Fandom: Further stop press! It's canon, now, y'all!

Another signal boost. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal over here, the interviewer inquired of the ATLA creators, asking:

If Tenzin is Aang’s son, who is his mother?

And lo! the creators answered him and said:

We can say that, right? ... It's Katara. It's not a huge surprise.

And there was much rejoicing, but also wailing and grinding of teeth.

Lots of good info in this piece, and a refreshingly sensible attitude toward female heroic leads. Share and enjoy.
