    first, this was bumped from about 5 months ago

    second

    the avatar reincarnation happens when the avatar DIES, not by length of years, Kyoshi was over 200 years old when she died(and she was one who created the Dai Li)nor by being frozen(as it happened to Aang)

    but either a baby could have been born between end of season 2 and the awakening, (if the avatar gift is bestowed)or a baby would have been born 9 months after end of season 2(in other words, not born yet if Aang had died)if the "avatar spirit is entered at time of conception"; as Aang should have died by the hands of Azula, except Katara saved him


    how do we know that the avatar is born? for all we know he might just incarante or just appear withing a bunch of newborns. you never know.

    I think this theory doesn't make sense, who says the avatar is always a boy, then a girl and then a boy again? THe Avatar before aang is Roku, who is also a boy.

    Who said Aang would die if he didn't get caught in the Iceberg? kyoshi lived for 300 years, didn't she?

    Also.. If Aang didn't get caught in the Iceberg, he would have probably been killed at the FN Ambush (That is why he got caught in the Iceberg, it's called 'Destiny' (See Episode 'The Storm'))

    Who says the next avatar (waterbender) would be in the South pole?

    She lived for 300 years?

    she lived 230 years

    born 288 before Aang or 400 before start of the series

    that means that 288 - 230 = 58 is the age of Roku when he died and Aang is 112(12) at start of series

    maybe Aang was destined to meet Katara

    Roku died at the YOUNG AGE of 58, if he had lived up to 158, Aang might had been born 12 years ago, not 112 as it is in the story

    It was mentioned as a "fun fact" in the online Escape from the Spirit World game on nick.com; it also mentions that she is the oldest Avatar ever. Although, I thought it said she lived to 250, but I could be mistaken. If you want to see the full animated adventure of Aang in the Spirit World from the online game, it can be found on the bonus disc included with the Season 2 Boxset. I wouldn't be surprised if you could find it on YouTube as well.

    Wow this is back up? Cool.

    But, as another person said- the question isn't is Katara the real avatar now as many of you are saying it's impossible because of Aang. The question is this and I'll even put it in bold so there is no confusion:

    WOULD KATARA BE THE NEXT IN LINE FOR THE AVATAR CYCLE?

    There we go. Simple question. The more I watch Avatar the more I suspect she would've been next in line.

    simple answer

    the avatar only happens when the old one dies

    avatar was still alive(even if frozen) when Katara was born

    if the Avatar had happened just because Aang got frozen, it would have been born almost 100 years ago the water tribe avatar

    therefore, Katara was not next in cycle
