And they call us crazy for loving her with Zuko bc he gives her space to be KATARA the individual not Katara the girlfriend 😩

katara is no longer the fiery, creative, angry and stubborn girl we see from the og series. they've stripped away her 'uglier' traits - shoving her further into a motherly, placating-girlfriend-figure for Aang.

I wanted her to get mad when he kept saying she couldn’t possibly understand his like she didn’t watch her mother die and her entire tribe be nearly wiped out as a child.

Aang wants to act like none of them would understand how he feels about being the last airbender when Katara literally lived through a genocide. She is the last waterbender in her tribe.

Like who is that?! Tbh ATLA in general has an issue with writing romantic relationships, and at some point it feels like they should just stop trying lmao

ESPECIALLY that point on not representing her culture as well. Seriously, he can't at least wear something small on him but she has an entire yellow belt on?

Mira :
The whole relationship is based on her main characteristic being a caretaker. She is with him because he gives her that feeling of being needed. Aang’s whole deal is feeling responsible for the extinction of the air nomads so of course he is more focused on that rather than incorporating water tribe in his outfits as they are already established cultures. One thing you all don’t get about oldest daughters is that we are tired of constantly being the ones to make decisions and do things, many of us do want to just find a man that we can lean on. It’s not a downfall to not strive to be a badass independent woman all the time. She is grown and her priorities are the same as the man she loves give her some respect.

this discussion point is why I'm SO glad they didn't make her visibly pregnant like they originally considered. It would've made the symbolism even worse

If we had ONE scene where Aang was the emotional anchor instead of diminishing her culture and her trauma I’d be any bit invested. And yet… 🙄😭

🍋god is a girl🍋 :
saw someone bring up how Katara was also a victim of genocide and the last person who could still practice her people's bending and practices in that way in kinda the same way aang is the last Airbender, but he constantly tells her "you don't understand what it's like" and the writers agree.
Their relationship constantly mentions aangs trauma and difficulties, while not really addressing how Katara went through the same

Someone once said that katara was never meant to be as good as she was, it was Aaron ehasz and especially Elizabeth welch who made her that good in atla

Nerfing the best water bender in the world to aang’s girlfriend is such a cop out. Katara deserves better 😭

SaxAlmighty :
I was so focused on Sokka’s mischaracterization that I didn’t even really pick up on Katara’s. But you’re definitely right about how she was reduced in the movie.
