His reasoning for the pronunciation change was the worst too. "Aang is stylized after a tibetan monk, whose named would be pronounced as "Aung" were he truly from there. as such we've decided to hold him to the real world aesthetics his character was designed around in order to add realism to the character."
yeah, well the character is an american made cartoon with his name already set by the creators.
That's like someone coming in and saying "Bruce Lee is an iconic person whom everyone knows, but it isn't the name he was born with. In order to better remember and personify who we was we will now change his name in all forms of literature and history to his original chinese birth name. because it's where he was born and not where his name "Bruce Lee" came from."
way to slaughter your fan base on flimsy reason on a decision that shouldnt have been yours to make.
