    What do you think it is? On Wikipedia it says that in "The Southern Raiders" he will reveal his greatest darkest secret. If it is true, what do you think it is?

    none of those are really secrets. katara kind of knows that aang loves her (i hope). koh might be a big secret, but doesnt seem like it. and not mastering that avatar state, i think every body knows that!

    but if thats really about aang reveling his greatest, darkest secret, then that episode should be epic! but try not to believe wikipedia.

    I laughed when i saw Wikipedia. Because it's soooooooo reliable, i mean no1 can edit it!! Wow its amazing!

    Anywhooo, out of the options it will probabli be that Aang hasn't mastered the avatar state. It isn't really a dark secret but it is a HUGE secret to keep from every1. I mean the Gang has onli got like what... a week left until the final attack on Ozai, and without the avatar state which every1 else is probably relying on, dey will be like "OMG WTF!! HOW THE HELL CAN WE WIN NOW! RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!" It needs 2 b said.

    His real secret is ............... HE'S GAY DUM! DUM! DUM!

    ATLA is almost finished, so I don't think we'll learn a completely new secret of Aang which we don't already know. It's to late for that, since it would only complicate things for the story-line. I think it's about Aang not mastered the avatar state, just think about the look on Katara her face when she saw Aang trying to master the avatar state at the last moment in 'The crossroads of destiny'. She was smiling cause she thought he was in the avatar state. Since then they barely talked about it, so there has been no reason for Aang to tell them that he hasnt been able to master this avatar state since that time. Probably something will happen during 'The Southern Raiders' (if Wikipedia is right) which will force Aang to tell everyone what really happened during his time with the guru, and when he does that, he also has to tell Katara that he can't let go of his feelings for her.
    Wow, I guess that'll suck for him xD

    Ok my opinion, i've read the Wikipedia summery and it doesn't sound that band. Heres what I think,

    IF its true:

    From the Poll

    Option 1: Maybe, depending if Katara is naive and stupid as always and takes Aang's kiss from DOBS the wrong way, again. Not really a deep dark secret, but definetly some Kataang moments coming up in TSR or EIP. Its an issue that can't go unresolved until Sozin's comet.

    Option 2: Not a huge secret, nor dark and I can't see how its relevant to the plot.

    Option 3: Despite everyones opinion on this thread, this is blown completly out of the water by this quote.

    (Quote from Day of Black Sun, Part One: The Invasion, from avatarspirit.net)

    Aang: (Momo scurries to his shoulder) Top of the morning, Momo!

    Katara: Sounds like you slept well.

    Aang: Like a baby mooselion. I'm ready (in an attacking position) to face the Fire Lord.

    Toph: So what's your strategy for taking him down?? Going to get your glow on (her fingers flutter in front of her eyes) and hit him (punches the air repeatedly) with a little Avatar State action??

    (Cut to a close-up shot of Aang looking down dejectedly)

    Aang: I can't. When Azula shot me with lightning, my 7th chakra was locked, cutting off my connection to all the cosmic energy in the Universe.

    Toph: You know what I just heard?? Blah blah spiritual mumbo jumbo blah blah something about Space.

    So there you have it, the Gaang already know why Aang hasnt mastered the Avatar State. Theres no need for him to reveal that to them. That topic is closed. Why do you think they went back to the original plan of mastering four elements in WAT?

    Anyway onto my opinion.

    Opinion 4: Combo of 1 and 3. See in that quote the reason he gave was not the right one. He didn't really say why he couldn't master it in the first place. What deep dark secret has Aang told no one, the real reason he couldn't master the Avatar state?

    Because he couldn't give up his earthly attachment to Katara. Aang gave up all the cosmic energy in the universe in order to keep his love for her

    Wow, how epic would that be if Aang actually revealed that to Katara? Can you imagine how that would make her feel. I think that the scene in which Katara breaks her and Aang's kiss (from NYCC trailer) is the scene where he tells her just that. What other reason do you think she could have pulled back (I can think of others, but neva mind) so suddenly? Imagine wat she would be thinking.

    'It's cus of me you can'tgo into the Avatar state? Oh god'

    Anyways So Katara finds out that hidden secret. In the SAME episode she finds out what happned to her mother from Hakoda. Bryke did say it was going to be a tear jerker. Honoustly, I think this episode is going to be EPIC in terms of revelations.

    Well phew thats my opinion. DISCUSS!!

    Happy speculating peoples

    P.S- Option four better be in the poll by morning lol.

    I think you hit the nail on the head. After thinking over that scene in the NYCC trailer, this is exactly what I have been speculating. Very nicely put

    Wikipedia has about as much chance of being reliable as does the worlds fattest man going to an all-you-can-eat buffet and only having 1 piece of lettuce. 'Nuff said.

    I'm gonna go with-

    'He couldn't master the Avatar State because of his attachment to Katara.'

    Like many people stated, unless Katara is completely oblivious, she at least knows he has a crush on her (but we know he loves her), and I'm sure they figured out that Aang never truely mastered the Avatar State (unless they still don't know specifics about the 7th chakra- but that plays into my guess on his dark secret).

    Or, if the creators wanted to make it relevant to the plotline of that episode (and we're all sure it's about Katara and Sokka's mommy), something about his own past that we could have never guessed (insert plot twist here).

    I wouldn't trust Wiki, though. Although I've heard crazier descriptions/bits of information on that site, and it is fun to look at, and this is probable, I wouldn't take it for fact until a more reliable source arrives.
