*reads poll* What do I think the Phoenix Lord is? Here's an analogy:

King : Emperor

AS

Fire Lord : Phoenix Lord

In other words, I believe that Phoenix Lord is just a name to suit an Empire, which the Fire Nation has become with the conquering of Ba Sing Se. Fire Lord only pertains to a kindom/lordom or what ever the frill the Fire Nation is, and Phoenix Lord pertains to an Empire.

Ok so i brought this over from another thread: Aangs deep dark secret. Based on a summery found on Wiki, that in "The Southern Raiders" Aang will reveal a dark secret to the Gaang. I kno Wiki can't be reliable sometimes, but i thought the concept interesting to discuss, and since this thread has gone dry, i thought i'd spice it up.

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

IF its true what secret would Aang reveal to the group?:

From the Poll In the Thread

Option 1: Aang tells Katara he loves her: 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: Aang met Koh in the Spirit world: Lame IMO. Not a huge secret, nor dark and I can't see how its relevant to the plot.

Option 3: He reveals he hasn't mastered the Avatar State: 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
