Aang I think he had more depth than people give him credit for. Korra was very ignorant imo and just had a really big ego

Ikr, people say she’s more traumatized and that’s what makes her more interesting but honestly Aang while being a 13-14 yo kid is so much more than just a fun boy, he’s a very complex character and almost always more mature than Korra while being younger and joking around

Aang looses everybody he ever loved. Blames himself because he escaped. Finds his father figure corpse where it fell a hundred years ago among the enemy corpses. Is hunted all the time. Dies. Needs to recover from dying. Only people he can trust are two to three other kids. Gets betrayed semi-regularly. The whole world wants to use him or kill him.

Are you sure Korra is more traumatised?

To steal a quote from another franchise: “The Fire Nation killed you once and all it did was piss you off.”

Upvotes for whoever knows the source. I’d give an award, but I am poor.

Amen. Love those games, been needing to do another playthrough. Tali and Garrus are some of the best characters ever.

Tali, Garrus, and Wrex are my 3 favorites. Always romance Kaidan though now because I'm a boring adult who wants a boring, mentally healthy partner 😂

That’s what people say! I guess because of her ptsd
