You do need to realize when Aang was in the ice burg Appa was around him almost protecting him or with him just like Fang did with Roku. Maybe Appa made a decision to prepare to die with Aang in that ice burg when the storm happened.
Wesley Sydnor I disagree with you here. If you watch it (I just did) Appa was drowning and when Aang surrounded both him and Appa with the ice Appa was forced back into the close space and as you should know, ice is water particles close together. Watch it again...Appa was a millisecond away from drowning and dying so he couldn’t even move into a position similar to Fang. It was Aangs bending that forced Appa into the position💪🏼💪🏼😎😎✌🏿
Aang: I nearly broke my moral code and slaughtered several sand benders when I found out my loving sky bison Appa was stolen. Korra: Where’d my polar bear dog go? She must be somewhere.
@@carmcam1 Does every avatar actually need a trusty companion animal? Appa also doubled as their mode of transport so he kind of organically fit into the story better than Naga ever did. Much as she was a very good girl.
@@Bustermachine yes avatars have a companion animal and i think the original writers for atla wanted to be that they had a bending animal like roku has his dragon that can firebend aang had a skybison that airbends the problem is there is no water bending animal so korra got stuck with a polarbear dog i guess next avatar gets a badger mole
Aang: "Appa, my lifelong companion has passed. I cannot live without him and will too soon depart this world." Katara, Aang's wife of half a century: "You what now?"
@@sansdieu1188 given that the Air Nomads had a set time in their lives to receive a skybison, it would make since that Ang's spirit guide would be reincarnated into a skybison from the litter he was choosing from, instead of one already chosen six years previously.
They need to bring back another animated series with aang and his friends not the live action version which I hope isn't another mistake like the last airbender movie
Juan Garcia appa was Aang’s animal guide meaning he would go to the spirt world and not Momo. Like, Roku’s dragon, Fang, died with Roku at the volcano to be in the spirt world with Roku.
Fooee Life in legend if korra idk if this count but korra had been poisoned and it was explained it was the avatar state that kept her alive and dispelled poison
ImJust NickNow I think mercury forces you in your avatar state. Becouse when roku got poisent it wasent Mercury. he couldn’t get in the avatar stat if he did he might could’ve servived. But if he got in the avatar state and he still died, the avatar cycle would’ve end
I have a theory: Just as the Avatars are reincarnated, their animal conpanions are too. So Appa would be the reincarnation of Fang, and Naga would be the rencarnarion of Appa.
I actually cried when a watched the episode where appa was lost... the flashback memories of him. The way he was treated and how he felt. It was so sad :((
Yea, imagine waking up to your husbands corpse and then a small child being born gurgling straight outta the womb "I'm da awataw an' yoo gahtta deaw wit it!" 🤣🤣🤣
Katara, of all people, would be fine. Not like he's really GONE gone, anyway. She's sad, but finding and training the new Avatar (who they knew must be a water tribe member) was something exciting to look forward to.
My only problem is that, it is stated that the Avatar usually lives a longer life than regular people. Unless they are killed or die in an accident, avatars live long lives towards their 100s or even more since Kyoshi lived to be 230. The creators have explained that the reason Aang died so young, at 66, was because he was in ice for 100, and while he did not age, he was using life force. And thus, he died much younger than he should have--which is why it was "unexpected". It is safe to assume that previous Air Avatars would have died at a much older age than 66. Possibly into their 100s. So, either their bisons would have died MUCH earlier than them, OR, those specific bisons would have enjoyed a much longer life than regular bisons, because of their link with the avatar.
You raise some great points! But it's not explicitly stated Avatars live longer than the average human. For example, Bumi lived well over a hundred years and was incredibly agile while doing it. And Aang died at 66 because of his excessive use of the Avatar state - it drained him. The creators have addressed the Kyoshi question. They explained that they always liked the idea of long lived people in Asiatic culture, that 'Kyoshi was a robust person', and that those 'who lived with pretty advanced chi fields' could live that long. It's a spiritual thing, rather than an Avatar thing :) Kyoshi has also been talked about as generally an exception to the rule given her age arose from a mistake in design on their behalf. ~ Tim
Slightly off topic, but I saw a WMG on TV Tropes that said that Raava intentionally froze Aang alive for 100 years. Over nearly 10K years of experience of living with humans has probably given Raava the knowledge that the typical human lifespan (after getting past infancy) is around 60-80 years. Knowing that Harmonic Convergence was only around 170 years away, Raava realized that, if Aang lived a typical lifespan, the Avatar who would fight Vaatu would either be too elderly or too young to have been discovered to fight a powerful enemy. Since Kyoshi was the exception, the Avatar spirit saw that she needed another Kyoshi and made Aang live “longer” (she slightly overestimated Aang’s lifespan but probably encouraged Korra to bend 3 elements before she was old enough to enter kindergarten to hasten the Avatar discovery process)
ok I know ima get wooooshed but there’s Meelo and Jinora and there’s also MORE sky bison! Including baby bison! And I would say more but I forgot there names...
Honestly i really didnt know wether to watch LOK or not but when i started watching i didnt notice that i was getting attached to the show and now when i finished watching it almost felt like i have nothing else to do with my life wtf
The legend of korra is a nice show people are just comparing it to much to avatar the last air bender and cant let go of all The past stuff from the show that’s why they hate it so much Also because aang died
It always did bother me that we didn't learn what happened to Appa in Kora. I know why, no one wants to hear a story about a dead animal that's just sad. But after the deep attachment I had to the character as a child and the anger and sadness I felt with Aang when APPA stolen and the relief after he was home and the family was whole again I wanted to know what how to our big fuzzy sky cow died. It felt a bit like a disservice to the long time fans, like hearing a friend who you hadn't had contact with in a long time was dead and no one would tell you how. It feels like there was no closure for such a beloved character, which is saying something as animal companions in childrens' programing tend to be the worst part of the show.
I agree! The only that kept me watching TLOK were the flashbacks of the original Team Avatar and we STILL didn't get enough information about what happened to them all. It was very disappointing.
The most common theory I've seen regarding avatar age is it's using the Avatar State. In this theory, being the Avatar allows you to live longer, but using the Avatar State is very taxing on your body. Kyoshi was shown to be pretty strong without the AS, and extremely strong with it. It's possible she never needed it as much as Aang, and so died at a very old age. Guess that means that Korra is screwed though. Her Spirit Guide Animal could probably make it to 30, maybe she could too? Of course, it was just a mistake from the writers who instead of retconning it, just rolled with it and said it was due to a badass factor.
They are connected spiritually and I believe that just as it is the case with dogs (where they can sometimes die of heart break if their owner dies), it is also the case between Appa and Aang. I suspect that if the writers would explore this as canon, they would show Aang passing and then the camera would zoom in on one of Appa's eyes as it too closes slowly - concluding Aang's and Appa's saga. This would be a truly heart breaking moment. Hell, I almost cried writing this.
Cesar then the avatar is gonna take away your bending lol Its strange since my real life name is Cesar... and I have a friend that has the same name... also my brother had a friend named Cesar... and I have a cousin that I barely know also named Cesar... The name just made me realized wtf.
@@quinnsinclair7028 He could've, because in Avatar, it showed a past Avatar of the Fire Nation, and he had mastered the Avatar State, and made three volcanoes erupt massively. Roku mastered the Avatar State, so he could've done it easily.
And like he wanted fang to live. He didn't want fang to die with him. He told that stubborn ass dragon to go he knew he was at the end. But fang was like nah bitch we in this together
Im more interested as to how Appa managed to save his species while being the only one left, like what kinda chick did he get to make the skybisons seen in Legend of korra?
What happened to Appa? He died when Aang did. They were bound spiritually, like Roku and Fang. ... I like to think that he passed at the same time as Aang, he was sad enough during "Appa's lost days" just being away from him, he would be one depressed bison knowing that Aang was dead.
I'm surprised you didn't touch on the reason on why aang died. I assume you know but for people reading who don't know, aang's life energy was greatly depleted after spending 100 years in the avatar state. Thus making his life a lot shorter.
The bison weren’t going extinct remeber when Korra landed on the shore and there were a ton of bison and she goes “we have been raising these bison since the 100 year war”
They where in fact going extinct those bison are a subspecies and their was only a small herd left that aang was forced to rehabilitate into rideable bison
@@youngswank5097 I've almost finished The Rise of Kyoshi and she doesn't have an animal companion yet. Granted she's only like, 17 years old here or something, but perhaps she only got hers later in life...
Well, he told Fang to leave cause he was being honorable and don’t want him to get hurt. By the time Fang came back, I guess he already was too far and died
sanguis M Well, momo was a bat lemur. Lemurs (like most animals of that size class. Cats for instance) have lifespans of around 20 years. So he probably just grew old and passed away long before either Aang or Appa.
I should clarify - if my maths is correct, then Appa should have died around 153 AG, the same year as Aang did. Welcome back, and let me know down below how you would like to die - the most inventive answer wins? I need to know for... reasons. Feel free to leave any other Avatar questions or topics you'd like me to cover down below. Stay nerdy! ~ Tim
Hello Future Me I thought your opening skit was really funny, that's exactly how I feel about my siblings sometimes too. I think you deserve heaps of subscribers, your awesome. You make great videos. I predict great things in your future. And all hail Mishka!
Your question sounds oddly like a threat... But my dream death is jumping from a plane and having the chute fail.... Because by the time I was done panicking it would be over....
My question: If Appa was the last sky bison, then how were there many many more bison is The Legend of Korra??? Even if Appa was actually a female, there'd still have to be another bison to mate with. So where did all the others come from??? Because I thought Sozin wiped them out, and the Gaang didn't see any others on their travels to the Air Temples.
If you watched the Second season you'd know there's was a herd of sky bison was being protected somewhere in the Fire Nation's islands far away from the Fire Nation Capital
Gemini 428 Yes, and no. The species of Appa is extinct, but the islanders rescued a similar species, you can see in their skin patterns. At least, it's what Konietzko said in an interview. It's similar to when European lions went extinct, there are still other kinds of lions, but not the European one.
A huge question I’ve always had with LoK is that there are numerous herds of both wild and domesticated air bison, it’s common knowledge and not a rare sight. But in ATLA we NEVER see or hear of other bison besides Appa, and they travel the entire world! It also stands to reason the fire nation would have attempted to wipe them out along with their masters. It seems very unacknowledged.
I think he's on the spirit world, like all avatars, hopefully with the love of his life, Katara. They might be gone, but in our hearts there's always Appa and team avatar flying to the sunset.
During San Diego Comic-Con, it was revealed that Avatar Aang found a whole new herd of sky bison. The new subspecies has a few differences, for example: old bison had four transversed strips plus the last one, that lies at the end of the tail, whereas the new species has more strips that are thinner. The new bison also have brown fur on their ears instead of white. You may also notice that appa and the bison in the show have different tail markings
If the only differences were some superficial markings, that's pretty damn close to the original. Though who is to say that THOSE bison weren't the original and the Nomad-cultivated herds were the genetic outliers, thanks to selective breeding?
Im a simple man.. if I see an Avatar video, I click. 😄 But for real I love these Avatar videos that you make keep up the great work. 😁 And to answer your question I'd like to die of old age, in my sleep if that's possible.. I don't know I just want to die as "peacefully" as possible if that makes sense.😄
I want to die peacefully in old age under my own statue of enslaving the human race in the name of peace via nuclear hellfire... Just like Gandhi in Civ games... Nothing wrong with that right? *Right?*
Did ravva kill aang? Aang was 66 and died untimely. Ravva knew it was almost time for the fight with vattu. Aang was a powerful fully realized avatar but like roku was slower in age. So ravva needed a younger more agile person..... like a water bender. So she has aang die and is reborn into the southern water tribe and has korra unlock 3 out of 4 elements to advance her avatar training. And by the time vattu is released korra would have the training, speed, and endurance to fight and win.
No, no no no no, this is very unlikely. You know why. Because the only reason vattu escaped was because korra's uncle what's his name (seriously what was his name again) got korra to open the spirit portals to release vattu. And while the portals opening was a good thing rava had no idea about them being opened in the future. To summarise: Vattu only escaped because of the spirit portals being open because of korra's uncle getting her to open them.
Caleb Heinis ravva would still be cautious tho. She's been alive for so long she would have time to think of the ways vattu could escape. Harmonic Convergence could break his cage or a spirit could do something, idk maybe someone tricking the avatar to help the spirits by opening a portal. And mind you ravva had been quiet for so long that not even the avatars knew she existed. Ravva couldn't really make a plan with aang let alone count on him to win with his age. So she took advantage of aangs request for the white lotus to train the new avatar upon discovery and had aang die in his sleep and hope the new avatar will be ready to fight should something happen and vattu were freed
Appa died because aang died and he got sad and let himself pass away to be with aang. My grandmothers dog did the same when we lost her we tried everything to cheer her up but she wouldn’t eat and just let herself go.
hey there, a question i had in mind for a while is how the avatar airbender tattoos work... they are not a part of his body from birth, but they glow when entering the avatar state. any other avatar stated avatar just get glowing eyes. i think it would make a nice video
greekgodst Yes that would be correct, they would have the tattoo's glow. But of course they wouldn't get any because they weren't of airbender heritage.
Caleb Heinis they still can get airbender tattoos. Just as long if they are airbenders and they are willing to do so. In the legend of korra, when random people that dont even have airbender blood got airbending because of harmonic convergence, they still trained to become air and got tattoos.
Can you do a review on Avatar the Last Airbender graphic novels: The Promise, The Search, The Rift, Smoke and Shadow, North and South (in separate videos, one for each graphic novel)
I’d like to think when a avatar dies their animal just softly and quietly breathes their last breath then joins their aviatar in the spirit realm No heat break No physical pain too them Just slips off with them
Leaves from the vine FOR APPA Leaves from the vine Falling so slow Like fragile tiny shells, drifting in the snow Little spirit animal Come marching home Brave spirit animal Comes marching home
Okay I understand we love Appa but don’t ever disrespect this song again. It has the saddest and sweetest meaning behind it and nothing needs to change at all nor who it’s for
I want to see team avatar as adults. As kids they were such an effective and powerful team. Imagine what could be depicted after years of teamwork and friendship.
But he could not stand to be without Ang and in appa alone there was a flashback that was an saying "I guess this means we will always be together" so I think they died together
I wanted more naga and Korra bonding scenes because the part in atla where appa and aang had been separated took a devastating toll on both of them Even the scene where Korra was taking her first few steps towards naga could have been more emotional
She even left naga behind for like 7 months or more wheb she was supposed to go back to republic city and when they reunited it was like 1 big hug and that was it, clearly they didn't have the same connection
I would die, in a battle where I save nation, riding a dinosaur into certain death against a whole army, where I win, but then die of wounds, and am mourned by said raptor, my family, my descendants, and my idols, while Morgan freeman and Sam Elliot narrative a documentary about me, which is then turned into a movie, where I am played by Chris Pratt. I'm simple that way ;-p
For all those wondering: Aang apparently died at 162 years old. He would have lived longer but remember for the past 100 years, Aang lived in a iceberg, while he was in the iceberg, that drained his energy and growth, so he technically died at 62. But in reality he was 162.
After the Fire Nation's massacare of the Air Nomads, how many sky bison were left? I don't remember seeing any others in TLAB, but by TLK there seems to be a good-sized heard. Apa must have found at least one sky-bison cow.
I mean given the level of technology in Avatar being less than our own, 66 is a pretty decent lifespan. Maybe being the Avatar and very physically fit you'd think Aang would have lived longer, especially with access to waterbending healing from Katara, but his death really wasn't that untimely.
The funny thing is Appa was supposed to be a polar bear dog like Naga when they were spitballing the concept art for the show but they changed him to a flying bison so he would be fit with Aang as an air nomad. The genocide and Aangs death was tough to watch but I don’t even want to think about how Appa passed

I disagree here. If you watch that scene appa was about to die when aang froze them. That’s just the position he was in
Jackson Hollingsworth I disagree with your disagreement. If you watch it (I just did) Appa does move from his original position. He curls his body.
This was also a hypothetical. This may or may not be cannon I have no clue, this is just speculation.

Aang died relatively young due to his time spent in the Iceberg taking decades off his natural lifespan, perhaps the same occurred to Appa.
Aang: I nearly broke my moral code and slaughtered several sand benders when I found out my loving sky bison Appa was stolen.
Korra: Where’d my polar bear dog go? She must be somewhere.
It's not like appa was the last remnant of a dead culture and the only link to his old friends family and way of life or anything

It always did bother me that we didn't learn what happened to Appa in Kora. I know why, no one wants to hear a story about a dead animal that's just sad. But after the deep attachment I had to the character as a child and the anger and sadness I felt with Aang when APPA stolen and the relief after he was home and the family was whole again I wanted to know what how to our big fuzzy sky cow died. It felt a bit like a disservice to the long time fans, like hearing a friend who you hadn't had contact with in a long time was dead and no one would tell you how. It feels like there was no closure for such a beloved character, which is saying something as animal companions in childrens' programing tend to be the worst part of the show.
I agree! The only that kept me watching TLOK were the flashbacks of the original Team Avatar and we STILL didn't get enough information about what happened to them all. It was very disappointing.
I agree with you :( I feel the same about Sokka.
*Appa isn't the last Sky Bison tho... there's a herald of Sky Bison kept on a Fire Nation colonies so... :)*
They got yeeted over there
“Yeeted” lmfao
They ain’t got shit on Appa
How did you know? Was there a part in the comics that says about that? Or did the creators said appa is not the last flying bison?
MJ Starr the comics lol
Me searching something about Avatar
*sees this at the top*
Me: how did appa *WHAT?!*
Appa wasnt there in Legend of Korra. Dont worry LoK is set in the future
2:36 that scene still gives me the chills
Please do a theory on why avatar kyoshi lived up to be 230 yrs old
The most common theory I've seen regarding avatar age is it's using the Avatar State.
In this theory, being the Avatar allows you to live longer, but using the Avatar State is very taxing on your body.
Kyoshi was shown to be pretty strong without the AS, and extremely strong with it. It's possible she never needed it as much as Aang, and so died at a very old age.
Guess that means that Korra is screwed though. Her Spirit Guide Animal could probably make it to 30, maybe she could too?
Of course, it was just a mistake from the writers who instead of retconning it, just rolled with it and said it was due to a badass factor.
GameDay Tampa Bay very healthy lifestyle.
Weed
Death was obviously scared of Kyoshi
@@dustinlopera655 of course :)
They are connected spiritually and I believe that just as it is the case with dogs (where they can sometimes die of heart break if their owner dies), it is also the case between Appa and Aang. I suspect that if the writers would explore this as canon, they would show Aang passing and then the camera would zoom in on one of Appa's eyes as it too closes slowly - concluding Aang's and Appa's saga. This would be a truly heart breaking moment. Hell, I almost cried writing this.
Is no one gonna answer the question on WUT DA HELL HAPPENED TO MOMO?!?!
OMG!!! Thx 4 all da likes u r all beautiful ppl!!!
Also dead
Fan boi 101 APPA ATE MOMO!!!!?!!! 😱
grurby 0711 well no duh I just wanna know how
@@inkybrixx1291 his life ended
Momo and Appa are died :'(
No one:
You: So let's talk about the death of the adorable flying bison who everyone loves
XD XD
Yeah it sucks he died but I wanted to know how
Yo vro yo comment was fire but the xd sucked
A single tear running down the cheek
@@pince3268 The Nobody ruined it for me
7:37 manatees existed because they knew that it would be needed to help design Appa.
I wish bending was in reality
Cesar wtf
Cesar that comment made my day😂😂😂
Cesar then the avatar is gonna take away your bending lol
Its strange since my real life name is Cesar... and I have a friend that has the same name... also my brother had a friend named Cesar... and I have a cousin that I barely know also named Cesar... The name just made me realized wtf.
you don't get too many A's i guess? other wise you'd be as succesful as CAesar
Except bloodbending
In a perfect world Aang, Appa and Momo would’ve died together.
y e s
he died with aang like how the dragon joined roku in his death.
Im still trynna understand why rokus dragon didnt just pick up roku and fly away 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
It was time for the next avatar to be born.
Nope roku was prob 60 years old
Avatars live for a while, way longer than 60 years old
Volcano eruptions are massive. It’s likely he couldn’t clear the blast zone.
@@quinnsinclair7028 He could've, because in Avatar, it showed a past Avatar of the Fire Nation, and he had mastered the Avatar State, and made three volcanoes erupt massively. Roku mastered the Avatar State, so he could've done it easily.
Im still tight Roku didn't just jump on his dragon.
dragongirl37582 he had inhaled too much of the volcano's toxic fumes. Even if he escaped, he still would've died shortly after anyways.
And If he hadn't of died at that EXACT moment, Aang wouldn't have been the Avatar. Because he would've been already born.
@@Sonic-hq9zz omg you're right
And like he wanted fang to live. He didn't want fang to die with him. He told that stubborn ass dragon to go he knew he was at the end.
But fang was like nah bitch we in this together
@@benbowers6619you ride together die together.
Title :how appa DIED
**leaves from the vine intensifies**
"sister's aren't human" that made me laugh😁
delta -bird-thing-donkey siri jk same.
lol my sister isn't quite human, or at least we don't think so... XD
it's true though
that's how my brothers feel😂
delta -bird-thing-donkey siri jk Accurate as hell.
Im more interested as to how Appa managed to save his species while being the only one left, like what kinda chick did he get to make the skybisons seen in Legend of korra?
They said they found more skybisons and flying lemurs in a different air temple.
As well as the fire nation had raised a herd in secret ..
PersonalPromises not flying sky bison
In LoK, the Fire Nation kept a hidden herd of Flying Bison
@AgmaDash wtf dude!?
What happened to Appa? He died when Aang did. They were bound spiritually, like Roku and Fang. ... I like to think that he passed at the same time as Aang, he was sad enough during "Appa's lost days" just being away from him, he would be one depressed bison knowing that Aang was dead.
I don't have time to die. Way too busy to pencil that into my schedule.
Phahahhaha
John doe?
I'm surprised you didn't touch on the reason on why aang died. I assume you know but for people reading who don't know, aang's life energy was greatly depleted after spending 100 years in the avatar state. Thus making his life a lot shorter.
His life wasn’t short, he became around 160 years old.
AMBJXRN but only about 60 REAL years of life
The bison weren’t going extinct remeber when Korra landed on the shore and there were a ton of bison and she goes “we have been raising these bison since the 100 year war”
They where in fact going extinct those bison are a subspecies and their was only a small herd left that aang was forced to rehabilitate into rideable bison
Those aren’t the original bisons they are descendants
PLEASE DO A THEORY ON WHO IS SUYIN BEIFONG'S DAD!! (SOKKA??) THANK YOU AND CONGRATS ON UR SUBS, U DESERVE IT 🌟🌟
Definitely on the list! And thank you for supporting me this far :)
~ Tim
Yey thank you so much & no problem!! keep dem theories coming :D I'm so glad that the avatar world, the theories and fanbase is still alive 😁💯
+ello vera what about lin? I personally think her father is zuko and toph lied about it, but who knows
Watch final season of Legend of Korra, Toph mentioned a man of kanto which was Lin's father
Gemini 428 lin and suyin have different fathers.
I agree with you, but damn kioshi companion lived for 200+ years
233 years if I recall correctly
What was her companion
She barely enter the avatar state that’s why
CanThisBeMyName has to have been a fucking tortoise or something
@@youngswank5097 I've almost finished The Rise of Kyoshi and she doesn't have an animal companion yet. Granted she's only like, 17 years old here or something, but perhaps she only got hers later in life...
I don’t get why Roku didn’t just escape on fang...
Because that island is Roku’s home along with many people which he cherished the most
Well, he told Fang to leave cause he was being honorable and don’t want him to get hurt. By the time Fang came back, I guess he already was too far and died
@@FengTheSlayer it's bc there was poisonous gas and he couldn't see so fang went to die with him
Me too bud me too
HE WAS POISONED, WITH METHANE, HE WAS GONNA DIE ANYWAYS!!!
How did momo die
sanguis M
Well, momo was a bat lemur. Lemurs (like most animals of that size class. Cats for instance) have lifespans of around 20 years. So he probably just grew old and passed away long before either Aang or Appa.
Appa ate momo-Sokka
sanguis M Sokka ate him
He was reincarnated as Meelo
The Fossa got'em.
I should clarify - if my maths is correct, then Appa should have died around 153 AG, the same year as Aang did. Welcome back, and let me know down below how you would like to die - the most inventive answer wins? I need to know for... reasons. Feel free to leave any other Avatar questions or topics you'd like me to cover down below. Stay nerdy!

? It says this video was posted 37 minutes ago but this comment was posted 1 day ago? Wth RUclips. Also congrats on 30k subs
Hello Future Me I thought your opening skit was really funny, that's exactly how I feel about my siblings sometimes too. I think you deserve heaps of subscribers, your awesome. You make great videos. I predict great things in your future. And all hail Mishka!
Your question sounds oddly like a threat... But my dream death is jumping from a plane and having the chute fail.... Because by the time I was done panicking it would be over....
Hello Future Me I don't wana celebrate
Hello Future Me i would die either go out swinging or fighting for my country on other hand id like to die of old age
So Aang couldn't live without Appa sad yet beautiful.
I'm touched.
"I want to be with Appa." - Last words of an emotionally devestated Aang.
Momo ran away 😂 after he realized he couldn’t defeat oppa in their battle ☝️
lol whaaat momo could so beat appa
YOU SHALL BE PUNISHED FOR LOOKING DOWN ON LORD MOMO OF MOMO DYNASTY
HIS MOMONESS IS MAD
Spalling iz herd
I hope Aang, Appa, and Momo are all in the avatar state together.. it made me cry thinking about it tbh
My question: If Appa was the last sky bison, then how were there many many more bison is The Legend of Korra??? Even if Appa was actually a female, there'd still have to be another bison to mate with. So where did all the others come from??? Because I thought Sozin wiped them out, and the Gaang didn't see any others on their travels to the Air Temples.
If you watched the Second season you'd know there's was a herd of sky bison was being protected somewhere in the Fire Nation's islands far away from the Fire Nation Capital
Ah, I must have missed that. Thank you.
LinWolf7 after the one hundred year war they finally released them back into the world
Hay maybe apa is a girl but a few days before she was frozen she got pregnant but it takes years for them to give birth
Gemini 428 Yes, and no. The species of Appa is extinct, but the islanders rescued a similar species, you can see in their skin patterns. At least, it's what Konietzko said in an interview.
It's similar to when European lions went extinct, there are still other kinds of lions, but not the European one.
8:47 _"That means that Appa might have died in..."_
8:53 *Italy.*
No wait what.
Agglomerati Produzioni this comment didnt age well
Died of the coronavirus in Italy
*That..that's uh...*
A huge question I’ve always had with LoK is that there are numerous herds of both wild and domesticated air bison, it’s common knowledge and not a rare sight. But in ATLA we NEVER see or hear of other bison besides Appa, and they travel the entire world! It also stands to reason the fire nation would have attempted to wipe them out along with their masters. It seems very unacknowledged.
So even Aang’s spirit is dead now 😭
😭😭😭😭😭😭
I think he's on the spirit world, like all avatars, hopefully with the love of his life, Katara. They might be gone, but in our hearts there's always Appa and team avatar flying to the sunset.
koutelis mc I think in season 2 of Kora all of the spirits of passed avatars where destroyed
Ikr, I wish that there was a continuation of the story and then they would somehow still exist
@@nothisispatrick6528 I think they just got separated, not destroyed, but idk
I wanna go fighting a shark with a shovel while falling out a plane with Morgan freeman narrating the battle...........oh and the shark is red too
Reddington Foxenton
NICE........
Reddington Foxenton pitch that idea to the makers of sharknado
Reddington Foxenton (slow clap) I have so much respect for you
Reddington Foxenton blood red! Also you would be like shovel knight.
I wanna go boxing with a t-rex dog on drugs
While on a boat in the middle of a desert with flying donuts
And the earth is a star
how did Appa's family tree continue being the only one left? I may just be missing something but I'm curious
During San Diego Comic-Con, it was revealed that Avatar Aang found a whole new herd of sky bison. The new subspecies has a few differences, for example: old bison had four transversed strips plus the last one, that lies at the end of the tail, whereas the new species has more strips that are thinner. The new bison also have brown fur on their ears instead of white. You may also notice that appa and the bison in the show have different tail markings
If the only differences were some superficial markings, that's pretty damn close to the original.
Though who is to say that THOSE bison weren't the original and the Nomad-cultivated herds were the genetic outliers, thanks to selective breeding?
Im a simple man.. if I see an Avatar video, I click. 😄 But for real I love these Avatar videos that you make keep up the great work. 😁 And to answer your question I'd like to die of old age, in my sleep if that's possible.. I don't know I just want to die as "peacefully" as possible if that makes sense.😄
Marci Sarosi Glad to meet ☺someone who uses emojis😊 like me 👍👍👍👍
Same for me.
Marci Sarosi anyone who uses this 😄emoji is no man!!!!
Also thats how i wanna die
i want die peacefully in old age under my own statue for doing nothing
That’s some killer sex
I want to die peacefully in old age under my own statue of enslaving the human race in the name of peace via nuclear hellfire... Just like Gandhi in Civ games... Nothing wrong with that right? *Right?*
Wow 30k subs. I love how much your audience has expanded. 950K and counting. Best content on RUclips.
Nah, aang & appa’s spirits were one fam, that’s all
Yup they were best friend like brothers
Did ravva kill aang? Aang was 66 and died untimely. Ravva knew it was almost time for the fight with vattu. Aang was a powerful fully realized avatar but like roku was slower in age. So ravva needed a younger more agile person..... like a water bender. So she has aang die and is reborn into the southern water tribe and has korra unlock 3 out of 4 elements to advance her avatar training. And by the time vattu is released korra would have the training, speed, and endurance to fight and win.
No, no no no no, this is very unlikely. You know why. Because the only reason vattu escaped was because korra's uncle what's his name (seriously what was his name again) got korra to open the spirit portals to release vattu. And while the portals opening was a good thing rava had no idea about them being opened in the future.
To summarise: Vattu only escaped because of the spirit portals being open because of korra's uncle getting her to open them.
LionWithAGun interesting
Caleb Heinis ravva would still be cautious tho. She's been alive for so long she would have time to think of the ways vattu could escape. Harmonic Convergence could break his cage or a spirit could do something, idk maybe someone tricking the avatar to help the spirits by opening a portal. And mind you ravva had been quiet for so long that not even the avatars knew she existed. Ravva couldn't really make a plan with aang let alone count on him to win with his age. So she took advantage of aangs request for the white lotus to train the new avatar upon discovery and had aang die in his sleep and hope the new avatar will be ready to fight should something happen and vattu were freed
Caleb Heinis I think his name was oonalong (no clue how to spell it lol). Good point though
zoomboomashz I remember
Unulak it was.
Appa died because aang died and he got sad and let himself pass away to be with aang. My grandmothers dog did the same when we lost her we tried everything to cheer her up but she wouldn’t eat and just let herself go.
hey there, a question i had in mind for a while is how the avatar airbender tattoos work... they are not a part of his body from birth, but they glow when entering the avatar state. any other avatar stated avatar just get glowing eyes. i think it would make a nice video
It is because the tattoo go along the chi paths of an airbender. So let's say if Roku or Korra both got those tattoos it will also glow up. תומר פורת
greekgodst Yes that would be correct, they would have the tattoo's glow. But of course they wouldn't get any because they weren't of airbender heritage.
תומר פורת I remember it being something about his chakra points or whatever.
I think it exposes his chakra points to open air, something only a Master air bender could handle.
Caleb Heinis they still can get airbender tattoos. Just as long if they are airbenders and they are willing to do so. In the legend of korra, when random people that dont even have airbender blood got airbending because of harmonic convergence, they still trained to become air and got tattoos.
Can you do a review on Avatar the Last Airbender graphic novels: The Promise, The Search, The Rift, Smoke and Shadow, North and South (in separate videos, one for each graphic novel)
Will there be any more of these graphic novels?
Michael Zhang ye
I’d like to think when a avatar dies their animal just softly and quietly breathes their last breath then joins their aviatar in the spirit realm
No heat break
No physical pain too them
Just slips off with them

Peacefully and quickly so my family doesn't have to suffer while I slowly pass.
"Human sacrifice?"
"Uhhh nah"
"Sacrifice your sister?"
"Uhh yeah they're not human anyways"
I want to see team avatar as adults. As kids they were such an effective and powerful team. Imagine what could be depicted after years of teamwork and friendship.
"How would you like to die?"
...was that a genuine question or a death threat?! Because I don't really know.
i thought i'm the only one who's surprised by that question...
I was looking for the Momo : Am I a joke to you? Comment xD
What happened to momo did he live?
Maybe he isn't dead, they just released him into the wild to be with his kind.
No, he died The same year
He died with aang and appa
Nah bruh
I think appa died before aang
But he could not stand to be without Ang and in appa alone there was a flashback that was an saying "I guess this means we will always be together" so I think they died together
I wanted more naga and Korra bonding scenes because the part in atla where appa and aang had been separated took a devastating toll on both of them
Even the scene where Korra was taking her first few steps towards naga could have been more emotional
She even left naga behind for like 7 months or more wheb she was supposed to go back to republic city and when they reunited it was like 1 big hug and that was it, clearly they didn't have the same connection
I would die, in a battle where I save nation, riding a dinosaur into certain death against a whole army, where I win, but then die of wounds, and am mourned by said raptor, my family, my descendants, and my idols, while Morgan freeman and Sam Elliot narrative a documentary about me, which is then turned into a movie, where I am played by Chris Pratt. I'm simple that way ;-p
Raptorus77 lol
So pretty much in a real life version of ark? 😂😂😂
Raptorus77 I would die and at my fueneral the Glee cast would sing for me.
Knowing that Appa most likely saw his kind before he went off with Aang makes me so 🥺🥺🥺
We all need more Mishka in our lives (maybe a little bit of you) so please. START POSTING MORE OFTEN
JayTee Vlogs he can't because he needs to do research for his next video

Man you’re over 600k now watching that intro celebrating 30k seems so small, congrats love your world building videos
Appa either died of old age or of a broken heart
Momo probably died of old age.
“It was a untimely death” the man was frozen for a 100 years, lucky he lived pass his prime
Damn 30K huh? Now you’re almost at a million!
Mishka, great supreme ruler, greatest among all, I was a loyal follower before 10k. Please tell your servant Tim that this was a great video.
For all those wondering:
Aang apparently died at 162 years old. He would have lived longer but remember for the past 100 years, Aang lived in a iceberg, while he was in the iceberg, that drained his energy and growth, so he technically died at 62. But in reality he was 162.
After the Fire Nation's massacare of the Air Nomads, how many sky bison were left? I don't remember seeing any others in TLAB, but by TLK there seems to be a good-sized heard. Apa must have found at least one sky-bison cow.
Sokka 2.0: Bolin
Aang 2.0: Korra
Katara 2.0: Mako
Zuko 2.0: Iroh
Toph 2.0: Beifung (Toph's Daughter)
Team Avatar is back!
MemeStar TEAM AVATAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"How would u like to die"
Me: quick and painless😂
I mean given the level of technology in Avatar being less than our own, 66 is a pretty decent lifespan. Maybe being the Avatar and very physically fit you'd think Aang would have lived longer, especially with access to waterbending healing from Katara, but his death really wasn't that untimely.
I'd like to have my consciousness uploaded digitally, simultaneously killing me and making me immortal.
What is dead can never die!
I want to die by being crushed by pugs because at least the last thing I see are derpy pug faces
The funny thing is Appa was supposed to be a polar bear dog like Naga when they were spitballing the concept art for the show but they changed him to a flying bison so he would be fit with Aang as an air nomad. The genocide and Aangs death was tough to watch but I don’t even want to think about how Appa passed
Fang died with Roku? He could've saved the guy instead
