How can she be the character with the strong moral compass when she's often toxic herself? Looks like you're using new Reddit on an old browser. She often bullied people to get what she wanted. In the first gif, Jet lands on two soldiers, and runs up to other soldiers and pulls out his hooks. Ozai is straight. Throughout the entire show, Katara was always the character who would take every opportunity to make fun of other characters at their expense, especially characters like Sokka. Everything I didn't like about Katara more or less had to do with the dissonance between what the writers meant for her to be, and the character she actually was. Elsewhere, Zuko finds Appa and discovers that Aang is in the city. Some of those examples you listed is what shows that. A combination of Katara's insecurity and insufferable self rightousness was on clear display when Toph was getting acclimated to the group. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts, Ocean kumquats taste an awful lot like sea prunes if you. And when we see Jet again it's kind of sad that he can't let everything go with Zuko and Iroh no matter how hard he tries. But the other 364 days I'm nice as can be. All of those kids came from different earth kingdom villages the fire nation wiped out. Like in the episode "The Blind Bandit", her response to two silly teenagers not answering their question was to violently assualt them with water bending and interrogate them. Almost everyone on this show has been selfish and done things to hurt the others in a variety of ways. It’s easy to not like Jet though. Katara's behavior in the episode "The Painted Lady" was a good example of this. Most of the things you describe is what makes characters more realistic. Instead, they encounter Long Feng, who mortally wounds Jet. Katara: It has come to my attention that the three of you have a secret betting pool on how many times Toph will insult Aang in a given training session. All gifs are titled, “Avatar the Last Airbender”, and “Jet”. The young vigilante Jet, held a deep-seated grudge against the Fire Nation because of an attack by the Rough Rhinos, who killed his parents and burned his village to the ground. Zuko almost killed Aang. The only thing I don’t like about Katara is that she became a master wayyyyyyyyyy too quickly. Katara gets sad, depressed, angry, fearful, and upset, just like anyone else. The reason I couldn't stand these negative traits in Katara, is because she never seemed to suffer any consequences for her toxic behavior. And the show didnt want to depict her as perfect. That man was a cold-blooded killer who murdered an innocent woman without hesitation or remorse... and he would've done the same to Katara, who at the time was a little girl, if he'd known she was the last Waterbender. Spawning several comics, a sequel series, and a questionable live-action movie, the series is a staple of animated television. Just because someone shows moments of these negative features doesn't mean you can attribute said negative features to someone's core character. below it is a cluster of five off-white stars. The whole Southern Raiders and The Watertribe Scroll episodes are there to show us she isn't a perfect character and is a flawed and often selfish one. I apologize for my first post to this sub being something negative towards the show, but please hear me out. Zuko, sitting on Sokka’s lap, with his arms wrapped around his neck and face buried into his chest: Sokka, obviously. I'd say these flaws make her realistic. Whether they’re funny, creepy, sympathetic, or just plain strange, this show had a lot of people to work with. Avatar: The Last Airbender is a treasured animation with a dedicated fanbase that loved following the journey of Aang, Katara, Sokka, and the rest of Team Avatar. She wasn't going to scold herself was she? Maybe teaches us not to judge a book by its cover, but by its actions - since it seems like both Aang and Katara are overcome by their first impression of Jet and find it difficult to believe he could do wrong, even though they only just met the day before. The bottom line is, the other characters and the plot treated her like she was a near perfect and beatiful person, while in reality she spent much of the show being a total asshat. Avatar: The Last Airbender boasts a wide variety of characters. Too many cliche things going on. You really know your sister very well. [I.D: a moodboard edit of Jet from Avatar: the Last Airbender. Her harsh outburst was not what you would expect from the "moral compass" character they made her out to be. And I think that is what you are doing here. The plot bends over backwards to give Katara her moments, even when they don't feel deserving. She acted downright stupid in these episodes. However, if she was really most concerned about the villagers, she would realize that there are dozens of villages just like it that need to be saved. How mature of you. This would be fine if she wasn't so much of a toxic person at other times. Just like how I enjoyed seeing Azula's humanity, I enjoy seeing the dark side of Jet. În “Jet“, Aang, Katara și Sokka își testează prietenia printr-un lider rebel carismatic care luptă împotriva națiunii focului. The traits of the character that ended up happening: Insecure, cruel, bully, gullible, self righteous, hypocritical and egotistical. Keep it up! When she was acting kind and caring, it felt hypocritical and self rightous. As a kid I always loved that episode. I thought it was interesting. Bottom line is, just because someone shows a negative trait a few moments in their life doesn't mean you can give them that negative label. I personally liked the episode. The traits of the character they meant for her to be: Kind, caring, strong, compassionate and ethical. She was a teenager. Katara is only an early teenager, and arguably, no one is more interested in their future than those in the 14-15 year age range. I think Katara made the right choice, but I understand actual women like a bit of danger (or at least the fantasy thereof). The others didn't punish each other the only one who usually scolded them was Katara. She was just making sure she and Zuko wouldn't make the same mistakes when she threatened Zuko. In a time of war peoples' negative points can show really clearly and magnify them due to stress, grief, paranoia, etc. For example, I can be in a foul mood one day and be an ass to someone. And his sword fight scene with Zuko is epic. Katara, Jet, and Haru are Indie Artists, they can be found performing at Route 505 bar every night. He's a tragic character that struggles to escape his anger, and fails. Helping the village like that was more an exercise in vanity and a huge ego trip for Katara. I mean both, the episode and the character. The primary reason I think Katara isn't a good character is because there seams to be a stark difference between the character they meant for her to be, and the one she ended up being. By the end of the show, and even with LOK out, fans regard her as the best Waterbender ever. This episode also gives us a couple neat & quirky characters like Smellerbee and Longshot and The Duke and Pipsqueak, all of whom reappear in later episodes. So here's the new question. The stakes are raised when Zuko's charismatic little sister, Azula, arrives & stirs up chaos and violence at every turn. Here's some specific instances of when she exhibits these negative traits: The most obvious display was when she was first trying to teach Aang the water bending forms in the episode "The Water Bending Scrolls". The teenager thing was meant to come off comical but I can understand why you didn't like it. I don't even need to explain this one, just go watch the episodes "Jet" and "The Fortunteller". As for Katara's anger towards her father, she is a child of war. Also, she didn’t poison Appa. I'll never forget watching the episode "Lake Laogai" for the first time and being dumfounded from Katara's random, unpromted disrespect for the janitor sweeping up the hair. Not really a flaw in writing but a flaw in the character - actually something I think makes the character feel more realistic and better as a whole. Check out Jet-x-Katara's art on DeviantArt. That guy killed her Mother - Most people wouldn't hold back. Yes, I believe that he died. But Katara has the strength and the will to keep going, even in extremely hopeless situations. Just a little FYI. Does this mean someone can attribute cruelty as part of my core character? I love that episode actually. Katara naturally is very curious to know her future, particularly who she is going to marry. What's unacceptable is you didn't ask if I wanted in and I … I don’t think that making her such a powerful bender was necessary then, since it would’ve been fine to constantly see her grow stronger throughout the rest of the show (although, I guess she kinda does). From that day on, he would despise the Fire Nation and he dedicated his life to stopping them in any way he could, even at the cost of innocent lives.Over the years, Jet formed a ragtag group of young Earth Kingdom refugees who had been displaced by the Fire Nation and called them the Freedom Fighters. Ursa gives off bi energy, and Iroh doesnt label himself. The subreddit for fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra, the comics, the upcoming Netflix live action ATLA series, novels, games, and all other Avatar content. Simply human nature. was not disappointed. But then it grows on you because it introduces us to the reality how the fire nation is leaving people stranded with no homes to go to. The world building of the episode was the best part. However, with encouragement from his uncle, Zuko decides to free the sky bison and give up hi… Yeah, people who kindly express their opinion about a fictional character are stupid now because it's not the same as yours. 909k Fans Book One: Water is the first season of Avatar: The Last Airbender, an American animated television series produced by Nickelodeon Studios.Created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, the first season premiered on Nickelodeon on February 21, 2005. Why does anyone like her?! Clearly not, you just pointed out her flaws. Aang is a great character, but he's somewhat lacking in the sex appeal. I actually thought is was pretty interesting to see a tortfeasor who is not from the Fire Nation. Its just those around her (especially Aang that see her as perfect) we the viewers know otherwise. As they do so, the gang meets Jet again. I think the episode is great, even though Jet has taken his revenge too far. It is a time of big change (ginormous in Katara’s life, with the war going on) and the start to finding out who you are. First he tries to murder a town of people, and later accuses Zuko and Iroh of being firebenders without having any proof. Like in the episode "Jet", they make Aang hilariously underpowered briefly so he can't defeat Jet, just so Katara can defeat him. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast, More posts from the TheLastAirbender community. I haven’t really thought about it that often, but we really don’t see her train that much before basically being called a master. They travel to Lake Laogai in the hopes of finding Appa. He looked at her through rose colored glasses the moment she broke him out of the iceberg, framing her in light and a romantic breeze.
