Avatar Aang: The living proof hero

"Avatar: The Last Airbender" culminates in a captivating and fictionalized narrative crafted by
creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko from 2008 to the present, showcasing
their imaginative and creative prowess that has captivated audiences worldwide. The authors'
storytelling centers on the iconic showdown between Aang and Fire Lord Ozai, evoking a range
of emotions from shock and fear to pain, anger, sorrow, determination, and awe, mirroring the
experiences of both the creators and the readers as they immerse themselves in the unfolding
story. The scene between the two mainly emphasizes the determination of Aang on preventing
the Fire Lord Ozai in dessiminating his bad intentions using his formidable powers. However,
Aang forces to step out of his doubtful zone despite the uncertainty which makes him succeed.

As the story continuously flows, Aang's determination in fighting back with the Fire Lord Ozai is
perfectly seen as he starts to seek advice from different Avatars starting from Avatar Roku to
Avatar Yangchen which gives him a lot of wisdom. Unfortunately, he still doesn't use those
wisdom of words because he thinks that no one in all the Avatars understand his deep concern. It
is normal to feel confused from the side of Aang considering that we have our own beliefs and
acceptance in each advice that we simultaneously received. For instance, If we were in the part
of Aang, we could feel his eagerness to express himself to all the Avatars because in real life
situations, we also experience that kind of situation. We've also been in that kind of position
that's why his feedback after the confrontation between him and all the Avatars which states " All
the past Avatars, they keep telling me that I can do it, but for me, they didn't really get or
understand me." is definitely reasonable because he feels lost that time. And when we feel lost,
we are not in the right state to digest such emotions and words from other people. Hence, his
state by that moment is completely understandable by everyone considering that we could
immensely feel his deep emotions inside him that he cannot easily express due to overloaded
thoughts and mixed emotions. Consequently, themes such as power, responsibility,and the
struggle for balance is evidence in the watched video since it highlights the protagonist (Aang) to
uphold his duty as the Avatar, confronting and ultimately defeating the embodiment of tyranny
and imbalance represented by Fire Lord Ozai, the antagonist. This scene is portrayed in the first
minute up to the last minute in the video presented by Professor CK through a YouTube
presentation.

Furthermore, the authors mind in doing this climax between the two fighters is definitely
amazing and powerful. From the editing skills itself up to the narration of the story that made the
readers/audience feel that they are also included in that particular scenario. Despite not knowing
their reason behind this great works but definitely impacted everyone and serves as one of a kind
masterpiece. Their way of thinking and visualizing such scenarios inside their heads made me, as
a writer imagine myself as like them in the near future.

Delving into the other part of Aang's characteristics made me feel pity for him. The reason for
that is all his life, he always does everything for his brotherhood and sisterhood even if it causes
deaths to him. And the sad reality of this is, he doesn't even want to involve anyone in his fight
because just like a real life hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, he didn't want anyone to get hurt by some people
who are against him. This explains how pitiful but amazing his personality is. This one is
portrayed and proven by his own phrases that seen in the beginning part of the video which he
personally states, "Momo, time for you to go" as soon as he lands in the place where Ozai and
him tend to fight. He quickly secures the safety of that animal of all the happenings that he
encounters. Avatar Aang's choice of words and way of portraying the scene is definitely higher
than we all expected because if I were in the part of Avatar Aang, I would never allow myself to
fight alone knowing that there is someone who is more than powerful than me. I used and was
born to live in this kind of century that is why I was raised to think more practically than anyone.
Life is a gift from God, an undeniable life that we can never pay for, that is why I would never
want to be in the place of Aang if possible time goes by to me. I once experienced being in a near
death situation and that experience made me awake in a realization that life is the only key for us
to do whatever we want on earth. Possibly, my opinion towards Aang's characteristics is vice
versa to some of us but surely his characteristics is the one that everyone would love to have in
themselves. Avatar Aang portrays selflessness and love for the people around him. His wisdom
of words and all the dreadful sayings that he told in the full video is the living proof of how he
acts as a better character. "Please listen to me. We don't have to fight. You have the power to end
it here and stop what you're doing." Stated by Avatar Aang to Lord Fire Ozai.

The confrontation between Aang and Ozai evokes a range of emotions and conflicting reactions.
The audience experiences a tension between the desire to see justice served and the ethical
dilemma of resorting to extreme measures, such as taking a life, even in the face of egregious
wrongdoing. Aang's determination to resolve the conflict without compromising his values and
committing an irreversible act of violence leads to a complex emotional response from the
audience. While some viewers may applaud Aang's commitment to finding a non-lethal solution,
others might express frustration or disappointment at what they perceive as a missed opportunity
to deliver decisive retribution. It provides a rich framework for critically analyzing the
confrontation between Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Ozai in the context of their moral choices and
the representation of power dynamics. Aang's decision not to kill Ozai but instead strip him of
his bending abilities elicits diverse emotional and ethical responses from the audience, prompting
contemplation of justice, morality, and the ethical use of power. This was proven by his words
stated, " "I took away your fire bending. You can't use it to hurt or threaten anyone else ever
again." This could encourage readers to engage with the complex interplay of characters'
actions, values, and consequences, ultimately deepening their understanding of the narrative's
thematic intricacies and moral ambiguities.

The quote "When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change." conclude as a
conclusion part to this paper. It embodies the idea that moments of adversity and hardship have
the potential to catalyze transformative growth and personal development. It suggests that when
we experience profound challenges or setbacks, we are often more receptive to introspection,
reassessment of priorities, and the pursuit of new paths or perspectives. In real life, this concept
resonates deeply, as many individuals have encountered pivotal moments of struggle or crisis
that ultimately led to positive transformation. Whether facing personal, professional, or societal
hardships, such as job loss, illness, or social injustice, these challenging experiences can serve as
opportunities for self-reflection, resilience, and the emergence of newfound strengths. Thus, this
quote will ultimately proven by all the challenges that Avatar Aang have experienced. Face your
fear as this fear will enlighten you in a new and better world.
