Mfw I actually really love the series especially season 3 for the anarchists, but yeah it’s very Obama Era neoliberalism-y and the second season sucks bad
I can only assume the point of the entire show was to make the viewer realise that having an avatar sucks and frankly they should put the avatars back on ice
The problem is that you think the world means people in this analogy. The world is literally the world here and it says it needs an avatar people be damned.
Do things without a god given chosen one? But that would actually be interesting. Also it was the energy of his past lives that kept him alive and it shorted his lifespan I think. So I think there would have to be some willingness on the avatars part. At that point why are they even in ice? Wait wasn't this the Fire Nation's plan? :thinkin-lenin:
The past avatars could have awoken Aang or let him die at anytime, but they actually wanted the Fire Nation to colonize the Earth, ie pre Yangchen dude was holding the reins the whole time
Roku didn't do any better, what makes you think anything would've changed if Aang stuck around and died during the genocide? Then the following water tribe avatar could have been born in the southern tribe and been killed during that genocide, leaving an earth kingdom avatar. So you've got a fresh new earth kingdom or northern water tribe avatar and they need to uh, go kill Sozin? Lead an army against the invading forces? Probably get shot full of lightning by Azulon or Ozai or Iroh in the avatar state and end the avatar cycle?

But do you empathize with the "villains" or the hero? Cuz first and third season I couldn't not empathize with the villains.
Second season sucked in its own bad written way, instead of sucking in the horrible-message way

Season two basically made the avatar the embodiment of good. aka :jesus-cleanse:
It sort of did but it also failed to address why the world still needs an avatar

Ok but there was no avatar for 100 years with no real issue on that front. Stick em in ice and bring them out whenever there's a spirit world issue

That's what the Kyoshi books are for
