In the popular Nickelodeon series, “Avatar” is the title of a being that can guide and manipulate all four elements (air, water, earth, and fire) to bring balance and peace to the world. gender. While all other benders can only use one element, an Avatar is unique and can connect all four as he or she can enter the Avatar state, a way of using money. lifetime to acquire knowledge and skills.

Host avatar

In the world of Avatar, there are four ways of bending, each harnessing the power of one of the four elements. Although the avatars were all capable of mastering all four bending arts through intense training, they were always bound to one key element. Looking back at the last four Avatars before Korra, one can see that all four styles of elemental bending were exhibited: Avatar Kuluk (345-312 before the genocide or “BG”) was primarily a waterbending. prime minister; Avatar Kyoshi (312 BG-82 BG) is an Earthmaster; Avatar Roku is a Firebender; and Avatar Aang was an Airbender. Of course, considering that the most recent Avatar, Korra, was another sailor, this pattern – known as the “Avatar cycle” – begins to emerge. The main bends of each new avatar are in Fire-Air-Water-Earth order before starting over. This means that the next Avatar will be an earthbender.

The reason for this seemingly random order stems from the first Avatar, Wan. In antiquity before the age of the Avatar, the abilities of the elements were given to humans through spiritual lion tortoises, four of which carried whole cities on their shells. Wan (a resident of Fire Lion Turtle City) was given the ability to control fire when he was still a young man. Sentenced to exile by his people, Wan is still able to retain his first bending ability, but after accidentally freeing the demon Watu, he sets out to visit other lion turtles to have acquire the new abilities needed to defeat him once and for all. In what order did he gain these elemental powers? Fire, Air, Water and Earth.

past life is gone

At one of the most shocking and disturbing turns of the entire series, near the end The Legend of KorraIn season two, the resurrected Vaatu takes on Korra and Raava, a benevolent spirit that has merged with its surrogate host. After a series of brutal attacks, the Dark Elves were forced to remove Raava from her avatar host’s body, and as Vaatu’s attack continued, Korra was severed from all her past life. Traumatized by her loss of connection with previous incarnations, such as Aang, who may have helped her save the world, Cora became the first in a long line of incarnations to stand entirely alone.

So unless in The Legend of Korra As with the new avatar’s reincarnation, all future avatars will not be able to connect to Korra’s past life, presumably making her the Wan of the new cycle. However, there is also evidence that the new Avatar may not even be able to connect with his predecessor. In a book published by Nickelodeon Chronicles of AvatarKorra and her friends give writing advice to her upcoming new Avatar.

In one such letter, Cora wrote, “While I know we can’t let failures define us, I’m sorry you won’t be connected with me, with Aang and all of your past lives,‘ seems to indicate that she also won’t be able to live past the next Avatar. But because many of the rules of Avatar mythology still exist, the new Avatar can attempt to reintegrate all of the Avatar’s past lives.

appearance

Believe it or not, there is a general theory about what the next Avatar will look like. Fans of both Avatar: The Last Airbender and its sequel series may note that Korra shares similar physical traits with Aang’s friend and eventual lover, Katara. Interestingly, when I look back at the previous Avatar Roku, I see that his wife Ta Min is also very familiar – her round face and soft features are reminiscent of Aang. Although the evidence is limited, it is theorized that the next Avatar shares physical characteristics with the previous Avatar’s lover.

The last two seasons of the series support this theory, including the final shot of the ‘Avatar’ series, saving the world and finally taking a bold new step with their loved ones: Aang with Katara and Korra with Asami. So with this theory, the next avatar (regardless of gender identity) will have some characteristics similar to Asami, be it black hair, green eyes, skin color, etc. The series emphasizes the importance of love and light in the face of dark forces, and the idea that all incarnations are a fusion between their past selves and their soulmate certainly is something that resonates and is poetically satisfying.

Despite the uncertainty over the future of the beloved series (especially as its creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Brian Konizko recently left for a live-action adaptation, citing “differentiation”) creative distinction”), but there is canonical proof of identity under the avatar. If it is consistent with what is known from cosmic history and mythology, then the next Avatar is likely to be from earthbending origins, limited or related to previous lives and has some similarities. physically with Korra’s companion, Asami. Avatar Of course, fans may have to wait a while before all this is confirmed, but with renewed enthusiasm for the two. the last airbending And The Legend of KorraComplementing Netflix’s catalog, answers are definitely being worked on.
