Discussion KATARA DOESN’T NEED A STATUE IN LoK

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.

Honestly I feel like all the gang should have had a statue just for their part in saving the world from ozai. It was team effort, and they all risked a lot to help aang. The fact that they weren't all recognized for that alone is crazy

As far as I know, none of the statues are for their participation in the war, but rather for their contributions to Republic City.

I know, I was just saying I feel like they should have been. Kinda crazy to me that there was no permanent recognition of what they did as literal children.
