“I guess you wouldn’t know of fathers, being raised by monks”-Zuko to Aang, “The Avatar Returns”.

I was seriously just thinking this was addressed in episode 2... This makes me wonder how much they really remember or review ATLA before they do these theories.
Came to quote this!
@@ashleyhall1185they sometimes make obvious videos, because not everyone out there know everything.
This comment sounds rude, but it is not meant to be rude, but I am too tired to try to think how to not make it sound rude.
@@IdaSantti that's fair, but they didn't even reference the Zuko quote that basically explains the underlying concept of this theory. It makes me think they missed or forgot it. I often feel that way with their ATLA theories. I think they enjoy the show but aren't as into it as they are into Pixar or Harry Potter. Not everyone can be into everything, so it makes sense, but the ATLA theories just feel really lacking.
Aang was raised by monks and nomads, I think it was established that their culture doesn't focus on biological parents, just a group raising mentality.
Yeah, but they would still HAVE biological parents, otherwise they couldn't sustain their culture for very long.
YOUR REPLY IS THE WHOLE REASON WHY THIS VIDEO SHOUDLNT EXIST
@@gavindinsmoor8196 Yes. They have biological parents. But it's an established part of their culture that who spawned whom doesn't matter, making them all family and making any relationships ones you choose to have/maintain.
@@laser8389 Yeah I know, but still, it's not like they don't have parents, they just don't really care 😂
Air nomads are immune to mom insults 🤣🤣🤣
@@gavindinsmoor8196 LOL exactly! And that's my point, there's no reason to explore who Aang's parents might be because the Nomads themselves wouldn't know (so it would be pointless to try to guess, as there will never be anything close to confirmation) and in-world there has never been any indication that the Avatar's mortal lineage is at all important (we never hear about "Avatar X, great-grandson of Important Person Y" or anything), they're important because they are the Avatar, and anyone can be born the Avatar (provided, of course, they're born in the next Nation in the cycle after the previous Avatar dies, which isn't publicized for international safety reasons until the new Avatar is ready to start Avataring).
“Where’s the anger?” Thank you. While I liked the show overall, I could not pin down what was off about Katara. She’s not angry enough.
I knew it the minute she didn't break open Aangs iceberg with her rage from sokkas misogyny.
Well, I think it's clear they are going for the severe PTSD route, aka FEAR. I mean, in the live action, Katara SAW her mother die. Burned ALIVE. And in a lot of scenes she chokes up before or mid attack because of her genuine fear. I'm sure later on it may turn to anger but how I saw it play out, it looks like her arc may involve her overcoming her fear rather than her rage. Which I think is good as well, at least for THIS interpretation of the story and characters
I know people tend to give Aang a really hard time with his fatherhood, but given how he was raised, in a communal sort of way, where there isn't much of a focus on traditional family structure....It makes sense that he'd be a flawed parent. He absolutely loved his children, and would die defending ANY of them. But him favoring Tenzin is in line with his obsession with tradition and having a hard time before finally accepting change. He and his mentor Roku are similar in that regard; both Roku and Aang feared change just in different ways. Whereas Roku was afraid of the unknown, Aang was afraid of letting go of the past, afraid of moving on and what sort of change THAT meant.
On top of having to clean up the mess after the 100-year war, Aang was busy with all the politics going on with all the three nations. Then after having two kids who aren't airbenders imagine his excitement when his third child finally comes out to be an airbender. And he's no longer the only airbender in the world. All while still not making his other two kids feel less than.
Aang had an impossible mission later in front of him. He was never going to be a perfect father. And has other two kids know that he did his best and they all still found success.
Completely agree. The fan complaint against Aang's less-than-perfect parenting has always felt like pure, unfounded hero worship. (And, moreso, just another reason to complain about LoK. 🙄)
@@fattygamer94 I really hate that the fandom tends to make Aang out to be like Ozai or Toph's parents when that's just not the case. Aang wasn't emotionally abusive or emotionally neglectful. When he was around, he was supportive. He supported Kya coming out. He was proud of what Bumi had achieved. I think if anything, his kids put this world of pressure on themselves, which then turns into projection onto Aang and his status as Avatar.
It really makes me wonder what being the Avatar's kid would be like. I bet Roku would've been a great dad to Rina. I really hope his books retcon the incredibly bad math Bryke did with making Roku Zuko's great grandfather vs several greats down the line. It would imply that Roku had Rina at like 70 then died leaving Ta Min to raise her alone. Plus it puts Ta Min having her well past 50 when your reproductive system quite literally shuts down.
We know that Kyoshi was one of the first recent cycle of Avatars to have descendants as well; her daughter Koko had to feel like the safest child on the planet lol.
Exactly
@@TheRibottoStudios It kinda depends. It’s possible for a 50 year old woman to have a kid. Not common & dangerous, but entirely possible.
As a Native American, I can offer an explanation for Katara and Sokka not having last names
Since they’re based on the Inuit tribe, they’re community is so small there’s no need for last names since they whole point of last names is to keep track of other people
Which is (or was) true for most tribes
Oh I see🤔
They do have inuit last names now, FYI. I lived in an inuit town.
@@seanrendall5495 It does make me wonder at what point did the tribes get so big that they though 'oh hey we should probably give these kids secondary names that their whole family shares so we don't lose track' and who decided on them?
The northern tribe would probably have family names 🤔
In Europe last names were invented around medieval times, mostly due to increase in travel and higher density of people.
When that happend most people gaind a last name based on either their job (Smith, Cook, Fisher, Potter) or place where they live
@@VenusVenom369 i might be wrong here, but afaik the process of introducing last names to a culture from within didn't generally go "we give each family a name" but more like "you're john and you work as a blacksmith, so now you're john smith"; last names often being lifted from the job or role a person had. and, especially in more tribal societies, jobs would tend to be passed down to ones children, so the son of john smith, jack, would also learn to become a blacksmith and thereby get the last name smith, and thus, last names tended to stick with families.
some last names would also be related to nobility, as in, to signify belonging to a noble house. in some societies, this form of last name predates the common folk having last names.
on another note of last names, some cultures, for example nordic ones, use a patronymic system, where the child would get the name of a parent + son/daughter, literally signifying whose kid they were. so, jack wouldn't become jack smith, but instead jack johnson.
generally speaking, changes like this, especially if they come from within a society, don't happen like "we need to roll out this change across our society in this way", but way more gradual. immediate change is usually related to external influences, one example being the freeing of the slaves. as they didn't have last names, they were given the first name of their former master as a last name. so, if you encounter someone whose last name is a first name, they might be descended from slaves.
now, whether the northern water tribe had last names, that's hard to tell. the royal family doesn't seem to have a last name, at least it was never mentioned. given the general origins of last names, that makes it somewhat unlikely for anyone to have a last name in the way we think about it. but, as we see the royal characters being referred to by their titles with their names, i think it's reasonable to assume that at least some members of the tribe might be referred to by their jobs. so, for example, there might be two johns, but one is john the fisher and another is john the smith. they don't have last names, but are still distinguished by mentioning their job with their name.
The Air Nomads were travelers by nature, and the four temples were only inhabited by the younglings still in training and a council of elders. Each temple was also inhabited exclusively by one gender. East and West was females-only, while North and South was males-only. That is pretty much all we know.
So I guess Air Nomads meet each other while traveling the world and that's how new children are born. And then I guess that the Air Nomads leave their children at the nearest temple, based on gender, to be raised by the elders while they travel the world. Not entirely sure how two Air Nomads meet and procreate, nor why it seems like the children never meet their parents. Guess that's just a culture-thing.
More reason to no understand How the Fire Nation could kill all of them.
Seems pretty cold
A few really good fanfics have like a culture thing as "Spring Festivals" to explain children. As in like, going to the opposing gender temple for like fun... if you know.
@mariaana6710 well, they'd be in hiding for the next 100 years, living in fear and losing what freedom means to air. Also the fire nation can systematically hunt/lure them out with traps. A few fanfics do explore these ideas. Like releasing rumours of airbenders to lure the real air nomads to locations for slaughter. From the show, we can already see how quick news of the sky bison/the avatar spreads, Kyoshi island episodes is case in point. Rumours fly pretty fast and far. Hiding also doesn't go very well depending on where you hide or who can sell you out. We had real world examples before.
@@Taigablade Yeah, I was thinking something like that. And, in 100 years of hiding, they must be Lost a lot of their culture and bending, because couldn't practice. So, Aang could be the last air bender in practice.
To be fair, Tenzin did grow up with Air Nomad culture because the Air Acolytes existed, and his wife was one of them. They were people who learned Air Nomad culture and even “mastered” airbending.
What does that mean? Like they know the martial arts without any wind in the punches?
8:20 "Remember one thing: Everyone's your family." -Gerti, _Spy Kids 3D: Game Over_
Dinky Winks is King Bumi with the Omashu delivery system.
I think they mentioned children were raised by monks and there isn’t marriage but they get together and have children, it’s like festival or something, but how do you know who is related to to so you don’t have kids with a aunt or uncle, sibling or other close biological relative, they must have some record, you know the monks tell them this would be unwise you are related
That's what I was wondering.
I wonder if they’re encouraged to pursue relationships or um… flings with people from other nations as a way to bypass this…
I absolutely love the theory of Monk Gyotsu being Aang's grandfather ❤️ but also funny af if the grumpy monk who was against Aang staying with Gyotstu was his g-daddy 😆
I honestly think we have a better understanding of airbenders and the dangers of attachment not by looking at Aang but by looking at KYOSHI…whose mother was an airbender.
I thought that aang didn't meet his parents was known zuko in episode 2 brings it up when while he's holding the aire glider wanting to give it as a gift to ozai quote " this staf would be a great gift for father but i suppose that you wouldn't know what a father is being with the monks " those were hes words more or less
True, but if you read The Chronicles of the Avatar series, then you would find out that the monks and nuns would sometimes have children with each other, which means that Aang obviously knows that his parents existed within one of the air temples, while he was raised in the temple that only had monks. Implying that one or both of his parents agreed to leave him at the temple with only the monks to be trained. In one of Kyoshi's books it was mentioned that there's an air temple that houses only nuns. So my theory is that Aang was born in one of the other 2 temples that is mixed with both monks and nuns, then he was taken to the temple that housed only monks to be raised and trained until he hit a certain age, then he'd be able to travel and potentially even meet his parents.
@@DorkyWolf Isn't one of the Temples a nursery where all the children stay until they're old enough to have a Sky Bison?
@@jagnestormskull3178 That might be true. It's been awhile since I've watched AtLA all the way through, but I think Aang might've mentioned something like that, so it would still help my theory about 2 temples being filled with both monks and nuns, while 1 only has nuns and the last one only has monks.
5:43 "There's no such THING as MAGIC!" *slam*
Yay SuperCarlinBros are talking about avatar !!
11:24 I'm pretty sure Sokka proclaimed himself as Sokka, Son of Hakoda once, which is accurate to how some cultures used 'last' names.
I'm thinking it's uncommon for last names just because of how spread out most people are, the only places where secondary names are needed are big cities.
Sokka used a name with a last name 'fire' while in the Fire nation, he was the brains... maybe he did this to make them sound important.
So glad you're talking about the new atla! Hoping for a long video examining your guys thoughts on it like you do for movies! Love you guys!!!
Lol the "HOAH!" at the very end of the video :'D
My understanding is that there are air nomads and then there are the monks who live at the temples. The nomads roam around everywhere and aren’t benders. But if your child is an airbender you would send them to the monks to learn bending.
Also second comment, I was not super pleased to see Ozai so quickly in the new show.
The build up to his reveal in the original series was such a big part of creating this looming presence, so they're gonna have to work his character A LOT more differently if they're gonna make it work. New show is such a mix of both good and terrible new directions so far.
woulda been nice to get a ty lee and mei introduction, they dont even feel like characters
Since Gayatso said he was Aang’s guardian, I just assumed his parents died when he was young, and he had already come to terms with it. Also, in Appa’s lost days, we get a flashback with Aang and a bunch of other kids with a nun.
So... Aang basically immediately fell for the first girl he laid eyes on. Got it
Haha so true
I was laughing so hard when J jumped onto the table lol 4:35
The ending montage made the, “woohoo!! first try!!!” So much better
So true
I believe the reason for people in the water tribes not having last names is because..they're tribes, like a small group of people. You don't really need the concept of last names when you can just make sure nobody has the same first name
As Aang's parent, I can confirm I exist.
Gyatso being Aang’s grandfather would explain a lot in my opinion 14:30
Edit: thanks for the likes! can we get to 100?
As fun as that idea is you don't need it to explain the relationship. Gyatso was friends with Roku. Aang is The reincarnation of Roku. Even if he didn't know that Gyatso did.
Originally Momo was going to be The reincarnation of Gyatso. They technically dropped that but it's clear the show has a theme of friendships lasting multiple lifetimes.
J, “there’s no such thing as Magic.”
Day 2 of putting out my What if of ‘What if Aang didn’t get trapped in the ice?’ A whole adventure with Bumi, Kuzon, maybe a Kyoshi Warrior or a Swamp/Sand bender as he helps to defend the surviving Nomads and learn his powers to repel Fire Lord Sozin
Or he gets killed by the fire nation cause his abilities aren’t fully realized. Just saying.
@@MD-rl9krthey were pretty unsuccessful when he finally awoke 100 years later, so he'd have a fighting chance. The Fire Nation may have been more focused, but less seasoned 100 years ago plus it would have been much easier to find experts to train him. Dragons still existed for fire, the southern water tribe's benders haven't been systematically depleted, there genuinely is no war in ba sing se, etc
YO THATS ACTUALLY SO SICK, I NEED THIS
@@ecocentriclife they were unsuccesful, but they were also people who have never even seen an airbender before, let alone fight one and also the firebenders had the comet on their side when they attacked
Actually, I always thought the air temples were places for airbenders. But there was plenty of non-airbending air nomads being... well nomads and wandering the world. And any airbender being born would be sent to one of the temples. That kinda mirrors our real world where many children in asian countries do have parents but get sent to buddhist temples for education, spiritual reason or etc..
I'm pretty sure it was established that while not everyone in the other kingdoms were benders, every Air Nomad was an Air Bender. Its part of the spirituality of their lives, where they are connected to the spirit world in such a way that they can all bend
Every Air Nomad were benders, so no non-benders. The Temples, however, were only inhabited by the children still in training, and a council of elders. The rest was traveling the world. But would occationally come to rest at each temple.
@@Lupinemancer87 Yep, like how Yangchen had her room at one of the temples that she was raised on.
2 other people already mentioned how Air Nomads were all Airbenders, so I would like to bring up how Kyoshi mentions in one of her books that there was/is an air temple that houses only nuns, so I think after Aang was born, his parents placed him in the care of monks at a temple that only houses monks. And that the 2 other air temples had both monks and nuns (as seen with Yangchen she was raised in a temple that had both nuns and monks). So, when Aang hit a certain age, he would travel and maybe came across his parents whilst on his travels.
oh thats interesting how did you find this out? @@Lupinemancer87
The way I sat through the entirety of trying to light that match
Love this theory, especially the part where monk gyatso is his grandpa
Awesome as always thanks guys ❤
Love this entire video, especially the ending!! 🥰
An hour and a half. But he got it!
Lol right
I was literally talking about the fact that we never hear of aangs parents yesterday.
I'm pretty sure Zuko of all people brings this up and like the second episode of season one of the animated show when he says you would know nothing of fathers being raised by monks when capturing Aang, so I guess that answers the question he was raised by monks not his parents from a young age, once he was born he must've been taken to the temples, like the two air temples he mentions the most are the north and south air temples so maybe he was born in the north temple by his parents because I think the northern air temple is where the woman lived so maybe she gave birth to him and then he was taken to the southern temple where his father was and got raised by the monks there or maybe he was born in the eastern or Western Temple that had both men and women who knows but I'm pretty sure like I said it was mentioned in the first episode by Zuko, and kind of a main way where he says you would know nothing of fathers being raised by monks, but that's what we get of what happened I guess, that kind of answers the question and so that's probably why a lot of us never really thought about it because it gets answered and like the second episode of the show so there's your answer and you're just made not to really think about it anymore after that it's like oh yeah he was born and then got brought up by the monks probably when they found out he was the avatar and then made friends with all the young kids, one of the biggest mistakes I saw in the first episode of the live action was that there were woman in the southern air temple which is wrong because there was only supposed to be men the northern temple I think is where the woman were so the fact that they blended it was a mistake but then I guess also explains the whole parent thing better like maybe one of those people was his mum, but either way we know what happened to them he was raised by monks and then all the monks died when all the Airbender got killed in the genocide except for Aang and that might've fled, depending on how you feel about Tilly and her heritage.
❤ you guys are beyond amazing! And I love everything you guys produce! Keep up the incredible work you do!
I got this strange urge to explore what it would be like to an air bending family that ditches the nomadic lifestyle and settles in a city, or on a farm somewhere... also, another scenario: what it would be like to be raised as a non bender in an air temple, becaus I could totally see air nomads taking in orphans...
Love your video and keep up the great work you are awesome
Man you guys know what topics I need answers for! I was just thinking about this yesterday.
Gyatso doesn't need to be Aang's biological grandfather in order to be his effective father figure. Found family is just as valid, if not more so.
It's possible that while his parents were part of the Air Nomads, they weren't necessarily Airbenders, we don't know for sure if the concept of Air Acolytes was only introduced in the comics following the series and that weren't any before the Airbenders were wiped out.
I remember reading something from the writers that said that the Air Nomads would meet during ceremonies and could request to be paired with someone from the other gender if they wanted to have a kid, or the elders could also arrange for two air nomads to consumate to have a kid. Not sure how official this is anymore but I can try to find where I read it. But if that's the case that could explain how the airbenders have kids to continue the 'nation'.
You actually did get one thing slightly wrong, when it comes to the air nomad temples, the children remain with the nuns, as the nuns are the ones that birthed them, until roughly the age of I think eight or until they bond with their bison. As we do seeing with the nuns when he bonds with Appa, so it's very possible that the boys will stay with the nuns until they reach a certain age then they go to the respective temples
Thank you for including the last part
I actually had no idea about the new avatar series! Thank you so much for letting me know!!
I always thought the Monks took all the children born around the time the time Roku was killed so they would be certain to have the Avatar in one of the temples to train them properly over time.
Amazing firebending J!😂😂
I absolutely loved the live action show and my only criticism is that Aang's actor seemed to have a stage performance style at times, but it improved over time 🖖😎👍
Oooo this is gonna be good vibes!
I would love to see you guys do What If videos for ATLA.
I like hat they kept the changes minimal, though I think a lot of the Earluy Sexism in Sokka and the world will zap away from the feeling of change that the Avatar brings.
Also... every sexist trope in the OG show was overcome and most of the time the stuck up guy or gal changed their ways.
They took away Grandpaku!
Love your videos
I guess that the Fire Nation royal Family has a last name of “Blaze”
Those last 2 minutes are amazing. 🤣🤣
Can we pretty please get a full review of the live action show from you both??!! My favorite part of the live action was the addition of Zuko’s crew being the 41st Division who Zuko defended in the war counsel and ends up getting banished for 😭😭😭
This makes a lot of sense to me! And I just started the live action ATLA and really enjoying it so far!
The HOH at the end LOL
I highly doubt any of the monks know who their parents are. It would be easier to let go of earthly attachments by the time the four temples were built
I need more bloopers please 😂
Gyatso being Aang's grandfather actually makes a lot of sense. They have similar head shapes and their personalities are extremely similar from what we got to see, Gyatso also gravitated toward Aang specifically even before they found out Aang was the avatar, finding himself pulled toward a child so similar to himself can be attributed to that feeling that some parents get around children they gave up for adoption at birth when they see the child completely randomly - they may not know that's what they're feeling but it is possible to just get that vibe or see something familiar about this person you don't know
I would be interested to know what happened to them. Did they die? Did they just give him to the air temple because he’s the avatar? Inquiring minds want to know
Watching that bit after the video makes me realize how Star Wars did the Jawa voices. Sounds just like one :D
Love the ATLA videos!!! 🌊🏔️🔥💨
The British Royal last name isn’t actually Windsor, it’s Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. They changed it during WW1 because it sounded too German. The current British Royal family has very little British blood in their veins.
Something that would be interesting is if all the new Airbenders from harmonic convergence come from Airbender blood lines. Like if the remaining air nomads took refuge in other nations and gave up air bending and then had kids, those kids would would be non-benders but still have air nomad blood, and then harmonic convergence kinda "awoke" their dormant air bending abilities
i think while they are nomading, they are allowed to co-mingle. Then once they get pregnant they go back to the temples to receive prenatal care and be parents/teachers to the tribe, and maybe they are allowed to go on many nomading pilgrimages.
I watched till the end..... despite the wait, that was really cool no matter how many takes it took
I think the live action was as good as they could have done. No where near perfect, but they had an impossible task and they did a great job.
you’ve thrown me for a tizzy, it definitely couldve been better just by improving the writing for episodes 3-6, and making it less jarring, disjointed and even illogical at times.
Which are 3 words i would never use to describe the original show
just came up with this- imagine katara learning her mom was somehow alive the whole time, just imprisoned
Will you guys be doing a season review of the live action?
aang being related to gyatso would be so beautiful given that gyatso was one of roku's closest friends
Greatest ending to a video ever
At 1:39 it should have been "My cabbages" from the cabbage guy u guys missed that one
Did I just sit through the epilogue with a growing chant and anticipation for J to light it up, yes .yes I did
Hurray for the juicy match
Honestly, i'm kind of upset that they did the whole "Harmonic convergence creates new air benders" thing, and the "Kick the Mechanist and his people out of the air temple" thing.
At the end of Last Airbender, i really thought that the Mechanist's people were going to eventually become a new breed of airbenders due to their embracing of the Temple alongside their own ways. They had invented flying machines based on airbender design, and incorporated air-nomad ideas into their own culture.
Not to mention you also have the Air Acolytes, non-benders who have fully embraced Air-nomad ideals in their own way as well. Given enough time, i could easily see both of these cultures birthing actual airbenders of their own.
Aang could sire whole generations of new airbenders by blood. But both the Mechanist's people and the Air Acolytes i feel could have spontaneously birthed airbenders further down the line, similar to what could have happened with the swampbenders.
But nah, lets just scrub both of those interesting ideas off the table and make a big explosion that turns a bunch of non-benders into airbenders. That's totally better >_>
ngl, I skipped the ad read part, but after seeing the bloopers, of course I had to go back to watch the whole thing
You guys should do an Avatar quiz!
Airbenders are born through air acolytes being impregnated by male Airbenders or by being a female Airbender and giving birth. It's the method of following airbending tradition that gives the child its airbending. I feel like that was talked about before. Also, Rohan is an Airbender. Katara confirmed that I think episode 1... all the kids would need to do, if convergence never happened, is get with air acolytes and their children would be guaranteed airbenders... but yes, that would mean all Airbender came from both aang and tenzin
@supercarlinbrothers
I swear yall aready covered this in a previous video a couple years ago?
FYI British Royal Family today who are descendants of Elizabeth and Phillip use the double-barrelled Mountbatten-Windsor as a family name distinct from the House of Windsor that includes all the male and unmarried female descendants of Queen Victoria.
I always assumed (not sure how much of that is backed up by official lore) that the temples were just one part of air nomad culture. It's where their benders are trained, the rest of them - and benders choosing to not stay at a temple - are just, well, nomads.
In all the other nations we see a lot of non-benders, while everyone living at the air temples seems to be bending...would make sense that there are non-bending air nomads somewhere else.
So once every couple of years the air nomads have a key party in the exact centre of the world. That's also where Sky Bisons come from.
I always thought it’d be pretty cool yet ironic, that decades down the line there ends up being like a sort of Civil War amongst the Air Nation. With some wanting a return to the Old ways & Traditions before the War, and some wanting to continue with the ways that Aang Pioneered. 🤷♂️ Just seems like it’d be a cool thing to explore.
Ah, more Avatar content, I'm here for it! Also, personally I really like live action version. Of course, there are few decisions the writers did that are weird, but I'm curious to see where they are going with this version. I mean, if we get more seasons. I really hope so!
it started and ended on a high note so i’ll give it that
They mention the parents' one avatar return, Zuko say: he mentioned a dad and look Aang face. The second the live action one trashed Aang mentioned air teacher, he kind of dad. Director trying mentioned his Aang's parents 😮
Hey supercarlinbrothers, do you think avatar Wan will appear or be directly mentioned by name
I don't know if this is accurate, but I remember hearing that once a year, the male and female air benders come together in a ceromony, which is where the baby air benders come from. So Aang parents probably only met for one night, and after they "created" Aang, they never saw him or each other again. But I like the idea of Gyatso being Aang's grandfather.
What didn't you like about live action Bumi? I thought they did a good job with that character.
My theory is that the temples are only for benders. I always thought it odd that everyone in the air nation is a bender, while we see both benders and non-benders in the other 3 nations. So the temples are where all benders are sent for training and the rest of the air nation live in regular villages that probably surround the temples on the ground. How else do they have agriculture or anything else these people need that obviously cannot be done at these hard to get to, weirdly set up temples. (this may have been addressed in other materials but I've only seen the cartoon series and the live action series.)
I also find an interesting that it appears that every air nomad IS a bender. Whereas in the other nations you have plenty of citizens who aren't
Harry is the Avatar. What type of bender is Ron, Hermione, & Neville
Hermione - fire (for her signatur bluebell flame), Ron - earth (because he is the most stubborn and unyielding) Neville - water ( because I can see him waterbend all these plants in the greenhoses) and as a bonus I think Luna would be an airbender (she is no doubt the most spiritual).
@maikejahn9130 good point with Luna. I figured Neville would be earth bc the herbology but ya makes sense that he's more push and pull.
Ron and Hermione are both earth I think. They are both very stubborn and non-spiritual.
@@Lightning_Lance I would argue Hermione is more hotheaded she loses her temper quite easily, with Draco, Trelawney, Ron, Rita Skeeter. Also the beetle in the jar is a move I could see Azula do.
It always made sense to me that air nomads dont do tradional families since they have culture where kids are raised by a guardian more
Aang and Kiyatso have a connection because when Avatar Roku went to Air nomads to learn Air bending he was best friends with Kiyatso who was same age group as Avatar Roku.
10:38 I always just assumed Zuko didn't have a last name duet to him being part of the royal family. Instead of a last name they use their parents name, like "Zuko, son of Fire Lord Ozai, son of Fire Lord Azulon" sort of thing. The royal family in Norway doesn't have a last name either, although they sometime use "Rex" as a placeholder if they had too. Princesse Ingrid Alexandra recently joined the military, and because she doesn't have a last name, she goes by "recruit Alexandra"😆. I just assumed it was the same for the Fire Nation royals as well. Still doesn't explain the Water Tribe tho. 🤷
To help explain why last names aren't common, historically there were two reasons surnames came about; importance, powerful people often wanted some name to track their connection to other powerful people; and movement. The biggest boom in last names often come from periods where commoners were somewhat forced to move from their homes to new places; in the UK that was the plague and labour shortages in villages.
Sokka and Katara likely didn't have last names simply because it wasn't normal for them to move from their village, so their village never had a reason to develop a practise of giving surnames; if you ever needed to clarify it would be Sokka, Hakoda's son. Because how many Hakoda's in the village would also have a son named Sokka?
I imagine the nomadic air peoples were by far the most likely to have kids with people that didn't bend their element. Then while the adults roamed, the children were raised and taught at the nearest correct temple by the elders of the community.
10:47 The British royal family’s last name is Mountbatten-Windsor
0:30 im only 5 episodes in, and I agree
I always assumed that the detached philosophy of the air nomads precluded families, and so children were separated from their parents. I also assumed that, being nomads, their population just grew by virtue of... travel.
But in the case of Aang, even besides the circumstances he's in, he's also not just an airbender. Being the very avatar of four elements required him embodying those elements, and the same would make sense for culture; if Aang is going to be a mediator between cultures, it's for the best he imbibes those cultures, and doesn't prioritize his own.
