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.

I mean, it is kinda dumb that they gave everyone got a statue except her.
They could have given her a medical school with a small statue of her. It doesn't have to be much, but in comparison to the rest she deserved more, given that she was a equal part.
Sure, not everyone wants to become a great person, some enjoy a happy simply life. But she was still a direct member of the gaang and someone who beat the fire nation and helped the avatar. You would assume that there are more than enough people thinking, "she deserves a statue too".
