Avatar always was a revolutionary tv series, but I don’t need to tell you that. The fact that there was a sequel, and that the sequel is getting a sequel, and that the series now has books, comics, video games, movies, and even a whole freaking netflix live-action adaption, tells us so. But what was it that made Avatar so great? Was it the lore? Possibly. Was it the powers, music? What was it that made Avatar so legendary? I feel personally that it was the characterization. The series perfectly displayed what it meant to be a responsible youth, the pains of growing up. You still wanna play. You wanna go Elephant Koi Riding, or you wanna duel the Mellon Lord. But then also the series shows that, despite the fun, the comedy, and the one-off adventures with a gang of peace loving minstrels in a cave of love, there’s more adult issues, such as morality, holding to your principles, fighting for or letting go of love, surviving in a world that hates you, a bunch of concepts proceeding to have a head on collision inside of the liminal space we call “Puberty”. When children become adults. The transition isn’t always easy, and Aang himself is the best representation of that for us. The responsibilities of being Avatar taking him away from what he viewed to be his family, his father figure, Gyatso. His inability to accept that responsibility resulting in much death. And finally, that responsibility forcing to break his most deeply held moral belief that any form of killing, no matter how justified, is wrong. Even the past Avatars began to tell him he needed to make a compromise, and so often, the world tells us the same. But Aang got lucky. A Lion Turtle appeared to him and gave him a chance to fulfill his mission without killing anyone. The Fifth Element, Energy Bending. An Element no Avatar had ever possessed before. With it, he stopped Ozai and managed to peacefully neutralize him by taking away the powers he had used to harm others. But… what if Aang never met that Turtle? What if… Aang never learned Energy Bending. Well, enough suspense! Let’s find out!
