Avatar Cycle Confusion

[Horyo]

Can anyone tell me what these elements are? Presumably, everyone's in order.

I only sharpened and enhanced brightness and contrast.

Excluding Korra, the four most recent Avatars starting from most recent to least are Air (Aang), Fire (Roku), Earth (Kyoshi), Water (Kuruk). idk if that was just a hiccup/glitch, but it's still fuzzy and difficult to tell what those elements are supposed to be. It does look like Fire, Air, Earth, Fire, but idk.

Hmm, the two behind Avatar Jafar and Yangchen look like Fire and Earth to me, and then the two behind Kuruk look like Air and Fire. But it looks like there might be more people behind Kyoshi as well?

-- Yup. There's a clearer (though smaller) screenshot of that scene on the front page of Nick.com/Korra, and there's an Earthbender and Waterbender in the rows behind Kyoshi.

They were probably in no particular order besides the main four before Aang and judging by their clothing it's fire, earth, air, and fire.

So I read on TVTropes that it's possible some of the avatars inbetween died as children and never reached their fully realized state.

This is, of course, neglecting the blatant animation goof.

I'd say it's way more likely to be an animation goof. Bryke probably said "need a picture of all the avatars going backwards from Aang, kthxbye"

Or they could be cross-nation-dressers...

;D cute. It's slightly off topic but it is certainly interesting that people don't really wear clothes from the other nations. Even Bolin and Mako dress in accordance with the element they bend even though genetically they would be just as connected to the other element.

On topic: My personal bet is what attonbittus said. Mostly likely they were just banking on no one looking too closely.
