    I think it’s important to the vibes of the show in general. The point of Aang’s journey isn’t “grr the fire nation killed my family now I need revenge.” The catalyst for his fight against the fire nation is Roku telling him that Sozin’s Comet is coming soon and that Ozai is going to lead another major invasion with it. Until that point Aang mostly just wants to help Katara learn to waterbend.

      I see, these make a lot of sense. It also helps to create a slow burn for pay off of a battle with Ozai. Thank you! @cosecantphi@hexbear.net

      Edit: You’ll cringe for this, but that sort of makes sense for Netflix to not have an elephant koi detour. I think the impetuous being the air temple + a vision for the comet would be a snappy pace befitting a few seasons of a Netflix show.
