Aang was the first Air Nomad in living memory to have a child who can't air bend. Not only would he have felt like he was failing his people by not bringing them back when his first two kids couldn't air bend. It would also have challenged his sense of identity by making him question if he was a real Air Nomad himself.

And I think in future episodes we found out Kya and Bumi showed little interest in airbending cultures and lessons when they were young, Aang definitely tried to teach them but he didn't force it on them, he probably focused more on Tenzin since he is an airbender and showed more interest in Aang's lesson The point is Aang isn't as good of a father Tenzin think he is and Aang isn't as bad of a father Bumi and Kya think he is

Something makes me happy about these episodes is the implication that Korra is related to Yuei. Yuei was the daughter of the chief of the Northern Water Tribe, and Korea’s dad was next in line to be chief until his brother usurped him. That means that Korra, while not a direct descendent of Yuei, is probably a cousin of Yuei’s! You keep mentioning the ability to use the Northern-Southern portals as a trade route, which I find interesting. That is certainly true, but when I heard that line, my first thought was “Oh no, he can invade faster by moving troops straight from North to South.” Neither of us is wrong, I just found it interesting how we had different interpretations of the same line!

We never had a perfect Avatar pre-Aang shown to us also for that same reason : To show us that Aang himself won't, in his turn, be perfect... Like Korra won't, and will probably create rifts, bad bloods, tensions, which will perdure past to her death, unto her relatives, in the next cycle... Because this is life.

It does make sense Aang might have struggled to spend time with all his kids, as someone who never had a traditional family. Heck, Aang traveled around a lot in his pre-Avatar days, he might have thought giving the other two some independent time to explore their interests was a good thing, but Tenzin naturally needed more time with Aang as the only other airbender. On the other hand, I kind of wish they hadn't left it to just 2 episodes to unpack. I would have loved Katara's perspective on the matter, for one, and that portrait at the end does indicate they were mostly happy. A little more balance in the narrative may have helped.

You are the ONLY reactor who didn't get instantly offended and upset at the fact that Aang wasn't a perfect father. I always thought it was genius as a writing choice. There should be no illusion between whether or not the Avatar is still human. They, for all their power, ARE normal humans in the end. Meaning they're prone to making the same mistakes and having the same flaws that everyone else could. Plus, it makes perfect sense. Someone as important as the Avatar, I could definitely see being an absent father. Aang was not only the Avatar, but he was also unlucky enough to be the last of his people and his culture, as well. I can definitely see why he'd spend so much time with Tenzin, being the only other airbender in the world.

Aang was desperate to learn all the bending styles as quickly as possible, Korra was basically born being able to use 3 of the 4. Aang struggled to learn Earth bending because of his personality, Korra has exactly the right personality to make Earth bending easy. People complain about the reveal that Aang wasn't a very good father, but it makes sense that he would obsess over the only air-bending child and neglect the others. So much of who he was and what he did was shaped by being the last surviving air-bender. Real people have flaws, and every parent makes serious mistakes.

Fun fact most empires are created by their ability to move armies. The British empire had a massive navy, the Mongols mastered horse riding, and even the Rome had a huge network of roads "all roads lead to Rome".

I LOVE seeing the relationship between Aang's kids. This show is great at fleshing out the relationships of the adults. They could've easily just kept the focus on the teens like most other YA stories. Just makes the whole world feel more complete. The more complete the easier it is to slip into their world and hang out. It's not perfect but dang did they do a lot of things right. Side note- Caught back up before the end of the year! Happy New Year!!

Idk why people hate season 2 so much. Especially the early episodes. I think it's important to be reminded that even the avatar is only human. Korras problems and personality are entirely accurate to real life. And Aang was only human is well, trying to balance his duty to his family and to the world. Sadly in this day and age people don't like reality.

To me, all of the actual character treatments and storylines in season 2 are brilliant and the issuw is simply there are too many so the focus gets split too much. That and the climatic plot storyline is pretty weak compared to the plot storyline up until that point

Aang may not have been a perfect father but he definitely loved all his kids unconditionally, he just didn’t really know how to do the best job. I’ve not read the comics but I remember seeing a panel where Kya talks about how Aang was super cool and supportive of her coming out (not a show spoiler because kya being a lesbian is not touched on at all)

One thing I love about Korra is that the voice actors for the much older characters, Tenzin, Lin, Kya, Bumi, etc approach the emotion realistically (eg Bumi talking to Aang's statue). Many other on-screen actors would think of voice acting as beneath them and deliver performances that stick out, and not in a good way.

Those people who decided they hated this show for its portrayal of Aang made that decision with all the nuance a 12-16yo who has never had a real responsibility can muster. I think his character becomes more believable when we find out he wasn't a perfect human. Also, I love that you love Varrick. He's a fairly polarizing character with alot more time as a main player. This series has some of the best characters in the Avatar universe. They are alot more complicated than the characters from ATLA. Not everything in Korra is strictly black or white, there's alot of grey area that leaves alot for discussion and imo thats what makes LoK as good as it is, even if its different from ATLA where almost everyone had a claercut allegiance and morality.

Aang and Tenzin's situation is so much more nuanced and complex than a lot of people give it credit for. I've seen people be really insulted by Aang being a less than stellar father and I've also seen people take this as a reason to shit on Aang but it's an incredibly messed up high pressure situation and I think it both makes perfect sense but I also don't think it makes him a horrible person or something. He's the last airbender and has the weight of his entire culture on his shoulders and by the time he and katara start having kids he's probably already seriously thinking about his mortality and how if he goes then that's it for airbenders. Then you have them have 2 non-airbending kids before finally getting an airbender, its pretty understandable why Aang would make teaching Tenzin such a massive priority, and as shitty as it was for Bumi and Kya, at the same time it was kind of worth it because once Aang is gone Tenzin pretty much becomes the defacto authority on air bending and air nomad culture and I'd say he lives up to it and he might not have if Aang hadn't dedicated as much time as he did. Also while it's understandable that Kya and Bumi feel like they missed out, I think Tenzin has a point about them not having as much pressure on them, and while Tenzin arguably got preferential treatment he also got added pressure and expectations in equal measure.

When you think of the four nations usually it is the Fire nation you would think is the more warrior-like in their culture. But we have to remember the water tribes prided themselves as warriors in their tribes. The Water tribe warriors were less military structured than the Fire nation, but being a warrior is deeply engrained in their culture. Obviously, the air-benders are peaceful and I am not sure we have ever seen warrior monks. Yes, they can defend themselves and are very powerful, but Airbenders do not appear to have a warrior society at all. Eartbenders while being great fighters, still do not really seem like being a warrior in that sense is really a part of the culture. More a job or a form of entertainment with Earthbending-mania. They have a military and soldiers, but mostly out of necessity, not really a cultural pride. - My point though is that it does make sense that Korra wants to be the best fighter. In a sense Korra's uncle is right. She being raised in the Southern water tribe without ever being taken out in the world to even visit their sister, the Northern tribe, which prevented her from learning the spiritual side. She should have got to visit the koi fish. - Sometimes I forget the drama of being a teenager. Especially ones thrust into such responsibility at that age. This might help a bit, though I omitted some things that may be considered spoilers. - Korra Born in 153 AG 170 AG (Book One: Air): Age 17 171 AG (Book Two: Spirits): Age 18 - Mako Born in 152 AG 170 AG (Book One: Air): Age 18 171 AG (Book Two: Spirits): Age 19 - Bolin Born in 154 AG 170 AG (Book One: Air): Age 16 171 AG (Book Two: Spirits): Age 17 - Asami Born in 152 AG 170 AG (Book One: Air): Age 18 171 AG (Book Two: Spirits): Age 19 - Tenzin Born in 119 AG 170 AG (Book One: Air): Age 51 171 AG (Book Two: Spirits): Age 52 - Pema Born in 135 AG (The younger woman took Tenzin from Lin...I did not know this until I made this comment) 160 AG (Birth of Jinora): Age 25 163 AG (Birth of Ikki): Age 28 165 AG (Birth of Meelo) Age 30 170 AG (Book One: Air): Age 35 171 AG (Book Two: Spirits): Age 36 - Lin Beifong Born in 120 AG 170 AG (Book One: Air): Age 50 171 AG (Book Two: Spirits): Age 51 - Jinora Born in 160 AG 170 AG (Book One: Air): Age 10 171 AG (Book Two: Spirits): Age 11 - General Iroh Born in 134 AG 170 AG (Book One: Air): Age 36 171 AG (Book Two: Spirits): Age 37

That Aang was perhaps not an ideal parent in every way upset a lot of viewers back in 2013. Some suggested that the writers must hate Aang as a character. It made sense to me, though. Aang never knew his parents, so far as we know, and wasn't raised by them. He was raised by monks in a religion that was built around airbending, with no non-airbenders allowed. Aang had the burden of needing to rebuild Air Nomad civilization, yet imagine the frustration when his first born was not a bender at all (and all airbenders are supposed to have airbender children, 100% of the time) and his second child was a waterbender. The relief when Tenzin was an airbender must have been overwhelming, and drawing on the parenting he received from the monks it makes sense that he would focus strongly on Tenzin. I am surprised that Katara never corrected this, but who knows the full story?

As far as I understand it, you get Airbender tattoos when you become a master. all monks (and besides the female Airbender avatar there were other female airbenders) have to shave their heads. Aang was embarrassed that his hair covered up his tattoos. I think all Airbender shave is my point.

And here we have the first implications that Aang was maybe not the best father to Kya and Bumi. He gave Tenzin special attention because he was an airbender.
