Cop out, just stop being selfish and kill that motherfucker
Correct solution for Aang who was determined to not sway from his principles no matter what. BUT, since it was compressed into only a handful of episodes, with NO foreshadowing (a drawing is not foreshadowing), it BECAME a cop out. Good idea, executed like shit.
who cares it was 400 years ago
I think being a god among men reduced to a muggle would be a fate much worse than dying honorably in battle.

I thought it was good.
A kid determined to stick to his practice and was rewarded with the skill needed for it.

Ouch man.
It would have been quite good if we'd gotten more buildup to it. The reason it's shitty is that we literally find out about energybending AND lion turtles within the last four episodes. It feels like a cheap asspull because it's not appropriately built up and foreshadowed.
Also, fuck Bryke for trying to cover their asses later and say lion turtles were foreshadowed. They were fucking not. A few drawings and statues here and there is not enough for something that becomes a major plot element.
It really is a shame they pulled such a huge Deus ex machina for the ending when the story had been so exceptional up to that point. I guess Bryke really did use up every last bit of creative steam making ATLA, cause they clearly had none left by the end.
