Do you like Aang? Why? Why not?

I know he's the main character and all; but i watched the desert episode and ember island players episode last night and was reminded how dumb and angsty he is. sometimes i think he's more of a comic relief than main character. Sokka would make a better avatar, and he can't even bend!

That is a MOOOD rest in peaaaace.
You have to keep in mind how young he is. He may have been alive for thousands of years, but he's still an 8 year old boy. Of course he's going to have the naivety and impulsivity of one.
I, forgive him for it, because he has a lot of determination, and 'never-give-up-iveness' and you can see that he really cares about doing his job, and about Katara, Sokka, and Appa. -
Aang's actually 12 (or 112 if we want to get technical). I think it's important to have someone Sokka can goof around with, and throughout the series they make a point of having Aang grow into a more thoughtful and serious character because of the things he sees on his journey to master all four elements. As for Sokka making a better avatar, I can't really see that. Sokka's really smart and he has good intentions, but I'm not sure I'd believe that he could handle the responsibility mentally. He gets stressed out just thinking what his father might say, let alone the whole world. Because Aang is a monk, he's more equipped to deal with mental pressures.

He isn't the greatest character in the show but I do have a fair amount of respect for him as a character. Its interesting to watch him go from being a completely immature child to a still immature, although slightly less so, young teen.
I have to say I would love to see an AU where Zuko is the avatar
