Aang's age has never bothered me. The story, even with the magic kung fu, is a coming-of-age story. Basically we've watched the boy (Season 1 Episode 1) become a young man (current episodes). Is he prone to goofing off? Sure. So am I. Just wait until comic-con. I will be a 32 year old complete goofball. LOL

I believe that Aang should be 12, because this gives him a childish sortta attitude which I like. If he were 16 he may be more serious, which would sometimes make the show dull. There isin't anything wrong with being 12 and dating Katara, a 14 year old.

It may seem awkward now, but when they're older it won't seem so bad. (They'll have a better handle on their hormones at that point anyway.)
Seriously, when I was 15 and a freshman in high school I dated a 19-year-old senior. And I'm borderline 20 and I've been in relationships of guys much older and much younger than me. Trust me, once you're older, a two-year age difference is like nothing. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I find the coming-of-age thing to be a bit cheap. Not the idea, the idea is fine, but how the creators decided to simply have Aang be told his identity four years early because of FN attacks. It makes Aang seem childish because of his age not his personality. Had Aang been 16 it would serve to strengthen the bond he has with Zuko and subsequently Roku and Sozin and appease the fans who see Aang as too childish and young. Katara would be younger and the responsible motherly figure and Aang would be older and childish and so not call accusations of pedophilia (which is incorrect anyway).

So aang is a tween..and currently there dominating
from what I'm reading...it all about perception of reality and how we see fit. So we don't like the idea of aang current age for reason that seem not our liken either shipping, personality, or some other personal interest. I think there more to the story then just what people say when we think of aang...as childish.

I think it was fine that Aang was 12 years old. It does offer him the ability to be kind of childish because of his age.
