When Avatar Yangchen (Tress MacNeille) appears before Aang (Zach Tyler Eisen) in Avatar: The Last Airbender, she gives him perhaps the harshest piece of advice any of his past lives have ever offered. While Aang desperately searches for a way to defeat Fire Lord Ozai (Mark Hamill) without compromising his Air Nomad beliefs, Yangchen tells him that “selfless duty calls you to sacrifice your own spiritual needs and do whatever it takes to protect the world.” It’s one of the defining moments of the original series, but for years, it also raised an obvious question: What kind of Avatar becomes willing to say something like that?
