| I can see a 'Dark Avatar' as a possiblity of a future villian. But one with multiple possiblities of occuring. From a dark reflection of the Avatar, to a mystical process of binding elemental spirits to a person, to steal a person's bending to an evil spirit with knowledge of multiple bending. If it is natural for the world to have one Avatar and a second one shows up, it could bring chaos until there is only one. Things like the elements going crazy and supernatural diasters occuring. I am not sure about Shadowbending, but I can see tainted bending as a possible future plot element. The idea that the taint increases a person's bending powers and skills but corrupts the element and the person is a good plot element. One that could work independant or working with the Dark Avatar element. Also with the Comet, it could be a prison but it could also be an omen. Perhaps a signal in a prophecy that hints at a future trouble that could be occuring in the future. Or it could be a key to a gate that seals a greater evil that can act more in the world as the seals are opened. Just some randoms thought. But we must know that the creators might have a few wild cards up their sleeves. |
Since I have dropped my "Lightbending" aspect of my theory in favor of the combined elements being the only way to push back the shadows, I've also decided to switch the WingTsun discipline as shadowbending. For a video clip, click this link:
Note, this is spoken in Polish, but watch the yellow tinted portions of the video for demonstration footage of the martial art.

"C.) Origin 3: The 'Darkness Within ' Scenario
We have seen this in the canon series when Aang demanded to know where Appa was taken in "The Desert". The distortion of the voice overlay had a very dark overtone to it. This scenario seems to be the most likely in part where Aang has an internal battle with a Dark Avatar."???? - Gantros
As in depth as you theories may be, and I do give you props for that, your third scenario seems a little unlikely.?? Emotion changes a person's voice, stature, and actions.?? The loss of a lifelong companion is an extremely emotional event.?? The voice changes seen in "The Desert" are not the attempts of the inner Dark Avatar to retain control, but instead the physiological effects of a powerful emotion.

First off, welcome to the forums.
Before we become best buds, I'd like to tell you that "necroing" a thread (or bringing an old thread "back from the dead") is not a practice we encourage.
In the future, limit yourself to posting on threads that are on the first page of the forum.
This thread's discussion ended in 2006. That was two years ago. Let the thread rest in peace.
But its your first post, so your mistake is understandable. I made tons of mistakes in my first few weeks.

I like the dark avatar idea. Thanks for coming up with it, Gantros. I think the dark avatar should have been Katara. She is close to Aang's heart and it would give the creators the opportunity to further probe the significantly large "dark side" of waterbending.
Why exactly is "thread necromancy" bad? It's not like we're bringing back bad threads.
III.) Who should be the Dark Avatar?
A.) Princess Azula
I feel Azula would make the best candidate because her perfectionist nature would allow her to learn the four elements (Air, Water, Earth, and Shadow) very rapidly, perhaps even faster than Aang did. This reduces the time gap between seasons 3 and 4 and allows for the nations to become complacent and ripe for a new conflict.
B.) 'Dark' Aang
A Dark Aang would make for an interesting internal battle, but wouldn't have much dramatic impact on the world for a whole story arc.This also smacks of Anakin/Vader.
C.) Unknown Character
Perhaps the Dark Avatar is already here, hiding behind the scenes, his/her fingers moving the pieces into position for 100 years.
