    Tenzin didn't even have his first kid until age 41

    it doesn't seem like he was all that impatient about having children

    okay, pure speculation verging into fanfiction territory here, but what if Lin and Tenzin had a miscarriage

    those can really do a number on relationships sometimes

    Secretly,
    Tenzin is the father of Mako and Bolin

  • OptyOpty Registered User regular
    Also remember that babies with Lin adds in the chance of them being Earthbenders instead of Airbenders. Would Lin be up for reproducing over and over until an Airbender or two popped out?

  • -Tal-Tal Registered User regular
    yeah see they never mention TenzLin getting married or anything, or even hint at them having kids

    they'd just been drifting apart man

    why people gotta make it complicated

  • WybornWyborn GET EQUIPPED Registered User regular
    Pema and Tenzin also present two very different takes on the story based on their own perspectives on those events

    We'd never get a full version on it unless Lin weighed in

    And guess who isn't very likely to do that
    Maybe Toph would spill the beans

    Or Katara, I bet she heard all about it from everyone who Tenzin didn't want bringing his mother into this

    I know people really get hung up on this "GOTTA MAKE AIRBABIES" thing for some reason

    but if Tenzin was really concerned about that he wouldn't have a wife

    he'd have a million concubines and make hundreds of kids like an ancient king

    The Air Acolytes are probably more important than Tenzin's bloodline in terms of perpetuating airbending, long-term

    Spirit world component, etc.

    Being descended from the last airbender just makes it easier

    chastity has never been shown to be a part of Air Nomad culture, you really can't when literally everybody is a monk/nun

    males and females live apart but they also visit each other all the time, they're not called Nomads for nothing

    Aang never once even hinted that lovin' Katara was forbidden or anything

    It's interesting how parents and kids don't have any relationship though, or even know each other. I'm not even sure if the parents themselves have any kind of marriage. That's something Tenzin didn't carry over, but you really can't when you're all living on one small island.

    Uh, seeing as he was the only master airbender after his father died, there's no way he could teach that many people unless he did nothing else with his time.

    And, frankly, he's way too reserved for that sort of lifestyle.

    I liked Zhao

    But Amon seriously knocked it out of the park in the finale

    He's maybe the best villain the franchise if only because he's actually fairly layered

    Miscarriage before marriage? Not on a kids show.

    And yet, somehow neither was an airbender.

    I think Aang realized it was flawed in practice . Had the entire Airbender people been in one place there's a good chance they wouldn't have been wiped out.

    Pretty sure Tenzin's family is more important until there are more than at least a single digit number of living airbenders in the world.

    The Acolytes continues the culture from the Air Nomads, only Tenzin and his children can produce Air-benders.

    The Acolytes continues the culture from the Air Nomads, only Tenzin and his children can produce Air-benders.

    We don't actually know the latter, and as to the former: there's a reason every air nomad was an airbender (and possibly why every one of Pema's children is an airbender, as opposed to Katara's children), and it was down to the spirituality of their culture.

    I'm almost positive that there's some confirmation that living in an air temple and embracing some aspect of the bending( like the kids and their gliders) will eventually produce airbenders again.

    If any fantasy universe in a cartoon originating on Nickelodeon ever portrays a homosexual - or other nonheteronormative - relationship as being normal, the Avatar world will be it

    We've already had boy-on-moon

    THat's

    That's something

    I dunno. It was more like boy-on-girl. Once she became a moon, the relationship was pretty much assumed to be over.

    Yeah I know.

    All I'm saying is that this show is really progressive for a kid's show on Nickelodeon. It's chipping away at assumed relationship norms. Pema being Tenzin's junior by 15 years isn't much, but it's something.

    Keep hoping for change, and making your voice heard

    It'll all come aright

    Avatar is getting a riddiculous amount of leeway as a brand. Two seasons ago they couldn't even make it clear someone died. This season they had the main villains off themselves in an incredibly no nonsense way.

    Sex is harder to get through then violence but if anyone has a shot they do.

    Funny story, early christians felt that all sex was bad, until we realized that you can perpetuate a religion of virgins....some people...didn't get the memo.
