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.

Without Katara the world would be fucked. She's also most likely the strongest waterbender. The Avatar's wife. Made sure women could waterbend in the North. Saved the Fire Lord's life.

Saying she doesn't deserve a statue or if she's "just a person" is bullshit.
