Avatar - The Promise Part 3

While it was fun to see the Aang gang back together and in fine form, it ended a little slow, and we didn't see the start of the world Korra lives in like I thought we would. But the peace was established, and we got the idea of... well, I won't spoil that...

but all of this labor came at a price.

SPOILERS BEHIND THE CUT.

*note to mods: Not my scans...




It wasn't Firelord Ozai that "went away" at the end of the story, but someone else....




Yep, that JUST HAPPENED. And it WAS Roku who had wanted to keep the nations separate (when alive), and Roku was willing to kill the Firelord in order to maintane "the balance" (at the time, he was right, as the Fire Nation was expanding their empire).

Aang now sees a different path. Like he was taught in The Swamp, the idea of separate nations is an illusion... but it will take time and effort to have separate cultures blend into one community. The idea of separate nations is starting to slip away.

And to wash out that bad taste in your mouth.
BOBA!!!! Uncle Iroh STYLE!!!!

Aang has ignored advice from his predecessors before, so I saw this as a growing-up moment and choosing to listen to himself, not goodbye to Roku forever. Especially as we see Roku behind Aang's spirit in the Korra finale.

It'd be a real dick move if Aang cut off not only himself but all of his future reincarnations from Roku forever
