Aang also spent 100 years in an iceberg. Though, I think that number should be closer to 80.
Nah it's right. TLK is set 70 years after TLA. Korra is 16 years old which leaves 54 years. So Aang would have died at 66/67, depenind how you count his age in the first series.

Even counting the iceberg Aang still got kind of shafted. Kyoshi lived 230 years.
Though it is possible the iceberg years weren't 1:1.

Could be all the time he spent in the spirit world and the fact that
he died once already.
Alternate Theory: Amon killed him.
Didn't she usher in an era of peace, which is why Kuruk had nothing to do and was a lazy ass Avatar?
If she did, I don't know how. She let an evil emperor take over the entire world and only intervened when he showed up on her doorstep. Even then, what she did was separate her home from the continent. Real hands on.
You're thinking of Yangchen.

Which, in turn, killed him, thus ending his reign.
She also said she would have killed him anyway if he contineud like that. Oh well, at least she did a little bit more than Kuruk
You're right. I have to regain my honour!
As far as I can tell, it was accidental. What sort of idiot angrily stomps about on the edge of a cliff?

How much more of the world would he have had to conquer for her to do something?
Relying on the stupidity of others does not a good Avatar make.

Which is easy of her to say, but then why didn't she do something earlier?
Mako is amon. It's so cliche it's going to happen.
Why would being frozen in ice, perpetually young, affect his lifespan afterwards?

Kuruk is seriously like the lamest Avatar ever. The greatest crisis he ever faced in his time was when his wife lost hers, and he couldn't even kill the bad guy for it.
btw, the "Welcome to Republic City" flash thing is really cool and offers some new information, like the other councilmen etc. Plus nice music and art. Check it out!

Never said it did. There were probably lots of asshole Avatars.
Amazing.

The biography indicates that he's Tenzin's rival on the council. Basically the slimy politician archetype. I like that Korra is more political than the original series, there should be some interesting dynamics at play while they debate how to deal with the Equalists.
I'm now assuming that Tenzin didn't want to leave Republic City because that would leave Tarrlok unopposed.
Yes, I'm definitely looking forward to this as well. I wonder if they will adress the four nations in general as well seeing that they have been given 14 more episodes than initially planned. I want to know how the situation is like between them now.
Mhh you might be onto something here. Tarrlok as a slimy politician combined with the 'threat' of the Equalists really do make for a rather unstable situation.

You're not a super fan because you clearly haven't read The Promise yet. The entire plotline is about the Harmony Restoration Movement and Zuko's mother.

Maybe because he was in Avatar State the whole time iirc.
Ouch. Okay, "Big Fan", not "Super Fan". I had heard about The Promise but I hadn't actually read it.
I was actually thinking they might reveal something past the Promise Part I, but of course they didn't ^^
Yep, and the creators stated that by being frozen ind that block of ice Aang used up a significant chunk of his Avatar life force.
btw, I felt a big lump in my throat on the White Lotus page where they mentioned how Aang realized his health was failing
Another interesting info is that the people living on Air Temple island are called Air Acolytes. I want to know more on that! And if Pema was an acolyte before she met/married Tenzin.
I think they're carrying on the cultural traditions of the Air Nomads. If you think about it, their pacifistic tendancies/philosophy are probably very attractive.
I still think the most interesting thing, aside from the bender/non-bender thing, is going to be the melting pot that is Republic City, and the ways in which the divide between boundaries and nations is no longer going to be anywhere nearly as clear cut.

But how and why did it start. Did people just start to follow Aang? I wanna know!
The Promise showing the beginning of that really was the best part of the comic for me so far.

'Cause he's a Firebender obviously.
