Avatar: The Last Airbender still stands as not only the greatest kids cartoon show of all time but also one of the best overall television shows ever. It’s fantastic! Its arrival on Netflix in 2020 was perhaps the only good thing to come out of that year! And we all know the story about how Aang defeated the Firelord and brought peace to the world, but here at CBR we sometimes like to think outside the box with some alternate worlds and theories regarding certain situations. One question that keeps coming back to me is that if Aang had lived a natural life instead of being frozen in ice for 100 years, how would that have affected the Avatar cycle? Well, I think there’s enough evidence to point to Katara as the next Avatar if Aang didn’t end up as an Aang-sicle. It makes sense right? Katara was a special water-bender who displayed all the qualities one would need as an Avatar, but Aang had to go throw a wrench in the plans by running away!

So today’s episode is all about an alternate timeline where Katara turned out to be the Avatar. We’ll pitch a different reality where Firelord Sozin lost his first attack against the Air Nomads thanks to the Aang being there and having to lie in wait to launch a counterattack to when Aang was near death, leaving Katara as the next Avatar to carry on the fight against the Fire Nation and end the war once and for all! We’ll talk more about all the crazy plot points that would lead to that, as well as speculate on just who would be on Katara’s Team Avatar team besides Sokka. Could we see Toph return? Or how about Monk Gyatso’s previously unknown grandchild? Could her fire-bending teacher actually be a less evil Azula? So many questions! It’s going to be a big episode, so let’s get started!
