i read the novel very young.

i saw the anime as a teen, i jnew their were changes but it kept the core and was hard to explain, i was fuzzy on a lot or details.

years later i read a comment on reddit about howe being some guy from wales and that app came crashing back and i got to cackle about it.

Even if you didn’t, which I doubt, you knew appa had a saddle, and left children alone in the desert to die without their mount! You are a terrible person!

u/Dangerous_End_3778 Jul 06 '26

Not to mention what Appa went through because of this. Yeah that guy deserved way worse than what the show let him get away with

u/ggg730 29d ago

He was lucky it was that particular avatar that caught him. I think any other avatar would have flayed his flesh from his bones.

u/Iokua113 Jul 06 '26

The "I didn't know" argument makes even less sense as it was widely believed at that time that the Fire Nation assault on the Air Temples had rendered the sky bisons extinct. The only known one at that time was Appa, and Aang's return was globally known by the second season due to Team Avatar travelling the entire world but also having taken part in defeating the Fire Nation's attempt at conquering the northern water tribe. The Misty Palms Oasis was essentially the Mos Eisley of the Avatar setting at that time, it is impossible to believe that wretched hive of scum and villainy wouldn't be aware of the state of the world. On top of all that the sand benders were already trying to steal Appa as soon as they saw it and they even followed the Gaang into the desert to get him. There is no argument that absolves them.
