Before Aang, before Korra, there was Wan. In this episode of Avatar: Braving the Elements, Janet Varney (Korra) and Dante Basco (Zuko) are joined again by Seychelle Gabriel, the voice of Asami, to explore the origin of the Avatar cycle and the mythic battle between light and darkness. As Korra journeys into the past, we witness Wan’s transformation from a street-smart trickster into the bridge between humans and spirits. Along the way, we meet lion turtles, spirit creatures, and the two cosmic forces - Raava and Vaatu - whose eternal battle shaped the world as we know it. Plus, we dive into the gorgeous animation style, the mystery of hybrid animals, and the surprising role of Fire Nation healing.
