IKR!!!
I hope that in the future. There would be someone in the next generation of the Air Nomads that are have gruadge against the FIre Nation.
And he or she want them to 'pay' for what did they had done to them during the Hundred Years War.
But I hope what in my idea is happen. Some of the next generation of the Airbenders go insane and want to take revenge on the FIre Nation.
It may take more than one generation for that to happen, given the rather small number of current air benders. But in 100 years or so, I could see some lunatic trying it.
It would be a great story and probably a four parter. Have Gyatso as the main character and just show how each part developed into what we know today. It would probably be censored alot considering the brutality but it would be ok because I think everyone would get the picture. Or make it like a 12 rating and have it like the order 66 scenes in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith just more eloborated.

the 2rd idea sounds cool.
The Air Nomads were the most technologically primitive and authority devoid of the four nations; as such they had little in the way of any particular social safety nets; economy with which to engage; and with no military devoid of conventional means of defense to call upon. Thus self sufficiency and survival were intrinsic aspects to Air Nomad society (admitted or otherwise)
I think it's better they didn't visualize all the gory and graphic details of genocide. We know what happens. Everyone dies. I know you want to know the "inbetween" battle and journey, but what's more important that I WISH they showed us more was Aang's struggle with knowing his people faced genocide and then overcoming/coping. It's SO much more interesting of a journey. They touched on it slightly, but there really is so much more trauma and identity issues that come with genocide. And tbh...WANTING to know what genocide looked like just romanticizes it. I'm glad the writers understood that.
