Did they just break one of the most important parts of Avatar lore?

In this episode of Absolute Geek, we dive deep into the latest Avatar project and break down what works… and what really doesn’t. From a nerfed Avatar State to questionable power scaling, this version of Aang feels very different from what fans remember—and not in a good way.
