Headcanons for the new Avatar series:

1. Earth Avatar is born in a world where bending no longer exists. In the conflicts rising between benders and non-benders in LoK, a war has arisen and wiped out all benders with advanced weapons. The new Avatar, who I guess we can call Rocky, must restore balance by returning bending to the world and reconnecting with the ancient lion-turtle spirits to help the world find spirituality. I don’t want this one to happen personally, as it’s too similar to the new Dreamworks Dragons series with Toothless and them all being long dead. If the writers still have their spark, they’ll make it good!

2. Bending exists, but is being oppressed. It would be interesting to see an Avatar embroiled in what would essentially be a race conflict, considering the shit we’ve been through with all of the BLM riots and trials. However, I also think the writers may want to err on the side of caution to avoid being too woke. (*spits on Velma*) This may not happen either.

3. Bending exists. Non-bending exists. The problem? Apathy. Nobody cares about the old benders from Korra’s time, sitting in nursing homes with tales to tell. They’re all too busy ensnared in tech, with Cabbagegram and Rumblr and Tweeter. Thus, Rocky must reconnect the people with their past and teach them the ways of spiritual growth and the importance of learning your roots. In line with Tenzin and Aang’s own experiences, this could be really interesting if Team Earth Avatar has a disillusioned airbender who couldn’t care less about their stuffy Air Nomad forefathers and only uses their bending to make their life cushy, like bending a bag of chips over to the couch. like this idea! Big Mitchells vs. Machines vibes, and I know Tumblr liked that movie.

4. Bending is being used for war and war only. This isn’t likely to me, as A:TLA touched on this topic the most. All opposing elements were stashed away by the Fire Nation, either culled like the Southern waterbenders and airbenders or forced to assist in the war effort like Haru and his dad. Still, with the bender and non bender conflict in LOK, it could tie in with the first theory rather well. A possibility, but not one I like.

5.Rocky wakes up with visions of a weird old lady. He has somehow acquired the power to control earth, and must hide it from people while being compelled to follow his visions of Korra. (Korra’s cycle reset, so sadly, no Aang or Roku or Kyoshi I think.) He is drawn to the ruins of an island, where he encounters a journal written by Tenzin and discovers he is the Avatar. Nobody seems to care or even know what an Avatar is, or what bending is. Ties in with theory one where bending is a lost art, because that would make it more relatable to the audience of plain old people. A couple of people believe him, he gets his team Avatar of complete non benders, and sets out to tell the world the story of the Avatar cycle and why bending exists. At every turn, he is thwarted by government officials who want to use him as a weapon for his strange and untapped abilities. Along the way, the spirit portals which once lay dormant in Republic City reactivate with the Avatar’s return, sending out bending to the world just as airbending was restored in LoK. I like the idea of nonbenders winning and being more powerful like Suki and Sokka, but with modern takes on weapons. A team Avatar member with a Glock or Beretta or Mauser would be fuckin funny but not possible for the kids show. Who knows? This is a hot idea for me, even though it seems kinda cliche with other shows likely having done the same trope of modern kid receiving ancient powers. Still, an oldie can still be a goodie.

I trust the writers to introduce Rocky or whoever his name is well. I trust their judgement in the upcoming films. But most of all, I’m excited to see what references we’ll get to our beloved shows of the past when we sat on beanbags and ate Cheetos after school watching Agni Kais and bending battles. (The ship discourse was a downside though, I didn’t like being bullied for being okay with how each series turned out canonically.) I’m not the only young adult who will be in that theater in 2025, crying over the adult Gaang and Iroh and how this franchise has affected me, and I hope the rest of our fandom is equally hopeful about how well each story will be crafted.

TIMELINE FOR THE FUTURE EVERYBODY

They better be issuing me with a new ticket for this photoshoot, because the one I currently have is from last year, or the year before. I’ve been waiting since 2020 to meet Amanda Tapping, I just really want to meet her now.
