And that's my point, there's no reason to explore who Aang's parents might be because the Nomads themselves wouldn't know (so it would be pointless to try to guess, as there will never be anything close to confirmation) and in-world there has never been any indication that the Avatar's mortal lineage is at all important (we never hear about "Avatar X, great-grandson of Important Person Y" or anything), they're important because they are the Avatar, and anyone can be born the Avatar (provided, of course, they're born in the next Nation in the cycle after the previous Avatar dies, which isn't publicized for international safety reasons until the new Avatar is ready to start Avataring).

      Well, I think it's clear they are going for the severe PTSD route, aka FEAR. I mean, in the live action, Katara SAW her mother die. Burned ALIVE. And in a lot of scenes she chokes up before or mid attack because of her genuine fear. I'm sure later on it may turn to anger but how I saw it play out, it looks like her arc may involve her overcoming her fear rather than her rage. Which I think is good as well, at least for THIS interpretation of the story and characters

    I know people tend to give Aang a really hard time with his fatherhood, but given how he was raised, in a communal sort of way, where there isn't much of a focus on traditional family structure....It makes sense that he'd be a flawed parent. He absolutely loved his children, and would die defending ANY of them. But him favoring Tenzin is in line with his obsession with tradition and having a hard time before finally accepting change. He and his mentor Roku are similar in that regard; both Roku and Aang feared change just in different ways. Whereas Roku was afraid of the unknown, Aang was afraid of letting go of the past, afraid of moving on and what sort of change THAT meant.

      On top of having to clean up the mess after the 100-year war, Aang was busy with all the politics going on with all the three nations. Then after having two kids who aren't airbenders imagine his excitement when his third child finally comes out to be an airbender. And he's no longer the only airbender in the world. All while still not making his other two kids feel less than.
      Aang had an impossible mission later in front of him. He was never going to be a perfect father. And has other two kids know that he did his best and they all still found success.

      @@fattygamer94 I really hate that the fandom tends to make Aang out to be like Ozai or Toph's parents when that's just not the case. Aang wasn't emotionally abusive or emotionally neglectful. When he was around, he was supportive. He supported Kya coming out. He was proud of what Bumi had achieved. I think if anything, his kids put this world of pressure on themselves, which then turns into projection onto Aang and his status as Avatar.
      It really makes me wonder what being the Avatar's kid would be like. I bet Roku would've been a great dad to Rina. I really hope his books retcon the incredibly bad math Bryke did with making Roku Zuko's great grandfather vs several greats down the line. It would imply that Roku had Rina at like 70 then died leaving Ta Min to raise her alone. Plus it puts Ta Min having her well past 50 when your reproductive system quite literally shuts down.
      We know that Kyoshi was one of the first recent cycle of Avatars to have descendants as well; her daughter Koko had to feel like the safest child on the planet lol.

    • @Spooglecraft
      @Spooglecraft 10 месяцев назад +9

      @@VenusVenom369 i might be wrong here, but afaik the process of introducing last names to a culture from within didn't generally go "we give each family a name" but more like "you're john and you work as a blacksmith, so now you're john smith"; last names often being lifted from the job or role a person had. and, especially in more tribal societies, jobs would tend to be passed down to ones children, so the son of john smith, jack, would also learn to become a blacksmith and thereby get the last name smith, and thus, last names tended to stick with families.
      some last names would also be related to nobility, as in, to signify belonging to a noble house. in some societies, this form of last name predates the common folk having last names.
      on another note of last names, some cultures, for example nordic ones, use a patronymic system, where the child would get the name of a parent + son/daughter, literally signifying whose kid they were. so, jack wouldn't become jack smith, but instead jack johnson.
      generally speaking, changes like this, especially if they come from within a society, don't happen like "we need to roll out this change across our society in this way", but way more gradual. immediate change is usually related to external influences, one example being the freeing of the slaves. as they didn't have last names, they were given the first name of their former master as a last name. so, if you encounter someone whose last name is a first name, they might be descended from slaves.
      now, whether the northern water tribe had last names, that's hard to tell. the royal family doesn't seem to have a last name, at least it was never mentioned. given the general origins of last names, that makes it somewhat unlikely for anyone to have a last name in the way we think about it. but, as we see the royal characters being referred to by their titles with their names, i think it's reasonable to assume that at least some members of the tribe might be referred to by their jobs. so, for example, there might be two johns, but one is john the fisher and another is john the smith. they don't have last names, but are still distinguished by mentioning their job with their name.

  • @Im_Not_Austrian

    The Air Nomads were travelers by nature, and the four temples were only inhabited by the younglings still in training and a council of elders. Each temple was also inhabited exclusively by one gender. East and West was females-only, while North and South was males-only. That is pretty much all we know.
    So I guess Air Nomads meet each other while traveling the world and that's how new children are born. And then I guess that the Air Nomads leave their children at the nearest temple, based on gender, to be raised by the elders while they travel the world. Not entirely sure how two Air Nomads meet and procreate, nor why it seems like the children never meet their parents. Guess that's just a culture-thing.

From the show, we can already see how quick news of the sky bison/the avatar spreads, Kyoshi island episodes is case in point. Rumours fly pretty fast and far.

      @DorkyWolf 10 месяцев назад +8

      True, but if you read The Chronicles of the Avatar series, then you would find out that the monks and nuns would sometimes have children with each other, which means that Aang obviously knows that his parents existed within one of the air temples, while he was raised in the temple that only had monks. Implying that one or both of his parents agreed to leave him at the temple with only the monks to be trained. In one of Kyoshi's books it was mentioned that there's an air temple that houses only nuns. So my theory is that Aang was born in one of the other 2 temples that is mixed with both monks and nuns, then he was taken to the temple that housed only monks to be raised and trained until he hit a certain age, then he'd be able to travel and potentially even meet his parents.

      2 other people already mentioned how Air Nomads were all Airbenders, so I would like to bring up how Kyoshi mentions in one of her books that there was/is an air temple that houses only nuns, so I think after Aang was born, his parents placed him in the care of monks at a temple that only houses monks. And that the 2 other air temples had both monks and nuns (as seen with Yangchen she was raised in a temple that had both nuns and monks). So, when Aang hit a certain age, he would travel and maybe came across his parents whilst on his travels.

    It's possible that while his parents were part of the Air Nomads, they weren't necessarily Airbenders, we don't know for sure if the concept of Air Acolytes was only introduced in the comics following the series and that weren't any before the Airbenders were wiped out.

    I got this strange urge to explore what it would be like to an air bending family that ditches the nomadic lifestyle and settles in a city, or on a farm somewhere... also, another scenario: what it would be like to be raised as a non bender in an air temple, becaus I could totally see air nomads taking in orphans...

    Something that would be interesting is if all the new Airbenders from harmonic convergence come from Airbender blood lines. Like if the remaining air nomads took refuge in other nations and gave up air bending and then had kids, those kids would would be non-benders but still have air nomad blood, and then harmonic convergence kinda "awoke" their dormant air bending abilities

    I imagine the nomadic air peoples were by far the most likely to have kids with people that didn't bend their element. Then while the adults roamed, the children were raised and taught at the nearest correct temple by the elders of the community.

    You actually did get one thing slightly wrong, when it comes to the air nomad temples, the children remain with the nuns, as the nuns are the ones that birthed them, until roughly the age of I think eight or until they bond with their bison. As we do seeing with the nuns when he bonds with Appa, so it's very possible that the boys will stay with the nuns until they reach a certain age then they go to the respective temples

    I'm pretty sure Zuko of all people brings this up and like the second episode of season one of the animated show when he says you would know nothing of fathers being raised by monks when capturing Aang, so I guess that answers the question he was raised by monks not his parents from a young age, once he was born he must've been taken to the temples, like the two air temples he mentions the most are the north and south air temples so maybe he was born in the north temple by his parents because I think the northern air temple is where the woman lived so maybe she gave birth to him and then he was taken to the southern temple where his father was and got raised by the monks there or maybe he was born in the eastern or Western Temple that had both men and women who knows but I'm pretty sure like I said it was mentioned in the first episode by Zuko, and kind of a main way where he says you would know nothing of fathers being raised by monks, but that's what we get of what happened I guess, that kind of answers the question and so that's probably why a lot of us never really thought about it because it gets answered and like the second episode of the show so there's your answer and you're just made not to really think about it anymore after that it's like oh yeah he was born and then got brought up by the monks probably when they found out he was the avatar and then made friends with all the young kids, one of the biggest mistakes I saw in the first episode of the live action was that there were woman in the southern air temple which is wrong because there was only supposed to be men the northern temple I think is where the woman were so the fact that they blended it was a mistake but then I guess also explains the whole parent thing better like maybe one of those people was his mum, but either way we know what happened to them he was raised by monks and then all the monks died when all the Airbender got killed in the genocide except for Aang and that might've fled, depending on how you feel about Tilly and her heritage.

    To help explain why last names aren't common, historically there were two reasons surnames came about; importance, powerful people often wanted some name to track their connection to other powerful people; and movement. The biggest boom in last names often come from periods where commoners were somewhat forced to move from their homes to new places; in the UK that was the plague and labour shortages in villages.
    Sokka and Katara likely didn't have last names simply because it wasn't normal for them to move from their village, so their village never had a reason to develop a practise of giving surnames; if you ever needed to clarify it would be Sokka, Hakoda's son. Because how many Hakoda's in the village would also have a son named Sokka?

    Honestly, i'm kind of upset that they did the whole "Harmonic convergence creates new air benders" thing, and the "Kick the Mechanist and his people out of the air temple" thing.
    At the end of Last Airbender, i really thought that the Mechanist's people were going to eventually become a new breed of airbenders due to their embracing of the Temple alongside their own ways. They had invented flying machines based on airbender design, and incorporated air-nomad ideas into their own culture.
    Not to mention you also have the Air Acolytes, non-benders who have fully embraced Air-nomad ideals in their own way as well. Given enough time, i could easily see both of these cultures birthing actual airbenders of their own.
    Aang could sire whole generations of new airbenders by blood. But both the Mechanist's people and the Air Acolytes i feel could have spontaneously birthed airbenders further down the line, similar to what could have happened with the swampbenders.
    But nah, lets just scrub both of those interesting ideas off the table and make a big explosion that turns a bunch of non-benders into airbenders. That's totally better >_>

    Azulan wanted Iroh to be the fire lord since Iroh is the older brother. But after Iroh lost his son, he gave up on any aspirations of leadership. Ozai made a comment to his father about Iroh, and azulan took offense to it. That's when Ozai made a deal with his wife to spare Zuko if she killed his father.

    I don't know if this is accurate, but I remember hearing that once a year, the male and female air benders come together in a ceromony, which is where the baby air benders come from. So Aang parents probably only met for one night, and after they "created" Aang, they never saw him or each other again. But I like the idea of Gyatso being Aang's grandfather.

    I always assumed that the detached philosophy of the air nomads precluded families, and so children were separated from their parents. I also assumed that, being nomads, their population just grew by virtue of... travel.
    But in the case of Aang, even besides the circumstances he's in, he's also not just an airbender. Being the very avatar of four elements required him embodying those elements, and the same would make sense for culture; if Aang is going to be a mediator between cultures, it's for the best he imbibes those cultures, and doesn't prioritize his own.

    My theory is that the temples are only for benders. I always thought it odd that everyone in the air nation is a bender, while we see both benders and non-benders in the other 3 nations. So the temples are where all benders are sent for training and the rest of the air nation live in regular villages that probably surround the temples on the ground. How else do they have agriculture or anything else these people need that obviously cannot be done at these hard to get to, weirdly set up temples. (this may have been addressed in other materials but I've only seen the cartoon series and the live action series.)
