When Aang Kills

[u/Western_Echo2522]

Not saying I don’t love Aang btw. I do, I’m just mentioning something I noticed on another rewatch. That Vulture-Wasp definitely fell in two different pieces. It kinda felt like Aang’s Mace Windu v. Jango Fett moment, and I think it makes him feel more human, because he was enraged for a justifiable reason, his oldest living friend having just been kidnapped and missing, and another friend was being taken too. It was the heat of the moment. I don’t think it takes away from his character at all, I actually think it adds to it a lot. I did, however, want to point it out, because I feel like it’s easy to miss

In season one in the air Temple episode where he sent fire nation tanks flying off cliffs, I don't think all of those survived or came out uninjured, same with his giant Kaiju form at the end of the season. I don't think all fire nation soldiers were just gently pushed onto the water and could easily swim through tidal waves. As innocent as he's built to be , anytime he went into Avatar state in season one, he likely badly injured random cannon fotter characters

Unless you have proof these people were dead, then there is every chance they survived. This is a diffrent universe with diferent rules, you can't use the "it would happen like that in real life"

And frankly, in the air temple, the attack wasn't meant to kill, and he didn't went back to check. It makes complete sense he would say he didn't kill anyone.

In the case of the siege of the North, aang wasn't in control, Ocean was. Ocean most certainly didn't ask for aang's consent on killing those people, nor was there any indication he could simply stop. Blaming those deaths on him is not fair.

The bug might or might not have been killed either, but we don't know.
