Alot of people have been trying to compare Bolin to Sokka, but personally, i think he's more like Aang.

I first thought this after Korra messed up in the pro-bending match and Mako was looking all angry and annoyed, and Bolin sort of bowed his head and put his two index fingers together. That little one-second gesture reminded me of something Aang would do, not Sokka. In a situation like that Sokka would've spazzed out or something, but Aang would've handled it peacefully.

I also think Bolin had Aang's sense of humor more than Sokka's. Sokka was more pessimistic and sarcastic, contrasting to Aang who was optimistic, a bit naive, and had an innocent sense of humor. I think Bolin's humor reflects Aang's more than Sokka's if you look at it that way.

Also, just in styles of fighting I can actually find more comparision to Aang than Sokka (even though Bolin and Aang are Earth and Air- opposites). When Bolin was bending with Korra in the gym he told her to be light on her feet (evidently Bolin's style of Earthbending is different from what we've seen before, particuarly Toph), and Aang is definitely light on his feet. Their teaching methods are similar too, as they both are quite calm and mellow.

In conclusion, Bolin is an innocent optimist with a bright sense of humor and swift teaching methods. I find those characteristics more similar to Aang's rather than Sokka's, who quite frankly, was the opposite. (I am not trying to say that Bolin is the new Aang or whatever, I'm just saying that if people are making comparisons, he's alot more similar to Aang than Sokka.)
