One thing I’ve never seen anyone mention is that this is the first time Toph experiences Aang in “Locked the fuck in mode”. She probably has no idea why Aang’s voice changed or what is going on but when Sokka grabs her to run, she offers zero resistance. She probably thinks Satan showed up and is just happy to get out.

I know you meant Toph can't see the birth happening because she is blind but you forget how she explained that her bending allowed her to see the most subtle movements like ants or heartbeats so imagine the whole birthing process echoing through her mind radar, every push, every movement that the baby had inside before and during birth. Maybe Sokka fainted from seeing it but Toph has it printed in her brain scanner.

With Sokka freaking out about an imaginary spider for Suki, while there is a little sexism i believe he is just feeling over protective for his potential love interest after losing Yuei to the moon.

It's part of how Iroh is trying to heal Zuko, even if Zuko is being an annoying little shit

5:30 I never noticed before, but when Sokka spots the cactus, you can see that other parts of the plant have been cut. Sokka is not the first person to do this. It was probably sandbenders, who wouldn't be traveling alone and would be able to leave the desert easily, but what if it wasn’t?

[@allukazoldyck3772]

Ideas for the Dark Avatar: 1. Conflict. Both water tribes and the fire nation are fighting for more resource (living on ice and by volcanoes probably is not easy). This meaning that they have to fight the earth kingdom for their land and each other. The earth kingdom is falling apart as kings, like Bumi, are slowly breaking apart to make their own independent nations. And the air nomads are constantly on the run and help refugees when they can. Then slowly start to lose hope in the other nations and isolate themselves to the four air temples (this time period would have started with the air nomads being everywhere and forced to separate with the world. 2. Avatar Childhood. Abandoned as a child for being a non-bender of a noble family (which every nation) and left in the wilderness to die/survive. Animal companion, like Appa/Momo, would help keep the child alive. Past Avatars start coming to them in dreams and some time manifest to help the child live till they are found by air nomads fleeing one of the other nations. As they travel with the air nomad the child see the war and later is brought to an air temple to live. 3. Avatar Teen Years. First few years are adjusting to living with people again. Later they are playing with others when they learn that they can airbend. They start the lesson then with other airbenders and life seems fine till they start having nightmares of the war they saw as a child. Past avatars start appearing in dreams again telling them that they have to balance the world. The teen starting talking to the monks about the dreams and starts being trained as the Avatar (the air nomads knowing how to teach every bending style from living in the other nations, but only basics). 4. Avatar Takeover. Having mastered all elements from the past Avatars they also hear about their time periods and how peace was back then. Having heard all the tales the Avatar start to think about how they could bring peace to their world. The idea of everyone being united is the core of the Avatar's thinking, but gets twisted as they start to take over every nation to be the one ruler of everyone. 5. The End. The Avatar will die either of old age (showing the power of the Avatar and no one being a match) or killed by a loved one (spouse or child). The world will then be tossed back in to chaos as people battle for power again and the existed of the tyrant Avatars is lost is the coming wars. Sorry for the long essay that I wrote down, but the idea of a dark Avatar was too cool not to. Feel free to comments any hole in my idea or add on in the comments!

[@en4833]

I feel like the Avatar being mistaken for a nonbender does not make any sense at all. Like, the air nomads have a whole ass ritual that is guaranteed to find the Avatar, and it's pretty implied that every other nation has something similar too. Also, past Avatars just appearing in their dreams kind of destroys the previous canon that you have to be in a spiritual place to talk to your past lives. I'm not that big of a fan of the Avatar learning from their past lives, and it would probably be better if they find other people to learn from. Them just learning on their own feels Mary Sue/Gary Stu-ish. Also, Danny's whole idea for the Dark Avatar is that while the Avatar has to work toward the balance of the world, they don't need to be nice about it. The idea of everyone being united is directly against the idea of balance. Like Roku said, the four nations were meant to be just that, four nations.

[@allukazoldyck3772]

@@en4833 First I appreciate your feedback. For the nonbender issue I have three ideas; either the Avatar is a late bloomer and doesn't show signs of bending till later, or their bending is considered too weak, or (and this would be a stretch) the child bends a different element than their parent. It could be a good thing if the child knows a little bit of bending to help them in the wild. For the past Avatars I was thinking along the line of the Avatar cycle trying to keep the child alive, but I can see how the lack of spiritual energy/place would be a problem. My idea would be to have the forest the child is abandon in be inhabited by spirits (seen as cursed to the other human); I am thinking along the lines of the first Avatar being friends with the spirits and them helping him out (haven't watched Korra in forever so feel free to fact check me) and maybe have the spirits help the child live instead of the past Avatars. It would also help explain their moral compass being a little crooked as spirits don't think like humans. Fair enough with the Avatar not learning from the past Avatars. The monks can either fully teach the Avatar themselves or they can find some refugees that are benders to help (this could help move locations from temple to temple as they will likely have different people due to surrounding populations). I was inspired by Danny's idea of an Avatar not needing to be nice and took it a step farther by trying to make more of a villain Avatar. Again twisting the idea of the world being united as not peaceful co-exists, but fully ruled by one person.

Dear Danny, Avatar have deep conections to specific animals. It's like a they are a part of them. Roku and the dragon, Korra and the polar bear Naga. Their conection runs deep, when Aang lost Appa, he felt as if he lost a part of himself. It makes sense that he's in his sad emo boy era

[@shardonayM]

10:38 thank you for acknowledging Katara for literally keeping them alive

[@Vael221]

I think a better protag for a show would be the Avatar that directly follows the Tyrant Avatar. Like still go with the whole thing where one Avatar basically just decided f- it and went full tyrant in the name of peace and balance. And the main show is the next one in line dealing with the consequences of that: generations of people who know the Avatar as nothing but a symbol of fear, people hunting them down, and trying to be a better person and find a new path while constantly fighting the temptation to just continue the legacy of tyranny.

[@MeisuMeisu23]

It's kinda crazy cause Toph has been with the Gaang for all of like two days and all the shit she's been through is crazy. Especially since on rewatch I noticed that Aang never really apologizes for being a dick. I mean he was totally entitled to his reaction but a, 'Sorry for blowing up on you it wasnt you fault.' Would've been nice.

Sokka is literally in the environment most opposite to where he learned to survive. Deserts have lifeforms who have developed defense mechanisms to protect what little water they have been able to collect, there are very few environments with lifeforms with these adaptations. There's also the fact that having been flying around on Appa they can see water sources easily from above.

I wish we saw more characters with facial burns.

Kyoshi and Yanchen both go far beyond the boundaries of what is “OK.” They both killed a lot of people. Kyoshi froze the lungs of the guy who killed her girlfriend and joined a gang of bandits. Yang Chen favored humans over spirits so badly that she sparked an era of dark spirits that tortured avatar Kuruk and caused him to die in agony in his 20’s. She also exploded a few people’s heads with her airbending scream.
