I feel there should be a thread dedicated to the very first Avatar in existence. Mike and Bryan should fanart at Comic Con recently about the next season of The Legend of Korra. If I recall correctly, they also showed the first two episodes titled, "Beginnings" which featured a new character who was the first Avatar in existence named Wan. Let's make this a speculation thread about this character.

Wow, I never thought they would actually show the very first avatar. That'll be very exciting and strange. I can't wait to find out how the avatar came to be and how the world was back then.

I'm really looking forward to exploring this topic. I felt like the whole lion turtle/energy bending storyline was very conveniently thrown in the finale and wasn't really able to be throughly explained. So, it will be neat to see how life was before the Avatar and how/why the Avatar came to be.

I think it will be an interesting diversion, but I fear it being stuck in the episodes as a sub-plot. With twenty minutes and the already shortened seasons, I wonder how much character development we will lose with new present characters, and Wen here.

If I read correctly there is suppose to be two episodes (Beginning 1 and 2), so it seems like there will be significant time devoted to the development of the Wan storyline.

I'm just thinking of the Library storyline versus the actual day of black sun. Maybe I'm being a bit cynical.

Mike and Bryan apparently wanted to tell this story since Avatar the Last Airbender, but they could never work it into that show's storyarc.

Funny fact.
"Wan" is the Chinese word for 10,000. Which I find interesting seeing as the 1st Harmonic Convergence was 10,000 years ago.
It's also interesting with "Wan Shi Tong" as in "he who knows 10,000 things"

Wan, the First First Avatar. Korra, the Second First Avatar.
Since the cycle was rebooted.
