Discussion I have seen someone argue in Facebook that it would have been better if Aang died with the Air Nomads so the next Water, Earth or even Fire Avatars could have been prepared to stop the war much earlier, do you think this statement holds any merit?

Discussion Greatest Prodigies in the franchise ranked.

  1. **Amon**

Mastered psychic bloodbending at 14. He was self-taught in removing people's bending. We also know he was a proficient regular waterbender too and he could fight and beat most people with chi blocking alone. He tanked a lightning strike at extremely close range and never lost a fight. The closest fight he lost was a 2v1 with Korra & Mako where after she got 1 hit on him he left the fight due to his secret being revealed rather than being unable to continue fighting - the other 2 however appeared fatigued. His brother Tarrlock who is also a prodigy didn't look like one in comparison to him. His bloodbending surpassed his own father's too.

  1. **Yun**

His bending was so good he was thought to be the avatar and he took on an extremely powerful spirit to a draw. We only ever see avatars using the avatar state managing to fight spirits this well and even when they do they have a habit of needing help. He was revolutionising earthbending to mimic other elements. All self-taught.

  1. **Aang**

The only character to showcase super speed. Battle both powerful benders and spirits while coming out on top. Was fighting other prodigies like Azula continuously while at a disadvantage while being younger than her too and still achieving draws. The youngest airbending master until Jinora - who let's face it became master after continuously complaining to her dad to be given the title.

[This is specific to Aang's airbending. His other elements would push him higher because he learnt seismic sense & lightning redirection so fast - but I'm ignoring those.]

  1. **Katara**

You can argue she could be above Aang. She didn't have access to a teacher nor any benders at all until she was 14. Then after she finally did, in a span of less than a year - she caught up to both Azula & Toph both of which are prodigies too. She learnt bloodbending and healing instantly.

  1. **Toph**

Although she was taught by the badger moles she had to bend in secret and that makes it harder for her. She managed to create metalbending and knew seismic sense very young. She is also 12 while Azula is 14.

  1. **Azula**

Azula is incredible managing to do lightning bending so easily before it became common. Then later in the comics she can redirect lightning too. But she had access to the best firebending trainers her entire life. Yet Katara in a span of less than a year caught up and Toph at 12 was at a similar level.

  1. **Zaheer**

Beat a bunch of white lotus members as soon as he got his bending. Defeated Kya & Tonraq after having bending only like a month too. Obviously not as good as the others on the list but the speed he achieved his skills is the most impressive.

Discussion Explanation of the politics needed.

0 Upvotes

Just a simple question really

The fire nation seems to be the most simplest nation of them all with a basic Feudal system.

But I don't understand the other three

Are the four air temples considered separate nations or are they all one just spread out.

And the water tribes aswell are they under a singular rulership just apart or what.

The most confusing is the Earth Kingdom.

Bumi is a king of the earth kingdom but so is that Kuei guy.

Discussion Why would someone like Korra more than Aang?

0 Upvotes

Looking at all the discussion around the new series, I’ve seen people pointing out Aang’s mistakes and so on; but really, why would someone prefer Korra over Aang? I liked Korra and enjoyed her series,she doesn't strike me as irritating the way she does others but in my experience, Aang is much more likable. So, why would someone prefer Korra?

Meme What should have happened

0 Upvotes

It's not really a meme, but it's more of a headcanon that I would have liked to see.

After fire lord defeat

Fire lord manage to escape and to come back to his kingdom

Fire lord : I may have lost but i'm still the firelord

Azula : no you are not

Azula : Put ozai in jail

I KNOW There are a flaws to this senario

But I think it could have been fun, and besides, it would have been in keeping with Azula's character.

Question Royalty last names?

5 Upvotes

So we know that rich families like the Beifongs have last names, kinda as a symbol of high status. But do royals have last names too? I mean does Zuko or Bumi have a last name we/I just don’t know about?
It seems like it makes sense that royals have a last name, but we’ve never heard of them in the shows.
Has anyone info on this?

Momo led Aang to the lion turtle. Also, Bumi specifically calls out momo in season 1 and season 3
