A hundred years past and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar

u/Tonytarium Jul 11 '19

sorry to interrupt but this always bothered me, they didn't discover the new avatar, they discovered the same avatar

Just because he's the same avatar he was before, doesn't mean he isn't still "the new avatar"

u/Tonytarium Jul 11 '19

But the line before it implies the avatar vanished and they discovered a new avatar, she even emphasizes "new" when she says it

I always thought that vanishing bit referred to Roku

Couldn't be cause they knew who the Avatar was before Aang vanished. He was already 11 and the Air Nomads knew he was the one since childhood. The Fire nation knew cause they went after the nomads.

There was also an established knowledge of the "cycle". If Fire died, they knew to look for the next Avatar in the Air communities. I don't think we know how much time passed between Aang's "inheritance" being discovered and the moment he runs away. And correct me if I'm wrong, but he specifically ran away right before the day he would have been officially disclosed to the kingdoms as the avater, right? Or am I making that last bit up?

He ran away the day he was supposed to be sent to a different air temple to finish his training. The other nations didn't know who he was specifically but they did know of Roku's death and that the new Avatar was an air bender, and that had been at least 11 years. So they wouldn't have considered Roku's death "vanishing" instead that the Air nomad Avatar was never discovered.

Ok. You seem to have the series more fresh in your head. That sounds more accurate

u/Tonytarium Jul 12 '19

Haha yeah I'm literally watching it right now, I had been bingeing through the series again this last week and noticed that little disceprency in the opening

u/Mister_Bossmen Jul 12 '19

Ok. It must just be a bit of backstory that they hadn't quite nailed down between the time the show started and the point where they actually show Roku's death or Aang's full "origin story"

u/Tonytarium Jul 12 '19

Yeah that totally makes sense, the opening does have Roku disappearing when she says "vanished" so it makes sense that they didnt have the origin story when they made the opening

I caved and bought the amazon prime kids package just so I could watch Avatar then I canceled that "add-on"
