s from the respected shows is the

first

avatar Wan, in this video I'm going to break down his character and explain his story, but this video will be a little different instead of just straight information. I'm going to take a deeper look at the history of it and unpack deeper meanings before we begin. Make sure to hit the subscribe button and turn on notifications to make sure. You never miss a movie by playing a video and there will also be spoilers for all avatar content, especially the legend of korra.

Now let's start in the pre-avatar world, a time when humans and spirits were not separated by two different worlds when the bent nations were not heard. and the power to bend was in the hands of the lion Turtles there was a peasant boy named Wan at this time humans and spirits hated each other the spirits had come from the spirit world and had taken over the real world and were able to do this because the dark vaatu spirit that you saw the humans evolve or as he called it come out of the mud and hated them, wanted to stop these humans so he let the spirits run free to torment and scare them after Vox opened the portals .

To allow the spirits to do this, the two realms crossed over time, more and more spirits moving into the physical world of humans. Because of this, humans were forced to split up and settle on the backs of the lion turtles that housed cities and the lion turtles protected. they of the spirits the spirits at this time were much smarter and more powerful than humans and the humans lived in fear of them the spirits knew that there were different cities of lion turtles while the humans had no idea thinking they were lion turtles he said He was the only one in the world, each flying turtle possessed its own element that it could give to humans, whether it was water, earth, fire or air, and he gave his element to humans to protect them when they went to the spiritual jungle. to get food.

To his people, the peasant boy named Juan resided in the Lion Turtle City who had the power of fire in the city that the chosen ones ruled over all and were bathed in wealth and unlimited food, while the peasants like Juan and his friends Jaya and Yao half died of hunger. death, unlike other peasants, however, who believed that some people have power and others like them do not want us to believe that this one had an advantage over the other peasants, since he could move like no other and this allowed him to continually steal food . of the Jews, but one day he was captured and had little to show for his problems by having only a small piece of bread immediately, we see that Juan possessed traits that we would later see in future avatars, he is very powerful, agile, he is selfless and thinks in the others.

Before him, the biggest example is the fact that he gave his food to his friends and the animals did not take anything for him and we see that he has a natural way with all creatures, many different types of animals come to him in search of help and, like any avatar. Would He give them his food without thinking twice about their well-being or his hunger? I think while watching this most people believe that Juan is a humble and honest man because he is the

first

avatar. He is selfless. It's supposed to be everything you'd expect. since the first avatar after seeing so many wise avatars after him, but since I myself took a deeper look at his story, I'm going to go against public opinion and say that Bran is in no way humble or honest, In fact, it's the opposite.

While it is a trait that many villains have and it is the fact that he craves power when told that he has no power, he has an evil smile and says not yet, which also shows how off the hook Beliya is, there is no doubt in the world of that. He can do things that others cannot and this is a constant theme throughout his

life

that I will point out whenever he comes up, although he is also very dishonest. His biggest goal at this point in his story is to simply steal from you. Jews and more could deserve it.

This is very dishonest and not what you would expect from the first avatar. Plus, he manipulates people. The best example is when he joins the hunters in the spirit wilds just so we can gain power. of the lion turtle's firebending only to lie and say he's afraid so we can go back to the city and use the firebending he stole to steal more from the Jews and to top it all off he's breaking the number one rule the city has . When incorporating firebending, as you can see, he's not the most honest or humble guy. However, he is very selfless.

After breaking into Cheese's fortress, he allows all of his friends to escape while he takes off his shoes and, when he is captured, he refuses. He tells the Jews that they helped him even though he knows that this will lead to him returning from the city and being sentenced to life imprisonment in the dangerous spiritual jungle. It's also worth mentioning that he asked for the chance to take one of the chosen lives, but chooses not to. and the two children say that even when he has power he is afraid to use it, another early trait that most avatars possess, especially Egg, who refused to kill Fire Lord Ozai.

The lion turtles allow Juan to maintain his Firebending before being banished to the spiritual jungle. and we see that fire is the first element in the Avatar cycle when one is banished to the spiritual jungle, he literally goes crazy in the first stretch and is there the next morning, however, he finds a spiritual Oasis when he is denied access, once again we see Juan. He tries to manipulate others by posing as a spirit to get in, but seeing that his spirits are much more intelligent than humans, they obviously catch him now analyzing this and analyzing deeper meanings.

One thing I would like to point out for Juan's character is a pattern that I noticed that whenever Juan does something truly arrogant, he immediately follows up by showing a disinterest, first stealing from the chosen one to get food and then giving away all of his food. to the others, then breaking into the chosen one's fortress but protecting everyone with him even though he knows. will be banished and this time after trying to manipulate the spirits, the scene that follows is one where he finds a captured cat deer and for a moment considers eating it because he is starving, but then realizes that the right thing to do is set him free while you do this, however, he confronts the hunters he manipulated earlier and uses his knowledge of the wild spirits to keep them away and the spirits, seeing this, help him and save his life, they put him in the water of your spiritual oasis. which will sin a little, not to future waterbending healers like Katara, the spirits impressed with the selflessness and care of living creatures take one and give him food and from then on trust him after the spirits They say they have never seen anything like it. act of altruism by a human before Juan again says that he is not like other humans, another arrogant line hissed this time showing him that he sees himself as better than other humans, this shows that he is very cocky, but this It's part of everyone's personality and one of the reasons why he's able to do such wonderful things is a far cry from what one would think would be the first avatar, but in the end it fits, one finally says he's done with it. humans for a while and chooses to stay in the spiritual jungle and learn the way. from the spirits something that no human had done before mainly because the spirits did not allow this to happen because they hate humans, but something about Juan was different since he himself said that he was not like other humans, he could connect with all the living . life like no other Juan befriended the cat deer he had saved and after naming him a mule he became the first avatar creature something that many avatars after him would have liked Appa for Aang Nala for Korra or even Fang for Roku one He may have had the ability to use firebending, but he was not a master at it and this was true until he learned from the first firebenders, two dragons, who taught him how to make his firebending an extension of his body, after training.

With them, he was able to move with their control like no other. Humans had never been able to do it before and the classic move known as the dancing dragon was created, a method of teaching people how to use firebending that would

last

for the rest of time and we saw Aang and Zuko use it in the original series. One uses firebending. to protect the spirits of humans who came from their ancient city and when the men returned to the city with stories of wands and power seen, the actions once inspired their old friends Jaya Yao and many others to leave the city made by the chosen one from whom they were fired. the Lion Turtles and chose to live in the spiritual nature just like WAN.

However, they did not possess the ability to connect with all living beings the way Wan could and because of this they became a threat to the spirits who destroyed all life around them after spending a long time learning the ways of the spirits, one finally bid farewell to them and traveled to find the other lion turtle cities on his journey. Wan met raava and vaatu, the two spirits that balanced light and darkness as they fought, one was scared. for the lives with humans and spirits as they cost a lot of damage and after being manipulated by Box you thought that raava was the villain in this saved vaatu who released the dark spirit.

Raava became angry at WAN and told him that humans had no place interfering in spirit business, she was completely against humans at this point in her character arc, although this would later change after Raava left Wan. , finally found the lion tortoise city that harnessed the power of the air. Roli was there, no matter how you appeared. throwing the good spirits at the bad ones who began to destroy the city and Wong used his firebending to keep them at bay and with the help of raava who finally appeared, they successfully drove away the dark spirits after raava told Juan that Its darkness attracted the light and this vanished.

Being fully represented by how big Vaati had become and how small Raava had become, Juan and Raava chose to team up, the owner of the airline will allow Duan to gain the power of air in addition to his firebending, but due to because no human had ever had two elements at the same time. At the same time, the lion turtle made Rafa have power for him until she overpowered him. Here is another example of Juan's arrogance and arrogance when he tells the lion turtle that he is not like other humans and that he can handle having two items at once despite the fact that no other human has ever done this before. and ultimately, it is his arrogance that persuades the lion turtle to grant him this power.

This is what separates Juan from other humans. The fact that he pushes himself beyond the limits of humanity and even though he was once the chosen one. As the Avatar cycle begins, his arrogance may seem like a bad trade-off, but it is actually one of his best and the interesting part is that all Avatars after him are expected to be humble and not at all cocky, the complete opposite of John 1. and set the precedent for What did it mean to be the avatar by mitigating the opposite? Now that Juan and Raava had joined forces, they now had a chance to face Vaatu, but only if they did it together.

Raava warned Juan, however, that they must stop Foxy before harmonic convergence for a while. When he will be able to take control and end the world, she tells him that this will happen in a year, a plot very similar to the original series where Aang managed to master the four elements and almost at the same time stop Fire Lord Ozai. Before Sozen's comment, this makes one realize that he has to master the air and find the other Lion Turtles to gain more power and have more elements to bend, while obtaining air was not easy, however, the The only way to do it was to always pass through his body. so they could combine their energies something that had never been tried before and was very dangerous raava was against it but once again we see Juan's lack of humility and crazy arrogance when he tells raava that they said the same thing about the dangers of living in the Spirit Wilds and he did it alone when no one thought he could do it, so this should be easy for a man as talented and strong as him.

When Juan gains the power of air, he realizes how completely different he is compared to controlling fire, finally mastering it. just like he did with fire and then gained the ability to bend water and earth in the order in which these elements are obtained, but then he decides the pattern of the Avatar cycle first fire, then air, then water and finally earth and this The cycle repeats itself for the rest of the time, each time Raava passed by to give him a new item, Juan became less and less human each time he receivedan incredible surge of power and his body changed the more he practiced, the God stronger and eventually became less mortal and more divine. foreshadowing the crazy power that he and all his future lives will have, the avatars may be human but they were not mortal, they possessed more power than anyone in the world and one set the precedent for this during his training, he did not hold back and pushed his human body to new limits to ensure he can protect the world and save it from Foxhill Huang got his first test as a bridge between the two worlds and species when he found himself in the middle of a fight between humans and spirits.

However, it was incredibly difficult for him because his best human friends were on one side and his best spiritual friends were on the other, both of which had a major impact on his life during different parts of his journey after he realized that he did not possess the power to stop it. The fight that had the idea of ​​him and Raava combining their energies by doing this allowed Wand to control all four elements at once for the first time and this stopped the fight for a second, but almost killed Wan Raava who began his journey. with Wan.

Disliking him in all other humans, she now grew up to care for him and she saved Juan's life. This came at a cost, but after her because without Wan the fight continued making Bot grow stronger and Raava weaken when Wan woke up, it was his turn to save Rafa, repaying him for saving his life moments before, let's see what happened. He became closer during his mission and they both cared about each other so much that they were willing to die for him. Another raava told Wan that she was wrong about him and said that she never thought a human was capable of such nobility and courage;

However, she gave up thinking that Foxy would want what Wan was not willing to give up so easily. Wan travels south. border of the spiritual world where the mortal and spiritual worlds met and there he encountered vasu thoughts, he laughed and wants face saying that no human could face him, but one who was no longer a normal man responded saying that he was not a human normal. While trying to fight Vox he won his but when it became clear that this was not possible Raava put himself inside Wan and the two became one, the two together were incredibly powerful but when it became clear to Raava that if she he stayed inside. of Wand would die she told him he had to leave it but one refused saying that if he left it Vox would destroy everything anyway he told her that they had to finish it and they had to finish it together one fought harder than ever but it wasn't until he used the power of the spirit portal that managed to bring him to what would later be known as the Avatar state and allowed him to finally dominate vaatu and lock him away for the next 10,000 years entering the world.

The state assured that Raava being inside Juan would not kill him, but would bind them together forever. One would close the portal from the mortal world to the spirit world to ensure that no humans could enter and free the foxes. All the spirits left the mortal world and returned. to the spirit world and one said goodbye to his close spiritual friends that he had made on his journey. Juan became the bridge between the two worlds, ensuring that he was the only one capable of connecting and communicating with both. He then went on to teach humans to respect spirits so that balance could be maintained, seeing that Juan was the ultimate protector of the world, the lion.

The Turtles no longer saw the need to protect humanity in this new era that Juan had begun. , they left the humans to their fate and never gave them the chance. power of the elements again had to be born with him now that voxi was locked away and raava was safe within him Juan had a new mission to make the different groups of people from all the lion turtle cities unite and live as one. They would be separated by each nation water earth fire and air he would use the light spirit of raava to guide the world towards peace and raava was his version of past lives that he could talk to you and receive advice just as later avatars would have done him. for himself and many other past lives to speak to you for guidance.

Going for peace was much more difficult than he thought. However, he worked his entire life to make this goal come true, but in the end he realized that it was impossible to have a total life. peace all the time towards the end of his life a very old Juan participated in a very bloody and destructive battle that led to the death of many people he tried to break up the fight but it was useless he stayed there on the battlefield wounded and dying knowing He had failed in his mission and had run out of time before dying.

He apologized to Raava saying that he had failed to bring peace even with Vaatu locked up. Darkness still surrounded humanity and he said their time was up. Raava spoke to him, however, taught him not to worry because they would be together to make this goal a reality for all of Juan's lives and would never give up when Juan took his

last

breath. Raava left him and went to his next life and an

airbender

was born. Being the next avatar Bonds' legacy had a huge impact on the world and was one that would endure forever. Fight this.

The history of him along with most of the knowledge of his time was lost over the years. Over time, there are not many avatars when his back is. wan to ask for advice focusing more on avatars who were more current and had a better understanding of what the world was like at that time a statue of John remained in the Hall of Avatar Statues the statue depicts John being embraced by an image of raava The statue was However, it was unusual because it was made of wood, while most of the others were made of stone and because this statue fell apart over time.

Avatar Korra summoned her in her past life 10,000 years in the future when she lost her memory and he told her that he found raava to help restore her memory after suffering from amnesia, she finally did this and heard Juan's story and this told her. restored memory. Korra did not like Juan's decision to close the portals and eventually opened them again to usher in a new era of humans and spirits living together before this, although Korra made a grave mistake while fighting Una la Una, luck manipulated her and she finally took raava out of her and tried to kill the avatar spirit, this led to all of the avatar's past lives being cut off and WAN. and all the other avatars before Korra were gone forever, making Korra not the first avatar in the cycle taking one's place as the first avatar.

It wasn't like one would think that the first avatar would be cocky, arrogant and very humble, but he was selfless. and he set the precedent for how the avatar is supposed to act by doing the complete opposite in many ways, his actions caused great changes in the world. He is the reason we have our favorite avatars, be it Aang Kyoshi Roku, etc. He will always go down in history for having changed the world more than anyone throughout all time.
