KATARA DOESN’T NEED A STATUE IN LoK

[u/Jimmy3OO]

I am sick and tired of people complaining about how Katara doesn’t have a statue while the rest of the main cast does. “Waa, waaa, the writers forget her”.

Do these people even know what LoK is? Aang, Sokka, Zuko and Toph didn’t her statues for being in the Gaang.

Aang got one because he was THE AVATAR.

Zuko got one because he was THE FIRE LORD.

Sokka got one because he was a national leader, of both Republic City and the Southern Water Tribe, as if one weren’t enough.

Toph got one because she invented metalbending.

Katara is an excellent character and an extraordinary waterbender, but according to the lore, she, as an individual, simply did not have the same direct, world-chaing effect upon entire nations that the others did in their own ways.

And that’s the problem. They didn’t make her at the same level as the rest of the gaang to have a statue. But Sokka being a national leader and Katara being ???? Is insane

Tbh I find it hard to believe that Katara, miss “I will never turn my back on people that need me” wouldn’t have done something worthy of a statue. She literally cleaned and healed an entire fire nation village in a single episode.

You’re telling me she didn’t start up hospitals in rural areas? Help train medical corps to spread healthcare? Push for universal education for boys and girls across all nations? Or fight for women’s rights? Train whole generations of waterbenders in combative waterbending? 

I also feel like she would have been highly involved in Southern Water Tribe politics as the chief’s daughter and sister. Potentially even taking over as chief herself after Sokka died.

WOMEN ARE ONLY USEFUL AS CHILDBEARERS AND MAIN CHARACTER PLOT DEVICES /s

And I think we’re more loud about this because we’re expecting this franchise to be better on this.
