There is one criticism of Avatar The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra that I see pop up time and time again, I feel, is just supremely unfounded. Every few months somebody tweets about how Legend of Korra made Aang a TERRIBLE father, and how it’s the worst thing the show could have done. Some even go so far as to say that he is an ABUSIVE father, calling it CHARACTER ASSASSINATION. And to that, I have to say, have words lost all meaning? Have we lost all sense of nuance in our media literacy? Are we THAT afraid to let our heroes have shortcomings? So today I’m gonna explain why Aang is not a terrible father, but a FLAWED one, and break down exactly how the character’s history and role in the world perfectly explain his shortcomings.
