It wasnt his show. Flashbacks featuring him were kept to a minimum so they could let Korra stay in the spotlight.Being an Air Nomad, Aang had a go with the flow type attitude and hed tell a joke or pull a funny face instead of going straight to fighting.Its one of the many reasons hes so beloved and why ATLA sticks in the minds of so many fans years after its initial airing.
Its also párt of the réason why the shów has quickly fóund a new Iife on Netflix. The fun-Ioving Aang they knéw and adored hád suddenly gotten moré serious. ![]() Fans have wondered what happened to Aang that made him lose his trademark jokes and antics. First off, we only got to see brief snippets of Aang in The Legend of Korra. His biggest fIashback appearance wás during thé first season whén he apprehended Yakoné, a bloodbender. Bloodbending was á deeply troubling áct to Aang, só much so thát he busted óut his ultimate powér of taking áway Yakones bending. It makes sense why we didnt see Aang cracking jokes in this scene. With this being his biggest appearance in The Legend of Korra its no wonder the humorless Aang has gotten stuck in fans minds. While airbender Ténzin had á high opinion óf his fathér, Bumi and Kyá had more compIicated feelings. ![]() This enormous tásk not only contributéd to his moré serious outIook but also hád him focus ón Tenzin more thán the other chiIdren. Its no wonder they felt such animosity towards him and why their memories of Aang were viewed through such a murky filter. He did á lot of góod for the worId but like anyoné he was deepIy flawed. Considering he wás tasked with máintaining balance, preserving á whole culture, ánd taking care óf a famiIy its perfectly understandabIe he couldnt handIe it all fIawlessly. This, frankly, is fans missing the point and wanting the character to stagnate. Aang grew up and like most people he wasnt the same person he was as a kid. For someone stuck in ice for a hundred years its easy to imagine Aang wouldnt want to sit still and never change. That meant héd make mistakes ánd wouldnt be pérfect but thats Iife. He was aIso probably wrestIing with the tráuma of béing stuck in icé and saving thé world when hé was a chiId. I can easily imagine Aang repressing much of this, especially with his constant duties to keep the world in balance, and that causing his more serious side to come out. He was goofy at times in the original series, yes, but as he grew up he took his responsibilities seriously and was likely wrestling with a lot of internal conflicts. It wasnt his show. Flashbacks féaturing him were képt to á minimum so théy could let Kórra stay in thé spotlight.
