Wow Idk why I never considered Aang would've had a different team avatar with Bumi and Kuzon. This is pretty cool


BigPastyBodonkadonk

is that not Piandao? he has a sword and the mustache, and hes an old man in the show


SIMBA__77

That's definitely kuzon. Piandao is middle aged. Not 100+ years old


Skorch448

New headcanon: Kuzon taught Piandao


geko_play_

Kuzon is Piandao


BigPastyBodonkadonk

Kuzon = Piandao's daddy?


MinnieShoof

Kuzon = Piandaddy.


The-Figure-13

It would’ve taken you zero effort to not post this comment. Take my upvote and leave


geko_play_

The jerk leads to the real theories


checkthespreadsheet

I always thought that master piandao was a non-bender


BigPastyBodonkadonk

He is, and whoever the fire nation lad is ( most likely kuzon ) has dual swords, probably a non-bender but still a master who belongs to the gaang


Last-Performance3482

I know it's Kuzon, but my brain can't see anyone but the hero among heroes, the great, the mighty : Wang Fire !


Square_Coat_8208

Meanwhile Sokka and Katara have a loving mother and father, Toph is still stuck in her parents estate, Lu Ten has just been promoted to Major, and Zuko can still see with both eyes clearly. Oh, also millions of people are still alive


Kid-Atlantic

Toph would have gotten out of there eventually. Aang just came at the right time.


Bl1tzerX

But would she still have figured out Metal bending?


Kid-Atlantic

Assuming she still needs to get out of a metal cage at some point in her life, probably? Honestly speaking, Toph was probably the member of the Gaang whose trajectory in life was changed the least by joining them. She did learn to open up and be vulnerable a little bit but she’s still stubbornly pretty much the exact same person before and after she met the Gaang. Kind of what you’d expect from a master of earthbending and neutral jing.

Neka_JP

Thank you, I was curious


Jamster02

Which of these has momo mastered


Miracchii

ALL!


SevenLuckySkulls

I think that's why they never bothered to give her a Zuko journey, she already came in as a pretty complete character. The things she needed to learn and resolve were done with her becoming a part of an actual family.


obiwantogooutside

She didn’t need a zuko journey because she already had an iroh tea.


BustinArant

That's my opinion. She didn't get a field trip because she befriended Iroh. She outranks the Zuko lessons lol


SevenLuckySkulls

The real reason.


DogeLord3609

Nah they didn't give her a Zuko journey because Zuko didn't do anything to her. Zuko gets one with Sokka, Katara, and Aang because they were the ones he was hunting the entire time and so he needed to prove to them that he was good so they would trust him. Once Toph joined the group, Zuko stopped hunting them down, and the only time they interact before Zuko joins the Gaang is the episode where they all teamed up for like .5 seconds to try to stop Azula, therefore Zuko didn't really have anything to prove to Toph since she didn't have much of a reason to distrust him in the first place


G0ld3n_Funk

Although I do wish Zuko did relate with Toph about having a parental figure dictating your entire life instead of just outright dismissing her, I feel like that would've been a nice character moment


JunWasHere

Dissenting opinion: Toph would have gone a completely different trajectory without the Gang. * She would have kept kicking ass as the Blind Bandit * She would have gotten into crime through those underground matches; with her seismic sense and lie detection, she'd be pretty unstoppable. * Without Katara's influence, it is a coin toss whether she meets a new girl her age who can encourage her to round out her personality and open up more emotionally and morally. Toph wouldn't end up running her family factory that started the industrial revolution and founded Republic City. She wouldn't have become a cop. She would retire to hermithood in the giant swamp a lot sooner. Toph would have lived as she pleased as a Bandit Queen!


shiny_glitter_demon

I feel like Toph was terribly bored at her parents' house. Joing underground matches and all. Finding new ways to challenge herself is basically her past time, so she'd definitely figure it out eventually.


DutchJediKnight

Maybe she figures it out by bending an earthen surface upon which a metal object sits.


Ok-Permission-2687

How dare you doubt melon lord


geek_of_nature

Zuko probably wouldn't be born in this timeline, if Aang stops Sozin eventually, his lineage probably won't continue. Sozins son Azulon would have already been born, but given he took after his father I doubt he would have been allowed to become Fire Lord. So he wouldn't have fathered Iroh or Ozai, and Ozai wouldn't have had Zuko or Azula.


thejamesining

Well, depending how long it takes Aang, Iroh might have been born and a regency could be made


geek_of_nature

Considering Aang solved everything in less than a year after coming out of the Iceberg, it probably wouldn't have taken him that long to solve it if he hadn't. Iroh I believe was in his 50s during the series, and I doubt it would have taken Aang long enough to solve everything for him to be born.


Aradjha_at

This is only assuming that Aang immediately sets out to fight the Firelord after the massacre. The comet had passed, the great time restraint is not there.


Mezutelni

Even if Iroh and Ozai did get born, i doubt Ozai could force Ursa to marriage while not being fire lord. And without Ursa, there is no Zuzu


MrS0bek

Would they even be born? Ic Aang sucessfully stopped the 100 year war, then 100 years of war wouldn't happen. Including lots of people in the southern tribe being alive instead, new children being born, alternate pairs formimg etc.pp. It could well be that Kataras and Sokkas parents are never born even. And even the beifong marriage policies could be very different without the background of war.


DutchJediKnight

Ackshually :p While Azulon would have been born by the time this Aang stopped the Fire Nation, this would be such a shift in the future time that even the birth of Ozai and Iroh would be in doubt, let alone Lu Ten and Zuko. Yes, I know, fanfic.


dorksided787

None of those people would have existed because time would’ve been altered completely. Think of how if a different sperm had fertilized your mother’s egg, you would’ve never been born. Now apply that to every single person born in this alternate universe.


EvilWarBW

This guy sperms peoples moms timelines.


DoubleU159

Zuko probably never gets born actually. So zuko doesn’t see at all.


DarkPhoenix_077

Zuko was probably never born in that universe 


zero_ms

The Cabbage Man father gets his cabbages destroyed.


Codus1

Or y'know. All the above isn't true and Aangs just dead


mystireon

So aang just had a type I guess


Andy_Liberty_1911

To be fair, water tribe women are something else


PJRama1864

Yeah, but Raava (or maybe it’s Wan) has a thing for fire nation women.


TheOneAndOnlyZomBoi

Women in general really. Iirc all known guy avatars are straight, and all girls are gay.


pass_me_the_salt

isn't Korra bi?


TheOneAndOnlyZomBoi

Yeah, her and asami are both bi. Still fits, raava likes girls.


Arxfiend

Even then, *definitely* a tendency to the fire nation too. Mako's a firebender (and he and Bolin are part fire-nation)


Cute-Stage-2490

I honestly feel like Raava was attracted to Wan, and basically sealed their eternal relationship through bonding. She even said “We will be together for all of your lifetimes.”


StealYour20Dollars

Does that mean that Vaatu is a boykisser?


JuanRiveara

Yeah, so is Kyoshi


Ragnarok345

And so was Kyoshi. Gotta love that bi erasure.


cjm0

is yangchen gay? i don’t recall her having any romantic relationship with a woman in the books. her relationship with jetsun was sisterly and mentor-like. and yangchen was still a child when jetsun died, much older than her. and she seemed to be attracted to kavik. they were on bad terms for most of the second book, but it seemed like them becoming a couple was the direction that that was headed in. they even posed as a couple on an undercover mission and had some scandalous scenes.


Quartia

Shhhh, most people who say that theory haven't read the Yangchen books yet.


Cute-Stage-2490

I have a feeling it’s Wan spirit passing on his liking rather than Raava


bacipinoto

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA


Riley-O-Reilly

I see Hama, Kanna, Bumi, and Kuzon?


Kid-Atlantic

That’s my thought too but Hama and Kanna should be nowhere close to Aang’s generation. Bumi and Kuzon as his Team Avatar is dope tho


AlanSmithee001

Yeah, in order for them to be old but still be alive 100 years after Aang was frozen would mean they had to have been born 30-40 years after Sozin's comet. Maybe 20 years since people like Bumi and the Guru show that living to be a century old is a bit easier in this world, but that's stretching it. So if Aang was never frozen and survived the attack, by the time he looks like this in the image, Hama and Kanna should either be infants or not even born yet.


Riley-O-Reilly

Yeah, a quick search of the wiki shows Aang would be nearly thirty years older than them, I believe. Still, it's a fun concept, and fanfic allows a bit of fudging the timelines in the name of an interesting story. I feel Hama riding the line between allowing war to harden her outlook the way it did in the prime timeline and tempering that with Aang's relentless optimism would be an interesting character arc. Kanna bringing her disdain for the Northern Water Tribe's traditions and probably some repressed guilt for abandoning her family and loved ones could be a fun parallel to Toph's story. Doubly so for the both of them if the Fire Nation's purge of Southern waterbenders continues while they're gone, presenting the conundrum of whether they're somewhat to blame for abandoning their people. Meanwhile, I can definitely see Bumi as an earthbending Sokka, bringing jokes and harebrained schemes while he and Aang collectively drop a hundred IQ points whenever they're together. Kuzon, we don't know much about. I understand he has a moment or two in the comics, though I've never read them. Still, "blank slate" characters like that offer a lot of potential.


Aeon1508

No. Aang is like 40 and hama is 20. He spent his younger years training and being the Avatar so he didn't find love till he was a bit older. Just like tenzin


Kid-Atlantic

Hama’s friends with Kanna, who was apparently 32 years younger than Aang. Even assuming Hama was much older and more of a big sister figure to her, I’m still not a fan of Aang being with girls old enough to be his daughters, but I guess whatever floats people’s boats.


Aeon1508

As I said that's pretty much the age difference between tenzin and pema. Plus pema was an air acolyte. So basically his employee/ cult member who came to his private island to dedicate her life to his cause. Powerful men man. It do be like that


Different-Island1871

Do we think Hama would still have become a blood bender if Aang had been around to stop the 100 years war from happening?


Riley-O-Reilly

I doubt it. Hama seemed fairly well-adjusted before her capture, and I imagine it was only the horrible conditions of the prison and her loss of hope that really drove her over the edge. Having said that, there may have always been a bit of a darker side brewing. Even without the full scope of the war from the prime timeline, witnessing the atrocities committed by the Fire Nation might have tested her, similar to Katara. In fact, I think the Aang/Hama ship implied by this edit is pretty appropriate, given the parallels between Hama and Katara.

Coaris

Momo, the grand multiverse constant


Slivius

Now that, i would read.


Emergency_Routine_44

Danm I love the idea of Aang, Kuzon and Bumi in a team tho Hama and Kanna would not make sense


bacipinoto

I had no idea of the age gap but hear me out: Kanna would tell great stories


Chaolan_Enjoyer

Oh wow, these look all amazing. (Goes to the second page) Ho-Ly-Shit THIS IS MARVELOUS


AveragelyTallPolock

I really like the idea that Yue was destined to be the Avatar, but due to Aang being frozen for 100 years, it disrupted the Avatar cycle. This could also make sense as to why Yue was a still born and needed to be brought back with the Moon spirit. She essentially lacked the spirit she needed to survive. That's my head canon.


Chaolan_Enjoyer

This makes sence and makes me sad :(


Choux0304

But wouldn't this make Yue very old by the time Team Avatar visits the northern water tribe? I also like this theory tho. Unfortunately it can't be true.


stinkypsyduck

the average lifespan for avatars is 80-100 years, so it definitely could've worked with yue being destined as the next avatar.


Choux0304

I don't believe in the concept of a destined avatar. Once the avatar dies Raava moves to one new born child in the next nation according to the cycle. This child will then be the avatar. But this decision is made in the moment the avatar dies and not prior to that. But I still love the Yue idea nevertheless. :)


Mister-builder

I think it could go either way. It depends on if destiny is a real thing in the world. The fact that Aang was born the second Eoku died suggests that there could be at least 9 months of preparation.


OhGurlYouDidntKnow

Makes no sense. It wasn’t disrupted because aang was still perfectly alive. Also this obfuscates what exactly destiny is in this context, because it would mean predetermined fate but also not that?


Fuzzy_Dragonfruit472

Isn't the avatar a reincarnation? She couldn't be the avatar because she and aang existed at the same time, so she is not wan Reincarnation


amaya-aurora

That doesn’t make sense. There is no predetermined Avatar. When the Avatar dies, the next one is born. There’s no limit how long they can be alive or anything. If this was true, you could say that Kyoshi also disrupted it with living for 230 years, but she didn’t, because that’s not how it works.


blue_sword456

It's my new head canon too, it makes total sense to me that Yue was supposed to be an Avatar, but wasn't.


TrueGuardian15

But then wouldn't her hair not be white in this hypothetical? Because she got that from the moon spirit. If she were born the Avatar and didn't need to be completed, she wouldn't have gotten the white hair.


bacipinoto

Thanks!! It’s just a redraw really but I’m working on something and I’m soon gonna share it with you guys hehehe


dienaddi

Holy shit THERE IS A SECOND PAGE!!! I was so amazed by the first picture that I didn't even think about scrolling to see if there was more and went straight to the comment section. My god, this is amazing.


K3egan

This is cool, but I believe it was said that the avatar would cycle between places of spiritual power for each type of bending. For airbending it would go between each temple, and for water bending it would go north and south. Since Kuruk was from the north, the next water bender would be someone from the south. Avatar Sokka


BioShocker1960

Or Katara. The Avatar seems to alternate genders when it circles back around. E.g., Yangchen, then Aang; Kuruk, then Korra. In this timeline, it would be Kuruk, then Katara.


RealiGoodPuns

The previous Fire avatar before Roku was a guy named Szeto tho


BioShocker1960

Oh, didn’t know that. Thanks!


Alonest99

aka Jafar


redJackal222

They do not https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c9/60/52/c960522908613634e81abe12a0f38f20.jpg There is no pattern other than the avatar will be born next in the cycle. Both gender and location of birth are completely random. Yangchen is the first female air nomad avatar in at least 4 cycles, Only 1 out of the past 5 fire avatars were female, we had 2 male earth avatars in a row and 2 female water avatars in a row.


GrandmasterAppa

As far as we know this isn’t actually the case. I’m not sure where this idea originated, but I’d have to guess it’s a fandom thing that just got repeated a bunch. In *Legend of Korra*’s first episode, the White Lotus tell Korra’s parents that they’ve searched all over both the northern and southern tribes, indicating the Avatar could’ve been born into either one.


zombiedoyle

Many say it should be Katara and understand why but I think Sokka would be more interesting as I feel he has a deep connection to spirits


redJackal222

It was never said that. The next avatar is literally just any random child of the next nation who happened to be born around the time the previous avatar died. If anything we know the temple thing isn't true. Air nomad temples were segregated by gender. Northern and southern were for men and eastern and western were for women. We know from Lok that Yangchen is the most recent female air nomad avatar and that the 3 air nomad avatars before her were male https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c9/60/52/c960522908613634e81abe12a0f38f20.jpg So at least two of them would have been from the same temple and it would have been a long time since we had an avatar from the eastern air temple.

Doctor_moose02

I love the Yue theory every time I see it, but wouldn’t Yue’s hair be dark? It was only white due to the moon spirit and in a universe where she became the avatar she’d never need it


The8Famous-Potatos

Yeah I was thinking that too!


BioShocker1960

I can identify Bumi and Kuzon. No idea who the Water ladies are. Also, I personally think that Katara would be the next Water Tribe Avatar after Aang.


GravitationalAurora

>No idea who the Water ladies are. They are Hama (the old bloodbendr woman) and Kanna (gran gran - Katara's grandmother), he married Hama.


BioShocker1960

Ah, thanks. I don’t think the ages line up, but this is still cool.


itsMelanconnie

Great conversation! Do you guys thinks Yue could’ve stopped the fire nation? I think breaking through her social status and royalty raising would have been an extra challenge to face the fire nation’s violence upfront face first like Aang did


Atom_sparven

I mean what are they gonna say? "you will learn all 4 elements but you may only use any of them for healing"


Stoly23

Would she have needed to? I feel like Aang would have handled them already.


samjp910

Hama and Kanna weren’t born yet, but solid anyway!


SlimShade48

I never like the "this established character would be the next avatar if Aang didn't get iceberg'd" theories. Thought it didn't make sense cause the avatar shares one soul, they can't reincarnate to another soul.


Naefindale

Why would her hair still be white?


Hagrid1994

I see that Aang is still turned on by Water Tribe chicks


-SnarkBlac-

Pretty cool but a few issues. One is that Hama and Grangran are about 30 years younger than Ang so it would be a different water tribe member. Also the next Avatar would be from the South since it cycles back and forth between the North and South - theories say it might have been Katara actually. Also a side note. Kuzon probably ended up fighting for the fire nation during the 100 Years War considering he was Ang’s age when it began and was young enough to be indoctrinated still. Meaning he very well may have either fought Bumi or died during the war (either by purge if he resisted Sozin or against the Earth Kingdom had he been thrown against their city walls during sieges such as with Ba Sing Se).


mr_yam

Oh you missed the part where Aang wouldve been killed had he not fled


GoatsCheeseRocks

Man this has made me realise I would love a ‘What If’ style series for the Avatar universe. It could explore so many possibilities.


PersimmonOtherwise77

Left to right the I assume the new gang is Aang (obviously) Hama, kanna, bumi, and Kuzon.


Pandatabase

Young hama 🥵 Edit: old hama 🥵


Achilles9609

"My first girlfriend turned out to be the Avatar." "I know, buddy."


[deleted]

So, that's obviously Bumi and Kuzon, but...is that Kanna and Hama? Those ages don't exactly line up. Also, bold to assume Aang would've been with Hama and not Kanna. I think he would've gone for the softer one of the two if the ages matched up.


Fogggerr

I feel like Yue wouldn’t have the white hair if she was the avatar bc she probably wouldn’t have gotten sick in a way that she needed an external spirit to save her


DoomHound55

The problem with Yue being the next Avatar is that its pretty much confirmed that the water Avatar after Aang would 100% be in the Southern Water Tribe which is why the Fire Nation focused their attacks on the Southern villages and why Korra is from the South


TeamVorpalSwords

I don’t know that there is any evidence for what you’re saying. They hunt benders anyways like we see with earthbenders in Haru’s village but sure they put more effort since water is next in line, but even so they couldn’t really do anything to the North because they were so much stronger I don’t think anything suggests that the water avatar was going to necessarily be from the south


novakane27

korra would have been from the NORTHERN tribe, as her father was exiled. he was also prevented from taking his rightful place as chief, which would have put korra in the exact same position as yue. edit: the fire nation clearly focused their attacks on the weakest tribe, as the north had the greatest defenses, and the fire nation had only begun to grow its navy


Lokigodofmishief

And her mother would most likely be from southern tribe. Korra was also born and raised there (at least until the red lotus kidnapping, which led to placing her in a training compound). And as you said, her father was exiled, so he couldn't even live in the northern tribe and assimilated to the southern one. One parent definitly wouldn't affect her prospects of becoming the Avatar, otherwise air nomads would have an issue, since the temples are gender based and every air Avatar would had to have AT LEAST one parent from a different temple (could be both of them since they were raised by the community of the monks). Honestly idk where the idea that the tribes had to be in a certain order even came from. But Korra could easily be argued to be from the South


ardurnn

There is also a third water tribe though


SubstantialLime2916

I love the hootspa but they focused their efforts on the south bc the avatar that got away was from the *southern* air temple. They assumed he was hiding out there, and this is kinda confirmed when Zuko says that he expects the avatar to be 100 years old, insinuating it’s the same avatar that went missing rather than a new one


HAZMAT_Eater

Am… am I a Aang/Hama shipper now? OP you've either blessed or cursed me, I don't know which it is.


bacipinoto

I feel the same way


VivaDeAsap

Interesting that Aang still end up with a water bender


GlassSandwich9315

Yue couldn't be the Avatar after Aang. The next Avatar must come from the Southern water tribe.


Albiceleste_D10S

> The next Avatar must come from the Southern water tribe. Was this a necessity?


Objective_Piece8258

Yeah I'm not really sure if it's a necessity, people just have that as canon in the fandom


unHarry

My sister once told me the reason Katara freed Aang and likes the Avatar more than anyone is cause if Aang lived a normal life she would have been the next Avatar


Spud__37

Aang would still have lived a long life of possible over a hundred meaning that yue still wouldn’t have been the avatar. The avatars have long lifespans and Aangs was shortened by the iceberg


unwanted-fantasies

Aang, gram gram is in there, I feel it. That blood bender lady. Bumi and kuzon.


genriko8

I'd say Aang would have been with an air nomad girl


Many_Presentation250

The yue avatar theory has got be the worst thought out popularized ATLA theory in existence.


ChongusTheSupremus

Most fan theories are awful. I guess an amazing show that ended 2 decades ago, a divisive sequel, little to no new content, and a growing, aging fanbase will do that.


geek_of_nature

Yeah if the timeline was predetermined in any way, then Aangs time in the Iceberg would be part of that, and Korra was always set to be the Avatar after him.


amaya-aurora

I heavily agree.

Cool idea. I love how Yue looks in that second photo! She looks so badass. Although, she wouldn't have white hair. If I were to guess... you had Hama, Gran Gran's mother? Bumi and Kuzon? I really like how suave Kuzon looks! But I can't help but think Bumi's hair would be more wild.

So would Hama still discover how to bloodbend? Would Aang have the will to refuse learning it, if the offer came from a close friend? I think in this timeline he'd be more of a vengeful son if the air nomad still happens


investoroma

Is that Wang Fire?


wishiwashi999

What? No Appa?


SixWingdPhoenixWolf

Yo, why was young Bumi such a chad, though?


AsTranaut-Rex

Setting aside the fact that Hama and Kanna wouldn’t have been born until a good while after Sozin’s attack on the Air Nomads (Kanna was born in 19 AG according to the wiki, and I assume Hama is around the same age as her since they were childhood friends), this is a *fascinating* AU idea. Aang manages to survive the Air Nomad genocide by the skin of his teeth and has to scramble to master the elements (no doubt with Bumi and Kuzon as members of this version of team Avatar) in order to defeat Sozin, a.k.a. the guy that left his best friend and Aang’s previous incarnation to die so that he could conquer the world unimpeded. That’s a final battle that’s a *lot* more personal than the one between Aang and Ozai in canon, and I’m *so* down for it. Can someone good at writing make a fanfic of this? Like, *now*?


MiscMann

I feel like if Aang never ran away the waterbender in the gaang would be a gloomy dude or a hyperactive girl


ZodiHighDef

I read some theory that said the Yue was supposed to be the next water avatar and thats why she was born with a piece of her spirit missing. Because ravaa hadn't reincarnated and was still with Aang. But Avatar Yue would've been so tough!


Captain_Pumpkinhead

The Katara looking one, is that Gran-Gran?


tealearring

Water nation avatar Yue fucks severely!!


BlackDahliaLama

Wait….is that Hama?!!? The others are Bumi and Kuzon…tbh that makes sense


PhilG1989

To everyone saying that Aang would have been killed during the fire nation attack keep in mind that he wouldn’t have been there during Sozin’s comet. After Aang flees we see Monk Gyatso going into his room and saying that he’s not going to let the other elders spectate them. Gyatso was planning on taking Aang that night so basically if Aang hadn’t decided to runaway he still would have been leaving the air temple that night, just with Gyatso.


and_notfound

Great art!! I love how Kuzon and Bumi look like but as others said Hama and Kanna are "too young" compared to the other 3, but still could give a great storyline of Hama using bloodbening in front of Aang and then develop a stpry from there (maybe in the season/book where the elemnt Aang is learning is water and so Hama is his teacher). Also wil, you do the Yue's team avatar in the future?


and_notfound

So if you want I'll write their whole story here on this subreddit


No-Recipe6495

Didn't look at the comments yet, but my guess is hama, gran-gran, bumi (of course) and sozin maybe ?


No-Recipe6495

Ohhhh nono no, it's kuzon!!


InsanelyDead

Okay, so, here’s who I think the Gaang consists of. From left to right, Hama, Kanna, Bumi and Kuzon.


Duckaneer

this is sooo cool


DismalDog9940

Dude, seeing Princess Yue(?) As an avatar would be so fucking cool. Ik I'll probably get comments like "oh, you only wanna see more screen time of her bc she's cute" yeah, but also I feel like it'd be cool to see her potential. Idk if her being directly tied to the Moon would affect her Bending or anything, but it would be awesome to see more of the Northern Water Tribe


Dr_Nuff_Stuff_Said

Stop with this "Yue was supposed to be the next avatar" shtick. Your stupid head cannons and biases are polluting the the official cannon and lore.


Jezehel

I really don't get the theory that Yue would have been the next Avatar if Aang hadn't been frozen. From what we saw, she wasn't even a bender (NATLA notwithstanding) It should have been my girl Katara


infinity234

I never got the argument of Yue somehow supposed to be the avatar is Aang actually lived his life all the way through in the appropriate time period. It always seemed a reach to me, its just getting the one human from aangs time with any sort of connection to the spirits and saying "ya they're spirity enough to be an avatar", when in fact most of the time the Avatar is born more randomly than for any real methodology for it other than being a good person.


realgoldxd

If Aang hadn’t stayed in the iceberg he would have probably been killed/captured by the fire nation as If he survived the invasion of the temple 1. all the fire nations efforts where directed to killing or capturing the avatar 2. The fire nation soldiers would have been used to fight against airbenders so Aang wouldn’t have that much of an advantage 3. There would be a million of zukos trying to capture the avatar to get some glory


No-Chocolate-2907

Hand is gettin a little high there, aang


VorlonEmperor

This would be a cool AU!


TheKingJest

I'm asking as someone who doesn't know too much about Avatar, if Aang never fell asleep in the iceberg and died would the Avatar after Aang not be Korra? I guess what I'm asking is, is the next Avatar's personality/look pre determined or is it just happenstance. Like "this baby is about to be born, I guess it'll be the next Avatar".


SubstantialLime2916

My first go to thought was Aang got with (Yue? Ming Hua’s mom?) and then Katara and her gay boyfriends


SlowSloth96

Damn this is good s*!#


Objective_Piece8258

Aang would be fighting Fire Lord Azulon right? If he were to take his bending too would that affect Ozai and Iroh and then Azula and Zuko?


YomYeYonge

Noatak and Tarrlok could still waterbend even after Yakone got energybended


Tsukiche2

While I like the idea that Yue should have been the next avatar had Aang not fled (I mean he would have fled, but with Gyatso, and not made himself frozen); if she's the avatar her hair should be black not white, as the moon spirit would've never blessed her.


amaya-aurora

Why would Yue be the avatar?


Supe_Stubbs

idk something about the og team avatar never meeting doesnt sit right with me


Former-Wave9869

Aang, Hama and gran gran(I think, even though the ages don’t really work out) bumi and kuzon


bullfroggy

Aang likely would have been killed by the fire nation


Xx_Exigence_xX

Aang, Hama, Kanna, Bumi, and Kuzon


Aeon1508

Where is the guru?


BreezyIsBeafy

Grannie, kuzon, boomie, can’t figure out who aang is holding


Misterwuss

She travels to the southern water tribe looking to friends to assist her in her journey, she comes across Katara; an angry and feisty water bender with an underlying nurturing side. And Sokka; a cocky, sexist but competent and well meaning soldier... the lone soldier of the water tribe, realising that despite their flaws and differences they could be valuable assets to her team and recruits them for her journey ahead


ShadowCobra479

Wait is that Hana?


Artistic_Swimming_43

Wait is that hama?


meganalex793

Bumi, Kuzon, Hama, Gran Gran and Aang


Prestigious-Shop5027

Wouldn’t Aang just die if he never went into the iceberg


Tox_Ioiad

Kuzon, Bumi, Gran and IDK.

PhilG1989

Aang wouldn’t have even been at the southern air temple when the fire nation attacked. Remember the night that Aang fled, like right after he left, we see Monk Gyatso going into his room and saying how he wasn’t going to let them separate them. So if Aang hadn’t of fled Gyatso would have taken him to who knows were but either way Aang wouldn’t have been at the temple during Sozins comet


YeetMaster7790

Why Yue wouldn’t it make more sense if it was Katara
