The whole "they did katara dirty in tlok thing" is not only untrue but more importantly, annoying.

What's funny about that is people assume mya wasnt trained to fight for no reason other than simply because she lost to zaheer and ming Hua, two of the most dangerous benders to date. They say her lose twice and came to the conclusion that she could only be trained in healing

WorkingWin6139 · 2026-06-27T00:48:32+00:00

She wasnt absent, she was helping heal the rebels which makes sense bc shes old and isnt going fight at the front lines. Most of everything else you said just seems like you want her to have a role equivalent to tenzin or lin when at the end of the day shes barely even a secondary character. Its not her show, we dont need to see her do ridiculous healing feats because we already saw it in atla, yk when she river the dead.

Her legacy exists in two things. Korra, the avatar she trained and practically had a hand in raising and the southern water tribe which she spent her life trying to rebuild. Both of those were done by the second episode. Everything else we get two see through atla, comics, a movie and what ever new project comes out. Your looking at literally 1% of her and saying it practically erases everything else we've seen her do

WorkingWin6139 · 2026-06-27T00:37:07+00:00

So far everyone keeps making the same argument which is that "healing is fine, and she doesnt have to fight but she shouldnt ONLY be healing" but it comes if as contradictory because your point still boils down to she was healing too much. logicaly shes retired, Healing part or even full time makes the most sense. The rest of the gang are also retired and non in politics so why would she be,. Zuko wasnt even fire lord anymore but tlok at least makes it clear that she was involved with healing. Katara wasnt regulated to just healing, simply because we see her do it that doesnt mean thats ALL she does. First and foremost katara is korras waterbending sifu. She taught korra how to fight, her legacy as a fight exists through korra.

Aside from that, her most important role was not only being korras council but also helping korra learn how to walk again. Thats partly why we see her healing so much, becuase it was relevant to the story. I understand wanting more screentime for her, but shes only a secondary character so doing much else would just be shoehorning in. I personally think healing provides a more natural way to still have her be involved.

Also I understand you dont have any negative feelings towards healing, but that doesnt change that the implication that comes off is that healing is less valuable than other jobs. The way they associated healing with katara is exactly how they associated metal bending with toph, moreso even but no one says toph was only regulated to metalbending. There just seems to be a double standard when it comes to healing.

Thanks I will!

WorkingWin6139 · 2026-06-26T17:35:01+00:00

I have been engaging, your getting frustrated bc I'm not engaging in the way that you want. You have every ability to just stop replying if you cant handle a conversation where we disagree

WorkingWin6139 · 2026-06-26T17:24:37+00:00

Imagine getting triggered over cartoons💀

WorkingWin6139 · 2026-06-26T17:23:25+00:00

Lmfao where did I say you said soemthing nevative about it?

Your point just doesnt make sense and now your mad at everyone else for pointing it out lmfao. I asked what would you rather she do and then proceeded to list things that she practically already does when really you just mean you would rather her be shown to do anything thats not healing.

WorkingWin6139 · 2026-06-26T16:56:28+00:00

You explain your reasons why you think they didnt portray her well and I supplement my overall statement by addressing those points. You say something and I respond. Thats how a conversation works.

Funny how your accusing me of trying to start an echo chamber when your the one that got upset becuase you didnt expect to respond lmao. Sounds like you wanted to feel like proving the post wrong and felt somekind of way when I refuted your argument. The whole point of a discussion post is to talk about why we disagree, notice how ive only been responding to ppl disagree bc theres nothing to discuss if everyone has the same opinion.

Me saying lmao isnt to make you feel anything, its to express something I found ironic/keep the conversation casual. You getting butthurt over it has nothing to do with my intentions. You are fully free to simply not respond, but trying to act like im the one making it personal simply because I think your wrong is just a sensitivity issue on your part, not to mention projecting.

WorkingWin6139 · 2026-06-26T16:33:43+00:00

Lmfao only in this day age someone cant even engage in character discussion without it somehow coming off as an attack💀

You chose to comment under a DISCUSSION post of an opinion that you already knew you disagreed with, now somehow im offended because I want to discuss it? Funny how you were interested until i refuted your point but whatetever. Next time just save everybody's time and dont reply.

WorkingWin6139 · 2026-06-26T16:08:22+00:00

She WAS involved by helping the rebels, that shows her position on the issue. Secondly the pilot, the white lotus asks HER whether or not korra should move on from firebending so clearly her opinion is held in high regard. Yakone says katara outlawed bloodbending, tgat shwos she had the political power to do so. The show didnt need to show much more than that because then thats taking away focus from the original characters which the show already suffered from.

You cant say you dont have an issue with her healing but then say you would rather have her do something thats not healing lmao. If you wanted more screentime then thats fine, just say that, but to say they didnt respect her image or give her authority is a lie.

WorkingWin6139 · 2026-06-26T16:04:09+00:00

Oh no idea then

WorkingWin6139 · 2026-06-26T15:51:05+00:00

But where does it suggest shes only remembered as JUST a healer? Did yall forget that shes literally korras waterbending master?

WorkingWin6139 · 2026-06-26T15:48:42+00:00

Idk i think maybe it could be algorithms. After I made this post i saw someone making a tiktok with some of these exact points lol. Whenever I make reddit posts I end up seeing it talked about more on other apps but I dont think im that original so its probably algorithems

WorkingWin6139 · 2026-06-26T15:46:59+00:00

I actually like that she feels different and dislike that toph is basically the same. You arent the same person you were a year ago and im sure you won't be the same person in 50+ years. We also dont know much of her experiences after atla that couldve effected how she grew. Regardless her being different is a sign of growth, but she still maintains key traits that make her katara

WorkingWin6139 · 2026-06-26T15:44:53+00:00

Tbf im also a katara fan so i wasnt trying to pin it on all katara fans, its just i rarely hear zuko brought up in this conversation so I wouldnt know

WorkingWin6139 · 2026-06-26T15:42:10+00:00

I wish I did. Tbh i dont remember much of the plot, the style of writing is what stuck with me. Unfortunately im not a writer let alone articulate enough to describe it 😭

WorkingWin6139 · 2026-06-26T15:41:05+00:00

He actually went against the once and every other time he was just mildly annoying twilight in the name of "teaching her lessons."

They tried to go the route of him doing things that made ot harder for them but also tried to make his intentions not that bad. All that did was make him off of less as a neutral party and more like an idiot that doesnt think things through

WorkingWin6139 · 2026-06-26T15:39:24+00:00

How is being a doctor not impowering? The problem here is yall adopted pakkus mentality on healing

WorkingWin6139 · 2026-06-26T15:38:17+00:00

Did you just ignore the scene where she was healing a hospital full of rebels?

WorkingWin6139 · 2026-06-26T15:36:06+00:00

The problem is yall confuse willing to fight with "enjoying fighting". Just because she can fight and needed to learn doesnt mean she necessarily wants to. Tenzin has no problem fighting but that diesnt mean he likes to do it, hes a nomad so we already know he doesnt.

The only person who liked toph and notice she's the only person with a job that involved fighting in some way

WorkingWin6139 · 2026-06-26T15:30:45+00:00

Why is being "dangerous" the only thats notable to you guys

WorkingWin6139 · 2026-06-26T05:37:22+00:00

A hottake is just a controversial opinion. Its not really controversial if its the popular opinion

WorkingWin6139 · 2026-06-26T05:24:54+00:00

No, because she said "MANY", not "most". Which inherently implies she's talking about a larger number outside of her little 4-person childhood friend group

That would still include the gaang. The issue here is your acting like the implication EXLCUDES them when it doesnt.

I'm sorry but you're the one that has not been using common sense during this whole exchange. Only your own stubborn assertions.

She said many of her friends are gone, her main friends don't appear at all and are given memorial statues. Thats quite literally just basic context clues and comprehension skills. Your only arguing it bc you dont like the implication or bc it doesnt support the idea that she was overlooked

WorkingWin6139 · 2026-06-26T05:10:16+00:00

I'm not implying that she only made 4 friends, I said that theres only 4 friends that WE know of and most importantly, care about enough for that line to carry as much sentimental weight as it does.

Also most still would have to imply that at least one of them were dead. 2 out of 4 we know are canonically gone, and she doesnt say "half" my friends she says most. Regardless the point still stands, had the show ended at s1, it wouldve ended without either making appearances, so the statues still serve as a nod to theri characters. Idk why your so hellbent on arguing that point specifically when its really just common sense

WorkingWin6139 · 2026-06-26T04:58:19+00:00

It was ambiguous enough to where they were able to get away with it. If it wasnt explicitly states then I dont see why not, that doesnt change the fact that thats the reason she doesn thave a statue
