Do we know if this is true?

Hi everyone! I have been doing crochet dolls for some years now and after I watching the series for the second time, I've decided to create my own design for Aang. Also I thought it would be a perfect oportunity to use my glow in the dark yarn, so I also did an Avatar State option (swipe right to see it glowing). I hope you guys will like it! And if you crochet or know someone who does, the pattern is available on my etsy store (crochesquerda). Thank you so much!

Imagine the adult aang saying "toph, I'm 40 years old, can you stop calling me twinkling toes?" in his childlike voice, and he will no longer sound out of character

Obviously this isn't the full picture and things are very much out of context, but I doubt everyone was fully on board with the idea of leaving the Lion Turtles just because the land was only slightly less dangerous than before. I also doubt that all the Avatars directly Wan were on board with with the defacto peacekeeper of the world

All I'm saying is that Wan is lucky all those who hated the Avatar of his era are dead and gone.

Takes place at Avatar Korra Park.

EoS versions.

No AS, bloodbending, or any other amps.

Zaheer cannot fly you away to safety.

Pick wisely.

If it was up to me, I would lead raids against Fire Nation ships and dockyards to hinder their ability to launch attacks.

I’m right right? They all died and got brought back?

Oke zaheer unlock ancient technique which definitely increase his mobility 100% than anyone else, Ming-hua actually play with her speed & agility then ghazan more like AOE. Even then all of them kinda hard to scale in one aspect only due how unique they're all.

But combustion bending was originally power like a "bomb" which very destructive, And she very versatile with that and she still can regularly firebending.

The serpents have crackhead energy but I favour the unagi

I believe in this fandom that there is often a deep, underlying, unstated assumption that, if the audience and/or Zuko have a particular perceptive of Azula, the rest of the Gaang must share it, but I do not think that's remotely supported what the cartoon actually depicts. Let's look at their actual encounters.

"Return to Omashu": Aang, Katara, and Sokka have no idea who Azula is. Azula realizes Aang is the Avatar and tries to capture him, but is stopped by Bumi.

"The Chase": Azula tells Aang that she's Zuko's sister. This is the extent of what she reveals about herself. Azula tries to capture Aang.

"The Drill": Azula tries to conquer Ba Sing Se, fights Aang, has no substantive conversation with the Gaang.

"The Guru": Azula, Mai, Ty Le surprise and capture Katara.[1]

"The Crossroads of Destiny": Mai, Ty Lee, and Azula capture Toph and Sokka, then Azula and Zuko fight Aang and Katara. Azula hits Aang with lightning. Again, Azula doesn't say anything that substantive in the presence of any remember of the Gaang.

"The DoBS": Azula defends the Fire Nation and her father against Aang, Toph, and Sokka. She does deliberately try to get into their skin to distract them, including spin a tale about Suki being her favorite prisoner, but it's still a short encounter.

"Boiling Rock, Part II": Azula fights Zuko and Sokka, says nothing.

"The Southern Raiders": Overwhelmingly, it's Zuko that Azula fights here.

"Sozin's Comet": Zuko and Katara fight Azula. This is arguably the most substantive interaction interaction the Gaang (aside from Zuko) have with Azula, but it is fairly limited and Toph, Sokka, and Aang aren't there.

This is a fairly limited set of interactions, and the Gaang also hardly ever talk about Azula when she's not present. And why would they? Azula never had the sort of interactions with the Gaang that defined "pre-redemption" Zuko. She never invaded and terrorized Sokka and Katara's home. She never broke Aang out of prison. She never had her life saved (multiple times!) by Aang. She was never offered help by the Gaang. She never emotionally bonded Katara and then betrayed her. All the things which personalized Zuko's relationship with the Gaang, even before he joined them, are utterly lacking for Azula.

Azula also really never talks about herself or her motives in the presence of the Gaang. She says nothing about her backstory around them, and very little about her relationship with her family. Most of the stuff which define the audience perceptive of her and her characterization occur outside the handful of brief scenes that the Gaang are present.

Insomuch as the Gaang would perceive her motives, it would be

1. Trying to capture Ba Sing Se

2. Trying to capture or kill the Avatar

3. Trying to defend the Fire Nation

This isn't exactly things they're in favor of, but it's also bog standard stuff for your average Fire Nation commander. Azula really isn't unique there.

Further, the things that Azula has done or tried to do the Gaang are not exactly nice, but they're also not exactly unusual for someone to do their military opponents during a war. She never really did anything that was exceptionally cruel or anything like that to them. Even verbal taunts were essentially reserved for the DoBS, where she didn't have her firebending. Stuff like "disguising herself as a Kyoshi Warrior" is even very easily paralleled by some stuff the Gaang itself has done.

Putting this all together, I think the Gaang must generally view Azula as a military opponent, who they don't really know anything about or have any particular relationship with. Azula is particularly skilled and dangerous, but that's the main exceptional thing about her. Katara has somewhat of a grudge against Azula, for "killing" Aang, and also witnessed Azula's breakdown, and that's basically it for that sort of thing. Azula is neither someone they have particular reason to hate nor someone they have a reason to involve themselves with.

Ironically, I think even the comics, which I think handle Azula poorly, kind of support this. The Search has Azula on-page with Sokka, Aang, and Katara a lot, but she never has anything approaching a heart-to-heart with any of them, and it's also clear they're not paying any attention to what Azula is actually saying and talking about. I don't think they gain any enlightenment about her there. Beyond that, they just don't really directly interact with her in the other comics.

[1] As for Suki, her only real interaction with Azula seems to have been Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee kicking the Kyoshi Warriors' asses and stealing their uniforms. Suki is probably kind of mad about that, but on the other hand the fact she lets Ty Lee join really suggests that Suki is unlikely to have a massive grudge. Suki also doesn't seem to know anyone but Sokka in the Gaang particularly well.
