The Problem with Rey: Why Aang is the Perfect Hero

This video essay compares the narrative design of Avatar Aang from ATLA and Star Wars' Rey Skywalker. See why Avatar The Last Airbender makes Kathleen Kennedy's Star Wars look silly. In this video: 🔹 What makes a hero’s journey actually work? 🔹 Why does Aang’s growth feel real, while Rey’s feels forced? 🔹 How does mentorship shape their journeys differently? We break down why one of these characters became a legend—and why the other left fans frustrated. 💬 Let me know in the comments: Do you think Rey’s story could have worked if she struggled more? What would you change?
