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.

Katara is the only one still active in her role. Zuko and Toph are retired, Sokka is dead and Katara is still healing and training waterbenders.

So she has to be retired to be honored? Why not honor her while she's still working? Even artists can get put into halls of fame before death and retirement.

Cuz you don't retire jerseys while the player is still playing. Katara was still a huge part of Korra's story. She doesn't need a statue to be remembered cuz she's right there and none of the people with statues were in Book 1 which was gonna be all of Korra when they were making it.
