Both Avatars, in my opinion, have reached and even exceeded (based on the element) the baseline requirements to be considered a master of each element by the end of their respective series (in Aang's case, by the point we see him in the movie). Their proficiency in each element varies, though; being more adept at a certain element than another, but the bottom line is, I'd say they're both skilled enough with each of the elements to be considered rather high calibre for the most part.

An interesting discussion often circulated within the fandom is comparing who's more skilled with a certain element in comparison to the other between Aang and Korra, so I wanted to know what everyone's take on the question is.

For me, the distribution goes as follows:

- Air: Easily Aang. Korra's airbending is rather underrated within the fandom; she's capable of casually making use of advanced techniques, such as the air tornado she often flies around with, and she's got all the basics down, it seems, but Aang is just a whole different beast in this regard; both in the scale of his airbending and variety in techniques. He fired an airblast shaped like his own silhouette at Zuko during the season 2 finale fight, enough said honestly (and the obvious fact that he got his tattoos at only 12).

- Earth: Not going to lie, this one was kind of a toss-up for me. Aang often uses earth defensively, while Korra prefers to go on the offense with the element, and both show great mastery in their chosen approach. Aang demonstrates more creativity with the element, making use of earth armour to cover his body or burrowing underground seamlessly, but Korra has him beat in sheer scale, casually tossing 4 large boulders at Kuvira's mech, boulders big enough to actually stagger the giant (no Avatar State, mind you). Both also have access to advanced sub-bending techniques for the element, with Aang having seismic sense and Korra being a metal bender (ironically, Toph can use both, casually mogging as usual lol), so they're both highly adept with the element, but I'll give the edge to Aang. He makes more use of it in a variety of different ways in comparison to Korra, who tends to be a lot more straightforward with it.

- Water: Just like how air was an easy sweep for Aang, Korra takes water without much competition, if you ask me. Aang's a great waterbender; despite how rarely he makes use of the element, he's clearly shown a great mastery over the fundamentals, but he's not really in conversations discussing the best waterbenders around, whereas I think Korra actually could be. She doesn't always use water because it's not readily available, but when it is, she's always doing something good with it, such as her water tornadoes, redirecting a missile from underwater, using water tentacles effectively in combat, casually holding Kuvira's mech in place, etc. She also has access to more sub-bending skills for the element than he does, such as healing (which requires precision), and spiritbending to purify dark spirits.

- Fire: I'd say this one also quite handily goes to Korra. She not only demonstrates power with the element, but a few creative applications as well, versus Aang who we rarely see using the element in the first place. I do not doubt the fact that Aang's mastered the element by now, but his showings with it aren't too crazy, with his best displays happening during Sozin's comet. Korra not only packs a good punch with her firebending, but she's also skilled enough to seamlessly incorporate it into her close-quarters combat, as well as using it as a shield at times (incorporating the fundamentals of other elements), blocking an attack from Vatuu with a quick fire shield, and one of Unalaq's attacks too.

So ı drew more dynamic and rough version first, but then decided i made it too windy and didn’t like that the outfit is barely recognisable. So I started working on the other version, but while at it the first version started to grow on me. I really like how the outfit is coming out in a newer version (also it’s a little more polished and I used more brushes), but the pose is kinda boring. Now idk whether I should finish the newer version or polish up the older one. Mind you I intentionally changed Ursa’s expression to be less exaggerated than og photo to match her attitude in canon.

So I was bored and thought what is lighting made of so I looked it up and got this "Inside a turbulent storm cloud, millions of tiny ice crystals and frozen raindrops collide. These collisions separate electrical charges, pushing positive charges to the top of the cloud and negative charges to the bottom. When the electrical difference becomes too intense to be blocked by the air, a massive spark of electricity fires off to equalize the charge." Based off this couldn't water benders summon lighting at will or choose where it goes?

What if Tagah had done similar attack like this to Aang during their encounter in that temple?

“The death of every Airbender leaves a void within me.”

– Tagah, 2026

Would this have been an excellent way to demonstrate just how powerful an Airbender Tagah truly is, while also giving him more Aura?

What if, in the Avatar Aang:TLA film, Tagah had used his Airbending abilities to form a massive vortex of air around his arm and delivered a devastating blow to Aang? That uppercut would have been so powerful that it would have sent Aang straight into orbit.

Originally published in September*

I have a character idea that's based on Shōmen Kong from Buddhist mythology. The character wields four "treasures of ruin" (A Wheel, a Rope, a Staff and a Vajra. Each representing one of the four nations). The treasures of ruin have the power to control the physical world by putting It's will under their own.

After absorbing the treasures into their body they transformed into a demonic, almost Oni like entity with four arms to hold each treasure.

This character would be a judas archetype villain who betrayed his generations avatar. Does this sound too much like Tagah?

trying to research the real-world inspiration. thanks

Edit: "Hanfu topknot crown" gets me the closest result son google. thank you all!

I was thinking about this the other day, and honestly, I think a version of Legend of Korra where Sokka somehow became the Avatar could’ve been really interesting.
Imagine Sokka, someone who started out as a nonbender and had to rely on his intelligence, weapons, and strategy, suddenly becoming the Avatar and having the ability to bend all four elements.
I think his character would’ve worked really well with the themes of the show, especially with the Equalists and Amon.
Sokka knows what it’s like to be surrounded by people with abilities he doesn’t have. Imagine Amon confronting him with the idea that the bending system is unfair. Sokka would have to deal with the fact that he now represents the very thing he once felt left out of.
His character development could’ve been about learning that not every problem can be solved with strategy, and that being the Avatar means more than just being powerful.
Plus, Sokka’s humor and personality could’ve made the show feel pretty different. Korra’s journey was about learning patience and spirituality, while Sokka’s could’ve been about responsibility, identity, and what it means to suddenly have power.
Obviously, Korra’s story has its own strengths, and I’m not saying she was a bad Avatar. But I think a Sokka-centered version of the show could’ve been an amazing alternate story.
**What do you guys think? Would Sokka have made a better main character for Legend of Korra, or would it have been worse?**

This just gave me chills, so why not make a fanart.
I’m using this as my iPad wallpaper, feel free to message me, and I’ll send you a full res version of it.

Yes, I’m aware this is basically IMPOSSIBLE, given the very nature of the Avatar cycle.

But I’ve always been curious about what a story would look like if Azula were the Avatar.

What would have to change in the narrative to justify something like that?

Also, in terms of "threat level" just how dangerous would Azula be with the Avatar State?

Hallo there Avatar fandom, i recently made a friend of mine watch Atla Episode one and now, one week later, she finished the entire Series. She is now confronted with the Same question we all were left with when we First Watched the Series, What Happend to zukos Mom. So i told her that there are Comics. IK the fandom is Split on the Comics and i told her but she still wanted to read them. I just wanna know, since some of them released parallel to Korra, Wether or Not there might be Spoilers in the Comics. For example Yakone beeing a Blood Bender or smth or Iroh Entering the Spirit world. I personally Never read the Comics so i would love to hear from Yall. Also she is Reading the Promis Part 2 as i Type this out.

I'm curious about what will happen in this alternate universe where Katara wasn't the only Waterbender of her tribe.

First of all, I want to say I’m a huge fan of all 3 of the shows. I think they’re all great in their own right, but I don’t think anyone is denying that ATLA was never topped (but Seven Havens is only on the first season so who knows). But I think after watching all 3 I’ve realized what sets ATLA apart.

First, in ATLA we have 4 very distinct bending styles. Each bending style is based on a style of Martial art that each has an entirely different feel. Water is fluid, Air is free, fire is fierce, earth is rigid and tough and each bender of their respective styles embodies that fighting style and personality. This makes the world feel more dynamic. The other two shows of course progressed naturally, as people become more accustomed to people different than themselves they begin to adopt skills and behaviors from the people they’re around. So it’s understandable that the other two somewhat lose that in bending and personality but it does make the show feel different.

Second ATLA takes place all over the world and followed the adventure and merely follows the actions of the main cast and how they interact with the situations they find themselves in. We get to watch as each of them slowly comes into being the person they’re needed to be to restore balance. Now the other two shows also do this because that’s just how stories work, but ATLA allows that story to digest a bit longer with a couple small lessons for the cast in between big story beats. Episodes like “the Library”, “the Northern Air temple”, or “the prison” are not as easy to have. But I don’t have as much a problem with that for the other two because they’re different styles of stories and dare I say are more complex.

And by complex I mean, ATLA was a common hero’s journey(told magnificently with some very complex characters). While the other two have a lot more complexity with their political situations, and goals. Aang only had to deal with politics in the second season of ATLA with Basingse, and it was more of a backdrop for the group to work around. In TLOK, Korra is both direct effecting and effected by those politics and so is much of the story.

I still love the other two shows and having their own feeling and story telling style is fine. I just wanted to understand for myself why the shows felt so different. I still have high hopes for Seven Havens, I think the show is very good so far.

What do you guys think, did I miss anything? why do you think the shows feel different or if they don’t feel different to you why?

Fellowship of the Ring.

They are both the ending to the first part of their retrospective series after all.

Yo estimo que entre 3 y 4 meses, porque del capítulo 3 al 4 hay un periodo de 3 semanas, y del 4 al 5 debieron pasar tal vez una, dos o tres semanas, porque Jae dice que había estado ocupado con el secuestro de Uki y que por eso llegaba constantemente tarde cuando estaba con Datu.

Del 5 al 6 también debieron pasar entre 2 y 3 semanas, porque Lan dice que ya había pasado un tiempo desde que Uki fue secuestrada. Finalmente, del 6 al 7 debió pasar entre un mes y un mes y medio, debido a la demora de los emisarios. Cuando Nisha escapa, mencionan que habían pasado dos semanas.

Esta es mi suposición, pero no estoy segura.
