Let's say Nickelodeon makes a "What If?" show for ATLA. What kind of episodes would you like to see? (lemm.ee)

For example,

What if Zuko joined Team Avatar at the end of S1/start of S2?
What if Lu Ten lived?

For atla, I think if there was no wait for the avatar. Roku dies, Aang is born and is sent to the water tribes in secret once he masters air where he meets Katara and Sokka.

I think an atla version of a lot of things could be good, but most of all I want to see Korra where Zutara happened. You could wind up with a fire lord named Iroh who’s a waterbender.

For scenario one, would that mean Roku lives longer and doesnt die on the island? Or Katara and Sokka somehow get born 100 years earlier?

Regarding a water bender firelord, I'm wondering whether there actually is some kind of prerequisite that a firelord must be a firebender

I’m thinking the characters we care about are born a hundred years earlier. Kya is killed in the first strike against the water tribes. Hakota leaves on an immediate counter offensive to disrupt their naval supply lines as a newly appointed war chief. Ozai and Iroh are Sozin’s children. Very little has to be changed for Toph to show up. Basically the story goes from fighting an industrialized military that’s near victory to fighting one that’s just wrecking everyone’s shit and had just destroyed and scattered the air nomads. They’re still around in hiding and some have abandoned pacifism.

For the latter that’s what I think is interesting. The government was torn down and restructured after a fascist regime. I can’t imagine Zuko denying his child the title for being a waterbender, but I also can’t imagine that resulting in a stable fire nation. It would likely drive a lot of the conflict there.
