I think “The Last Airbender” was a bit\u00a0exaggerated. Aang was seemingly the Last Airbender, but now there is at least a few in the Tenzin family (its unclear how many more Air Nomad tribes there are, maybe it’s in the Nick.com game, I can’t remember).<\/p>\n

Anyway! I don’t think we’ve seen the last of the Air line and we still haven’t learned the rules about birthing new benders. It seems like you can have two different bending powers in the family (Mako\/Bolin) but each parent would need to be a bender (so Mako\/Bolin’s parents are theoretically a fire bender and an earth bender).<\/p>\n

Also, Meelo is really young, but maybe the hidden sadness is that Meelo represents the sole male in the third new generation of Airbenders.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Three generations from now, when the Avatar is an Airbender again, will there only be a few hundred airbenders? Less?<\/p>\n

I’m hoping this gets addressed in The Promise comic because it seems like that’d be a good place to mention the lost Air Bison Herd that Aang finds between Book Three and Korra. Since the Air Bison taught Airbenders bending, maybe they had started spreading they’re knowledge to more Air Nomads?<\/p>\n

Point being, there’s so much back history in this world we’re not going to get in the remaining 8 episodes.<\/p>\n
