I was just wondering, how many people think that Aang died in the avatar state, because if he did then that would really piss me off, because:

1. that would mean that he is??the last avatar and that the incarnations would stop coming. When does that happen anyways, when he beats the Fire Nations BUTT?! or what, does the new avatar just appear out of mid-air after Aang is done with his job. Do you think that, that's why the other avatar had a chance to fall in love with someone?

2. the second reason would be because that would completely change the show, not in a good way, and i'm a big Zutara fan, though not as hard core as any of the other ones on this blog. but i also agree that Zutara or Kataang will??not happen, the creators just have a way of doing that. Will he be able to go into the Avatar state again, or will he have to find some other way to beat the fire nation.

Just wanted to know what you people thought, because i didn't get to see the season finale all over again. Also what are threads and shippings.

He NEVER DIED!! He was deadly wounded (he would have died without Katara) but he never died, that water can't resurrect people, this is not DBZ, besides if he had died that would mean the avatar cycle would be broken, wich means even if he had been resurrected he would not be able to display any avatar characteristics, and he DID!! After Katara healed him, he glowed!! THAT MEANS HE DID NOT DIE!?? So STOP SAYING HE DID .

Also if he died, that would eliminate the "Avatar" factor og the show, there would be no avatars, wich would be kind of?? unlikely because the show is called "Avatar"

Aang died and the water's special spiritual properties revived Aang. If Aang didn't die and that water didn't revive him, then what did Katara's water do? It didn't heal the wound at all, the water simply disappeared into Aang's body. So it just woke??Aang??up? Couldn't a slap on his face do the same thing?

Dying then coming back??wouldn't break the Avatar cycle. If Aang dies the Avatar cycle is broken, but if Aang comes back why wouldn't the Avatar cycle do the same? They're both connected and share the same fate, and besides Aang's arrow did kinda glow when he came back...

And don't even speak such blasphemy??mentioning??DBZ and Avatar in the same sentence(even now I feel wrong). Katara didn't wish Aang back and she won't be able to do it over and over again as she's out of the spirit oasis water. Not even close to DBZ.

I've thought this over alot, and I've watched the last 3 minutes over 50 times, and this is what it seems like since there is def not a clear understanding of what happened. There are a few options...

I don't think Aang was truly in the avatar state, I think he finally learned how to enter it but I think when he went up he wasn't in full control sorta like when u start ur car in the cold, u gotta let it heat up, and the window defrost...

That being said, I think he was killed because everything on the show points to it, first of all the reference to dying in the avatar state, second- lightning.... third - the way the big avatar fell over, fourth - the music, fifth - Katara holding him like jesus, sixth - he wasn't breathing from when he got zapped till Katara revived him, seventh - Katara crying when her water did nothing for a second, those all point to him dying for at least a few minutes, you can die for a few minutes and not be truly dead, I think that's what happened to aang.

Now, why the cycle wouldn't be broken- Aang wasn't in the full Avatar state is one option, the glow on his forehead from the water pretty much confirms the avatar spirit is still there, I guarantee it's not just his spirit cause??the moon spirit??didn't glow like that and have the glow noise of the avatar state...??I think it was more of a wakeup call for aang to master the avatar state itself and not just master the ability to enter it and float for 10 seconds basically saying "shoot me"..

Another thing about the previous Avatar states he was in, and the avatar state the past avatars entered, Aang's previous states had him totally just super powerful with him glowing, because the avatars were controlling him. The past avatars had only their eyes glow for only 1 second- the air avatar's forehead didn't even glow when it demonstrated her... there was no huge light... that's why I think what aang did was the initiation to be able to enter it, it wasn't the real thing so technically he couldn't die in the avatar state cause he hadn't fully entered it.

I don't think the cycle is broken, that would honestly make the show worse I think because he would have to win with smarts, and non avatar stuff, besides it IS called AVATAR the last airbender... I don't think he wouldn't be the avatar to end the last third of the show...

well, the water didn't heal the wound... the wound was still there.

I dun kno why Azula's aim is horrible, it seems like that was a pretty direct perfect placement shot except maybe the back of his head.

I think he was just seriously hurt, close to death but no there yet; the water just made aang wake up, but he wasn't dead yet.

Aang I think did complete opening the last chakra and that's why he went out the rock thing he was in, but he was attacked from behind and he wasn't able to block the attack, plus now that i remember the past times he went into the avatar state a ball of wind surrounded Aang and this time it didn't maybe he was in control but was stopped in his tracks by azula

Yea. Lightning is plasma, which is a form of matter. It is matter in itself, except EXTREMELY hot and has a very high electric charge. So basically what lightning is is exploding air, with the electric current being the guide and also a power upgrader.

So yeah, lightning would leave no hole. Just a buncha burns and internal damage because of the electricity.

So you're saying that if they were at the spirit oasis, they could die and be brought back to life numerous times?

That isn't even what I said. Let me say what I said again.

What else did the water do then? Katara doesn't have reviving abilities, she has healing. I know that, but she tried to heal him with oasis water that is connected to spirits. And Aang is the most spiritual being in the human world that isn't an actual spirit. I'm more than certain water with special spiritual properties could bring him back to life. Being in water doesn't heal you even if you aren't spiritual in the Avatar world. A healing Waterbender must use the water as a catalyst first. So just putting the koi fish back in the water wouldn't do anything. Katara didn't bother trying to heal the fish. I didn't say that so don't try to logically extend my words aight? If I had a theory I'd proabably make a thread about it. Trust me.
