      yeah, back then the sages didn't exist so there was nobody that could tell you that you were the avatar. but if i had to try and guess, i would say that like little kid Korra, he probably discovered he had the abilities by using them one day accidentally.

      Well it's likely that the first 10 or so avater didn't know that they were it was probably when the four nations just started their founding when they realized that every 100 years or so I new person with all four elements (it's likely that the four nations didn't communicate a lot because of war) but they'd figure out the cycle and what the avater was

    I think everyone seems to forget that Wan isnt just the first avatar. He's the ONLY avatar. He was reborn again and again after his first life as Wan. He's Aang, Kyoshi, Korra and all the others. Though they all have their own memories and personalities. They are still one and the same.

      @@seary2416 but it's said somewhere that it's impossible to destroy the Avatar cycle. I might be too optimistic, but I don't think the creators are the type of people who would just end the story like that. They'll make a show about the next Avatar that regains the connection, mark my words. Plus, guru Pathik also told Aang that if he ran away to help Katara, he wouldn't be able to get into the Avatar state and boom! He actually did later. So yeah. It all depends on what the writers choose, everything's possible. I swear, sometimes people are literally trying to find logic in a cartoon where the only limit is whatever Bryke choose. 🙄

      @RvB_Fan_since_8 4 года назад +59

      Emily E Part of me sincerely doubts that the writers would do that, but I really, really want them to. Spend a few episodes, if not a whole season fixing Korra’s mess and getting shit actually back on track instead of having to start over. Also think it has potential for some good comedy relief, like the link is built a little wrong and you end up with teenage Roku or teenage Kyoshi. Give us insight into what they were like younger while also leaving more conflict for the new avatar to solve. But yeah, we’ll likely just be stuck with bratty Korra who will tell the next avatar to not listen to common sense.

    A lot of people are saying that the reset of the avatar cycle doesn’t matter, but like, The Avatar State is extremely powerful because it combine all the knowledge of the past avatars, along with Raava’s power. But with Ravaa and all of the old avatars being killed, the avatar state is almost worthless.

      @LilChuunosuke 4 года назад +197

      I didn't even watch the entirety of Korra, but even I know you can't argue with this comment because that was literally the entire point of the writers doing that.
      Korra lives in a world where they feel the avatar is no longer necessary. So they were like "let's prove it by restarting the avatar cycle" as if that was a good idea.
      But as long as good exists, so will evil. Peace cannot and will not remain forever. So even if Korra's world doesn't currently need an avatar, sometime later in her current life or in one of her reincarnations, the world will need an Avatar again. And when future avatars look up to statues of Aang, Kyoshi, Roku, etc and go to call upon these past lives in times of need, they will not be there.
      The next time an avatar needs to master all four elements in a few months time to prevent the world from destruction, Wan and Aang will not be there to provide guidance.
      Remember when Aang was lost and stuck trying to decide how to handle the fire lord? He didn't just look to Roku for guidance. He went back multiple generations of avatars to seek out their guidance and their stories.
      What if the next avatar is put in such a dire and desperate situation? What if violence breaks out between the humans and spirits again? If the next avatar has to live through that, the only person they will have left to call on will be the avatar who started that war by disrespecting the first true avatar whose wisdom in *this specific scenario created the avatar cycle in the first place*

      @carolinathevampireprincess 4 года назад +12

      Exactly just like Yin-and-Yang and it's so sad that they took that away and replace with Westernized version of the polarity with Vaatu, and Raavu. I don't mind the first avatar but I don't like when they replace the idea of Yin-and-Yang like it's not there anymore. Although, one thing they both have in common are still considered to be balance of bad and good even though there are differences between the bad and good. Like for example, from personal experience I can be selfish, quite loud, moody, sound like I'm a dog or an animal, and careless.
      My positives are actually too sensitive (I am an emotional empath and know when someone is lying), strong than I thought because I feel looked down by others from personal experiences I appear as emotionless being that I don't wanna hurt people, smart, creative, relaxed, and emotional. Although I'm not good at speaking up for myself I realize the compliments I get that I have strong argument or opinions.

      I AGREE. I could care less if we were given a summary of his life. Going deeper into who he was, what he thought, what he felt, what he struggled with, what he achieved, what his bonds were like, etc. ALL OF THAT WOULD BE AWESOME TO SEE IN A SERIES. Expanding on what was said in the summary of his life we were given would be such an great thing to see. I’m just fascinated with how Wan just did his best for something he truly believed was the best option. Years later it’s seen it really didn’t help, but nonetheless seeing him grow and mature with Raava is a series I would definitely be willing to watch.

      VonDelacroix the main reason why Korra was arrogant and boasted her skills from a young age is because (I think) each Avatar is gifted in areas the previous Avatar either lacked or saw as their regret. For example, Avatar Roku had deep bonds with those around him and cherished individuals deeply. This was his downfall though when he failed to bring down his childhood friend which could’ve made him regret being the avatar at all. His next life, Aang, runs away from the responsibility of being Avatar all together which encapsulates Roku’s regret at his end (That portion was explained to me and I hope it made sense lol) Within Aang’s life we see him be connected to his spiritual side more so than anything else. He was also trained very well in air bending because he wanted to live as a normal air nomad and live the rest of his life normally with his people. After Aang comes the next Avatar, Korra, and she is born without these two things. She is definitely not connected to her spiritual side and cannot seem to master air bending at all. She also does what Aang’s biggest regret was in his life. Korra runs headfirst into training to be the Avatar and takes pride in it. She doesn’t shy away form it like Aang did, but embraces it and becomes cocky. When Aang left the air nomads, the extinction of his people came along with that decision and therefore a lasting scar was etched onto his heart forever. So, instead of running away, Korra goes in with full confidence she will achieve great things because she’s good at three elements out of four. I’m not sure if Aang lowkey resented spending so much time trying to be a normal air nomad or if being good at air bending ever brought him mementoes of sorrow over what happened to his people. I do, however, think that Korra is a reflection of what Aang couldn’t be. Aang was definitely not arrogant from what I’ve seen. He was a kid who had to grow up to save people. His previous life as Roku gave him the ability to form deep relationships with those around him (I think) and this is why he’s able to affect those around him, but also be affected by those same people as well. He had to learn different elements quickly and struggled internally with himself and his morals for he didn’t want to kill anyone. I sometimes see parts of Aang in Korra when she hesitates to do things you’d expect her to do. Moments where she backs down, stays quiet, or reflects inwardly are all things I see Aang in. Anyways sorry this is long but I just felt like sharing this as it gives us a new perspective of how to see Korra’s character! (Also it’s super late for me and I should be sleeping so I’m sorry for any typos)

      Karen Orellana she didn’t choose. She lost because Vatuu had more influence on the world than Ravaa. Which meant Vatuu was more powerful. If she didn’t fight the past loves would’ve been lost regardless. Vatuu fused with the antagonist and ravaa fused with korra and Vatuu was too powerful. But despite this she powered on and won at the end of the day. But she lost the connections of her past lives. No other avatar after her will be able to contact their past lives. What happened on harmonic convergence brought back many air benders which aang wanted the most, and it rebuilt the air nomads. And Korra is attempting to make up for what happened by writing about every single avatar that was lost she can do the next avatar can have access to the books be able to get advice. She trusted someone who was family and it cost her and others a lot. she developed issues with trust afterwards. But in the end overcame it, trying to be the symbol of peace she is supposed to be.

    Regarding how Wan is almost the opposite of what an avatar is expected to be, I think it's very similar to the difference between conquerors and kings. Someone who is good at forming nations or defining positions is not necessarily good at sustaining them. It took very un-avatar like qualities to acquire the power of the four elements, but when someone inherits that power they have a different responsibility to not let it go to their head -- especially since they did nothing to earn it in the first place. Humility has little place in the acquisition of power, but goes far in the handling of it.

      well, according to Roku, the avatar state is a very vulnerable state. one unfortunate event means the end for the cycle. so, it wasn't really impossible to sever the connection. Aang (Azula to be exact) almost ended the avatar cycle. if Katara was even a second late healing Aang with her spiritual water, the avatar cycle would've broken right then and there. so if Azula was allowed to almost destroy the entire foundation of the avatar state and she was praised for it by some fans, why is Vaatu (and Korra) getting flamed when it was explained in ATLA the cons of the avatar state.

      Korra didn’t destroy the past avatars. It was Unalaq and Vaatu, you know, the villains? I really don’t get this weird thing with the fan base acting like Korra went out of her way to break the connection to the past avatars. She was defeated by the villain, outside of killing the main character which would just not happen, Vaatu “killing” past avatars shows how powerful he is and his level of threat. Korra also loses something real and valuable. It’s called stakes. You are supposed to be furious, at the villain, and therefore hope the villain is defeated.

It suffers from the same branch of problems the prequels to Star Wars did, and everyone called George Lucas out on his shit back then. But not now, we're supposed to accept this backstory to the first avatar, that contradicts almost everything we know from the Last Airbender.
