Idea One: We know that bad things happen if the world is thrown out of balance. What if those bad things began to happen sometime before Aang awoke? Ther must have been more angry spirits besides the forest spirit whose home got burned down,a nd the lack of both Airbenders and the Avatar must have had some effect on the world besides the continuing war.
Essentially, after Aang goes into his one hundred year sleep, things progress as canon, until 20 or so years own the line, wheen the imbalance begins to affect the world beyond the war. Spirits start crossing over, Koh starts to expand his face collection, and other mystical cataclysms occur.
Rather than Earth and Water vs. Fire, it would be Earth and Water vs. Fire vs. Angry spirits. Most likely both human sides would be in bad condition given what we've seen spirits are capable of. It's possible that things have gotten so bad that the Fire Nation war has essentially ended, since both sides are busy fighting the spirits.
Idea Two: Toph finds Aang instead of Katara and Sokka.
Considering Earth Rumble Six is essentially the Earth Kingdom version of Wrestling, I could see various gimmicks appearing from time to time, eventually, they have an Ice-Themed Earth Rumble, maybe to make it more exciting by having some Water Benders fight as well. One heavy rock to the iceberg centerpiece later and we have a giant bison and his airbender.
An obvious change would be learning the elements out of order, since Aang would have no particular reason to go to the North Pole quickly. This could result in the North Pole falling or worldwide devastation when Zhao kills the moon spirit, unless Yue still sacrifices herself to save it.
I'm still developing these beyond the rough idea above, but I'd liek to get some feedback on them.
Thoughts?
