That made me chuckle. :D

Your point is invalid, as I did not change anything. I said the previous Avatars did indeed have strong enemies to face. That's what made it interesting, because the weight of the world was on their shoulders. And, since they're all different, it makes it fun to watch and see what road they take to solve these big problems.

That being said, I did not say they NEED a strong enemy, only that all of the previous ones had such an enemy. That's kind of what you'd expect, since the Avatar needs someone to rival his/her power. Otherwise the world would be in peace and no one would do anything to tempt the Avatar - as they could silence them easily.

The reason why I said the show doesn't NEED a really powerful enemy is because the episodes where Aang fights local crime and trouble-makers were rather interesting. It never got boring, even though he wasnt't always changing the world on a large scale. With good main and supporting characters, you can have the Avatar fighting crime throughout the whole season and make it interesting, even if they don't have to face any one man/women with too much power.

The Avatar doesn't really have a choice in being born or not, and they have to live up to their duties either way. Perhaps the creators wanted to focus on other, more realistic issues - such as in everyday life - rather than a some-what cliche setting, which was still awesome the way Avatar executed it.
