Part one of my Iroh Tattoo I'm getting.

Will be getting this colored in, in about a month. Very happy with it.

His one hand looks a liiiiiitle funky, but other than that, I'm excited for this that I wanted to share.

I now identify more with Master Paku and Iroh than any other character.

Why didn’t Aang remove Azula’s Fire bending in the manner of which he did to Ozai. It’s purely reckless, to allow such a previously purely evil person, whom along with her evil nature is also clinically insane, that simply is a seriously dangerous being, whom Aang kept armed when he has the power to disarm her permanently.

If they were to create a what-if/alternate timeline series for the ATLA universe, what are some what-if’s you’d want to see? I’ll go first. What if Katara didn’t have/learn the healing ability?

During the eclipse which remember only lasted 8 minutes bumi was able to reclaim Omashu completely by himself like Ik he’s a powerfull bender but Jesus Christ that’s crazy

I will start: Personally, I've always been intrigued by the White Lotus. Imagine a series delving into their origins, their secret missions, andall the members who make up the white Lotus. It could explore the politics, philosophies, and conflicts that shaped the world of Avatar from behind the scenes and obviously also about uncle Iroh.

Man the topic keeps coming up about Katarra's resentment routinely at TLA sub.. I just saw a few more recent topics from months ago about how Katarra not only was suspicious of Jet in his last appearance but also how she still holds a grudge against him when Aang warns her she's acting like Jet when she was targeting the Fire Nations general responsible for her mother's death and she does a twitch respond full of anger that her circumstances are very different.

But during that time the wounds were still fresh even if a year or two passed not to mention she was still very young and not yet reached adulthood.

I'm wondering based on what they showed of her in EU material if she ever got over Jet and had forgiven him with genuine intention or at least if her older personality have come to become the kind of person who would? By the time of the Legend of Korra what'd she likely feel towards Jet? Do you think she's grown too wise in her old age she let go of her rage or do you believe she still lingers with a bit of anger?

I rewatched some episodes of avatar and it made me want to look for something similar.

I tried a little bit Legend of Korra then watched some clips and reviews (Kay and Skittles vids etc) but didn't like it, the universe/settings have a lesser appeal + since it's a sequel to avoid repetition they made everyone a hypergenius (by the standard of ATLA), rare bending style that required training are common etc, questionnable additions/modifications (good/evil spirits and mechas really ?)

The bad points (for me) are "just" on the universe and writing, maybe the characters make the show better but from what I've seen I doubt it.

After looking a bit at the recommendations and not finding a pleasing substitute(lol), I remembered that "Wakfu" had a pretty similar feel to The last Airbender but I didn't watch all of it.

Similarities without spoilers (comparing with season 1 and 2(?) of wakfu specifically):

-The characters notably Aang and Sokka kinda have their counterparts in Wakfu

-The story follows a group on a quest

-The people have innate powers (different classes/races(?) in wakfu)

-There's creatures/monsters in the universe

-The conflict will require the cooperation of some nations

-The MC is a kid with a unique Power and has a pet(s) following him

-Have episodic adventures that expands the worlds

-Flashy fight scenes

miscellaneous:

-A western production that looks like an anime

-Multiple seasons

-A sequel that may come in a foreseeable future

Wakfu feel more like a regular kid show (no recurrent philosophical thematic and bit less drama) than Avatar which already is a kid show, but it's still enjoyable. Since Wakfu (the animated series) came later it may have took some inspirations from ATLA.

So if you're looking for something similar watch it if you haven't already cause I've never seen it mentionned in recommendations.

In the same time If you know other shows like ATLA, give your recommendations.

Would Appa have left without Aang's consent of Katara and Zuko? It might be something unclear but was curious if anybody knew anything.

The risk/reward of learning lightning bending is so not worth it from the perspective of someone trying to learn. They won’t know if they’ll be able to do it until it happens and if they don’t do it perfectly then there’s a very good chance it will kill them, meaning that one must come to terms with dying first. This is important for the characterization for the two major lightning redirectors in the show: Zuko and Iroh.

We know that Zuko is slightly suicidal, at least in the episode where he’s trying to redirect lightning on the mountain top. “C’mon, strike me! You’ve never held back before!” As Zuko pleads with the sky it’s clear that part of him wants to die to be put out of his misery and to end his suffering. This part is pretty obvious, but we also know that Iroh can redirect lighting, how did he first discover that he could do that? Personally I think we find him in a similar situation after he lost his son in battle that Iroh was also was suicidal in some way. He overcame it of course but it shows how much pain both Zuko and Iroh experienced.

I apologize if this was common knowledge in the show I just wanted to share my thoughts on people looking to be struck by lightning.

So after my latest rewatch I realized that there’s two instances of people having prophecies/visions. First with Iroh having a vision in his youth of invading Ba Sing Se and then the prophecy Azulon found out about Roku’s lineage and that bringing the royal lineage together with the Avatar’s would bring great power. In both instances the prophecies were made by Fire Nation people, which makes me wonder if it’s something unique to firebending, and also both prophecies are self fulfilling with a twist. Iroh followed his vision to invade Ba Sing Se but the aftermath of that event (losing Lu Ten) are what eventually made him switch sides and invade Ba Sing Se to free it. And then there’s the royal line prophecy which Azulon obviously thought would bring victory to the war but ended up being the one who ended it (i believe the prophecy was about Zuko), so what’s yalls thoughts? have there been any more prophecies in the show or TLOK? I don’t recall any prophecies in the novels either but it’d be fascinating if visions were a very niche sub category of firebending, it reminds me of Melisandre in ASOIAF reading fire to see the future

ATLA is filled with mystery and depth, but have you ever stumbled upon a fan theory that left you scratching your head or nodding in agreement?

I would like to hear the weirdest, craziest, or most controversial Avatar fan theories you've encountered or believe in.

Can't wait to read your theories and discuss in the comments! 🌪️🔥💧🌏
