How could you KNOW Aang is "not the greatest Avatar"? Do you have the history of every Avatar's career?

My exclamation was just that: an exclamation, out of, y'know, enthusiasm.

Seriously, though, Aang accomplished so much. He saved the world when he was only twelve or thirteen, which is before most other Avatars even were told of their identity. He was the youngest airbending master in history. He's one of a select few Avatars to learn energybending. He founded a whole new nation, the United Republic, and began to rebuild his own after its near total annihilation.

Based on all that we DO know, he accomplished more than any other Avatar we know of. That includes Korra (so far), and he'd learned and done more than Korra when he was several years younger than her (e.g., he had either mastered or was at least quite proficient with every bending art, had gained complete control of the Avatar State, and saved the entire world). The creators themselves said that Korra is "in awe" of Aang, and I have little doubt she'd agree: Best. Avatar. Ever.
