You bet ouch.?? I'm just still devestated at even the slightest possibility of there never being any littleAangs and Kataras running around.?? We still don't know that the Airbender Monks followed the same rules as those of this world, though, and that means there is HOPE!!!!!!?? ?? Maybe being the Avatar grants Aang special, uhh, parts privelages.??

HAHA!!?? I'VE GOT IT!!!!?? Since, well, this is a show, and well, the creators have to have everything planned out, this has to make sense: The Airbender monks CAN'T have done that to him, because if he can't have kids, there is no way for there to be any other Airbenders, (if you beleive the "Last Airbener" thing like I do), and the Avatar cycle will be broken once it gets to the Air Nomads.?? At least, that's what it should do so that Aang will have to have kids.?? HAHAHAHA!!!?? Gotcha there!!!!?? * plugs ears and sings??loudly so he doesn't have to hear everybody saying "Well, there COULD be other Airbenders, still..." *??

what children? this will not happen.

That doesn't prove anything. The creators could wish to go either way: to let Aang reproduce and repopulate the world with little hoovers; or to have him be truly isolated alone and die knowing that he is Katara's special friend and the FINAL airbender.

You'd be happy with the Avatar world falling to pieces because the Avatar ceased to exist??????? AM I THE ONLY SANE PERSON HERE????? Seriously, do you really enjoy sadness and destruction that much, or do you just enjoy being a killjoy?

I don't think it safe to say aang and katara will ever have kids, Aang's got his whole life ahead of him (assuming he survives season 3) who is to say he won???t find other girls? I'm hoping to see a love triangle between Aang, Katara and Zuko: Zuko is likely to join the group eventually and a relationship could develop where katara has to choose between them. I could see katara and zuko fighting while looking for fire wood.
Katara: ever since you joined you have been bossing us around!

Zuko: Well maybe if you would listen to me more often.

Katara: you???re a jerk!

Zuko: yeah well you???re a b****!

They look into each other eye with hate, then suddenly they???re in a hot passionate tongue lock, then katara back???s away.

Katara: That was weird.

Zuko: Yeah it was good for me to.

Toph listening with her vibrate-o-vision from far away: That was good and weird.

Aang hiding in bushes: *cry*

Aang: It looks like it's just me and you now Toph.
Toph: I'd sooner kiss a flying bison.
Aang: I could arrange that!

Airbending does not need to be genetic, other airbenders could arise, or even be in hiding. Aang may not or ever will reproduce, in the show I doubt they will ever show aang???s future that far anyway, so the question is totally hypothetical, like I said originally might as well me asking if Ranma ?? could get pregnant.

Bending MUST be genetic, or Earthbenders would be being born unto Waterbender parents, etc etc, and, since that isn't happening, we can assume Bending is genetic, regarding the fact that Bending Nations [except for Aang and Katara] have NEVER mixed, as far as we know.?? GOTCHA AGAIN!!?? ?? Plus, I would have thought that the title "Avatar: the Last Airbender" might have given you a little hint.?? I dunno, maybe I'm crazy cuz I catch subtle things like that.?? ?? ONE OF THE BIGGEST FRIGGIN' CONCEPTS OF THE STORY??IS THAT HE'S THE LAST AIRBENDER!!!?? I mean, God, half the darned plot revolves around that fact.?? I sorta hoped you would have caught the vibes after one and, uhhh, like, 1/8th seasons, but I can seee I will be dissappointed in that hope.

zach,

The eunuch thing was a joke, get over it; imagine that on avatar a nick kids show:

Toph: Stick up for your self twinkle-toes, don???t you have any balls?

Aang: actually I don???t.

Long silent pause.

Sad endings ROCK! you should see Cowboy Bebop, Wolf Rain, EVA, Berserk, etc. Though none of those are for kids, kids need to be sheltered: can't start telling them there are rarely happy ending in the real world.

Oops, double post, sorry.?? And I can't even begin to imagine that scene in an episode.?? No happy endings in the real world???? Wow, you're such a bright little ray of sunshine.??

The title is not valid: in other language translation of the show its call avatar: the legend of aang ("Avatar, la leyenda de Aang"), or avatar: master of the elements (Avatar ??? Der Herr der Elemente)



Others have suggested (and cited evidence from the nick site and quotes from the creators) that bending is not genetic but spiritual, that bending is given to people according to the land they were born on, this would forbid mix benders and hybriding from producing benders in the wrong nation. This would also allow anyone that moves into airbender land (like the northern air temple) and start taking up air bending habits (like gliding) to start having airbending kids. You don???t have to make contrived scientific theories to try explaining a fantasy world based on mysticism, but I know your going to try.

Nice citiations for sad endings. Mixed endings are also nice, as the battle is one, but at a cost that makes no one happy; like Serenity. Look at my icon. Browncoats!

I really hope that Avatar doesn't have a traditional happy ending. "Wow! We defeated the firelord!"
"Yeah! And we didn't have to kill him, just show him the error of his ways!"
Sozai's Meteor passes overhead. The more you know!

It is not that happy ending don't happen it just rare, like how only a hand full survive Jonestown, So there is hope just "don't drink the kool aid".

Now aang could have kids, it could happen, heck aang could die in the end and they will flash forward 10 years and show aang reincarnated as katara and zuko child, that would be really heart warming.
