”

Yangchen was devoted, stalwart, and passionate, therefore in her next life the next avatar Kuruk was laid-back, fun-loving, and irresponsible.

I love all the avatars, korra included. They're all very different with different journeys and different mistakes. Yangchen was probably the most enlightened of all the avatars, but seeing this and knowing she also struggled in her younger days makes her feel like the rest of the gang! Kiyoshi was lost, Korra was immature, Aang was young, and Kuruk was distracted. But they all eventually made their mark and were important to their respective generations. It makes me really sad to see any of them being hated on tbh :// the entire avatar series (atla, korra, comics, etc.) is amazing and I'll forever be in love with it and its characters

Why TF the staffs put so much effort making the legend of korra more than making yang chen or Kyoshi instead.

even with her shaved head, she's pretty as hell

When i was a kid and saw avatar Yangchen, I had a feeling that she was an intelligent lady. My guess was right!😍

She lowkey only had about 5 minutes screentime

Hairstylist: What you want? Yangchen: Yes.

Hey I just looked into it and the spirits of the past lives of the avatars didn't actually died completely. They were simply cut from their link to Korra they are still in the spirit realm but unable to connect directly to Korra. she can still contact them through the spirit world

im surprised he could make a video of yangchen let alone a thirteen minute video because in the last air bender we only saw her once

"Avatar Yangchen was very well rounded." I agree, she was well-rounded as a character and (looks at her head) ...also physically.

I think avatar is the only “american?” comic that I truly like. Everyone have their own strength even though they’re not the avatar. They also portrayed that all of the avatars as not perfect and all powerful

Yangchen was definitely pretty involved in helping her successors. Her own book seems to explain why.

I am still sad that Firelord Sozin was so creedy that he destroyed the Air nomads. Imagine what would have happened if Air nomads would have come back in legend of Korra as Korra left the portals open. In my mind airbending can be as calm as breeze and when angered, it can be as raging as hurricane. It would have been cool to see Air nomads fighting against Kuvita and protecting people against her robots. They would have shown Tenzin and his team of airbenders how it really is done. And Tenzin's line would have been something like this "I though I knew everything about my father's cultire but it seems I know nothing at all. When used as weapon by skilled airbending master, the art of airbending itself can be as moving as water, as steady as earth and as raging as fire. It seems we have lot to learn." As I love Air nomads so much I may write a fanfic about how they are not cowards like they are portayed to be by other nations but rather deadly fighters in a way it would make Korra's generation to respect them.

please make one about fireload ozail, i wanna know what happened after he was jailed

All i want in life is a Yangchen animated series or book series.

I thoung the best avatar is Kyoshi, but YangChen is the best!! She took her role seriously, not only for her air nomads or region but for the entire world!! It makes Kuruk can sleep peacefully with hiss wife untik Koh

I really wish there was more information about the other past avatars, beside the ones that we have already seen in the show or comics.

Well I think airbenders avatar is basically the best to master all elements so fast

I would love to see a short series about her life she seems so interesting.

I’m really interested in Avatar Kuruk’s story as an Avatar. If you could, I’d like to see the life of avatar Kuruk.

I'm still so mad kora, destroyed connections with the past avatars. Seemed really unecessary.

why people acting like its Korra's fault for the broken of connection of the past avatar, it's the dark spirit who did it and it happend for a reason.

12:31 Counting Aang as 1 and down the third row, the 11th avatar that looks like a firelord I find her so cool🤍

We need a book where they collect memories of the old Avatars to have Korra reconnect with them. She can only go as far as Ku’ruk, and then the spiritual journey continues deep in to the spirit world, reconnecting to her past lives

I really like the on screen intros they’re cool. I love these avatar character videos they’re great 👍🏽

I feel like you're not understanding that moment of Korra though, Yangchen and the rest weren't like deleted from existence, they just aren't connected to the Avatar anymore. They can't be called upon or whatever but I think that's different than annihilation.

OMG THE BOOK DAWN OF YANGCHEN IS OUT NOW!!! I'M 1/3 THROUGH IT AND LOVING IT.

This Avatar Universe is so good

Can't wait for the new Avatar show on Netflix

It's so sad how Korra ended. Aang, Yangchan, Kuruk! It really breaks my heart! I hope one day theirs an episode where Korra finds away to get them back like Aang did!

6:58 isnt that the festival that Toph refused to participate in at first because Aang said something that brought back her memories of her parents ?

i will always hate the fact that korra is now the "first" avatar.. after all these years of past avatars she was the one that screwed the whole thing for me she will always be the weakest avatar.. though i liked the series

The fact you have someone born of a "peace/isolationist oddly worldly/somewhat accepting people", sho still understands the concept of doing what needs to be done for the "greater good" illustrates her as one of the most well-rounded avatars the series has created. It still give me a laugh what she said to aang, stright too the point to excersise power, doing what needes to be done for the greater good. Also compared to i belive the best (avatar) at current kyoshi,

I love your videos so much! Very well researched and no random loud crap. I enjoy seeing you in the videos as well (and your doggo lol.) Keep up the awesome work my guy

You literally just made my grow for this series grow deeper. Tbsh This is and will always be the best series in the world. I want my kids to watch this series once they turn 14 lol.

What's to say Korra couldn't recover her connection to her past lives? After harmonic convergences I think it could be possible if Korra explored different methods to recover the connection. That would be for a good story. A reconstituted avatar journey for the other avatars. Any theories?

🌟 *I miss the Avatar series...* 😕😕

So the avatar cycle went from: Smart to Arrogant to Very tall to Too nice to Bad parent.

Good job, your narrations are some of the best keep up the good work, you've gain a new supporter!

WE NEED CABBAGE MAN LIFE NOWWWWWWW

I'd really like a book on Avatar Yangchen, just like there is for Kiyoshi. I certainly find her more interesting

Did you know that these names are actually taken from Tibetans. Eg Yangchen, Tenzin, Kelzang, Gyatso etc

I keep reading boma as momo. Momo was so wise, I think he was in all the avatars past life as someone or something. Theory time!! 🤓💗

I'd love to see an animation of her story.

Movieflames you gots to do the life of Logan a tribute to wolverine he's so dope

I think the parallels between Yangchen and Kuruk and Aang and Korra is very interesting. Both air nomad Avatars are revered by most people, but the latter Water Tribe Avatars have pretty spotty records when it comes to bringing peace.

Earned my sub literally because of your avatar vids great job bro

I got headphones today and love the quality also love your videos more ❤️

I’m loving the new intro!

WOW. She was AMAZING ! One of my favs now. Thanks !

Your professionalism and the way you speak is amazing

Avatar Yangchen looking like a snacc

Love the video! It always makes me sad tho to hear about the connections between the past lives being destroyed. I hope se will get to know the past lives more by the Last Airbender comics or the live action adaptation 😊

I know, even thought Yangchen is one of Aang's Past lives, I can see her as Aang's Mother!!!

Love your videos. Can tell you're a true fan Thanks for making your videos 😁😁😁

Wow, fascinating stuff! I've never heard of this before. Where is all this information from? Yangchen is one of my favorite avatars; she's so interesting!

Hi Morgan, I love your channel so much. Do whatever you're most comfortable with. Being off-screen is fine. On the Harry Porter Series, could you please do a video on Rita Skeeter. Thanks.

Next avatar would be from Earth Kingdom and he/she need to master spiritual connection because she/he needs to go to spirits world to talk to Aang and other avatar because Korra is a bad mentor

yangchen is so beautiful and a waifu too 🥺

They should've made a show about Yangchen, not korra.

Like the face cam. A tip I can give you is to use noise canceling like foam on the wall or other thing to make the noise quality better

Always nice to see the person behind the voice 😌

Yangchen was so good that Kuruk didn't feel any problem

Was watching another vid, I SAW THIS CLICKAD FAST AS HAM

Love the new intro :)

it was said that her bending was so developed that she could change the weather across the entire world

I love Morgan's calm voice.

Can you do a video on the waterbending avatar who came before Aang that lost his wife's face to Koh the face-stealer?

I just want another Avatar universe series (lets say 4 seasons) :D From (even) before Yangchen. Just a group of people (benders and nonbenders) travelling the world.... I wanna see the traditions, character development, interesting dreams and relations, some problem solving and even special bending techniques that might not have been even recorded.... heck... there doesn't even have to be an avatar on the team :D just a bunch of people travelling... perhaps to meet the avatar and learn something fro them? lets say someone from some small village with a problem that only avatar can solve but they cant reach them so they embark on an adventure to find the avatar ....that can make 2 seasons on its own... the rest can be finishing their dreams or something... :DD and who knows.... I wonder if there is something in the great ocean west of fire nation and east of earth kingdom....

2:16 MOMO’S RELATIVES !!!!

That was awesome, thanks for the review.

You've got yourself a new subscriber! Are you gonna review the Netflix series when it comes out as well? Also cool dog😊

She's beautiful ❤️

I genuinely love your videos on the pass avatar lives

Fantastic love your videos!!!
