For all the imagery and allusions to storms / cycles / repetitions, really it's about quelling the storms that rage within, letting ourselves evolve from the moments where we once froze, to moments we can now glide on air... All with killer funny lines and delivery along the way.

Aang's human and these are the first friends he's ever had. He doesn't want to part ways with them and thus commits a selfish act to keep them around longer. Characterization is one thing; but rigid adherence to characterization is another. Rigid adherence is too stale.
-
Not the first friends he's ever had, but still, the vast majority of his other friends are long dead (with one confirmed exception), and he only found out in... what, the past month or two? Definitely makes sense that he'd make mistakes out of fear of losing these two.

I guess I'm bothered by how this ep ignores the side of Aang that's really welcoming of diversions and happy for his friends. Maybe if this had been a 2-parter and they had more time to realize Aang's sense of isolation, it would feel less jarring to me.

But this isn't a diversion along the way, this is them leaving him, plus he now has all the urgency time after the solstice.

Spot on! He's afraid, if Sokka and Katara leave... he literally has no one else to go back to (well, Bumi perhaps, but still). That makes what he did more understandable and poignant: Aang's entire world is gone. Sokka and Katara are his only active links after 100 years.

I feel like a big part of Last Airbender is that Aang is a genuinely good and kind kid, but he's also very much a kid. He doesn't have the wise beyond his years emotional-intelligence of Steven Universe
