I think Sozin would try and push his agenda too strongly he wanted fire nation to be in control to help push progress and bring their success to the rest of the world. But he wanted it to be on his terms. I am not too sure how the Air Nomads would react since they are very peaceful, but the Earth Kingdom is very nationalistic would push back and would be a nightmare to deal with politically for Sozin. Roku would help a lot with tensions and would work hard to bring compromise between the leaders I just don't know how much Sozin and whoever was Earth Monarch at the time.
Maybe Roku would have talked to Szeto about what to do Szeto being an Avatar before him and facing political problems inside the fire nation would have some advice for Roku.
This also doesn't take into account the two water tribes. Keeping all sides Politically happy would have been quite the task.

Places in the real world exist near volcanos. I do think it was a risk though for sure. I'd imagine the survivors were given assistance afterward.

I don't think it started like that, he seemed to genuinely want to share his nation's prosperity with the rest of the world. Somewhere along the line it ended up being about being the ultimate ruler of it all. I raised the point, more so thinking if he had the guidance of avatar, maybe the whole conflict could've been avoided instead of the, "lol, no" he got. Which wasn't really the wrong answer, but the whole thing was swept under the rug.

It, it surely wouldn't have been easy by any means, just interesting to think that the whole war maybe could've been avoided if things were handled differently. Or maybe it'd be the same anyway.

I know, that's why I pointed it out. It's so risky. I'd assume so.

His intentions were noble originally and yes the answer Roku gave was not the most helpful even a let me think about this would have been better since I think Sozin while annoyed would have let him think since it's pretty big. Still, the way I see it is say Roku agrees to an extent Sozin would still have to push for the fire nation's status as if he gives too much or the people think he is giving to much he and his nation could be seen as weak. They go around and have to work out deals with each nation and those leaders more so in the Earthkingdom would also want to not be seen as weak. If things go wrong its war.

This actually sounds like a really interesting what-if scenario less about having to prove yourself in combat but behind politics.
Maybe it is going fairly well until one day Roku Island erupts as it does in canon and Roku passes away though why Sozin doesn't save him in this timeline I don't know maybe he just fails too and then over the next 12 years, he without the help of his friend becomes more violent perhaps he begins to think his friend abandoned him and then we get the series proper again.

Yeah, agreed. Yeah, it'd take a lot of effort for it to be balanced, although I suppose that's where Roku would come in as some sort of intermediary.

Yeah, scenarios like this are interesting to think about.

Episode 47 was good. All of the scams were great. There was some good moments between the group as a whole too. Combustion man, good going Sokka.

Episode 48 was pretty twisted. Feel bad for the old lady how she turned out, can't really blame her.

Gobb · Aug 23, 2020

Episode 49 was amazing. Lost my shit a few times at the dreams and hallucinations. Especially when Appa and Momo were sword fighting.

Gobb · Aug 23, 2020

Episode 50 was good. Enjoying the group all together attacking. Poor Aang, no Fire Lord in sight.

The music from the school episode was so good. I felt like dancing along. Lol
