Avatar: What if Aang Never Ran Away?

[@boyboy2000ful]

So many people are asking the question "what if Aang never ran away"? but no one ever asks "what if Aang was never found by Sokka and Katara"?

[@theiabeltran4239]

@Reezy37 yeah that's why he died around that age, despite the past avatars reaching like 80+

[@boyboy2000ful]

@Reezy37 or OR someone else woulda found hem

[@boyboy2000ful]

@Reezy37 yea but thats not as relevant as the entire avatar world dying as a result of da fire lord wiping everyone out

[@michellecottrell3553]

I ha e many times I also ask why didn't the Fire Nation just wiped out the southern water tribe completely that was their greatest right after all

[@boyboy2000ful]

@Reezy37 nah because aang would have died after that, him dying isnt relevant if its after sozins comet. my original notion for asking the question is who else would have found him if not for sokka and katara, not if he would die.

[@BlackieChan21E]

I don't think it would take sang all that long. Part of the reason the fire nation got so strong was because of all the resources they were able to get over time with no opposition from the Avatar. Also with him missing for so long everyone gave up hope and thought he no longer existed. But with him there the fire nation would've never had such a stronghold on the world. Also there probably would've been a lot more fire nation on his side as well. It took a century of propaganda and teaching them fire nation nationalism for everyone in the fire nation to be on board. Originally thought on it were probably divided and once they had opposition from Aang they would've backed down sooner.

Considering Yue was born "without a soul" she was probably supposed to be the avatar. I'd actually prefer this over Katara but it would've been nice to see Sokka and Yue having a lovely relationship and Katara and her training together. Edit: The avatar is a reincarnation of Wan+Rava but if Aang was still alive no reincarnation would've happened so there was no soul that could've ended up in Yue. Korra even is a relative of Yue so it makes extra sense

[@yaboyshelz]

This is a dope idea

[@elbattarijamil7781]

Korra wouldnt have happened too

[@MrKlausbaudelaire]

Thats not really how it happens. The Avatar is a collection of souls, so the next Avatar is supposed to have one of its own. Otherwise there would be no past avatars, just the same spirit changing bodies like Doctor Who. And honestly, I think a 1000+ years immortality in a cycle of infinite rebirths would drive the avatar INSANE after a couple centuries.

Gyatso wouldn’t have died if aang had stayed because he wanted to leave the temple with aang then he realized aang was already gone

[@Knighthelmz]

I don’t think Aang would let the war run on until Iroh and Ozai are young adults, that’s still a very long time. Aang being around 25-30 would be a good age tbh. I like the way Aang could battle Azulon though, they will probably be the same age which would be cool.

[@Knighthelmz]

turd turdy I just checked and you’re right, I don’t really like this theory then. Aang battling a fire Lord that is 12 years younger is pretty weird, I can imagine Aang beating Azulon easily. Roku seemed around 25-30 when he was a fully realised avatar. If Aang was a fully realised avatar around that age Azulon would been a teenager. Aang wouldn’t let the war run on while he’s a fully realised avatar with enough power to stop them.

this is absolutely amazing and I agree with everything except for Katara being the next avatar I think that the next avatar would be Yue i think that Yue was supposed to be the avatar after Aang but because he ran away for 100 years she wasn't able to merge with Raava which is why she needed the the moon spirit to survive

One thing that should be considered is that the air nomads most likely choose not to defend themselves because they knew the avatar was not there, and the fire nation wiped them out because they thought they were lying and wanted to make sure no stone was left unturned. If he was there, if they knew where he was, they would defend him fiercely. This would change the trajectory of the entire war.

If Aang was still at the temple during the fire nation's attack, I cannot for a second buy that he would've taken out their army. If he had fought them, he would've caused a lot of damage, yes, but he would've died even with the avatar state. We see in the beginning of ATLA that his avatar state doesn't really give him control of the other elements other than perhaps the ones he's learned and the next he's going to learn. In the beginning, he only bends air and water in the avatar state, and first time he bends earth in the avatar state is after he's been taught water bending. While he's good at airbending, and the avatar state would definitely enhance that, I simply cannot find it "realistic" that he would beat an entire army of the best firebenders from the fire nation, who was also enhanced by the comet, and live to tell the tale

tbh i don't think that after so many years, Aang would still try to resolve everything with the air nomads methods, in the original series he didn't want to kill because the things they teached him were still kinda fresh on his mind (from his perspective everything happened a few months ago) but in this timeline, he would have seen the beginning and the unfolding of said war first hand, most probably even witnessing people die in front of him more often than in the cannon timeline (i just remember princess yue's death).

[@bryceallen]

I like the direction this took. My only gripe would be how would Katara learn how to airbend. In this timeline, with Aang passing and leaving no heirs (presumably unless I missed something), there would be no one around to teach Katara airbending. Maybe the former Avatars teach her, spiritually?

[@fyshi6226]

I know this is an old comment but there'd likely still be a few air benders, in the comics we see the fire nation using traps to capture the remaining air benders, that weren't in the temples when they attacked (they are called nomads for a reason) and with Aang still around its likely some will survive.

[@SilSolo]

Yea I think with Aang around he would’ve rallied the survivors and reclaimed at least one air temple. As a twist in this timeline Ty lee is kataras air bending instructor. Her family didn’t have to hide for long in the fire nation bc Aang came to the rescue and so their air bending and spirituality survived. This version of Ty lee is getting bored being just another prodigy air bender sister and gets her chance to do something different when she bumps into the new avatar. Oh and she still can block chi

I was with you up until the end.

[@MidnightAtarian]

Hello, 2 years late, hopefully comments are still read. I would just like to throw in an Idea based off of what we've seen in ATLA: When the air temple would have inevitably been attacked, I don't think Aang would have stayed hidden. If they knew he was truly there, they would stop at nothing to get those doors or wherever he was hidden, open. But like the summer solstice episode, i think Sozin would be shocked to not see a 12 year old boy, but the man he left to die, Roku. Avatar Roku telling the fire nation the truth of his demise would probably lead to them turning on Sozin in the moment. We need to remember a few key details about Roku. He was well liked, even above Sozin, so much so that when he defected from Sozin, a LARGE group of people tried to leave as well, he only took a small number of people to the island he lived the rest of his days on though. Roku was also the avatar after Kyoshi, who lived 200+ years and would have the backing of the earth kingdom still, as roku did. Avatar Kyoshi was only disliked by one group of people, and those were chin the conqueror's people. Roku's presence alone would cause the fire nation soldiers to question their next move, as we saw with the fire sage's who were against Aang, but knelt when Roku appeared even though they have been double agents for Ozai. So we know that the fire nations respect for Roku lasted well past his death. All of that being said: I believe upon hearing that Avatar Roku appeared before Sozin, the morale of the soldiers would decrease because of Sozins reaction to it, which would be one of disbelief. The Earth nation would have heard about the fire nations attack by then and knowing it's the avatar there, they would more than likely advance on the fire nation after the comet was over. Knowing Roku's wisdom, he would have probably done a show of power and then vanished ,probably would have smoke screened onto appa (definitely something that would need to be fleshed out had his showing failed.) That's where I believe our two versions would conjoin a bit. I do think once Aang woke up, he would still go to Omashu, where he would be safe as the earth kingdom would more than likely fortify Omashu upon learning of Aang's arrival and would have trained him in earth bending. I do think the earth kingdom would definitely team up with the air nomads after finding out about the destruction of the air temple. Air nomads were peaceful and all nations kind of had no issue with them until then.

[@denniswilliams6519]

Just like Katara said when Aang told the story... "You might have been killed with the other Air Benders." Aang with no training in any other element makes probably little difference against Comet-powered Fire Benders.

[@kristiandotson998]
