With the arrival ofNetflixlive-actionAvatar: The Last Airbender, interest has been reignited in the original animated series.
While the series is often hailed a near sacred classic, theres always a big what if among fans.
What if there had been more?
The original show did end with some loose threads after all.
He revealed onhis personal Twitterthat at one point a fourth season of the series was briefly considered.
The shows original ending left her in chains after shed been overpowered by Zuko and Katara.
Her mind shattered, the once powerful woman having a complete mental breakdown.
Ehaszs plans for the fourth season would have involved Azula being given a redemption arc.
There was a period where Mike said, Hey, can you run season four?
Then some of those plans got interrupted.
Ehasz reaffirmed his earlier stated plans for a longer arc for Azula but also divulged additional details.
My feeling about that was like theres always a cost, right?
Theres always some balance.
You cant just be like Im the Avatar, taking your powers away.
Its a great power, but part of it is you just took all this evil into you.
To take it away from someone else youre holding onto it to protect the world.
By the way, guess who would be the best person to have a mini vacation with?
Someone whos processed a lot of anger on his own, right?
Ehasz stated other storylines included one around the spirit world featuring Iroh.
In particular Aang started to wonder if this was the reincarnation of Gyatso.
That was something I wanted to do and talk about the idea of friendships lasting beyond lifetimes.
Obviously some right decisions were made.
Still, as Ehasz puts it, we had a fourth season if the world had deemed it.
