I saw it as less of a retcon and more of an in-universe thing; over 10,000 years the truth is bound to get lost/distorted. I mean, people think Jesus was born in winter But I agree with you to an extent. As much as I liked those episodes, it does seem like a weaker origin.

Except the Avatar is re-incarnated. So the Avatar itself didn't realize who the first host was even though memories are past to each new host? And 10,000 years worth of hosts and they didn't know about Raava or Vaatu? How does the Avatar not know about the Avatar?

[(Anonymous)]

Because the memories aren’t passed down automatically? Every new Avatar has to learn through fresh experience. They’re able to talk to the previous hosts if they want, but they have to spend the time and ask the right questions...

If the Avatar remembered that they'd never have to learn bending again in any life.

I feel like one thing that fantasy habitually gets wrong is that along with linguistic drift you'll have folklore drift among both oral and written traditions such that different cultures will have different explanations for why things are the way they are. Morrowind is one of the few franchises to deal with this by dumping a half-dozen conflicting stories and coyly asking the player to figure it out.

100% this is my favorite explanation for Tom Bombadil.

(also, there's a game setting, Glorantha, which is basically built around those ideas FYI)
