Unpopular opinion: Jeong Jeong has the best quotes in Avatar The Last Airbender

“Learn restraint, or risk destroying yourself and everything you love.”

“If a fish lives its whole life in this river, does he know the river's destiny? No! Only that it runs on and on out of his control! He may follow where it flows, but he cannot see the end. He cannot imagine the ocean.”

“To master the bending disciplines, you must first master discipline itself.”

“Fire brings only destruction and pain. It forces those of us burdened with its care to walk a razor's edge between humanity and savagery. Eventually… we are torn apart.

“Feel the heat of the sun. It is the greatest source of fire. Yet, it is in complete balance with nature”

ANONYMOUS CONFESSION #152 @atlalore

“The way they introduced flight in Korra was stupid. They made it seem like a huge thing and that you should let go of everything to do it. Airbenders should be able to fly easily based on their bending feats. Aang literally created an air bubble around him that made him go anywhere, meelo used airbending like jet propulsion and launched himself anywhere, all these things can make an airbender technically fly.”

ANONYMOUS CONFESSION #151 @atlalore

“Avatar Kuruk is the best avatar. He sacrificed his life fighting dark spirits in secret to protect Yangchen’s legacy. His lover was killed, his friends left him, and he suffered from mental illnesses. He lost everything but continued to protect humanity in the spirit world. The worst part about his story is that the world thinks he’s a failure who did nothing but party, despite suffering alone all these years.”

Koh the face stealer carries out punishments against humans who he believes are bad. He stole the face of Kuruk’s wife because he believed Kuruk was too arrogant. Koh is not an evil spirit, as he had helped Aang reconnect with his past lives after he was shot by Azula. Father Glowworm, another ancient spirit, despises Koh because he’s too “chatty” with humans and sets a bad example of spirits.

ANONYMOUS CONFESSION #150

“Mako is a way more powerful firebender then Zuko, but people are just blinded by nostalgia. Zuko couldn’t make lightning his whole adult life while mako effortlessly shot lightning from a young age. He had more impressive feats than Zuko and grew up fighting in the streets. He would beat Zuko and anyone without a bias would agree”

Avatar Yangchen was able to utilize super-speed via airbending the same way Aang did in the blue spirit episode. She used Airbending to boost her speed and travel miles in a matter of seconds. She was also able to use her airbending speed to dodge a combustion blast that was only a second away from hitting her @atlalore

ANONYMOUS CONFESSION #149

“For the upcoming earth avatar series, I really hope it takes place more in the spirit world and less in the real world. An avatar who goes on the search for the past avatars and his team consists of spirits instead of humans would be a fun and new idea”

According to Avatar Extras, Omashu's primary trade resource is making weapons for use by the Earth Kingdom against the Fire Nation. Most of all the weapons used in the Earth Kingdom are made in Omashu, which is why it was a strategic decision for Ozai to conquer it.

ANONYMOUS CONFESSION #148

“If the Avatar’s job is to maintain balance between nations and order and chaos, shouldn’t that mean in times of peace they must create chaos? Because too much peace is unbalanced, and that would be a disservice to the Avatar’s duty”

[atlalore]

It took me years to realize that the rocky pillar Roku disappears from in the intro is the same location where Aang defeated Ozai

When Aang daydreams that Momo can talk, he insults Aang and calls him crazy. Back in Book 1, Sokka said he had a dream in which Momo could talk and "said some very unkind things".

(Dawn of Yangchen Spoiler)

From an early age, Yangchen suffered from constant reliving of past Avatars' experiences. Their voices “never stopped” in her head. Due to this, Yangchen lost sight of her personality and reality, with spirits describing her as a hollow shell. Reliving all those past lives, Yangchen noticed that no matter how hard Avatars try, there will always be suffering in the world, which demotivated her at times.

New Canon Information (Spoiler)

According to the recently released Avatar Yangchen Novel, yangchen was able to suck the air out of an entire room of people, creating a giant vortex. However, Instead of killing them, she made all of them lose consciousness.

Avatar Kuruk has the highest amount of love interests out of any known Avatars. He hooked up with many women from different nations including Hei-ran and his fiancé, Ummi, whom he promised her to throw his old ways behind. After Ummi’s death and his battles against Dark Spirit, Kuruk continued his flirty lifestyle in an attempt to try to feel “human” due to his mental health declining in the spirit world.

ANONYMOUS CONFESSION #147 @atlalore

“ATLA doesn’t talk about morality and virtue in the form of heaven and hell but rather spirituality and wisdom, I wonder if their concept of heaven and hell is reflected in the spirit world. Zhao was trapped in the fog of lost souls because of his non-spiritual and sinful life, and iroh’s soul was roaming free outside of the spirit world in bliss.”

[atlalore]

In the lost adventures comic, Aang is introduced to a shadow bender called Analay that is capable of fashioning her shadow into weapons such as whips to bind people from a distance. She is also capable of creating shadow constructs that she can control using her abilities. There is no information about which element this ability belongs to, most likely could be a result of a Vaatu-energy infused spirit possessing a bender.
