But you would agree that the sole reason for the avatar being is to protect the world, right?
Yangchen and Kyoshi seem to be the only avatars that we know of who've had that mind set, now avatar Wan, Roku and Kuruk mixed emotions in with their duty and look where it got them and the world.
Because of Roku, Fire Lord Sozin wipe out all the air benders, and Kuruk pissed of Koh and Wan, well we all know what he did.
Of course, or as They say in the openings. to bring Balance to the world.
Emotions are still a rather important part of being the Avatar. Though indeed not every avatar is uh.... Successful at their duty. But not quite because of emotions but because of personal failings.
Really? Even Roku blamed all the events of The Last Airbender on himself because he couldn't take out Sozin because he was his friend.
Which was a personal failing. Part of bringing Balance is to not deny their human side. Which we saw the risks of by having Korra be so secluded and focused solely on her duty as an avatar. When She arrived to Republic city. She had no clue what the needs of the world were.
Wait, are we talking about the same Korra here? Because what I saw from Korra in season one till the final was that she was hot headed, stubborn, cocky, incompetent, impatient and way to gung ho about almost everything. Yeah she was focused on being the avatar, but all for the wrong reasons.
To me, Kyoshi and Yangchen were the perfect examples of avatars, but that's just me.
Yup we are, because all of those things were heightened by her seclusion and complete unawareness of not just her spirituality, but of the world's needs.
Kyoshi was a great avatar, because she wasn't just duty,duty,duty. But passionate about doing the right thing for the people. Yangchen may have put her spiritual growth second. But she still cared.
I wouldn't nessarcily say that each avatar grew weaker. Aang and Korra were both very strong. Heck Korra for all her failings. Made the biggest spiritual change of them all by correcting Wan's mistake and letting Spirits and humans live as one once more.
Now I'm not saying each avatar should be a robot bent on keeping order and balance by any means necessary, but there is a line that shouldn't be crossed, and that is letting the needs of a few outweigh the needs of the many. Roku, Aang, and Korra are prime examples of crossing that line.
Yep Kyoshi and Yangchen are a few of the best.
Aang and Korra are both strong in their respective generations, but if they were to ever fight the avatar before them they would lose. Now if you remember the episodes back in Last Airbender where they talk about Roku and Kyoshi you'd see that their beaning skills are far above Aang, and Korra never came close to being as powerful as Aang.
I'm still at odds about the whole spirit would and human would being together again. I mean what if humanity starts using spirit energy again or starts invading the spirit would and draining it's resources?
