Nickelodeon (ended 2008)
There might be a consequence just like in Buffy Season 6/7, the cycle is probably??screwed up right now since it looked like Aang died and the cycle was destroyed but then he was revived so...
If Aang did die in the Avatar State, but was revived he still died no matter what, so isn't possible for another avatar to have awaken since things didn't go normally? Yes I know the show is about Aang &?? blah blah blah but that's one of the things that I think are possible..
As I agreed to in the other thread that was started a day before this one... I think he was 'dying'... but not dead; therefore the Avatar spirits were never lost.

yea, i think he was unconsious too, because there is no evidence that he died.?? but there is clear evidence that he is still avile, so the avatar cycle isnt broken.
Aang was definitely dead for a few minutes. Here's the proof.
1. When Azula hit Aang with the lightning bolt, not only did Aang fall down, but the gigantic Avatar Spirit fell down too. I don't think that would have happened if Aang was simply wounded.
2. When Katara was healing Aang, nothing happened. His wounds stayed the same, and then Katara started crying. That means that Katara's healing didn't work, and the only reason that it wouldn't work is if Aang was dead. Seeing that Aang was dead and she couldn't do anything, Katara started crying.
3. Aang began to show signs of life after the arrow on his head glowed. The arrow on his head only glows when he is in the Avatar State. Therefore the huge amounts of cosmic energy that go into Aang are what cause the glowing. So perhaps the cosmic energy was still entering Aang, and that is what brought him back from death. He opened the last of his chakras after all, so the flow of cosmic energy into him must have been greater than ever, and because he is the avatar, that cosmic energy might have been enough to bring him back to life.
I think that all the previous Avatars are gone now, so Aang can't get anymore help from Roku, but Aang is the beginning of a new Avatar cycle, and he will still be able to enter the Avatar State and control the four elements. He might also be less powerful in the Avatar State than he would have been normally.

If all the other spirits were gone, Aang's arrows would not glow.?? Roku explained in the Winter Soltice that Aang's arrows glowing were a combination of all avatar spirits passed.??
As for the cosmic Aang falling... that is just a representation of him himself.?? The cosmic Aang also disappeared when Aang 'disappeared' (left) the spirit connection during the Guru episode.... so if Aang is falling in his Avatar state, of course, the cosmic Aang will begin to fall as well.
Iroh stated in SoTN that even Katara could not heal the fallen spirit... it had been 'mortally' wounded.?? The spirit was only revived with the touch of Princess Yue (remember her touch was the??moon's spirit life force that??had been infused within her)??- so as powerful as the water oasis water is, it??CANNOT bring back the dead.?? Aang was DYING... he was losing the battle, when Katara touched him with her healing??using the spirit-enhanced water it triggered a reaction to turn the tides within him.?? The spirits within Aang were present by the arrows glow once again... now he needs time to heal completely.

Yes indeed, this sounds like a good direction to go with this. In fact, I doubt Aang is the first avatar to die in avatar state, so the reincarnation cycle thingy can be restarted. |
Here's two situations which are reasonable to what happened:
1.) He DID die when struck by lightning. Ok people, there was a hole through his body, I mean the whole electricity/lightning going through all of his body must have??knocked out his heart or something. Its almost impossible to survive that. It went right through him and proabably stopped his heart and brain. And his BigMe Aang version started to loose its glow and just fell over. And Azula's smile, she shot to kill, KILL, she didn;t want to just hurt him a little, she had a job to do, and she had a perfect oppurtunity to not only kill the current avatar but stop anymore from coming so as the fire nation could finally claim victory. She is the last person to pass this??golden oppurtunity up, she wanted to kill and smiled becuase she did??so. BUT, when Katara brought him back to life, his avatar powers/spirit came back as well, hence the glow. "The glow is the combination of all your past lives focusing their energy through your body." So all the past avatar are "alive" and kicking and still with aang. There's a reason why avatar roku stressed the death in the avatar state speech, and that's why they put it in the "previously on avatar" thing. Why do you think Katara cried when she didn't think the spirit oasis water worked? She thought her best friend and possible love had just DIED, not just mortally wounded. This is the most likely case.??
2.) He was on death's doorstep and didn't loose his powers and katara just sort of saved him from death. He still has all his powers and connections to the past avatars and such.

I think it was the 2nd one. |
The cycle is not broken, because he did not die.
