Nickelodeon (ended 2008)
Well, here comes AS, the ultimate outcast.
I'm sorry to say that Aang is most definately my favorite. There's just something about him that I really like. Of course I like him best at around the middle of S2-S3. I think he's awesome.
And I also think it would completely ruin the state of things if he cracks jokes during a serious battle. Emphasis on SERIOUS battle.
When I first saw The Chase I thought of some good one liners could have said when he was confronted with Azula.
"Gee I am fladdered you went through his trouble for me, I know I am deviloush handsome but still." "Lady are you that desperate for a date?"
I know Aang would not say those things. But sometimes a good setup, is a good setup, and Aang was perfectly setup to say a bunch of funny lines at the arrogiant villainess.

Though he isn't my favorite (Azula beats him in that) I still absolutely adore him. In the beginning of the show, he was, as Katara put it "a goofy kid", but now, even though he has matured greatly, he still retains that comical aspect. If he was real, and not 12-years-old, I'd definitely date him.

| Aang is a good hero. And he is certainly different than most arrogant heroes. I think Aang is just a fun-loving kid who doesn't want to make any enemies. He has no reason to want to trash talk anyone. Air Nomads are peaceful people who dislike violence. And well... trash talking and being arrogant could lead to violence. Aang is usually pretty serious... not completely, but that's understandable. He's 12, and he does have his somewhat arrogant moments. Although he's a lot better than most heroes. And I disagree. Look at anime hero Naruto for example. He's VERY arrogant. That goes for some other anime heroes too. |
I never said Anime didn't have arrogant heros, just that it wasn't as uncommon for them to have humble respectful heros like Aang compared to the western cartoons. Sure there are arrogant anime heros, but there are also humble anime heros, like Renton and Eureka from Eureka 7 they are very humble. Though the rest of the Gekko State can be arrogant at certain times especially Holland. Another example of a humble anime hero is Ichiko from Bleach.
By the way, I hope you don't think I want Aang to be arrogant and making jokes in battle. Just something I noticed, just because I state something, doesn't mean I am complaining.

Though in defense of the arrogant heros I mentioned though I don't think them all arrogant, I don't really consider Danny Phantom that arrogant, maybe a little, but not as much as Jake Long or Ben Tennison (who I heard grow out of his arrogance in the new Ben 10 series when he is 15), they are full of themselfs most of the time. Anyway back to my point, sometimes it is the villains that determain the type of hero you are.
If you enemies are buffons who are more interested in prefecting their evil laugh and mostly incompedent, you might crack a few one liners in battle and be a little arrogant. Kim Possible is the best example, she is a natural humble person, but the buffon villains she fights, makes it hard for her to keep a straight face. If you adverosires are nothing but jokes, it is hard to take your job of hero seriously. Aang of course doesn't have that problem.
Mention Luke Skywalker, I just found a way to categorize these heros.
The take their job seroiusly humble heros are Luke Skywalkder heros, and the arrogant say one liners in battles are Han Solo heros. The Luke style and the Han style.

agree Aang is humble because he's a monk and i like aang the way he is , funny ,if he was arrogant i will probably hate him |
agree and agree. It's not worth it to make Aang a worse character just to get more fans for the show.

I forget to say, that is what seperates Avatar from the other shows. Aang does take his Avatar work serously, he doesn't underestemates his opponents. Yeah he is a fun loving kid, when he is off duty and he is simply Aang. But when it is Avatar time, he is altro serious. Fighting is not fun time to him like the other heros. What that last person said about Azula, I agree completely. Azula is a serous villain who doesn't make the mistakes of the stupid comic relief villain, but she still a fun character, she is not too serious to a boring degree. Ironic of who voices her great grandfather, because she is a lot like Slade. Like Slade, she will sneak in a few funny evil one liners once in a while, but she is a master of staying two steps ahead of everybody most of the time. She is has the effectiveness of a real serious villain, but she has the good qualities of the comic relief villain. Just like Slade. |
