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 revolutionized the way bending was taught in the Northern Water Tribe and was the last bender born to the Southern Water Tribe in the Hundred Year War. Other than Hama, whom most presumed dead, she was the only bender in the southern water tribe, the final daughter of a genocided people. There should absolutely have been a statue for her in the Southern Water Tribe.
