So when in the Avatar State, the Avatar absorbs all the knowledge of their past lives, but as far as I know (I haven’t read the Kyoshi books yet so this may be wrong) we don’t know how it works. I imagine it as the past lives telling the current Avatar what to do.
So basically what I’m saying is that whenever Aang or Korra pre-Book 2 goes into the Avatar State during a fight there’s a whole bunch of
“Punch them”
“With a rock, you’re the Avatar, bend”
“Just kill them”
“Kyoshi nO”
before they actually know what to do.
