* BadassBoast: Vaatu boasts that no human can defeat him several times during the battle, and quite awesomely too. Wan gets one, too.
--> '''Wan''': Haven't you heard the legends? I'm not a regular human anymore.


Added DiffLines:

** Except for the part where the spirits and humans from the fire lion turtle line up and the settlers point out that many of their own have been killed by spirits. The contempt that spirits show humans is also shown as unjustified as the humans are just doing what they have to do to survive. On the whole, the issue is presented as "The spirits have a point, but they go so overboard with it it's essentially FantasticRacism on both sides".

* BirthDeathJuxtaposition: Wan breaths his last breath on an unknown battlefield. As Raava leaves him in that breath she tells him that she will always be with him and they'll keep fighting. When the screen fades to white, a baby is heard crying, symbolizing that Avatar cycle has been started and the second Avatar had been born.

Added DiffLines:

* [[CantArgueWithElves Can't Argue With Spirits]]: There were no spirits in the Human World before Vaatu broke through the barrier between realities, at which point the spirits followed through the polar portals. When the few surviving humans struggle to survive on the DeathWorld their planet has become, the spirits charge humans with being violent and destructive worthy only of contempt, and the show does little to defend humanity's actions... despite the spirits being aggressive colonizers who have no qualms about exterminating the natives whenever they get in their way.

* KickTheDog: After Wan fails to stop his spirit friends from fighting his human friends, Vaatu shows up just to tell him that the humans all died in the battle.



* SealedEvilInACan: Vatu is sealed in a tree in the spirit realm, and in turn Wan sealed the portals at the poles to keep humans from ever freeing him.

Added DiffLines:

* PowersAsPrograms: Due to the way elemental powers works, Wan is incapable of wielding more than one at a time, instead having to swap them out with Raava's help as necessary. It's only when he fuses with her that he gains the power to wield all four at once, and he gets the Avatar State once their fusion is made permanent.
