Aang using air, especially during the Gyatso scene, I think doubles as him wanting to push everyone away. When the avatar state is activated as a defense mechanism, Aang uses is closest element. He's simultaneously closing himself off, relying on his closest spiritual comfort (air bending), and pushing everything away. This is something really common for people in pain. They push people away, close themselves off, and go to the closest thing that makes them feel safe or comfortable.
The idea of Aang's avatar state going into overdrive witnessing Gyatso is pretty moving. Death is insurmountable so no level of strength would conquer it, but that doesn't mean this child, who's never dealt with death in this manner, won't try.
@@VeguldenZilverling You know whether or not you were looking to evangelize me, it's actually not relevant to the topic at hand, there is no evidence that the Christian belief system existed in the Avatar universe, so in Aang's world death is permanent, and Avatar state or no Avatar state, nothing he could do could bring back his loved one.
@jello7380 sure, but the Avatar universe doesn't exist in some vacuum. This is demonstrable as approximating fact if you consider that ATLA's world building is supported by inspiration of real life cultures. I do concede that those are eastern, but Christianity is not an exempt reality in the East, and hasn't been that for quite some time now. My point is, I think, to consider the ecosystem in which this fantasy/imaginative story partakes through the writers who come up with the story -- a story told through people of our world.
I personally see the avatar state as anger, again, circling back to that "leash your demons, not tame them" quote. For me, the avatar state is anger and hatred and while they can cause destruction, they are also absolutely necessary to drive you to do the right things
Would have loved to see more of the avater state used for a strictly knowledge situation without bending. Like " Anybody know where the secret bending tree of life is" like spiritual gps, certain mentalities or something😂
That was kinda the point of asking past lives what to do with ozai, but seeing more stuff like that is cool. It's featured a little bit more in the books.
15:54 ok this annoyed me a bit, because different creatures can see MORE colors than humans can. "Purple not existing" is kind of a dumb statement (NOT on YOUR part, by the scientists who claim so) because we can prove that purple exists because of flowers and periwinkles (the shellfish) have that pigment in them. That's where that dye color came from. If we look at an actual rainbow, purple is there. The red and blue are on opposite ends of the rainbow so they can't mix together and give the "illusion" of purple. It's there. And I don't claim to know much about chakras, but I do know that the purple that represents the avatar state in that episode is Nirvana, total enlightenment, hence why Aang needed to let go of his earthly attachments to achieve control of avatar state. To achieve Nirvana is exactly that. The purple represents the cosmos and everything beyond because it's beautiful, and such a rare color in nature. Also, I don't remember who made the video or the title, but one guy basically said that Aang didn't need to learn firebending to do the energybending which is WRONG. If he hadn't found that inner peace with fire, his spirit wouldn't have been strong enough to overtake Ozai's. In the show, Ozai represents the fire of the Fire Nation in every evil way. He's terrifying. If Aang was still scared of fire or firebending, he wouldn't have been able to stand his ground against Ozai spiritually. I just had to get that out there because of the whole Tame Your Demons section of the video reminded me of that.
Personally I see the avatar state as something of a visualization of/metaphor for fury. Fury can be many things: an uncontrolled destructive force, a focused and directed wrath against a transgressor, and the internal drive and passion that fuels people who accomplish extraordinary goals. I've felt two of these (and very much hope I never find myself channelng the third). The uncontrolled and destructive rage is a terrible feeling. It's a base and instinctive response to a threat, and can be useful in the limited circumstance of an actual attack against one's person...but it also doesn't care who gets hurt in the process, and that includes the person feeling that rage. It tears you up inside, and just makes you more vulnerable afterwards. I think that's why people with this kind of anger issue can be so self centred - the pain they cause themselves blinds them to the pain they cause others. (That doesn't justify it, and it definitely doesn't mean those who are hurt by it have any obligation to be caring and understanding, it's just an observation.) (My experience with this was limited to lashing out against bullies in grade school, and led to me having some counseling that helped me suppress that sort of anger so that it can be worked over internally and then discussed rationally and civilly if needed. Anger management lessons definitely help...though I also benefitted from getting them as a kid when my mind was more malleable.) In the Avatar State analogy, this is the undirected defensive fury, sometimes lashing out against an oncoming threat, other times just lashing out in search of an enemy to fight. The passionate drive, conversely, is a powerful thing. It lets you get through trials you thought would break you, and pushes you to accomplish incredible things in the face of adversity. It's still not exactly pleasant - it's a kind of passion that tends to be inspired by dire emergencies or intolerable injustices - but it's a useful tool. In the Avatar State analogy, this is the fully realized Avatar at the end, defeating Ozai and quelling the fires of war. The one I've not experienced, and hope neer to, is the vendetta, the hatred and wrath against one who has wronged you and the desire to see them and all they love burned to ash. This is both the spirit/Avatar kaiju scene destroying the Fire Nation fleet and the scene with Aang against the sandbenders. There's enough control to accomplish objectives, finding Appa, not destroying the entire city despite that being easily doable, but...that control is on a knife's edge. There's probably more to this metaphor to analyze, but I'm out of ideas for the moment.
For me, not only Avatar is great, but also your analyzing of it!!! Just watching this video gave me new perspective with lots of nuance while still reminding me different aspects of why I loved the story in the first place (through my own perspective reached by simply watching it). So many thanks to you for developing your skills and putting your work out there!!! 😁 (And, of course, indeed lots of thanks for the people that support you and gives everybody else more of your great content!!!)
Your channel is incredible and you’ve helped me see things in this show I’ve spent years thinking about. Thanks for that ❤ can’t wait for the fire bending video!!
small detail unrelated to the video, at 11:47, you can see Katara sleeping farther down in the hammock, but Aang is farther up almost at the angle he sleeps on Appa. just noticed it and thought it was interesting.
The use of purple comes in fact because the 7th chakra is known by that color. All the chakras in the guru episode are in the same color as they are known for in real life.
I always loved the southern airtempel episode, but when I watched it the last time I had to fight off tears so hard when Aang found Gyatsos remains. In this situation I don't think Aang was actually angry. I think he was just incredibly hurt and confused. It was this moment where he realized (or at least everything starts to click) that there really is a war, that fire benders actually found the air tempels. These horrible and overwhelming emotions that went through his (only 12 year old!!!) mind... And thinking about how you discribed his Avatar state in this scene just made it... even more brutal for me... Aang is in such agonizing emotional pain that is Avatar spirit jumps into fight and survive mode. But there is nothing to fight. There is no target he needs to be protected from. He can't be protected from what he is feeling now. And the thing that actually brings him back, brings him down to earth again, are the loving voices from Katara and Sokka, telling him that they will be there for him. I honestly could start crying again, just from writing this... (insert how avatar so good clip here)
Physics quibble: some purple exists, some does not. Purple is...not really a very precise term, and covers both stuff like the indigo-violet part of the rainbow (a specific wavelength section distinct from blue) and also fuscia, the mix of red and blue but not green pigment that is not a wavelength band but rather a specific combination of two separate bands. (Also it's incorrect to say doesn't exist, that's kinda like saying water doesn't exist because it's hydrogen and oxygen mixed together. Sometimes a thing is an emergent property from combining two smaller discrete things, that doesn't make them not exist. Though I'll definitely grant that the emergent property of being fuscia is definitely far less consequential than the emergent property of being water, and is primarily confined to the effects it has on certain EM detection instruments such as eyes.)
To be honest, in your last video on Hama, I was not completely sure whether you saw power as to be balanced by necessity by the individual and not say an institution. But this video is really, really good. Your analysis seems well informed by the story, and I think I learned. You're doing great work Koroto.
One thing i would like to point out if you don't. is how the season 2 premier with general fong could basically be seen as the voice of the viewers after all the stuff from season 1 finale. i love the show did this as the first episode for season 2 because its basically in a way "addressing" what people could be saying/thinking.
Guru says that he locked his chakra and can't go into avatar state at all, until the finale where we see aang going to the avatar state meaning that he had to open the 7th chakra.
I will forever love multi voice effects on characters. I got lucky with DB doing it with fused characters. I quite enjoy that element of the avatar state for both aang and korra.
When you make the fire bending video please take into account that there must be 2 people to correctly do the dance of the dragons. We know one was Iroh, personally think it was Jong Jong. That is why Roku thought he could teach Anng he did not use anger to control his fire bending he had to keep the leaf from burning up to fast.
When Aang speaks in the avatar state and you hear that second deep voice speak with him it made the avatar state even better. I think since Aang is a boy and well sounds like a boy, and Raava being genderless but having a more ethereal feminine voice they are combined and more gravitas is added to make it sound deeper and show just how powerful it is.
One thing that's I've always wondered is, theoretically could an avatar learn bending from the other avatars in the avatar state? Like draw on it to learn. Instead of travelling and learning from masters they draw on their past lives to learn bending? Just a thought.
i assume thats technically how szeto kyoshi and roku can lava bend they just all copied that info from each other i dont think its a smart move for them to do cuz 1 mastering the avatar state to get to that point is like the last thing an avatar does and having a good control over the 4 elements would help with that and 2 bending is constantly evolving so the avatars not allowing their bending to evolve with the rest of the world would not be very smart for combat and just in everyday use of bending
I think that he could in a way. However it not that he as the human would be in control. He more or less grands his former selves to use there ability in there combined name. I do think as it shows in the series that being in the Avatar state for the human is very exhausting. as he more or less faints do to the enormes energy used. when he calms down.
Ngl it bums me out that we have to consider the avatar/spirit lore introduced in korra as canon. I much prefer the bending myths (earthbending learned from badger moles, fire from dragons etc) and amoral spirits shown in TLA. It felt like writers were phoning it in for korra's spirit world depictions
OY! How do you know my old titles! 👀🗿 If you mean "kiss-curse" - it's a common thing in RPGs and game design to describe things as kiss-curse, as in, it gives you some sort of buff/benefit/powerup, but also has a significant drawback/weakness/requirement.

The avatar state in The Last Airbender was so damn good, every time Aang went into it i got chills and just felt that overwhelming power but in The Legend of Korra its so lame it just doesn't feel like some insane cosmic power it just feels like Korra ate a Mario power up. I hope that in the next Avatar project it feels closer to what the original one was like.
Title still hasn't changed, knew a lot of people wouldn't know the term 😭 It's a common thing in RPGs and game design to describe things as kiss-curse, as in, it gives you some sort of buff/benefit/powerup, but also has a significant drawback/weakness/requirement.

I won't watch a show that doesn't tell me about the characters' pasts. Finding out the Avatar is basically a human host for Raava, this super-old spirit of peace and light, wasn't just a cool moment it was essential. It made the whole story so much better.

Aang glowing up is always the biggest mic drop in the series
You always knew bro was cooking (except book 2 I guess 😬)
Aang going into the avatar state when the sandbenders took appa was peak it was my favorite scene in season 2
IF THEY DON'T ADAPT THAT IN THE LIVE ACTION VERSION I WILL MALD FOR THE REST OF DAYS
@@Koroto They are not going to. They don't want the children to be angry
Also, purple is associated with the 7th chakra, the one representing your spirituality

Aang was about to let go of his con ection with Katara until Azula shot him.
I’m pretty sure he did let go of her, THEN he got shot.
Guru says that he locked his chakra and can't go into avatar state at all, until the finale where we see aang going to the avatar state meaning that he had to open the 7th chakra.
yes it was the actual lighting shot that blocked it after it and the nudge of that rock when the was fighting Ozay it got unblocked again.
1:16 that was the real fire nation throne room. Not “the throne in the earth kingdom colony”

Now i need a video comparing the avatar state philosophy between aang and korra.
Basically just Daniel and Johnny from Karate Kid/Cobra Kai 😂😂
this is the rare case of good world building for avatar state is legit
The moment the glow shows up, immediately turn yourself in
Terraria mentioned 🙏🏾
But if he hasn’t mastered that ability can he use different elements if not harnessing the specific sprint of that avatar?
I think that he could in a way. However it not that he as the human would be in control. He more or less grands his former selves to use there ability in there combined name.
