The film version of Aang is more brooding than his cartoon counterpart, feeling guilty for his responsibility as the Avatar and showing dispair for being The Last Airbender. He also remains hopeful and optimistic, inspiring all the Earthbender imprisoned in a Fire Nation prison camp to fight back.

Trivia[]
- According to the novelization, Aang is 13 years old instead of 12, meaning they aged him up by a year.
- Live-action Aang is more brooding than his more happy to lucky cartoon counterpart. Another complaint for the movie was the fact that his name was pronounced like "Ohng" instead of "Aang."
- Instead of having Roku guide him, Aang consults with a dragon spirit. In the original cartoon Roku had a pet dragon named Fang, who was his lifelong companion and may have served his inspiration for the Dragon Spirit.
- Another inconsistency in the 2010 film is that according to Aang, no Avatar is allowed to have a family. However, this contradicts the TV show, where past Avatars married and have families of their own. In the original continuity Aang and Katara married and had three children and four grandchildren of their own. Roku was Azula and Zuko's maternal great-grandfather, Kuruk was engaged to a woman, Ummi, and Kyoshi has a daughter, Koko.
