Fun fact : The final water bending move Aang does at the end of the series is “pushing and pulling the water” - which is also the first ever move he learnt from Katara.
And remember all the other avatars had years and years to master all 4 elements. They were taught more or less by actual masters. Aang had a summer to learn all 4 elements and he was taught by 3 teenagers.
@@tyronmaye Korra didn't master them. She could make spurts of fire come out and move small rocks and such but she didn't master them. Theres a difference between knowing how do basic moves and mastering the element as a whole. It took her years and years. She mastered 3/4 of the elements at 16 and it took her a really long time to master air. That happened a while later. Aang mastered the elements at 12.
I feel Korra should be higher on the list. She learned Aang's Energy bending that could take away and give back a person's bending, learned spiritual bending to defeat Unavatu without Rava, brought humans and spirits together, put her life on the line for the new air nomads, and deflected a raw energy blast from a spirit cannon and created a 3rd portal into the spirit world. She was also the first Avatar to master metal bending.
@@N.G.H. Korra did do alot for the world but I don't think she could've beat the avatars ranked above her. They might have not gone through some of the bigger battles Korra went through but they were more experienced. Korra also never learned to energy bend. Aang gave her that power. She also had MANY experienced benders and friends helping her along the way. The other avatars did everything more or less by themselves. (excluding Aang of course) Korra was never alone. She had very talented masters, and peers always fighting alongside her. Avatar Korok, for example, fought dangerous spirits to save the physical world by himself. Could Korra be as powerful as she is now without having Aang who gave her the power to energy bend or without having the masters to teach her, or her friends that taught her so much? Could she have learned to metal bend without Suyin? The generation that Korra was born in was ALOT more developed than any other avatars generation and this gave Korra ALOT of advantages. So much was just handed to her in terms of honing her skill. And could Korra beat Kyoshi or Aang? Just comparing their bending skills and fighting ability alone, I think its highly unlikely. But it's probable she could beat the other avatars if she tried hard enough.
Finally some appreciation for Kuruk as he's in the top 3. I do believe he wasn't a bad Avatar after all what happened. Perhaps most people who said he was bad, they just misunderstood him
@@vegitoblue2187 no he is same as yangchen. She totally focused on physical world and he spent his total life time protecting humanity from dark spirts by hunting them.
@@sathvicsriram2279 is he? I mean he was avatar in a relatively peaceful era and just used it to impress people from what I saw in the show. Anything I am missing?
@@vegitoblue2187 it's peaceful because Avatar kuruk hunts the dark spirit secretly, even his Avatar team doesn't know he hunts the dark spirit. I'm pretty sure only his spiritual mentor knew about this.
Avatar Wan literally combated the forces of Darkness and won. With such minimal experience and no prior life wisdom. He deserves to be higher on the list.
@@NawafmilfiYou couldn't be more wrong because Avatar Wan is a very powerful and skilled avatar. Since he became the first avatar ever, combining with the spirit of light, Rava, and beginning the Avatar Cycle almost 10,000 years prior to Avatar Aang. So he's a really important avatar, also Avatar Wan didn't have the knowledge or wisdom of past avatars unlike all of the avatars that succeeded him. So it's phenomenal how much Wan was able to accomplish without any past knowledge or wisdom. He may not be the most powerful avatar but he is by no means a pushover. So you should give Avatar Wan a lot more credit and respect, which he rightfully deserves, without Wan there would be no avatar period.
Korra is underrated. I would definitely put her in the top 3. Her power and kind of bending is truly strong. Also she was the first ever Avatar who bended Metall. She lost to Amon first, but beated him only with the airbending. This was a thing she learned 2 seconds ago. And then 4 seconds later... Amon was beaten. Thats incredible and she did things that are never done by an Avatar before her. Also she was even to bend 3 Elements with like 4/5 years. Aang only noticed that he has more than 1 Element where he was 11. And Korra didn't even had a Master to learn with. She only had the Water Nation and she learned 2 Elements alone. I think she is one of the strongest Avatars and surely in the top 3.
She’s top 1 she literally bend nuke spirit energy & turn it into a spirit portal the great know feat for an avatar to do without past knowledge or lives
Korra and Aang might be some of the strongest Avatars, but they were also technically the worst too. They were rush jobs. Aang had to learn to bend every element in less than a year, while traveling the world to avoid his pursuers, meaning that he never got to immerse himself in the other nations' cultures and politics like Avatars before him did before they started their duty. He had to learn while fixing the post-war world. Meanwhile Korra was isolated and never got to see the world, allowing her ego to inflate and her people skills to be nonexistent
well i think aang had some understanding of other cultures and politics.for he had took part in harmony restoration movement and even helped build republic city.
@@midsquash1613 yes, but he learned that as he did it. He went into the project oblivious and had to play catch up before the Earth Kingdom started a war
Korra is better No aang is better Guys obviously kuruk is the best What kurruk died in early age so yang cheng is way better Stop it , wan literally the first avatar so he has all the power he needs No . To consider the best avatar is by their avatar state . The avatar state will go stronger depends by how many avatar is there, so obviously aang is the best bc korra lose he past life Well Roku can learn all four elements with no problem so he the beat avatar Guy guys guys . Obviously kyoshi is the best . She could lavabend and glassbend . Korra only can metalbend ( Help me )
I would argue that Avatar Wan is the strongest for a few reasons. 1) Avatar Wan started the Avatar cycle. This shows strength simply through intelligence and courage. Wan had no idea how to even bend, managed to convince a Lion Turtle to let him retain his power and roam free. He was able to merge with the Spirit of Light, master the other 3 elements, and then fought, beat, and trapped the Spirit of Darkness. 2) Wan had a very deep spiritual connection. It's understandable seeing that he lived with Spirits unlike Aang, and the former half of Korra. He was able to befriend the spirits; again, he was also able to convince Raava to merge with him (although they didn't really have any other choices). This is spiritual strength, and emotional prowess. To befriend spirits we have already seen that people need to keep their emotions in check. 3) Avatar Wan defeated the spirit of Darkness, and fought in many different armies (as seen at the end) without any extra assistance from any super powerful benders (given the fact that bending was new to everyone). He didn't have other Avatars to guide him, he didn't have any true friends (it seems) to motivate him. He fought for peace largely by himself. Again another example of confidence, courage, and a great deal of emotional strength, and raw power to fight for so long; I mean he was old at the end (probably just the stress of it all though). I can definitely get behind the argument that every avatar should be stronger than the last given that they have all of the previous Avatar's power, but as Avatar, Roku, Korra, and Kuruk have shown us, that isn't always the case. Strength is something you have to invest in, even as the Avatar. But again, I would argue that not having that access and still succeeding makes you strong (in Wan's case). Also, I wouldn't say that energy bending makes you inherently strong. As far as we've seen, energy bending can grant or take away bending, and manipulate spirit energy. But for generations avatars have kept the peace without it. It's not like it changed the game all that much, because of it's limited uses. I'm not sure I would say any Avatar is stronger than Wan. Unless we are defining strength as pure bending skill, and ability, then I say this list is definitely wrong.
I feel like the only bender that can compete with Wan is Aang. And the justification given in the video feels like a bit of a cop out ("his real strength was his strength of will"). What possibly sets Aang apart is how quickly he learned, as well as how he mastered energy bending. But the speed of learning is not really relevant to how powerful he is in the moment. And Energy bending is basically useless in a fight (it's just used to make an opponent useless after the battle is already settled through other means, to avoid killing them). Wan after merging basically effortlessly imprisoned Vaatu like it was a morning routine or something. Which is a feat I don't think any other avatar can eclipse. Even Aang in the avatar state had to build up an arsenal (the bubble thing with all the elements around him) first and use it to launch attacks at Ozai. Wan literally just snapped his fingers and Vaatu was imprisoned.
@@sagestation7831 If anything I feel like TLOK did Aang a massive disservice, and considering the base foundation of his character after TLAB he should be way stronger during Korra's time. Sure Aang was a pacifist and not really interested in fighting, but he did love bending and working on his skills. As it stands, "peak Aang" is basically his Ozai fight. You might say he pulled off energy bending a bit more effortlessly during his old age, but it could also be argued that's because his opponent had a much weaker spirit than Ozai. If Aang had continued to capitalize on his extreme talent into his old age, then he might have eclipsed Wan.
Factually speaking I'd have to say Aang was the strongest Avatar. This is because Roku said the Avatar State focuses the energy of Raava and all of the previous Avatars through the current Avatar's body when activated, meaning that the more Avatars that there are before the previous one the more energy and power they receive when in the Avatar State which is when they're at their most powerful. I would've said Korra, but she lost her connection with her past lives meaning she also lost access to their power and energy. So now she only has access to Raava's power like Wan originally did.
@@documentaryclips-g3s please remember the atla he was only 12 and he defeated the strongest fire bender. He had to master all bending in a year. Also everything in atla happens in a year of course we only see him defeat 1 enemy(he did defeat the father of amok in tlok too in a day).
I believe that Korra and Aang are easily at the top because if you take the events from book 4 they would be the only ones able to energy bend Kuviras spirit vines and create a portal. The other avatars like Kyoshi and Roku would not be able to stop her creation by coming out complete
@@octaneblue6 Most avatar would have won against Vaatu in their avatar state. But Unalok was the wild card in the case of Korra. Korra is strong by her own right but wasn't spiritually strong enough that caused Vaatu to strip her of Rava. Luckily she quickly found her spirituality and was able to face Vaatu.
Amazing how Aang's fans put him on a huge pedestal and brag about him, and the other Avatars? Korra? They didn't exist, did they? She didn't turn the world, did she? Okay
I like all the Avatars because each of them had their own strengths, weaknesses and accomplishments, but I agree that Aang is often put on a pedestal as a bender and an Avatar, when in my opinion there isn't a "better Avatar". Aang as a character might be underrated (I think it's because the others are perhaps more relatable and the viewers tend to like someone they can identify in more), but yes, as an Avatar I think he is a bit overrated. He was still incredible, of course, but the all the other Avatars are awesome. Sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker
@@elisasanguinetti5639 Tbh tho, I think Aang as a character is overrated too. People think that he's flawless at times whenever ridiculing Korra, despite the fact that he had a lot of mistakes too
@@WinterCrystal1009 I think that he is underrated because few people have him as their favourite character compared to Zuko, Sokka, Toph and Katara. But yes, sometimes viewers tend to ignore his flaws and mistakes and hold Korra's against her. I'm not a huge fan of Korra, but she had great character development in the last 2 seasons, and Aang has done some mistakes that people seem to ignore, like when he was jealous of Sokka and Katara's attention to their dad's friend and threw away a map he had to preserve because he thought they would go to find their father. That shows he has flaws as much as everybody else
I will never get over the fact that the connection to the past avatars are gone. I just can‘t fathom why this was necessary. It literally brought nothing to the story. It‘s just a huge loss
then you didn't listen at all. The entirety of season 3 was about korra learning on how to solve problems without contacting aang or any other past lives which play a huge role in the story
Wrong thumbnail, putting wan in worst avatar’s side🤷🏻♂️. He’s the one who started the cycle, mastered all the 4 elements without any teachers/masters just by himself… It’s ok to put him at 7th best but the thumbnail is very wrong…
Imagine being the strongest firebender in the world, and getting defeated by a 12 year old kid who had only 6 months of training , who is a pacifist and didn't wanted to fight u in the first place
extremely humiliating.. but worse for Azula: it got defeated by a waterbending master, despite attempting to strike the latter in order to cheat its way to an Agni Kai win..
Gotta remember that wan had no human masters to teach him he had the dragons to help him master fire and the rest of the elements he had to master by himself he created the dragon dance the elemental ball and had no past live and he defeated vaatu by himself wan deserves a lot of credit idk why people think he's weak.
@Sunday Girl he may be 7th, but that's out of over a thousand other Avatars. He was the weakest of those 7 simply because he had to invent the bending arts ....Roku stopped and started a volcanic eruption. That's something, right?
Yeah but Wan is the one who brought chaos in the first place by disturbing the Rava & Vetu. Also Korra lost her connection/knowledge of previous avatars in season 2, which isn’t same, but if it weren’t for Wan there would be no need for the avatar since he ruined the order of things
In my opinion, Kyoshi was physically the strongest avatar. And apparently, she was able to extend her life through earth bending in the novels? But nevertheless, she casually split *THE EARTH’S TECTONIC PLATES AND SENT HER OWN ISLAND HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY FROM THE MAINLAND.* And if her ability to bend the other elements are relative to her earth bending, she’s clearly the strongest bender to ever exist, also while being the biggest in stature; lady was like 7ft+ tall?? 😂🤣🤣
People keep saying that Aang only beat the firelord because of the avatar state, but remember he could've killed him when he redirected his lightning, so technically if it weren't for his pacifist nature he could've beaten ozai without the avatar state (although I still think Kyoshi is the strongest avatar from what we've seen so far)
Yep, but zuko and aang did it at their first try, it's clearly not a difficult technique, so that win wouldn't have mean power or technique, he just happened to have the knowledge.
@@unapersonav1522 I rather think they were able to do it because Zuko and Aang are two of the most powerful benders of their era, redirecting lightning probably isn't something any Soldier can learn
@@Bastype In korra's industrial revolution we see that lightning bending became something way more usual, probably not as icebending is for waterbenders,but it's seen enough to be energy sources for probably tons of factories, Lighting redirection being an extension of Lightning generation, it's probably a very known technique. But those are just assumptions, your point is more sustained. And don't get me wrong, aang was a brilliant kid, and I'm sure lots of avatars couldn't in his place.
The fact that kyoshi lived for 200+ years and mastered the elements and there was no war at her era because she was just THE STRONGEST there was a problem in earth kingdom then she just goes there and solved it perfectly and made dai lee , she also separated the whole island into 2 parts with her earth and lava bending and moves it to sea with ear bending 😳
exactly! her powers were too strong that she even had to use fans to concentrate them 😳 we all know she's strong but the books do her even more justice, i wish more people read it
@@incog38294 In the show, he was 12. Kyoshi was much more older then aang. Imagine being in 7th grade and the world is depending on you, we didnt even see aang in his prime or older ages.
Y’all can say whatever about Aang but the kid took on so many pressures of the world as well as the history of the avatar world, he had a short time frame to learn and master new skills, lost all his people, and still stayed true to himself. Not to mention he was a nice guy, memesy and still made the most of everything no matter how bad the circumstance.
Finally someone thinking like me I have read the Kyoshi novels and it’s crazy how the fandom always think that Kyoshi is horrible a heartless person while well that’s really not the case
The Last Airbender was one of the most beautiful animated series I've ever watched. It was well thought out, and to this day remains loved by everyone that watched it.
100%. The lore is complex and rich, and the character development, enticing dialogue, and overall great animation makes it one of the best series I have personally watched.
Sadly as a kid I never watched avatar. I picked it up this week and binged watched all 3 seasons and I'm already diving into lore. It just goes to show how amazing this series is to have wrapped me into it so fast. I felt so empty after the final episode wishing it could go on. I plan to watch Korra after Im ready
Well this isn't entirely correct he didn't master the elements he just learned them after the 100 year war he still had to master earth and fire especially earth took him a very long time to master. It's like saying Korra mastered 3 elements as a little kid, she didn't she just learned them. Tbh he wasn't the one beating Ozai it was the avatar state and the past avatars taking over
@@justin-dr6fl no he mastered avatar state by then so it was Aang bending then in the late stages everyone took over and almost killed Aang but he easily stopped it
Imagine how Ozai felt being the strongest fire bender alive and still getting beaten by twelve year old vegan Caillou who didn’t even want to fight in the first place on the day where fire benders are the most powerful
@Vicki Zhang korra now is like wan, bc raava and the avatar state still extinting ( idk if the grammar is okay sorry xd) but she doesn't have contact with his past lifes
@Vicki Zhang The Avatar cycle still running, but sadly the Avatar after Korra can't see his/her past life before Korra which is make Korra the first Avatar after 10.000 years
@@jeremiahtiomico3755 roku is the only avatar we’ve seen to bend all four elements at once without avatar state, he also beat a whole volcano as an old man. He’s clearly the strongest
Something that I legit always loved about avatar is that while an avatar achieves many great things in their lifetime, they always end off with some sort of big regret that the next avatar has to resolve. Roku's action of sparring sozin lead to the 100 year war and he died with regret that he couldn't stop sozin. Aang suffered from that action and loss the air nomads and had to end that 100 year war while never truly being able to rebuild the air nation. Korra's action of creating more actual balance with the spiritual side of the world lead to more of an actual balance with the elements, making reviving the air nation possible and fulfilling aang's biggest regret. However the actual actions to create that balance lead to Korra losing direct connection with her past lives, a major burden that the next avatar will have to resolve and obviously the big regret korra has from the journey as the avatar.
I don't understand how Wan is weakest avatar. The reasons that was shown for him being the weakest avatar are exactly why I think he's stronger than most of them Edit: Spelling mistakes
Just because he’s at the bottom of the list doesn’t necessarily equate to him being ‘weak’. It solely means that there are stronger Avatars toward the future.
because of how the avatar state works, every avatar is stronger than the last it's like asking "who's the strongest user of One for All?" and answering the very first user who had the absolute weakest form of One for All
@@drewlaw2192 yes, but her techniques close the gaps and make her stronger than Wan but out of all the Avatars we've seen Korra is second weakest with Wan being weakest
Wan and Korra have something in common They both in the beginning they were so into themselves even though also wanting to help the world they had to go through what they did so that they could be wise enough to take on the harder challenges And both Wan and Korra had no help but from the spirit itself
People tend to hate korra bcs she is stubborn and impulsive, but i bet past avatars weren't that different neither plus she is a teenager still on first book.
@@aliabughazaleh5541 yea but she was restricted from the outside world which was challenging, Aang literally had freedom and Korra didn’t , Aang gave her bending back just like Roku helped Aang in many ways and gave him the resources he gotten , energy bending was given to Aang by a giant sea turtle
He was the first Avatar and he had to create and innovate various bending techniques without help from any bending master..... That's pretty cool to me
Frankly, I'd rank Avatar Wan significantly higher than many of the other Avatars. Sure, he doesn't have any of the previous Avatar's experience to draw on, however, he has the closest connection to Raava, and has tapped directly into the power of harmonic convergence. Not to mention, the forms of bending he performs seem significantly different to the modern forms of bending. It is likely he may have forgotten more than many of the modern avatars have ever learned. He flew on clouds rather than a Wind Orb or Wind Wheel. He actually moves fire, rather than just shoots and directs momentary jets of flames. He gained bending directly from each Lion Turtle by gaining their energy. There is still so much about Avatar Wan we haven't learnt. Just knowing he defeated Vaatu upon becoming the Avatar, without mastering the Avatar state. As an Avatar, none of the known Avatar lives up to his accomplishments.
Ya, Wan even if not the strongest avatar, should be the greatest avatar of all time followed by Aang. And he should be one of the most powerful too since he did train under a dragon on his fire bending. so we can assume he most likely learned his bending from the original masters.
How does this make him stronger, though? Kyoshi moved a *continent* (Landmass), and has the experience and can get the powers of previous avatars, as well.
@@MorriganAutumn um no the avatar state is not just a tool for battle, avatar were known to seek enlightenment, advise, peace (all the things one might need their past selves for)...the avatar state contributed to mold each one of these avatars after Wan
@@lukastace3154 Tenzin showed us that too to a degree as well. If Zaheer's friends hadn't been at the Northern Air Temple Tenzin would have won that fight. As it stands he still did really well against four very powerful opponents. Airbending unrestrained and on the offensive is quite powerful.
Yeahh i think she is a master of lava bending too coz i think when she knows that she is the avatar she already have earthbending so she can just improve it and tadaaa she can do lava bending
@Wilfredo Gregas yeah but lava bending wasn’t introduced until LOK, she just moved it with the other elements, like how you can move earth or water using air
Yes I am and forever will be an ATLA fan, just got to give prop where prop is due. Aang thus far is unmatched, at 12 years old he’s mastery level and saved the world. Shame we didn’t get to see older Aang do his thing but honestly. You got to give this man the top spot.
Avatar Wan has got to be the most skilled. He mastered all 4 elements with NO teacher, he had no power or guidance from past lives, yet still was able to defeat the arguably strongest dark spirit despite this. Avatar Yang Chen, despite all of her training, and past lives guiding her, couldn't defeat General Old Iron, but had to make a bargain.
Avatar Wan had not mastered teqniques invented in hundreds and maybe thousands years after him while latest avatars did. Despite some fluctuations are possible, I think in general later avatars will be more powerful than their predecessors. Avatars divided by tens of years and maybe couple of hundred years can compete, but if we talk on a half of thousand years, more modern avatar must be stronger just beacause new bending teqniques emerged.
Not sure the criteria here. Are we talking all avatars at their peak of strength in a ring facing each other? Or all avatars when they were young and their potential.
How come all these other Avatar's lived for so long yet Aang died so early? I just started to rewatch Korra so I don't remeber if they said something about that or not
Aang actually didn’t master Earth and Fire in the show. Aang had only mastered Air and Water. In the last episode when Aang said he wanted to wait after the Comet he said he needed time to master fire and Toph said his earth bending could use some work.
@nostalgia television That is actually a basic water-bending move called “pushing and pulling the water” which was the first water-bending move katara taught to aang.
I feel like Korra being born in the industrial world and losing all her past connections is more relatable in our world today. That we cut off our spirituality.
@@anonymousgaslighter345 yeah and earthbenders learned from mole rats. He was the first to go to its' source and actually learn it, not just inherit it
Just watching the entire TLA series again, for like the 10th time... Absolutely never fails to just amaze me with its humor, story telling and just all together artistry in every episode that it sets out to show the viewer. Perfection. Sometimes I question whether or not my unwaivering assurance that Batman: The Animated series is the best or Beast Wars when I see TLA... Perhaps I secretly know and don't want to admit that its superior...
Toph and Zuko literally tell him a couple episodes before the finale that he hadnt mastered Earth and Fire. The only reason he defeated the fire lord was because he lost control until the last second
I think Korra is too high.. her irrational like childish behavior was her downfall more often than not and a big reason why her connection to the avatar state was severed.. he fighting style was more about her emotions instead of just skill.. whenever she was flustered her skills completely went out the window
Korra was always skilled, honestly better than Aang at the physical side of bending and active combat, but as you said her emotional, naive and impulsive nature got in the way, but I think you missed that she learned, developed and started maturing along, especially after passing teenage, Korra was never childish for a teenage girl who was confined and coddled for her entire life then thrust to the outside world with major responsibilities, it's just that Aang was extraordinarily even freakishly wise and calm for a 12yr old boy, the open and less complex society and his era help him.Korra would have done a lot better if she was born in Kiyoshi era.
It's so impressive how many views Avatar generates and still took so long for Paramount to dedicate more resources and produce new entries to the universe.
I personally have mixed feelings on if they should, It could be great, or it could end up being a big flop. Though it would've been great to have a longer story of avatar Wan or Kyoshi, or many others, I doubt the creators would be invested enough and/or had the artistic freedom to make it amazing. As amazing as the last airbender was
I would have put Wan at 3rd at least cause he also learnt all the elements within a year and became the Avatar. He taught men to respect spirits later making men worship spirits and also maintaining balance in the spirit and the physical world
THANK YOU! YOU CAN'T PUT KORRA ON SUCH A HIGH PEDASTOOL WHEN SHE IS NO BETTER THAN ANY OTHER AVATAR. SHE IS PROBABY THE 2ND WEAKEST DUE TO HER LOSS OF THE CONNECTIONS
@@SonGoku-bn5di I would put her in the top three if not the 1st. she is not only stronger than almost every avatar with the exception of kyoshi but she has also brought about the biggest change and done her job well for the time she had and she is still in her prime. aang is also no better than any avatar but people still put him at 1 since he was the first one we see.
Avatar Wan will always be the best Avatar of all time, he created Avatar state on his own, gained bending powers directly from the original source and mastered every element with the spirit of light itself. One lifetime wasn't enough for him do and discover all the possible things in the world. Without Wan no Avatar would have existed.
All avatar are powerfull, people saying korra is weak etc need to stop comparing with aang, everyone is different and she is a human to who make mistakes
@@france20466lol im agree with this comment😅 do u ever watch avatar? or even watch the statement when aang into spirit world for meet kyoshi or roku says every avatar is unique coz they have their own character 😵💫so they not wan, except rava will be always rava, even rava being forgotten n be remember again in korra era's
Reincarnations are NOT original one, you must be western and not familiar with the concept of Reincarnations in the East, let's say Naruto, he was the reincarnation of Indra, but Naruto IS NOT Indra, think of it this way: Your father gave birth to you, your DNA is identical to him, you look like him, he raised you and your knowledge/values are align by him, but you ARE NOT your father. Reincarnations work the same, in buddhism ALL OF US are reincarnation of someone in the past and we are not that person
I think what he meant was it's all the same soul. Sure they were birth by different people and grew up in different times which more or less changed their personalities, their races, and their beliefs, but it's still the same soul.
To be fair, Avatar Wan learned all the bending arts from the spirits and original sources, just like Avatar Aang. All the strongest benders learnt the arts from the originators, so he's probably very strong.
And it is also through Wan's actions that the Lion Turtles chose to gave up their roles as the protector of human and instead made it as the Avatar's duty. And thus the avatar cycle was born through Wan.
The only thing I will forever be upset about is how Korra reserved what Wan started. Because she felt all humans and spirits should coexist. I understand why she wants but there was no balance, when they did. That’s why the avatar was the only one to be able to be in both world.
@@GrimmyTheGreatI don’t think she was necessarily wrong. Wan did what he thought was right. He was the first Avatar to interact with the spirits and have that choice. And the humans had no way to combat the spirits that were evil. Now way down the humans aren’t defenseless and more knowledge has been gained on the spirit world as a whole.
@@Williamjacob7789 Lets be honest, humans are very opportunistic its how our ancestors survived so many different climates and biomes in the world. We would probably dislike the spirits due to them being unnatural and pure superstition. Or we would exploit them.
Aang was compassionate, spiritual, wise, and incredibly proficient at bending. He valued life, peace, and demonstrated empathy. His guilt was the result of his acceptance of his responsibility, not wanting to let the people of the world down is what brought him back to his feet every time.
Its was only water that aang needed a little more work on but he mastered most of the elements and learn great techniques. He learned to redirect lightining and sense vibrations in the way that toph did.
@@Katharine-x5r Oh ya lol I thought you said he didn't master the elements. They didn't understand his true potential lol he learn the elements super quick.
@@elir6149 He learn ofc, but learn is different to master. All the full potential that we saw in Aang at the end of the series (I'm definitely not talking about how he progressed over time or whether he continued to focus as much on training as before, although possibly yes) that is, in the fight against Ozai , was seen. Even though he gave his all, most of the skills he used were from the avoidance martial arts of Air, Aang was clearly losing until he entered the Avatar state. _When the video says he mastered all the elements with 12, it was wrong information, my point in the comment._ (Sorry for my English n for long comment too)
Keep in mind that Aang never mastered fire or earth bending during ATLA. Zuko and Toph both said that he needed more training in those elements yet he defeated the fire lord
However, he *does* fully master the Avatar State since he was able to access it at will, meaning, when he can, he can instantly get full mastery of Fire and Earth temporarily. Not the same as mastering it without the Avatar State though.
i never knew kuruk was really protecting people from spirits rather than physical threats, they just made it seem like he was the more relaxed out of the avatars, i respect the fact that he's getting acknowledgement .....also had no idea how much of a G yangchen was lol
Honestly I think they're all amazing avatars and no one is better than the other because each Avatar had to learn from the past lives mistakes in order to make better choices. Except for Avatar Wan since he was the first but he was still amazing considering he locked Vaatu away for 10,000 years.
@@aryabintangkalea9406 it really isn't. Korra is not going berserk like aang. They have the same power level but since raava is stronger in Korra, this mean she has more raw power than aang but less skills
@@mark78129 well I guess that's true aang went beserk and didn't hold back while kora's could control her avatar state and hold back a little to not hurt the people around her
I dont really know if Aang is the strongest. He's definitely in the top 3. However, in all of the Avatar universe, He's probably the best characters. Perhaps not the strongest Avatar but the greatest Avatar. Because of who he was as a person. I also believe Wan was amazing and he and Raava's love and friendship was a great story. I wanted more of that than Korra and her world at times.
Aang beat the fire lord as a kid, he mastered all elements in 1 year and also invented his alternative solution to killing the fire lord instead he just takes his bending away
I feel like Korra should be higher up I mean she may have lost her connection to her past lives but she faces many trials even against the red lotus the strongest benders from every element. Whilst also being the first metal bending avatar sets her apart from the others
Didn't she also manage to find out the secret bending style that can decrease aging or something? Imagine if she could do the same sort of stuff on other people?
I'd say Korra should've been higher, she showed to be a true prodigy at such a young age and her use of the Avatar State against Vatuu before he fused with Unalaq was masterful in her part. The real thing she lacked is real world experience because she was sheltered away, this is a disadvantage on her part. The other Avatars ventured and gained unmatched wisdom and skills by learning to live with people from all over the world. On the other hand, she came to Republic City, a modernized metropolis, with no knowledge whatsoever. She's the only Avatar who didn't travel the world and in turn, a lot of things hindered her especially in fights and decision-makings. But this much shouldn't take much of her credit for saving the world from a lot of threats while being on the other side of the spectrum when it comes to dealing with them.
@@mianelson2005 I never really understood why she was able to do firebending, waterbending, and earthbending at such a young age even though she wasn't trained.
Wan is brillaint and powerfull avatar.... He learned bending without any human masters... All though aang has learned energy bending, without wan there is no aang ,kyoshi or a single avatar
I think the only reason he is "weak" is because he doesn't have the wisdom other avatar's had to know his full potential and keep in mind the people of his time probably has some or lots of lost bending ability such as flight.
@@RainMoontide she created a whole portal and brought peace amongst spirits and humans (mostly on the comics) without their help Actually, she didn't get much help from her past lives when she was still connected to them
Considering that avatar Wan lived 10000 years before avatar Korra, it means that more or less there must have been only 100 avatars. Because from the avatar's lives we know, we can see that there is Kyoshi who lived 230 years and Aang who lived 166 years while there is Kuruk who lived only 33 years. So we can assume that more or less the average life span of the avatar is 100 years, therefore there were only 100 avatars.
Remember Tokunbo said to Jeong Jeong? “I have mastered the elements 1000 times in 1000 life times”( including him). Therefor Aang is the 1001st and korra is 1002
@@davidagbesi8222 not really, will you believe an avatar who is speaking and has no knowledge about how many avatars there are and he is making a figure of speech and a huge exaggeration or a flash back, 10000 years ago that shows us how the first avatar became the avatar.
@@mark78129 well there is really no way to tell. He could have been telling the truth or like you said it could be a figure of speech. It just makes way for many theories.
@@davidagbesi8222 it is literally clear that korra is the 183 avatars. When we saw the avatars in the temple they had to be more than a 100. There are 183 avatars
You ommitted Szeto and Salai from the list. Also imagine thinking Aang is more powerful than Kyoshi. She displayed the most incredible bending feats of any Avatar. Perervered through an incredibly troubled childhood that rivals if not outright beats aangs. Had no weakness in any of the bending disaplines, even air which should have been a natural weakness. Lived for over 2 centuries and that's without freezing herself for 100 years.
I would call Wan brave. His whole life the only thing he did was fix the mistakes he caused. The same goes a lot for Korra because she too caused most of her problems herself
I'd say Kuruk. He's extremely underrated. Yangchen just abandoned her duties and favoured humans over the spirits. She let the humans abuse and corrupt spirits, turning them dark and in the next life Kuruk had to stop the dark spirits from unleashing chaos and evil upon the world, doing all this while not letting a SINGLE person know. No one. He didn't tell anyone because he didn't want Yangchen's reputation to be tarnished. I know it doesn't seem like it to a lot of people, but he's actually one of the most important Avatars. He prevented the world from delving into chaos everyday. But when you hunt dark spirits your overall life expectancy decreases. And because of him hunting spirits, he lost his wife's face to Koh the Face Stealer, and he also died very young because of the life expectancy thing. He's one of the bravest and most selfless Avatars.
Personally, I would say the bravest Avatar could be Kuruk. It’s no secret Yangchen sorely dedicated her time and effort towards balancing the physical world, while mostly ignoring the spiritual world. As an Avatar’s duty is commonly fixing the mistakes of the previous Avatar, Kuruk did exactly that. He spent the entirety of his life preventing an all out war between the spirits and humans by focusing on absolving dark spirits of their impurities. While this is happening, many are slandering his name as several see him as lazy, and forgetting his duty to the people. In fact, he chose to keep his spiritual missions secret in order to keep from tarnishing Yangchen’s reputation. There is courage in unmarked glory; and I think this is extremely well represented in the [mis]education of Kuruk.
Kyoshi founded the Dai Lee, Korra prevented prevented the Earth Kingdom from taking over the nations, could metal AND spirit bend, and stopped the entire world from 10000 years of darkness.
Also, she had short time for practice, learned airbending by improvisation moves made by a firebender, stopped the first lightning bender in centuries, her bending without avatar state was literally too great that she needed a tool to tone them down, and she froze someone's organ.
Yea but korra got an entire show and super much to do, while kyoshi never failed at anything and we have only seen a few clips of what she has done. If someones famous or just well known it doesn't mean that the person is the best or is the strongest.
Aang was the most competent avatar, stuck to his values and morals and among the other avatars he was the only one who could look at a tyrant and find a way to defeat him without sacrificing those morals. Korra was emotionally driven, and she struggled big time with mastering her skills because of this. But when she did master her skills, even after losing her connection to the other avatars, Korra managed to not only start fixing the broken world of previous avatars, it was thanks to her decisions that the Air Nomads were able to return, people learned to live in peace with the spirits, and she learned from her previous enemies ways to make things better for the world.
Id also have to give both Aang and Korra credit for bringing energy bending back into the world. It was re-discovered by Aang and then somewhat mastered by Korra.
@@HueManatee and the fact that Aang taught Korra to energy bend, which grew into spirit bending and her ability to essentially bend a nuke sized spirit ray, and open a third portal to the spirit world. People give korra a lot of flack because of the severed connection to the other avatars but she was one of the strongest avatars, who mastered sub domains of bending without the help of previous avatars.
Well Roku tried the "not killing the firelord" approach and it backfired badly. He might have prevented the massacre of the air nomads had he killed the firelord. Though of course he didnt know about energy bending.
@@Daniel-rd6st thing is later on the show we saw that he could just cut his arms off imprisoned him In the spirit prision or just capture him in a water nation prision
@@Strangelyfey I really think the writing and the fact that they had only planned for one season did Korra dirty. They had to nerf her every new season and the animation and budget never made her do much more than slinging some projectiles at enemies. Only difference was that sometimes it was a fireball and sometimes it was a rock. The most dissapointing part was that a 90-100 year old Toph still fought with a similar creativity as in the original series and ragdolled Korra. On top of that, because of the nerfs she was overly reliant on her avatar state because the story would not have been compelling if Korra just bodied everyone even without the avatar state. Aang managed to get a lot of victories without it. For those reasons I just can't say that Korra is never shown to be anywhere close in combat skill to anyone of the powerhouses in the original. Purely based on what is shown in the series, Korra without the avatarstate loses to Azula, Ozai, Iroh, prime Toph, prime Katara, prime Zuko and probably the other two member of the white lotus: the watertribe master that taught Katara and the firebender that first tried to teach Aang. With the avatarstate she still loses to Aang. You can probably tell I was dissapointed in the lack of creativity and scale in the bending compared to original.
Who do you think is the strongest Avatar?
Aang easy but Kyoshi is awesome too
Kyoshi
KYOSHII!!!
All of them are the strongest they just make their own way of style in fighting...
For my opinion Korra and Aang
Fun fact : The final water bending move Aang does at the end of the series is “pushing and pulling the water” - which is also the first ever move he learnt from Katara.

And remember all the other avatars had years and years to master all 4 elements. They were taught more or less by actual masters. Aang had a summer to learn all 4 elements and he was taught by 3 teenagers.
Smh Korra mastered them as a baby 🤦🏾♂️ where is your logic fam
@@tyronmaye Korra didn't master them. She could make spurts of fire come out and move small rocks and such but she didn't master them. Theres a difference between knowing how do basic moves and mastering the element as a whole. It took her years and years. She mastered 3/4 of the elements at 16 and it took her a really long time to master air. That happened a while later. Aang mastered the elements at 12.
Smh Jus say he's your favorite...hes far from the strongest, OBVIOUSLY
I feel Korra should be higher on the list. She learned Aang's Energy bending that could take away and give back a person's bending, learned spiritual bending to defeat Unavatu without Rava, brought humans and spirits together, put her life on the line for the new air nomads, and deflected a raw energy blast from a spirit cannon and created a 3rd portal into the spirit world. She was also the first Avatar to master metal bending.
@@N.G.H. Korra did do alot for the world but I don't think she could've beat the avatars ranked above her. They might have not gone through some of the bigger battles Korra went through but they were more experienced. Korra also never learned to energy bend. Aang gave her that power. She also had MANY experienced benders and friends helping her along the way. The other avatars did everything more or less by themselves. (excluding Aang of course) Korra was never alone. She had very talented masters, and peers always fighting alongside her. Avatar Korok, for example, fought dangerous spirits to save the physical world by himself. Could Korra be as powerful as she is now without having Aang who gave her the power to energy bend or without having the masters to teach her, or her friends that taught her so much? Could she have learned to metal bend without Suyin? The generation that Korra was born in was ALOT more developed than any other avatars generation and this gave Korra ALOT of advantages. So much was just handed to her in terms of honing her skill. And could Korra beat Kyoshi or Aang? Just comparing their bending skills and fighting ability alone, I think its highly unlikely. But it's probable she could beat the other avatars if she tried hard enough.

Avatar Wan literally combated the forces of Darkness and won. With such minimal experience and no prior life wisdom. He deserves to be higher on the list.
hes weak
@@NawafmilfiYou couldn't be more wrong because Avatar Wan is a very powerful and skilled avatar. Since he became the first avatar ever, combining with the spirit of light, Rava, and beginning the Avatar Cycle almost 10,000 years prior to Avatar Aang. So he's a really important avatar, also Avatar Wan didn't have the knowledge or wisdom of past avatars unlike all of the avatars that succeeded him.
So it's phenomenal how much Wan was able to accomplish without any past knowledge or wisdom. He may not be the most powerful avatar but he is by no means a pushover. So you should give Avatar Wan a lot more credit and respect, which he rightfully deserves, without Wan there would be no avatar period.
Korra is underrated. I would definitely put her in the top 3. Her power and kind of bending is truly strong. Also she was the first ever Avatar who bended Metall. She lost to Amon first, but beated him only with the airbending. This was a thing she learned 2 seconds ago. And then 4 seconds later... Amon was beaten.
Thats incredible and she did things that are never done by an Avatar before her. Also she was even to bend 3 Elements with like 4/5 years. Aang only noticed that he has more than 1 Element where he was 11. And Korra didn't even had a Master to learn with. She only had the Water Nation and she learned 2 Elements alone.
I think she is one of the strongest Avatars and surely in the top 3.

@@cybermainstream Nope
Korra and Aang might be some of the strongest Avatars, but they were also technically the worst too. They were rush jobs. Aang had to learn to bend every element in less than a year, while traveling the world to avoid his pursuers, meaning that he never got to immerse himself in the other nations' cultures and politics like Avatars before him did before they started their duty. He had to learn while fixing the post-war world. Meanwhile Korra was isolated and never got to see the world, allowing her ego to inflate and her people skills to be nonexistent

@@hadiemdanial8324 what you said about the avatars is true
@@fireprincezuko543 what you said about the fire nation is true
I would argue that Avatar Wan is the strongest for a few reasons.
1) Avatar Wan started the Avatar cycle. This shows strength simply through intelligence and courage. Wan had no idea how to even bend, managed to convince a Lion Turtle to let him retain his power and roam free. He was able to merge with the Spirit of Light, master the other 3 elements, and then fought, beat, and trapped the Spirit of Darkness.
2) Wan had a very deep spiritual connection. It's understandable seeing that he lived with Spirits unlike Aang, and the former half of Korra. He was able to befriend the spirits; again, he was also able to convince Raava to merge with him (although they didn't really have any other choices). This is spiritual strength, and emotional prowess. To befriend spirits we have already seen that people need to keep their emotions in check.
3) Avatar Wan defeated the spirit of Darkness, and fought in many different armies (as seen at the end) without any extra assistance from any super powerful benders (given the fact that bending was new to everyone). He didn't have other Avatars to guide him, he didn't have any true friends (it seems) to motivate him. He fought for peace largely by himself. Again another example of confidence, courage, and a great deal of emotional strength, and raw power to fight for so long; I mean he was old at the end (probably just the stress of it all though).
I can definitely get behind the argument that every avatar should be stronger than the last given that they have all of the previous Avatar's power, but as Avatar, Roku, Korra, and Kuruk have shown us, that isn't always the case. Strength is something you have to invest in, even as the Avatar. But again, I would argue that not having that access and still succeeding makes you strong (in Wan's case).
Also, I wouldn't say that energy bending makes you inherently strong. As far as we've seen, energy bending can grant or take away bending, and manipulate spirit energy. But for generations avatars have kept the peace without it. It's not like it changed the game all that much, because of it's limited uses.
I'm not sure I would say any Avatar is stronger than Wan. Unless we are defining strength as pure bending skill, and ability, then I say this list is definitely wrong.
I feel like the only bender that can compete with Wan is Aang. And the justification given in the video feels like a bit of a cop out ("his real strength was his strength of will"). What possibly sets Aang apart is how quickly he learned, as well as how he mastered energy bending. But the speed of learning is not really relevant to how powerful he is in the moment. And Energy bending is basically useless in a fight (it's just used to make an opponent useless after the battle is already settled through other means, to avoid killing them). Wan after merging basically effortlessly imprisoned Vaatu like it was a morning routine or something. Which is a feat I don't think any other avatar can eclipse. Even Aang in the avatar state had to build up an arsenal (the bubble thing with all the elements around him) first and use it to launch attacks at Ozai. Wan literally just snapped his fingers and Vaatu was imprisoned.
@@TheRealXartaX ^^^
@@sagestation7831 If anything I feel like TLOK did Aang a massive disservice, and considering the base foundation of his character after TLAB he should be way stronger during Korra's time. Sure Aang was a pacifist and not really interested in fighting, but he did love bending and working on his skills. As it stands, "peak Aang" is basically his Ozai fight. You might say he pulled off energy bending a bit more effortlessly during his old age, but it could also be argued that's because his opponent had a much weaker spirit than Ozai. If Aang had continued to capitalize on his extreme talent into his old age, then he might have eclipsed Wan.
@nostalgia television The person who made the video invited debate... why you gotta be a troll.
Factually speaking I'd have to say Aang was the strongest Avatar. This is because Roku said the Avatar State focuses the energy of Raava and all of the previous Avatars through the current Avatar's body when activated, meaning that the more Avatars that there are before the previous one the more energy and power they receive when in the Avatar State which is when they're at their most powerful. I would've said Korra, but she lost her connection with her past lives meaning she also lost access to their power and energy. So now she only has access to Raava's power like Wan originally did.
Доступ к силе раавы,которая больше,чем у всех аватаров до нее вместе взятых.
if anything it makes korra stronger because she accomplished more than aang without the connection to past avatars
@@documentaryclips-g3s please remember the atla he was only 12 and he defeated the strongest fire bender. He had to master all bending in a year. Also everything in atla happens in a year of course we only see him defeat 1 enemy(he did defeat the father of amok in tlok too in a day).
I believe that Korra and Aang are easily at the top because if you take the events from book 4 they would be the only ones able to energy bend Kuviras spirit vines and create a portal. The other avatars like Kyoshi and Roku would not be able to stop her creation by coming out complete
They are definitely the most powerful Avatars

The fact that kyoshi lived for 200+ years and mastered the elements and there was no war at her era because she was just THE STRONGEST there was a problem in earth kingdom then she just goes there and solved it perfectly and made dai lee , she also separated the whole island into 2 parts with her earth and lava bending and moves it to sea with ear bending 😳
For real. This channel defends aang too much
Hahaha air bending
exactly! her powers were too strong that she even had to use fans to concentrate them 😳 we all know she's strong but the books do her even more justice, i wish more people read it
@@incog38294 In the show, he was 12. Kyoshi was much more older then aang. Imagine being in 7th grade and the world is depending on you, we didnt even see aang in his prime or older ages.
@@Tipidus we did see him in his prime and we saw him in the comics. aang still stands no chance against kyoshi
Y’all can say whatever about Aang but the kid took on so many pressures of the world as well as the history of the avatar world, he had a short time frame to learn and master new skills, lost all his people, and still stayed true to himself. Not to mention he was a nice guy, memesy and still made the most of everything no matter how bad the circumstance.

Something that I legit always loved about avatar is that while an avatar achieves many great things in their lifetime, they always end off with some sort of big regret that the next avatar has to resolve.
Roku's action of sparring sozin lead to the 100 year war and he died with regret that he couldn't stop sozin.
Aang suffered from that action and loss the air nomads and had to end that 100 year war while never truly being able to rebuild the air nation.
Korra's action of creating more actual balance with the spiritual side of the world lead to more of an actual balance with the elements, making reviving the air nation possible and fulfilling aang's biggest regret. However the actual actions to create that balance lead to Korra losing direct connection with her past lives, a major burden that the next avatar will have to resolve and obviously the big regret korra has from the journey as the avatar.
I totally agree with you
Nice analysis.
i think the next avatar will have to find a way to reconnect w other past avatars and be stronger than ever

Edit: Spelling mistakes
Just because he’s at the bottom of the list doesn’t necessarily equate to him being ‘weak’. It solely means that there are stronger Avatars toward the future.
Avatar wan was very powerful tbh
because of how the avatar state works, every avatar is stronger than the last it's like asking "who's the strongest user of One for All?" and answering the very first user who had the absolute weakest form of One for All
@@saiyanfang1047 by that logic wouldn't Korra after Season 2 be one of the weakest?
@@drewlaw2192 yes, but her techniques close the gaps and make her stronger than Wan but out of all the Avatars we've seen Korra is second weakest with Wan being weakest
Wan and Korra have something in common
They both in the beginning they were so into themselves even though also wanting to help the world they had to go through what they did so that they could be wise enough to take on the harder challenges
And both Wan and Korra had no help but from the spirit itself

Oh sorry i read this in the wrong way . I taught ravaa the one talking and think you talk about season 2 of korra
He was the first Avatar and he had to create and innovate various bending techniques without help from any bending master..... That's pretty cool to me
Frankly, I'd rank Avatar Wan significantly higher than many of the other Avatars.
Sure, he doesn't have any of the previous Avatar's experience to draw on, however, he has the closest connection to Raava, and has tapped directly into the power of harmonic convergence. Not to mention, the forms of bending he performs seem significantly different to the modern forms of bending. It is likely he may have forgotten more than many of the modern avatars have ever learned.
He flew on clouds rather than a Wind Orb or Wind Wheel. He actually moves fire, rather than just shoots and directs momentary jets of flames.
He gained bending directly from each Lion Turtle by gaining their energy.
There is still so much about Avatar Wan we haven't learnt. Just knowing he defeated Vaatu upon becoming the Avatar, without mastering the Avatar state. As an Avatar, none of the known Avatar lives up to his accomplishments.
Ya, Wan even if not the strongest avatar, should be the greatest avatar of all time followed by Aang. And he should be one of the most powerful too since he did train under a dragon on his fire bending. so we can assume he most likely learned his bending from the original masters.
How does this make him stronger, though? Kyoshi moved a *continent* (Landmass), and has the experience and can get the powers of previous avatars, as well.

Avatar Wan has got to be the most skilled.

Avatar Yang Chen, despite all of her training, and past lives guiding her, couldn't defeat General Old Iron, but had to make a bargain.
But avatar wan did have teachers technically like the dragons who taught him fire bending
@@TruthAndIdeals ikr he learned bending directly from the original
Avatar Wan had not mastered teqniques invented in hundreds and maybe thousands years after him while latest avatars did. Despite some fluctuations are possible, I think in general later avatars will be more powerful than their predecessors. Avatars divided by tens of years and maybe couple of hundred years can compete, but if we talk on a half of thousand years, more modern avatar must be stronger just beacause new bending teqniques emerged.

Tbh toph would think Bhumi's earthbending Could use some work. Getting a meh from toph means you're a master
While this is true, he was still very competent in both Earth and fire by the show's end.

Top 3 strongest avatars
1. Avatar Aang
2. Avatar korra
3. Avatar roku
I think Korra is too high.. her irrational like childish behavior was her downfall more often than not and a big reason why her connection to the avatar state was severed.. he fighting style was more about her emotions instead of just skill.. whenever she was flustered her skills completely went out the window
Korra was always skilled, honestly better than Aang at the physical side of bending and active combat, but as you said her emotional, naive and impulsive nature got in the way, but I think you missed that she learned, developed and started maturing along, especially after passing teenage, Korra was never childish for a teenage girl who was confined and coddled for her entire life then thrust to the outside world with major responsibilities, it's just that Aang was extraordinarily even freakishly wise and calm for a 12yr old boy, the open and less complex society and his era help him.Korra would have done a lot better if she was born in Kiyoshi era.
It's so impressive how many views Avatar generates and still took so long for Paramount to dedicate more resources and produce new entries to the universe.
I personally have mixed feelings on if they should, It could be great, or it could end up being a big flop. Though it would've been great to have a longer story of avatar Wan or Kyoshi, or many others, I doubt the creators would be invested enough and/or had the artistic freedom to make it amazing.

Yeap, it's reincarnation, but it's not the same avatar.
Reincarnations are NOT original one, you must be western and not familiar with the concept of Reincarnations in the East, let's say Naruto, he was the reincarnation of Indra, but Naruto IS NOT Indra, think of it this way: Your father gave birth to you, your DNA is identical to him, you look like him, he raised you and your knowledge/values are align by him, but you ARE NOT your father. Reincarnations work the same, in buddhism ALL OF US are reincarnation of someone in the past and we are not that person
I think what he meant was it's all the same soul. Sure they were birth by different people and grew up in different times which more or less changed their personalities, their races, and their beliefs, but it's still the same soul.
To be fair, Avatar Wan learned all the bending arts from the spirits and original sources, just like Avatar Aang. All the strongest benders learnt the arts from the originators, so he's probably very strong.
And it is also through Wan's actions that the Lion Turtles chose to gave up their roles as the protector of human and instead made it as the Avatar's duty. And thus the avatar cycle was born through Wan.
The only thing I will forever be upset about is how Korra reserved what Wan started. Because she felt all humans and spirits should coexist. I understand why she wants but there was no balance, when they did. That’s why the avatar was the only one to be able to be in both world.

All the full potential that we saw in Aang at the end of the series (I'm definitely not talking about how he progressed over time or whether he continued to focus as much on training as before, although possibly yes) that is, in the fight against Ozai , was seen. Even though he gave his all, most of the skills he used were from the avoidance martial arts of Air, Aang was clearly losing until he entered the Avatar state. _When the video says he mastered all the elements with 12, it was wrong information, my point in the comment._
(Sorry for my English n for long comment too)
Keep in mind that Aang never mastered fire or earth bending during ATLA. Zuko and Toph both said that he needed more training in those elements yet he defeated the fire lord
However, he *does* fully master the Avatar State since he was able to access it at will, meaning, when he can, he can instantly get full mastery of Fire and Earth temporarily. Not the same as mastering it without the Avatar State though.
He mastered earth toph only said he needed work

On the other hand, she came to Republic City, a modernized metropolis, with no knowledge whatsoever.
She's the only Avatar who didn't travel the world and in turn, a lot of things hindered her especially in fights and decision-makings. But this much shouldn't take much of her credit for saving the world from a lot of threats while being on the other side of the spectrum when it comes to dealing with them.
First Avatar to learn metalbending too. She is a every skilled Avatar!
Thank you like I feel like everyone gives Aang too much credit Korra is way powerful too
I agree
Can't agree more
@@mianelson2005 I never really understood why she was able to do firebending, waterbending, and earthbending at such a young age even though she wasn't trained.
Wan is brillaint and powerfull avatar.... He learned bending without any human masters... All though aang has learned energy bending, without wan there is no aang ,kyoshi or a single avatar
That's why although not the strongest, I think he is the greatest avatar of all time. Followed by Aang.
Wan numbaWAN
I think the only reason he is "weak" is because he doesn't have the wisdom other avatar's had to know his full potential and keep in mind the people of his time probably has some or lots of lost bending ability such as flight.
Aang is the 🐐......He was a little kid and did so much. Had the best Journey alongside Wan.
Don't y'all remember that Korra can energybend too? She got it from Aang, and she used it to restore Lin's bending.
And could create a spirit portal with it.
she restored the bending abilities of others who fell victim to Amon's bloodbending too
She also defeated Vaatu without the aid of Raava and past Avatars
@@RainMoontide she created a whole portal and brought peace amongst spirits and humans (mostly on the comics) without their help
Actually, she didn't get much help from her past lives when she was still connected to them
She can fight hand in hand combat and doesn't just rely on her bending to save her or get her out of sticky situations.
There’s only one person that is stronger than Avatar Aang...
Cabbage man
Soo true 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@DatOneAPXGuy that's a tough fight
Considering that avatar Wan lived 10000 years before avatar Korra, it means that more or less there must have been only 100 avatars. Because from the avatar's lives we know, we can see that there is Kyoshi who lived 230 years and Aang who lived 166 years while there is Kuruk who lived only 33 years. So we can assume that more or less the average life span of the avatar is 100 years, therefore there were only 100 avatars.
Correct.
Remember Tokunbo said to Jeong Jeong? “I have mastered the elements 1000 times in 1000 life times”( including him). Therefor Aang is the 1001st and korra is 1002
@@davidagbesi8222 not really, will you believe an avatar who is speaking and has no knowledge about how many avatars there are and he is making a figure of speech and a huge exaggeration or a flash back, 10000 years ago that shows us how the first avatar became the avatar.
@@mark78129 well there is really no way to tell. He could have been telling the truth or like you said it could be a figure of speech. It just makes way for many theories.
@@davidagbesi8222 it is literally clear that korra is the 183 avatars. When we saw the avatars in the temple they had to be more than a 100. There are 183 avatars
You ommitted Szeto and Salai from the list. Also imagine thinking Aang is more powerful than Kyoshi. She displayed the most incredible bending feats of any Avatar. Perervered through an incredibly troubled childhood that rivals if not outright beats aangs. Had no weakness in any of the bending disaplines, even air which should have been a natural weakness. Lived for over 2 centuries and that's without freezing herself for 100 years.
now make a list of the bravest Avatar i wanna see who yall going to put over WAN
I would call Wan brave. His whole life the only thing he did was fix the mistakes he caused. The same goes a lot for Korra because she too caused most of her problems herself
I'd say Kuruk. He's extremely underrated. Yangchen just abandoned her duties and favoured humans over the spirits. She let the humans abuse and corrupt spirits, turning them dark and in the next life Kuruk had to stop the dark spirits from unleashing chaos and evil upon the world, doing all this while not letting a SINGLE person know. No one. He didn't tell anyone because he didn't want Yangchen's reputation to be tarnished. I know it doesn't seem like it to a lot of people, but he's actually one of the most important Avatars. He prevented the world from delving into chaos everyday. But when you hunt dark spirits your overall life expectancy decreases. And because of him hunting spirits, he lost his wife's face to Koh the Face Stealer, and he also died very young because of the life expectancy thing. He's one of the bravest and most selfless Avatars.
Personally, I would say the bravest Avatar could be Kuruk. It’s no secret Yangchen sorely dedicated her time and effort towards balancing the physical world, while mostly ignoring the spiritual world. As an Avatar’s duty is commonly fixing the mistakes of the previous Avatar, Kuruk did exactly that. He spent the entirety of his life preventing an all out war between the spirits and humans by focusing on absolving dark spirits of their impurities. While this is happening, many are slandering his name as several see him as lazy, and forgetting his duty to the people. In fact, he chose to keep his spiritual missions secret in order to keep from tarnishing Yangchen’s reputation. There is courage in unmarked glory; and I think this is extremely well represented in the [mis]education of Kuruk.
Kyoshi founded the Dai Lee, Korra prevented prevented the Earth Kingdom from taking over the nations, could metal AND spirit bend, and stopped the entire world from 10000 years of darkness.
Which kyoshi regretted
Also, she had short time for practice, learned airbending by improvisation moves made by a firebender, stopped the first lightning bender in centuries, her bending without avatar state was literally too great that she needed a tool to tone them down, and she froze someone's organ.
Yea but korra got an entire show and super much to do, while kyoshi never failed at anything and we have only seen a few clips of what she has done. If someones famous or just well known it doesn't mean that the person is the best or is the strongest.
Korra wasn't a fast learner of far more complex bending the base 4 elements and doesn't have energy bending
@@TheFi3nd she does? She literally gave a lot of people their bendings back?
Aang was the most competent avatar, stuck to his values and morals and among the other avatars he was the only one who could look at a tyrant and find a way to defeat him without sacrificing those morals.
Korra was emotionally driven, and she struggled big time with mastering her skills because of this. But when she did master her skills, even after losing her connection to the other avatars, Korra managed to not only start fixing the broken world of previous avatars, it was thanks to her decisions that the Air Nomads were able to return, people learned to live in peace with the spirits, and she learned from her previous enemies ways to make things better for the world.
Id also have to give both Aang and Korra credit for bringing energy bending back into the world. It was re-discovered by Aang and then somewhat mastered by Korra.
@@HueManatee and the fact that Aang taught Korra to energy bend, which grew into spirit bending and her ability to essentially bend a nuke sized spirit ray, and open a third portal to the spirit world.
People give korra a lot of flack because of the severed connection to the other avatars but she was one of the strongest avatars, who mastered sub domains of bending without the help of previous avatars.
Well Roku tried the "not killing the firelord" approach and it backfired badly. He might have prevented the massacre of the air nomads had he killed the firelord. Though of course he didnt know about energy bending.
@@Daniel-rd6st thing is later on the show we saw that he could just cut his arms off imprisoned him In the spirit prision or just capture him in a water nation prision
@@Strangelyfey I really think the writing and the fact that they had only planned for one season did Korra dirty. They had to nerf her every new season and the animation and budget never made her do much more than slinging some projectiles at enemies. Only difference was that sometimes it was a fireball and sometimes it was a rock. The most dissapointing part was that a 90-100 year old Toph still fought with a similar creativity as in the original series and ragdolled Korra. On top of that, because of the nerfs she was overly reliant on her avatar state because the story would not have been compelling if Korra just bodied everyone even without the avatar state. Aang managed to get a lot of victories without it.
For those reasons I just can't say that Korra is never shown to be anywhere close in combat skill to anyone of the powerhouses in the original. Purely based on what is shown in the series, Korra without the avatarstate loses to Azula, Ozai, Iroh, prime Toph, prime Katara, prime Zuko and probably the other two member of the white lotus: the watertribe master that taught Katara and the firebender that first tried to teach Aang. With the avatarstate she still loses to Aang.
You can probably tell I was dissapointed in the lack of creativity and scale in the bending compared to original.
