"Wan" is the first Avatar.
Is this some kind of bad pun with his name sounding similar to "One"?

I'm wondering if revealing how everything started is a good idea or they should have left it a secret as it happened 10000 year ago?

He's going to be Korra's Obi Wan.
>> No. 113087
"Wan" is Chinese for 10,000.

As in Wan Shi Tong, he who knows 10,000 things.

nah, the pun is "juan"

Tell that to both the SWJs and the people racist against Hispanics and watch them destroy each other in the aftermath. We can kill two birds with Wan stone.

First look at Avatar Wan's friend Larry Butz
>> No. 113162
>>113158

That's young Avatar Wan
>> No. 113218
>>113087
Why is he named after how many years he lived before Korra? That doesn't make any sense.

>>113089
He doesn't even have the name "He who knows 10,000 things", he's just 10,000.
>> No. 113222
>>113218
He knew the future and when he becomes relevant to the plot.
>> No. 113229
>>113218
It could also mean "ball" (丸) or "play" (玩), but in my personal opinion it's probably "done/finished/complete" (完).
>> No. 113231
>>113218
>Why is he named after how many years he lived before Korra? That doesn't make any sense.
are you implying wan's parents named him that because they knew in 10,000 years there would be a girl named korra who would need to find out more about the relationships humans have with spirits and go searching through the spirit world for their son?
>> No. 113236
>>113231
Well, what could the reason be? He isn't name Wan Shi Tong, he who knows ten thousand things. He's just named ten thousand.

>>113229
Doesn't it also mean "eternity"?
>> No. 113242
So it turns out Wan isn't an energybender and is instead a firebender?
>> No. 113243
>>113242
regular elemental bending was already a thing by the time was was born.
>> No. 113253
What was the world like when there was only energybending?
>> No. 113276

Dragonball Z but with faster pacing.
>> No. 113323
>>113276
I never watched Dragonball Z.
>> No. 113333
If Wan says anything about auras, Ty Lee's ancestry confirmed.
>> No. 113334
>>113333
So many people could probably trace their family trees back to this guy it's a moot point. Kind of like how a lot of people are related to royalty if you look hard enough.
>> No. 113335
He is obviously a non-bender who got imbued with the Avatar spirit.

Suck on that Equalists.
>> No. 113340
>>113335
You see a younger Han firebending in the trailer so I don't think that's likely.
>> No. 113348
