The vivification vogue and reference designs are pretty similar between the stuffy pilot light and the literal show , but it ’s clear some changes were made before it debuted on Nickelodeon . Most of the spokesperson cast is the same — with the exception of its star , Aang , who was in the beginning voiced by Mitchel Musso ( Hannah Montana ) but got replaced by Zach Tyler Eisen . In add-on , Katara ’s character was less positive , come across as more dependent on Aang than she demand to be . She was also called Kya at first but the name was changed to Katara , possibly because of issues connected to the 2003 picture secret plan Kya : Dark Lineage .

The stuffy buffer also skips all the result of the first episode where Katara and Sokka discover Aang , rather putting them in the middle of their dangerous undertaking on the run fromDante Basco’sZuko ( though it ’s never explained what they ’re actually doing ) . Some creatures and storyline from later episode make an visual aspect , including Momo and the serpent from the season two sequence , “ The Serpent ’s Pass . ” That ’s where Zuko come in .

During a chase across a vast sea , Aang and the others manage to escape the attacking serpent but Zuko and his ship end up face - to - face with the wight . We see Zuko prepare to strike , and the next thing you know this happens .

What the hell, dude?

You ’re not imagining thing : That ’s the decapitated head of the serpent being carried into the Fire Nation ’s inner circle , lingua flapping , marked with burn marks from Zuko ’s fatal attack . Sure , bender can do a hell of a mickle of shit and it ’s safe to assume there ’s verifying damage , but it ’s all handled offscreen . Not even Jet ’s presumed death was usher because this is a show for Thomas Kyd . I ’m guessing mental test audiences took one look at that wave knife and allege , “ no thank you , ” and the show was altered to make any deaths resultant instead of powerful there in front of your beheaded face . Zuko , how could you ?
