I never noticed this until now but Aang lived in a time where the Fire Nation was still peaceful. It must have felt like a stab in the back to discover that a nation he respected and adored just as much as the others destroyed his entire civilazation
Maybe. But I believe it would be like "This is not the Fire Nation I once knew and loved." So it technically wouldn't be a stab in the heart? I mean yeah it would hurt knowing his beloved Fire Nation died 100 years ago, but it is also a relief knowing his Fire Nation isn't doing the wrong that we see.
Wasn't the Fire Nation already planning to start wars back when Avatar Roku was still in business? Sozin, or whatever the firelord's name at the time was, wanted to conquer the world. Roku wooped his ass and slowed his plans down, but he didn't stop Sozin, which ended up being a mistake that eventually cost Roku his life. And then the conquest still happened. They just took advantage of the fact that the Avatar suddenly disappeared. With no new Avatar to get in their way, conquering other nations suddenly became much easier. Maybe not a full out war yet, but since it all started with Sozin in the days of Roku being the Avatar, the Fire Nation would have been rumbling with the drums of war by the time Aang was a kid. He just didn't notice it because he was just a kid, at the time.
@@Xylarxcode but what we can get about Roku story is that the Fire Nation before Sozin was peaceful and famous for it's dance and cultural plays but Sozin destroyed these things because he wanted the Fire Nation to be serious and known for his military and fighting accomplishments
@@Eric-py8yy It's like realizing that the place your Overseas friend comes from has become a Dictatorship that destroyed everyone and everything you have ever known and loved
To be honest I think the quintessential “Aang is an old man” moment, is when he admits to Sokka and Katara that the story he told the two tribes about the great divide was something he just made up. I feel like it’s such a thing, just being like “what, are they gonna disprove it? They weren’t even born yet, who cares?”
I never thought about it before but Aang's story is so sad. Imagine waking up one day and everyone you know has been dead for decades and the entire world is on fire.
When he woke up he didn’t know that he went to go learn water bending he only found out later and calmed down after katara told him he still had family.
What's more impressive to me is how much Aang has already traveled at 12 years old. He mentions so many places and old friends all around the world. He says stuff like "I used to visit this place all the time" which means that not only has he been around the world, but he has also visited those places multiple times, all in his childhood years.
And that's also what made the air nomads so spiritual, no? Because they engaged with all the cultures meaningfully. They learned wisdoms from all walks of life. The other people with this kind of wisdom are similar. Like uncle Iroh who has studied other nations and incorporates water ending techniques into his firebending I think that's a really nice lesson
Bro imagine being a student at that fire nation school. Some kid shows up to your school, starts using 100 year old slag, picks fights with the history teacher, the music teacher, and the most popular guy on campus, then throws the best party you've ever been to in a cave and then f*cks off, all within a week. He must've been a legend among those kids
@@luicain2535 …. No, not even remotely. The only “n word” that wasn’t always a slur was negro, and that’s still not actually a slur, it’s just “black but in Spanish.” It’s like the word cat, which was an actual slang word for other people.
I feel like a huge point that we’re all missing is that when aang was a younger kid, the world was so much more magical, mystical, and wholesome. There were dragons flying around all the time, more water in fountains, and kinder people that loved and respected each other.
What does it tell you about a show that’s almost 15 years old when clips of it still get thousands of views in a matter of hours? Yep, it’s a masterpiece.
There seriously needs to be a prequel set during the time of Aang’s early life. Maybe not with him as the main character, but just with him popping up occasionally would be cool.
Just think about it, Aang is actually older than Iroh, Pakku, Kanna and all the other old people alive during the last airbender. And he would be almost 200 yrs old by Korra's times and he just only have grandkids he never got to see.
The original vision for the show would've made him even older. The first concept was that Aang would've been in the iceberg for a *thousand* years rather than just a hundred. He would've woken up in a cyberpunk world where the Fire Nation had been ruling for centuries.
Imagine you're just minding your business and some 12 year old starts speaking in old-timey slang like "What ho, my good boy!" That scene is just so funny to me.
I guess the monks trusted him to look after himself with Appa's help. He was a master air bender by like 10 (hence the tattoos) so they probably just let him go explore
i will never get over the fact how sad it was watching the show while having in mind aang as 112 years old kid instead of 12 years old, the ATLA story was cheerful in it's silly tone most of the time, but they never gloss over the fact aang is supposed to be dead, he should not exist, his people and everything knows of has change drastically, and i can't comprehend that...he got along soo well for his age in a whole basically where everything change, if it were me i'd have mental breakdown every time i realize i was the last of my people, he stay so brave and kind the whole show,, and that's why aang is my favourite, this boy had special place in my heart
Just listen to the sound of Aang’s voice from the beginning and the end of the video. Bryke is lucky that Zach Tyler Eisen’s voice didn’t drop before the show ended lol
It matured a little, and I like that, because the story itself seemed to mature aswell. At first it was sad, but quite light hearted for the most part before reality struck. By the end, the fate of the earth and water benders was at stake, and he had massive pressures from saving them to also dealing with hardships in his relationship with Katara. Tellin' ya, that story was INTENSE at the end
I think his voice did drop in season 3 but they had to change the pitch a little. Because i remember watching this tiny clip of season 3 aang speaking that wasn’t in the show and his voice sounded even deeper than how it actually is in season 3.
Oh trust me, that Traveler back in the Desert Oasis wasn't wrong; Aang really was a *Living Relic!* With the status of a 112 year old boy and the last of his kind to boot!
0:53 “Unless you were there a hundred years ago” *The tattoos start glowing, the Avatar State theme kicks in and suddenly the voices of all the Avatars combined:* _”Yes, I was there!”_
This show was so fucking good. People love magic, people especially love "the four elements" type of magic - and ATLA brings the elements together with asian culture, mythology and great story telling. That's why this show is ageless
@@Anonymous_Gambito or it’s one of those things were it’s he’s 12 now and his “kid” stages were anything younger than like 10. As a kid I use to do that referring to myself at a slightly younger age
I think during Aang's time as a child, there were wars going on between Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom. Sozin started claiming earth kingdom territory after Roku died. The air nomads were out of touch with the world so they were unprepared for a Fire Nation attack.
No, the monks told Aang about his destiny early because they "saw troubling signs" and feared imminent war. But the massive invasion and ruthless genocide aided by Sozin's Comet most likely took everyone by surprise.
Imagine you’re a 12 year old kid in 1924 living a happy and carefree life, suddenly you go unconscious walking out in the wilderness, and then one day you wake up completely unchanged in the world of 2024 by two modern kids and learn that many wars happened and all of your friends and family are dead.
He may be 112-114, but lowkey seeing the character maturation of a boy from 12-14 was everything. It's always so heartbreaking to see Aang have less of that impishness in the 3rd season since he was about to deal with some real shit, but it fits as it should. And the voice lowering was a kind of a clue too, but oh the little details that become so much more noticeable with our freedom to binge 😭
I feel like Aang seeing his homeland for the first time in a long time is like an adult coming back to their old elementary school where they made precious memories.
Except Aang's people were murdered by an enemy they once thought was a friend. Captain America lost every person he knew, but still saved the day, saved his nation, and had a people and culture he could (to some extent) identify with. He lost a lot, but it was lost saving the broader vision of America. Aang's entire life, culture, and nation were just destroyed in the blink of an eye.
Airbenders were the symbol of freedom after all. Plus, he gets that behavior from his ancestors as they lived on top of a flying Lionturtle before The Era Of The Avatar. And the Lionturtle would fly around the world to stay hidden from the spirits in the Spirit Wilds. So it only makes sense that he was a very curious child that learned to never stay in one place for too long. After all, that’s how he stayed alive with Team Avatar throughout the original series.
@@lifeiscats1337 when aang was a kid before they dont live on top of lion turtles and they werent at war yet with fire nation so they didnt need to hide. but he probably traveled a lot with other airbenders to some places like that ice in the desert oasis place
It's kinda weird that he still talks like people who live 100 years later. Like, does someone from the 20s still use the same words like we do today? Don't think so
Just a guess but I think the war caused a stagnation of progress, the other nations were so busy fighting back they couldn’t really advance in much place else. Only the Fire nation could afford to do that, so maybe that’s why they have more high tech ships and tanks, and the words they use seem to be different from when Aang was last there, like “flameo hotman”
@@linatwoones that’s a thing the writers worked which we can appreciate but let’s be honest, all the past avatars speak the same way Aang does so obviously it’s all about the understanding for the viewer more than trying hard to be authentic. Avatar series is as good as it is on its own so that’s nice but we can’t expect it to be perfect with such nuances as the change of language over the years and even places. To be fair if they did work on that we wouldn’t be able to hear the past avatars speak to the newest one, they would have to keep it as some sort of spiritual connection and showing memories only and more to that, we wouldn’t even hear the four nations speaking with one another easily either
@@JustynaMajcher yeah. It’s like when someone from another world or another dimension can easily speak the same language as characters from the world they visit. That never really made sense to me but I understand it’s for the viewers or readers sake
We all know that Aang is actually 112 or so years old Because of this stupid Iceberg incident Which actually saved both Aang's life and the entire world!
When Katara goes out for revenge, Aang talks about forgiving her mother’s killer, comparing it to his trauma. So did Aang at some point *forgive* the Fire Nation for wiping out his people?? That seems like a massive character beat to just skip over
Technically yes he did. Its not like he ended up hating the fire nation as a whole and even bacane freinds with some of them. Its not like one person killed his nation.
Being an air nomad, and a little kid, you gotta forgive at some point. Besides, he was trying to blend in, and if he expresses hatred towards the FN then it'll seem sussy.
They talked about it at the end of the Avatar Roku episode, after Toph said"It's like those people were born evil" and Aang response was "No, (...) everyone have a good side and a bad side" Also just because a bunch of people where evil doesn't mean that everyone in the nation is the same, take for example Hamna that ended up imprisioning innocent fire nation civilians just because of the same thoughts...
Literally me and my Grandpa’s conversation Aang : it’s just like old times isn’t bumi? Bumi : Aang, I need to talk to you!! aang : ITS GOOD TO SEE YOU TOO
Aang is like if some guy walked in on your high school prom, calls all the girls 'doll' and tells you that the music is the cat's meow before charlestoning his way outta there
Aang is such an old soul. Literally. His soul has been around for over 10,000 years. Not to mention the Avatar State is literally him using the experiences he gained during his past lives.
I know this video is about Aang, but Zuko.🤣🤣🤣 1:15 [Aang] "There were lots of dragons when I was a kid"😯😯🤔🤔 He like: "Well they're not around anymore!!😡😡" 😁😁Idk why I love it when he's mad

This show was so fucking good. People love magic, people especially love "the four elements" type of magic - and ATLA brings the elements together with asian culture, mythology and great story telling. That's why this show is ageless

1:02 rip them kids being lied to
This video is the definition of what the life action series is missing.
"And there were dragons when I was a kid"
Me: you still look like a kid
This line can either be interpreted as some sad "He was forced to grow up too fast :(" thing or a "I turned 13 so now I am an ADULT" thing
Chronological age can be different from biological age.
@@Anonymous_Gambito or it’s one of those things were it’s he’s 12 now and his “kid” stages were anything younger than like 10. As a kid I use to do that referring to myself at a slightly younger age
@@Eli-akad I was doing that when I was 9 referring to my 5 year old self
That line reminds me of HTTYD, anyone else? 😭
This is the one time and old man saying “by in my days things were better” actually is true
I think during Aang's time as a child, there were wars going on between Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom. Sozin started claiming earth kingdom territory after Roku died. The air nomads were out of touch with the world so they were unprepared for a Fire Nation attack.
@@Snowberries17 yeah but that's better still. Goes to show how bad it is in the avatar world
No, the monks told Aang about his destiny early because they "saw troubling signs" and feared imminent war. But the massive invasion and ruthless genocide aided by Sozin's Comet most likely took everyone by surprise.
Until that one dude decided to fuck it up
Except older is still better. People had more inteligance 100 years ago
2:00 😯😯Goodness. The maturity in his voice
0:31
A "pristine" example of global warming.
Imagine you’re a 12 year old kid in 1924 living a happy and carefree life, suddenly you go unconscious walking out in the wilderness, and then one day you wake up completely unchanged in the world of 2024 by two modern kids and learn that many wars happened and all of your friends and family are dead.
Damn ,so like blud missed everything 💀😭😭
All scenes at the Southern Air Temple are so sad. Aang comes back to a dusty old lonely graveyard that used to be his childhood home.
“You’re a living relic” Destruction 100
When someone compliments me on my athletic ability: 0:07
that's what she said

Meanwhile I’m dying in gym class after a light jog.
He may be 112-114, but lowkey seeing the character maturation of a boy from 12-14 was everything. It's always so heartbreaking to see Aang have less of that impishness in the 3rd season since he was about to deal with some real shit, but it fits as it should. And the voice lowering was a kind of a clue too, but oh the little details that become so much more noticeable with our freedom to binge 😭
aang: im gay
katara: you what
aang: what? i just said im happy
katara: *silence*
Me: BAHAHAHA
This yong folks rlly dont get it, back in 3000 years ago dragons were just chilling and minding their own buisness
But everything changed, when the fire nation re-wrote their biodiversity policies.
1:25 a tear dropped.....
Alternate title : aang remembers he was a boomer
He wish he was a boomer
He is great generation level old
@@dinamosflams man he is a boomer in a child body
I didn’t realize Aang said “and there were plenty of dragons when I was a kid” until now. Lmao.
I love how Aang made friends from all nations and frequently uses his knowledge of the past to unite everyone
I feel like Aang seeing his homeland for the first time in a long time is like an adult coming back to their old elementary school where they made precious memories.
Just one scene in this compilation is better than the entire last airbender movie.
The what?
How can you be better than something that doesn't exist?
Silly you! There’s no Last Airbender movie in Ba Sing Se!
uhmm what movie?
There is no movie in Ba Sing Se.
The more I think about Aang sounds a lot like Captain America.
Omg yes
They both were in iceberg
Except Aang's people were murdered by an enemy they once thought was a friend. Captain America lost every person he knew, but still saved the day, saved his nation, and had a people and culture he could (to some extent) identify with. He lost a lot, but it was lost saving the broader vision of America. Aang's entire life, culture, and nation were just destroyed in the blink of an eye.
@kpuda7722 Remember though, Peggy was Steve's whole world. When he lost her, he lost everything.
Aang, “Back in my day...”
Nobody:
Sokka, “Boomer Aang!”
0:26 aang must have traveled a lot with airbenders when he was young coz he has been to a lot of places already
Airbenders were the symbol of freedom after all. Plus, he gets that behavior from his ancestors as they lived on top of a flying Lionturtle before The Era Of The Avatar. And the Lionturtle would fly around the world to stay hidden from the spirits in the Spirit Wilds. So it only makes sense that he was a very curious child that learned to never stay in one place for too long. After all, that’s how he stayed alive with Team Avatar throughout the original series.
@@lifeiscats1337 when aang was a kid before they dont live on top of lion turtles and they werent at war yet with fire nation so they didnt need to hide. but he probably traveled a lot with other airbenders to some places like that ice in the desert oasis place
@@TioC-L-S yeah… or he gets the behavior of curiosity and traveling from his forebears.
I mean that’s kind of the point of being a nomad
Some say that people become kids again when they get older
“Your a living relic”
“Thanks.i try”
It's kinda weird that he still talks like people who live 100 years later. Like, does someone from the 20s still use the same words like we do today? Don't think so
Eh.
Just a guess but I think the war caused a stagnation of progress, the other nations were so busy fighting back they couldn’t really advance in much place else. Only the Fire nation could afford to do that, so maybe that’s why they have more high tech ships and tanks, and the words they use seem to be different from when Aang was last there, like “flameo hotman”
@@linatwoones that’s a thing the writers worked which we can appreciate but let’s be honest, all the past avatars speak the same way Aang does so obviously it’s all about the understanding for the viewer more than trying hard to be authentic. Avatar series is as good as it is on its own so that’s nice but we can’t expect it to be perfect with such nuances as the change of language over the years and even places. To be fair if they did work on that we wouldn’t be able to hear the past avatars speak to the newest one, they would have to keep it as some sort of spiritual connection and showing memories only and more to that, we wouldn’t even hear the four nations speaking with one another easily either
@@JustynaMajcher yeah. It’s like when someone from another world or another dimension can easily speak the same language as characters from the world they visit. That never really made sense to me but I understand it’s for the viewers or readers sake
@@JustynaMajcher or like when the main character visits another country with a different language but there’s no language barrier whatsoever
1:46 They look so concerned lol
its like you sleep and the moment you wake up its a different world for aang
As expected, the leader of the boomerang squad, boomer-Aang👍
Could you imagine waking up one day and 100 years have passed and you’ve lost all your culture ? He is so strong and brave ❤️
culture died like 10 years ago so i’d be okay with that.
@@beatsbyelvis6890 eh more or less around the time the internet started taking off.

@@rebeccamichael626I know
When Katara goes out for revenge, Aang talks about forgiving her mother’s killer, comparing it to his trauma. So did Aang at some point *forgive* the Fire Nation for wiping out his people?? That seems like a massive character beat to just skip over
Technically yes he did. Its not like he ended up hating the fire nation as a whole and even bacane freinds with some of them.
Its not like one person killed his nation.
Being an air nomad, and a little kid, you gotta forgive at some point. Besides, he was trying to blend in, and if he expresses hatred towards the FN then it'll seem sussy.
Well he also referred to old friends he had in the Fire Nation so it’s clear he knew the good side of them before everything went down
She is kinda stupid and hypocritical for trying to get revenge it won’t being back someone you love
They talked about it at the end of the Avatar Roku episode, after Toph said"It's like those people were born evil" and Aang response was "No, (...) everyone have a good side and a bad side"
Also just because a bunch of people where evil doesn't mean that everyone in the nation is the same, take for example Hamna that ended up imprisioning innocent fire nation civilians just because of the same thoughts...
Literally me and my Grandpa’s conversation
Aang : it’s just like old times isn’t bumi?
Bumi : Aang, I need to talk to you!!
aang : ITS GOOD TO SEE YOU TOO
Oh no! Aang is developing dementia!!! I told him those ice creams were gonna take a number on him.
Aang is like if some guy walked in on your high school prom, calls all the girls 'doll' and tells you that the music is the cat's meow before charlestoning his way outta there
the "hotman 🤝" gets me everytime PLSS 💀💀
1:10 There were also plenty of airbenders, but they aren't around anymore either.
Lmaooooo
I actually would have loved to see the ice spring back when it was still "one of nature's wonders"
Same.
LMAO when I saw that "aang reading the video title" part I knew it'll be a masterpiece
Aang teaches us all that a full life is not defined by how long the life lived but by the quality of the life lived.
Avatar is such a good show
So true back in my days everything was different
0:34 man that's pretty relatable and sad, imagine you visiting the park you always loved or a place you liked and see that was closed or was gone
Hotman... Hotman... Hotman... Hotman
Aang is such an old soul. Literally. His soul has been around for over 10,000 years. Not to mention the Avatar State is literally him using the experiences he gained during his past lives.
“Young whippersnappers” always gets me 😭😟
“What about our tribe’s redemption ritual” ~ triggered guy from the Gan Jin
“That’s... what the game was called: Redemption” ~ Aang (not sus AT ALL)
The fact that Aang lost his home his people and his culture has been wiped out he took that pretty well considering everything
I know this video is about Aang, but Zuko.🤣🤣🤣
1:15 [Aang] "There were lots of dragons when I was a kid"😯😯🤔🤔
He like: "Well they're not around anymore!!😡😡" 😁😁Idk why I love it when he's mad
“Wow I haven’t clean my bedroom in a hundred years “
Me: I feel your pain
Aang and Steve Rodgers would be great friends
