Maybe. One of the greatest , if not the greatest. Considering how wide the Avatar universe is , plus all the other Avatar waterbenders. Edit: She did become the greatest Waterbender of her time, surpassing even Aang, it says so on her Avatar page.
Remember: she went from novice to master in the span of a year! One year! And with one year of training she was able to defeat a firebending progidy, enhanced by Sozin's comet, who had training from the best masters her entire life! If that isn't an accomplishment I don't know what is.
@Jang-geum Seo She defeated Azula twice one on one. You could claim that Azula was a little tired after fighting Zuko in the Agni Kai but in Ba Sing Se Katara wiped the floor with her.
It's more bad writing than a accomplishment. It's unrealistic for her to be master level in under a year while other characters trained there whole lives.
@@TheKenganKing People do amazing things in war. It's not bad writing that rolling around with the most powerful bender in the world fighting other extremely power benders that Katara gained the skills necessary to survive. I also believe the theory that Aang getting trapped in ice messed up the avatar cycle and if he had lived his life how he should have, Katara would have been the next avatar.
@@racxius3756 Rolling around with great benders would make her better however i'm sure all the other masters had their share of fights aswell. On top of that the war has been going on for 100 years. If war made her better why not all the other benders? They wanted to show progression of her character but when they only gave one year to be a master they wrote themselves into a corner. People do great things under pressure all the time but in any martial art it takes decades to be a master. All the other masters trained for decades so katara reaching their level in a year is bad writing.
Katara’s waterbending skills growth from episode 1 to The Southern Raiders is honestly one of the most amazing development of a character’s ability I’ve seen in a while in a TV show.
I think that it said in the show that Ozai was stronger power wise then Iroh. Iroh just was smarter, much more of a strategist. Learning from enemy’s and find they’re weak spots. Then attacking. There were much stronger firebenders even in the white lotus.
Abearlsu Iroh knew the true power of firebending, as it is mentioned that he learned from the original masters; he learned that firebending doesn’t come from rage, but from passion and through precision.
Including TLOK, I think Zaheer is a better Airbender, Gazaan or maybe Bolin are better earthbenders, Amon is a better water bender, and Ozai is a better fire bender. (Never actually watched the show, I just saw quite a lot of clips, and the only firebender I know from TLOK is Mako)
Yes, Katara is the greatest waterbender of all time. When she made the rain stop mid air, it is still far more impressive to me and got the greatest reaction out of me than any bloodbending ever. Idc about any of the characters in LoK Katara was not only developed the best, but also controlled her element the best.
I was just expecting a montage of Katara, not a full-blown analysis of her development as a water bender. This video was really interesting and informative, definitely glad I subscribed!
They are all growing kids/teenagers. They are supposed to grow quite a lot even in a span of a year and I'm glad the animators incorporated that detail
I literally bursted out laughing when she said her brother was "sexist". never in my life i thought i wouldve heard someone in a kids show would say that. espescailly in the first episode
My favorite moment is when she tells everyone how she doesn’t act motherly and then when she asks aang she yells at him in a motherly tone and then he says “yes ma’am!”
azula's mentally not stable to outwit a fight. she's just bursting through sheer will and anger. If she's in her prime, being the cunning and powerful fighter we know that she is, im very much sure the outcome would have come out differently. not to mention that she has just fought with zuko earlier.
corn dog barely. Y’all overhype Azula and then downplay everyone elses skill as if Azula is this all powerful being. Katara and Toph both could defeat her.
Mad respect. She beat her with her wits. So it shows that even when she is less powerful than her enemy and facing disadvantages she can still win because shes not just powerful but also resourceful
@@babe6835 i very much agree. But i cant fully give katara all the credits in the last agni kai. @Ilexis Jimenez did she though? It's a 2v2 fight and yes, katara trapped azula in a moment but im sure shell be fine without zuko's intervention. i guess well never know
Healing and bloodbending are connected in an interesting way: both involve manipulating the water that makes up the human body. The difference is in intentions and force.
She went from being a novice to likely the most powerful water bender alive. All in the span of a single year. If she’s not the best water bender in history, then I’d say she’s at least one of the top five.
Not counting Avatars, I would say she is likely the strongest Waterbender alive in the series that we know of so far, as well as one of the greatest benders in general in the series.
@@jeromemonteiro8062 Not really, if a waterbender is skilled enough they can develop an immunity to bloodbending as shown in the battle between Hama and Katara. Katara in her prime is without doubt the strongest waterbender.
Unfortunately, this strong fanbase makes it hard for people to move on. The Dragon Prince is a great show made by one of the creators of ATLA, yet people still don't watch it because they are still so attached to ATLA.
Mahati Kapuganti first of all, I said only water benders,Not avatars. At the end of the series she is by far stronger then any of the ppl you listed, and not to mention we only saw her as a teen and an elder. Imagine her in her prime, she would 100% be the strongest waterbender.
Although bloodbending isn’t really the greatest example of a powerful bender. Maybe a ruthless one, but a true powerful bender knows when to stop before they lose themself. Katara never wanted to use bloodbending.
She did on the first try too,and also resisted hamma when she used it against her. I think she could have learnt how to bloodbend without the full moon.
*Aang:* _Learns basic water moves immediately_ *Katara:* "Wow, you picked that up really fast. It took me months to learn that move." *Hama:* "Bloodbending. It took me years to develop the technique." *Katara:* _Learns Bloodbending instantly_
i think its because hama taught herself and only had one opportunity every month or so and katara had the full moon, a teacher, the ability to bend invisible water, and her friends depended on her.
@@Kikkerv11 that's why hama sat in prison for a long time before being able to bloodbend right? That's why in the invasion of the northern watertribe, not a single waterbender was bloodbending right? Bloodbending is a feat just like any other sub-bending class.
She is kinda forced tho They are in the middle of a century war and she is the only known waterbender in the entire southern hemisphere that can teach the avatar She NEEDS to be a strong woman
Guilherme Fernandes Dias Canalli I think the OG comment means the writing doesn’t stink of Katara being a contrived Mary Sue or pc “Strong Female Character”, she’s just a real person with strength and other admirable characteristics
Guilherme Fernandes Dias Canalli Thats not the same as slicing a rock in two and becoming a master katara actually struggled its almost as if she had character growth hmmm.
I'm just gonna say that even if azula wasn't in her right frame of mind she was still very powerful and KNEW WHAT SHE WAS DOING, but katara still beat her
Nah. Yes indeed Katara might still win. But y'all don't think. Why is azula.such a problem...... it's not her bending....it's her mind. Her pure strategies , tactics and tricks......which is why even Zuko was able to have the upper hand against her.
@@clonnlijinhlong2713 The thing is Katara’s emotional control gives her an edge over Azula regardless. Yes, Azula’s way more strategic than Katara. But Katara’s way more resourceful, in control of her emotions, and thinks faster on her feet than Azula.
@@jungsoojung4730 I would describe Katara as in tune with her emotions, not in control of them. Azula has been training in combat her entire life, Katara didn't learn water bending just to fight. I do think Katara is a better bender, but Azula's mind for combat and precision bending makes it a tough ask on comet day. She did kinda beat her at her best in Ba Sing Sei though.
Yup, not to mention she played a *huge* part in Sozin’s comet. Honestly the whole gaang saved the world, with one person missing from the gaang during Sozin’s comet who knew how it could go.
Noah J no monk gyatso said himself that he would protect aang that’s what he said before he went to find aang not knowing he left. And when aang left that was before the air nomads were gonna take him to learn waterbending.
Its because instead of making her immeaditly physically strong, they made her emotional and personal growth strong first. Strong female character shouldn't = can hit hard, they also need to be written well and given personalities
"She lied to you. She was protecting the last Waterbender" "What? Who?" "ME!" The Southern Raiders was one of my favourite episodes, it being the final part of Katara's (non Ang related) story arc. When she held the rain, I held my breath.
Other great bits from that episode are how Zuko looks at Katara, both when she bloodbends and later stops the rain. Both times it's amazement and surprise at her power, and maybe a little fear mixed in too at witnessing her bloodbend.
I would love to see Zuko's progression in firebending , because they don't really mention it , but he evolves so much , to the point of doing massive fireballs when taking on Aang and Katara, plus his techinque get's really refined , to the point of even tought he might have less fire power then Azula ( Im not really sure ) he takes a clear advantage at their fight , is such shame they nerfed him Heavelly in Korra.
Katara was like the mother of Team Avatar, restoring peace between the members when tension rose and guiding them. She is one of my top favourite characters of atla.
The desert was her moment when she lead the dysfunctional group when Aang still angry because he lost Appa, Toph unable to use her bender and Sokka turn into flying brother.
My favourite Katara moment is in the Desert episode, when everyone else is either hopeless, tripping, or exhausted, her will was literally the only thing that got them out of that situation. That moment showed me just how strong she was and later when she pulls Ang down from the air in his Avatar state with just the most defeated look on her face but with no fear... Man I love Katara she really is a boss.
Neither Aang nor Katara are reduced to being each other's love interest. The love story was just something that bubbled up among everything else. The show would be just as powerful without it.
@Don don Barroga I never thought of Sakura as, “weak”. I actually thought she was pretty smart. Though, it was her obsession with Sasuke and her annoying attitude that made me dislike her
@@destructicon844 Sokka is strong. That's the point of Sokka's Master episode. He has practical tactical skills. Bc he can't rely on "magic water", he isn't quick to overlook practical angles of looking at things. But I do understand your point.
I absolutely ADORE Katara's fire nation disguise!! I don't know why, but I always go back to those episodes just for it. She was designed sooo well!! (I really wish she had it on for longer, but her water tribe outfit wasn't too bad.... - Gotta love the hair tho)
katara's arc was always my fave. i loved that she started out hopeful and confident in her abilities and even though she struggled, became one of the most powerful benders in the world!! i couldn't have been more proud of her when she took down azula in the end UGH I LOVE HER
That may be the most under appreciated scene in their relationship. Sure, Crossroads was interesting, but Zuko realizing that she could be just as cruel as Azula shows how much he respects her for her strength and reservation.
@@MasterRoshi69 writers should seriously study Avatar on college; not only the show have stroong characters, worldbuilding and magic system, but also great plot progression, characters development and is capable to handle complex moral issues related to war to their children audience without a problem. The show mastered beautifully issues that we still see on big blockbusters to this day.
She almost killed a master 😂. She's probably the strongest water in the series even against yakone's family in her prime. She may not be able to duel them with bloodbending but we can know she can nullify the effects. Her combat style is unlike any other water bender. She's fast like fire bender, immovable like earth, but is filled with compassion like air.
I think she could win them easily bc it's clearly stated that blood bending works only on people that have a weaker bending than the user (katara's being immune against hama's blood bending, Amon immune against Tarloq's, Aang entering the avatar state to become stronger than Yakone's) so yeah she could win against them.
The video was posted 4 days ago and already has 1,1 million views. - I'm glad that the Avatar community still remains alive. **tear bending** Greetings from Brazil, love this show
Katara as always and still is my favorite character. Even in "Legends of Korra"' She was a very powerful and skilled bender. She was never to weak or whiny. She was emotional and honest. She looked after her brother despite being younger, and wouldn't stand for sexism. Which I found it funny when she flat out called Sokka sexist. You wouldn't ever hear that in a kids show. "Avatar the last air bender", was and is different from all the other kids shows. Going to lengths that you didn't see in a lot of shows targeted for children. However, I think that's the charm of ATLA. Katara and her bending came a long way between season one of ATLA, to the first season of LOK.
yes my favorite character too! generous, brave, trustworthy. "i will never ever turn my back on people who need me" is my fav quote of the series and it's from her.
I like how Kataras skills grew over the course of book one. She really seemed to get better from episode to episode and was gradually more and more included in fighting. And she managed that without having a teacher, just from practicing and learning together with Aang. It's really inspiring
It could be because they grew more confident in the series. Nor the voice actors but the characters. A child can grow slowly but when under preasure, they can grow fast mentaly.
I'm currently re-watching the series and I think Katara's progression as a waterbender is honestly more impressive than aang's journey to master the elements. Since aang had mastered the elements thousands of times in past lives, he was able to pick up each one relatively easily (not that it was easy). But that the seires takes place over the course of maybe 8 months just makes Katara's progression that much more impressive for me.
Ya'll lying if you say you DIDN'T have a crush on Katara when you were younger. But all jokes aside I'm glad I got to watch this as a kid such an amazing show! :)
I think the only other bender that has similar progress like Katara, is Zuko. As much as I prefer Azula or Toph more as bending combatants, I think I'd like to see Zuko being breakdown like Katara.
I'm pretty sure it's not ice cuz all the ice in the show up until that point is like full solid and white but with azula it's like slightly transparent and has little air bubbles in it. But I do agree with you on the zuko similarity
@@Deliverance253 That was all snow my dude. The northern water tribe is 90% snow, what was shown there was ice, but they put emphasis on it so they could see the characters inside said ice.
We can see that all team Avatar like to use another Bender style (except toph coz she cant see it) Like the Agni kai between zuko and azula , how zuko use airbender earthbender and ultimately waterbender( lightning direction) style And katara using earthbender stand against hama
I like to believe the character growth/development went like this: Aang changed his discipline Katara changed her skill Sokka changed his viewpoint Zuko changed his alignment Toph changed her openness Of course, there's more to it then that, but that's the gest of it. Aang changed from being without a care in the world to being fully responsible and taking action. Katara changed from lacking in her skill being able to manipulate some fish in bubbles to controlling the very rain around her. Sokka changed his viewpoint on the Fire Nation citizens and women with his insecurities to now being fully confident in himself and other's. Zuko changed from seeking the Avatar for honour and betraying his own Uncle who cared more for him than his father, to finding the true meaning of firebending as life and helping the Avatar bring an end to his own father's reign. Toph was closed off from other's at first, but then when she opened up to the rest, she in a way discovered a way to bend what was thought to be impossible, metal.
When it's put into these terms, each character had to learn their opposing nature. When Aang learns earth bending, we discover each element has it's natural opposite (in this case, air and earth). Each character grew because they learned the most difficult lessons for their element's "opposite". Air benders value freedom and spontaneity. Aang struggled the most with duty and feeling bound to a destiny. For Zuko, fire benders are known for their passion and sometimes anger. He not only had to face that his values (i.e. passion) were wrong, but he was able to recognize they were wrong and adjust his path in a rational way. The same parallels can be said about the other characters. Maybe the greatest thing the avatar taught us is that we need to find balance in ourselves and embrace the things that are most difficult for us. Idk, just a thought. 😉
Also can we Suki’s mastery progression as a character and warrior, because we all miss her since she is the only member of the original Team Avatar to be taken for granted these days? (Edited two times).
I loved this show growing up. Being the only daughter out of 4 brothers in my family, I could always relate to katara wanting to prove everyone wrong that she is powerful- despite the fact that she was viewed as a docile female.
I think she counts as a prodigy, even if some people aren't willing to admit it. Sure, her skills at the first episodes weren't anything special, but that's only because she had to learn them herself. But when she finally got a reference (the waterbending scroll), she was able to learn well and we saw the rapid improvement in her skills (e.g. being unable to create a wave in "The Waterbending Scroll" and then easily doing that in "Bato of the Water Tribe"). Once she got a master, I assume it only took her a few days to be in the level she was in at Book 1's season finale. And she only got better from there. She even learned bloodbending just a few minutes after the concept was introduced to her. If she really wanted to stay on that bloodbending path, she probably could've bypassed the full moon restriction earlier than Amon's family.
Katara is interesting because she's a prodigy at learning. Unlike Toph, Azula, Iroh, and Hama she never creates a new technique, but she learns them extremely fast and can take skills beyond the level her teachers did. This explains why in a year she came so far when her entire life pre-Aang only allowed her basic control, and why she literally leaps to Zuko level after meeting Paaku.
I can't believe it has been so many years Avatar. I grew up watching this series. Katara is the best water bender ever and personally blue colour suits her.
It’s one of those “unlocking your lost childhood memories” shows for me. I never followed it when it released but I remember watching it every now and then a few times scrolling through channels
Wow, I...actually wasn't expecting this. I was just expecting a montage of things the character did like most channels do, but you gave us an analysis of both character and water bending development. You even talked about how Katara affected others.
System3rror In this world they are counterparts, so they are technically equal, i mean fire extinguish water and vice versa. Furthermore, if we count water as superior, Azula's flame, because of its colour, is hotter than regular flames, so she should easily evaporate Katara's water. Katara, in my opinion, has more difficulties in their battles.
@@SignIn-bt6pe This isn't Pokemon lol, if so electricity > water. All bending techniques are equal (maybe except bloodbending, it's definitely overpowered compared to the rest)
Still can't get over how Katara managed to beat a firebending prodigy during Sozin's comet. No full moon, no bloodbending, just raw waterbending at a disadvantage yet still coming out on top.
@@Ronin.Samurai yeah totally, or katara could use her octopus stance or water arms to shove azula in the ground, bro get over it, katara and toph dominate over azula
I love how the show didn't make Katara a trademark 'strong independent woman of color', instead, making her dependent on her friends, embraces her femininity and her being Inuit has nothing to do with anything
Accept the butterfly accent would mean everyone in Team Avatar besides Aang wouldn't exist. Especially the drastic change in the Fire Nation not conquering the world, Southern Waterbenders not being wiped out, and air benders not being genocided
I don't think so, the Avatar can't be just anyone, they are the reincarnations of the first Avatar, Wan. Even in Last Airbender they made it clear the Avatar was someone who reincarnated, they just elaborated on that in LoK.
I respect hama for being able to learn bloodbending in prison and escape. But not when she bloodbend innocent people just because they are citizens of the fire nation
@@mai4717 To be fair and being honest a lot of fire nation citizens were involved in or supported the war. So, the term innocent people is dependent on how you view the situation.
That's why I thought she was a great character tbh. Even though she's a pretty bad person, her motivations make total sense and viewers get why she is the way she is.
Kataras one of the best characters in the whole Avatar universe and my favourite. She became a master so quickly because she learned all she could with great ambition , skill and determination. Since she couldn't get a teacher or even see any other benders in her tribe before Aang.
Is Katara the greatest waterbender of all time?
no shes not xd
@@Kayra5138 who is?

Maybe. One of the greatest , if not the greatest. Considering how wide the Avatar universe is , plus all the other Avatar waterbenders.

If Katara didn't get angry, the series wouldn't have started
R Q it’s called the butterfly effect
the power of the cain instinct
Katara is the best water bender, The Legends Of Korra shouldn't be considered canon. The series ended when Aang got married.
@@LawSupremacy the series ended in the cómics, but not everyone is happy with Zuko's story after that...

She went from being a novice to likely the most powerful water bender alive. All in the span of a single year. If she’s not the best water bender in history, then I’d say she’s at least one of the top five.
Not counting Avatars, I would say she is likely the strongest Waterbender alive in the series that we know of so far, as well as one of the greatest benders in general in the series.
@@galecaie928 the only water bender who can be stronger than her are water bending avatars or bloodbending clan from korra
@@jeromemonteiro8062 Not really, if a waterbender is skilled enough they can develop an immunity to bloodbending as shown in the battle between Hama and Katara. Katara in her prime is without doubt the strongest waterbender.

@@nightowlanimate7813 yeah
NightOwl Animate SOZ FOR DOING SO
She better than the MC
Can't believe that in the first book she couldn't even make a wave, and now she learned BLOODBLENDING.
Although bloodbending isn’t really the greatest example of a powerful bender. Maybe a ruthless one, but a true powerful bender knows when to stop before they lose themself. Katara never wanted to use bloodbending.
Also first try
Blaze The Wolf wow that’s actually a great analysis👏🏾
She did on the first try too,and also resisted hamma when she used it against her. I think she could have learnt how to bloodbend without the full moon.
no not today agree, she definitely could've learnt that if she tried. Probably that whole "bending without hands" thing, too.
*Aang:* _Learns basic water moves immediately_
*Katara:* "Wow, you picked that up really fast. It took me months to learn that move."
*Hama:* "Bloodbending. It took me years to develop the technique."
*Katara:* _Learns Bloodbending instantly_
I don't think bloodbending is hard per se if you can already bend water you can't see. It's just ethically hard, if that makes any sense.
Lol 😆
i think its because hama taught herself and only had one opportunity every month or so and katara had the full moon, a teacher, the ability to bend invisible water, and her friends depended on her.
@@Kikkerv11 that's why hama sat in prison for a long time before being able to bloodbend right? That's why in the invasion of the northern watertribe, not a single waterbender was bloodbending right? Bloodbending is a feat just like any other sub-bending class.
Katara's has no one to teach her water bender. Besides, air bending is similar to water bending.

And katara didint even blood bended her
Nah. Yes indeed Katara might still win. But y'all don't think.

@@clonnlijinhlong2713 The thing is Katara’s emotional control gives her an edge over Azula regardless. Yes, Azula’s way more strategic than Katara. But Katara’s way more resourceful, in control of her emotions, and thinks faster on her feet than Azula.
@@jungsoojung4730 I would describe Katara as in tune with her emotions, not in control of them. Azula has been training in combat her entire life, Katara didn't learn water bending just to fight. I do think Katara is a better bender, but Azula's mind for combat and precision bending makes it a tough ask on comet day. She did kinda beat her at her best in Ba Sing Sei though.
Lowkey, Katara saved the world. Since she's the one who set Aang free.
Yup, not to mention she played a *huge* part in Sozin’s comet. Honestly the whole gaang saved the world, with one person missing from the gaang during Sozin’s comet who knew how it could go.
Actually, Sokka making her mad in the very first episode eventually led them to stop the 100 year war
Actually it was technically the Air Nomads. They told Aang to leave, which got him into the storm. Then Aang was forced to put himself in the iceberg
Noah J no monk gyatso said himself that he would protect aang that’s what he said before he went to find aang not knowing he left. And when aang left that was before the air nomads were gonna take him to learn waterbending.
She also revived him after Azula shot him with lightning
Take note Disney this is how you write a strong female character
Disney hear hear

True, true
Its because instead of making her immeaditly physically strong, they made her emotional and personal growth strong first. Strong female character shouldn't = can hit hard, they also need to be written well and given personalities

Yup
"She lied to you. She was protecting the last Waterbender"
"What? Who?"
"ME!"
The Southern Raiders was one of my favourite episodes, it being the final part of Katara's (non Ang related) story arc. When she held the rain, I held my breath.
Now To Rewatch that Episode
Other great bits from that episode are how Zuko looks at Katara, both when she bloodbends and later stops the rain. Both times it's amazement and surprise at her power, and maybe a little fear mixed in too at witnessing her bloodbend.
the_rabidsquirel definitely fear🤣
literally same
And then she stops the rain!
I would love to see Zuko's progression in firebending , because they don't really mention it , but he evolves so much , to the point of doing massive fireballs when taking on Aang and Katara, plus his techinque get's really refined , to the point of even tought he might have less fire power then Azula ( Im not really sure ) he takes a clear advantage at their fight , is such shame they nerfed him Heavelly in Korra.
he didn't get nerfed he just old!
He also starts to draw from all the different styles of bending. Just like Iroh was trying to teach him.
I like suko i wish he could be my boyfriend 😎😎😎😎
@@bibbobella He could redirect lightning even though he never actually learnt to bend it
He never became a firebending master though like katara did with water. Azula was a master.
Katara was like the mother of Team Avatar, restoring peace between the members when tension rose and guiding them. She is one of my top favourite characters of atla.

My favourite Katara moment is in the Desert episode, when everyone else is either hopeless, tripping, or exhausted, her will was literally the only thing that got them out of that situation. That moment showed me just how strong she was and later when she pulls Ang down from the air in his Avatar state with just the most defeated look on her face but with no fear...

Neither Aang nor Katara are reduced to being each other's love interest. The love story was just something that bubbled up among everything else. The show would be just as powerful without it.

She's fast like fire bender, immovable like earth, but is filled with compassion like air.
This is so true
I think she could win them easily bc it's clearly stated that blood bending works only on people that have a weaker bending than the user (katara's being immune against hama's blood bending, Amon immune against Tarloq's, Aang entering the avatar state to become stronger than Yakone's) so yeah she could win against them.

Katara as always and still is my favorite character. Even in "Legends of Korra"' She was a very powerful and skilled bender. She was never to weak or whiny. She was emotional and honest. She looked after her brother despite being younger, and wouldn't stand for sexism. Which I found it funny when she flat out called Sokka sexist. You wouldn't ever hear that in a kids show. "Avatar the last air bender", was and is different from all the other kids shows. Going to lengths that you didn't see in a lot of shows targeted for children. However, I think that's the charm of ATLA. Katara and her bending came a long way between season one of ATLA, to the first season of LOK.
Ikr!!
To the first season of LOK? Well of course lol shes like ages years old, that's her whole life!
She is my favourite character too you now
yes my favorite character too! generous, brave, trustworthy. "i will never ever turn my back on people who need me" is my fav quote of the series and it's from her.
She's mine too. I watched Avatar when I was 14 so I related to her a lot, especially her temper.
I like how Kataras skills grew over the course of book one. She really seemed to get better from episode to episode and was gradually more and more included in fighting. And she managed that without having a teacher, just from practicing and learning together with Aang. It's really inspiring
Anyone else realized that as the series went on ALL the characters voices got a LOT less squeaky?
Probably because they grew into the roles over time and got better/directional changes
Especially Aang's
It could be because they grew more confident in the series. Nor the voice actors but the characters. A child can grow slowly but when under preasure, they can grow fast mentaly.
In aang's case I think it's because his va got older, he was still a kid back then
How could we not notice?

@@iamangel8808 lol no, i just dont know what "female role model" means
I'm currently re-watching the series and I think Katara's progression as a waterbender is honestly more impressive than aang's journey to master the elements. Since aang had mastered the elements thousands of times in past lives, he was able to pick up each one relatively easily (not that it was easy). But that the seires takes place over the course of maybe 8 months just makes Katara's progression that much more impressive for me.
hahahhahahahahahah he didnt get much help from any other avatar other than some help from roku but not related to mastering the elements

Aang changed his discipline
Katara changed her skill
Sokka changed his viewpoint
Zuko changed his alignment
Toph changed her openness
Of course, there's more to it then that, but that's the gest of it.
Aang changed from being without a care in the world to being fully responsible and taking action.
Katara changed from lacking in her skill being able to manipulate some fish in bubbles to controlling the very rain around her.
Sokka changed his viewpoint on the Fire Nation citizens and women with his insecurities to now being fully confident in himself and other's.
Zuko changed from seeking the Avatar for honour and betraying his own Uncle who cared more for him than his father, to finding the true meaning of firebending as life and helping the Avatar bring an end to his own father's reign.
Toph was closed off from other's at first, but then when she opened up to the rest, she in a way discovered a way to bend what was thought to be impossible, metal.

This deserves 1000 likes easy
Also, Aang got the love of his life. Kataang is probably one of my favorite developments over the show.
When it's put into these terms, each character had to learn their opposing nature. When Aang learns earth bending, we discover each element has it's natural opposite (in this case, air and earth). Each character grew because they learned the most difficult lessons for their element's "opposite". Air benders value freedom and spontaneity. Aang struggled the most with duty and feeling bound to a destiny. For Zuko, fire benders are known for their passion and sometimes anger. He not only had to face that his values (i.e. passion) were wrong, but he was able to recognize they were wrong and adjust his path in a rational way. The same parallels can be said about the other characters. Maybe the greatest thing the avatar taught us is that we need to find balance in ourselves and embrace the things that are most difficult for us.
Idk, just a thought. 😉

While I don’t need to prove anything, I too am the only daughter of 4 brothers
I think Katara is the best waterbender in history
I think she counts as a prodigy, even if some people aren't willing to admit it. Sure, her skills at the first episodes weren't anything special, but that's only because she had to learn them herself. But when she finally got a reference (the waterbending scroll), she was able to learn well and we saw the rapid improvement in her skills (e.g. being unable to create a wave in "The Waterbending Scroll" and then easily doing that in "Bato of the Water Tribe"). Once she got a master, I assume it only took her a few days to be in the level she was in at Book 1's season finale. And she only got better from there. She even learned bloodbending just a few minutes after the concept was introduced to her. If she really wanted to stay on that bloodbending path, she probably could've bypassed the full moon restriction earlier than Amon's family.
Katara is interesting because she's a prodigy at learning. Unlike Toph, Azula, Iroh, and Hama she never creates a new technique, but she learns them extremely fast and can take skills beyond the level her teachers did. This explains why in a year she came so far when her entire life pre-Aang only allowed her basic control, and why she literally leaps to Zuko level after meeting Paaku.

Tbh Zuko and Azula are kinda nerfed also cause water>fire
System3rror In this world they are counterparts, so they are technically equal, i mean fire extinguish water and vice versa. Furthermore, if we count water as superior, Azula's flame, because of its colour, is hotter than regular flames, so she should easily evaporate Katara's water. Katara, in my opinion, has more difficulties in their battles.

Still can't get over how Katara managed to beat a firebending prodigy during Sozin's comet. No full moon, no bloodbending, just raw waterbending at a disadvantage yet still coming out on top.
It’s called plot
She was deranged and insane
And don’t forget that prodigy was unraveling, becoming very unstable and insane due to manipulation and internal emotions
Oh please. If Azula was at her prime, and stable minded, she would have destroyed Katara
@@Ronin.Samurai yeah totally, or katara could use her octopus stance or water arms to shove azula in the ground, bro get over it, katara and toph dominate over azula
0:20 Low-key I loved that transition 🤣🤣
"I'm just a man with a boomerang" sokka's dialog the best one :D
In my opinion it is “drink cactus juice, it’ll quench ya! It’s the quenchiest!”
*NOPE*
I love how the show didn't make Katara a trademark 'strong independent woman of color', instead, making her dependent on her friends, embraces her femininity and her being Inuit has nothing to do with anything
shes strong AND embraces femininity??? i dont see why she cant do both. im getting a touch of sexism from this comment
all characters on avatar are people of color lol
@@felipook9 Not what I mean. Feminist use that reasoning to defend Katara. But always ignore her true attributes
@@jordanidell Not what I meant. I mean those as separate attributes
@@felipook9 not all
If Aang didn't sleep for 100years next Avatar could be Katara, girl from the South.
That's exactly what happened. Korra is from the Southern Water Tribe. Her parents moved from the north to the south and had her there.
@@jasonlopez1174 who knows?
Accept the butterfly accent would mean everyone in Team Avatar besides Aang wouldn't exist. Especially the drastic change in the Fire Nation not conquering the world, Southern Waterbenders not being wiped out, and air benders not being genocided
I don't think so, the Avatar can't be just anyone, they are the reincarnations of the first Avatar, Wan. Even in Last Airbender they made it clear the Avatar was someone who reincarnated, they just elaborated on that in LoK.
@@jasonlopez1174 And what a shame we had to deal with whiny Korra... I'd rather have seen a show based on Elderly Katara than Korra.
If i am in Hama position, i might do the same, to do whatever it take to survive.
I respect hama for being able to learn bloodbending in prison and escape. But not when she bloodbend innocent people just because they are citizens of the fire nation
@@mai4717 To be fair and being honest a lot of fire nation citizens were involved in or supported the war. So, the term innocent people is dependent on how you view the situation.
@@LuminousWhispers11 true
That's why I thought she was a great character tbh. Even though she's a pretty bad person, her motivations make total sense and viewers get why she is the way she is.
Kataras one of the best characters in the whole Avatar universe and my favourite. She became a master so quickly because she learned all she could with great ambition , skill and determination. Since she couldn't get a teacher or even see any other benders in her tribe before Aang.
and Love & Sincerity. Katara has them. We can see how peaceful Katara on her old days
@@mrisfanbs plus she was able to stood her ground against pakku (w/o any fomal training)
Kataras anger was the start to the whole series
No sokka being the annoying older brother (I put little)
@@bleachedspidermonkey2316 Sokka is older.
@@bleachedspidermonkey2316 no without kataras waterbending there wouldn’t be a avatar to save the world purr
@@sw9618 omg out little
@@KanChiateyallsfavsup without sokka she would probably never hit the ice
9:00 honestly it's pretty impressive that Katara could have beat Azula 1 vs 1 before rhe final fight
And remember this is compose azula.... While final battle was mental ill azula... So yeah her arm water thing was strong....
If Azula was focus she would’ve defeat both katara and zuko
Remember that the comet also bolstered the fire benders powers.
@@user-vw8sp5pj6f I don’t think she would’ve, Zuko could’ve beaten her even if she was mentally stable
@@shakesqueer agreed.
“Katara was in hot water”
Katara: “AHHHH THIS WATER IS HOT AHHHHH”
Attention to the channel:
We respectfully demand for an episode of bending evolution for each member of Team Avatar. PLEASE!!!
Sokka
*laughs in sokka*
Hahahaha Sokka rn: 👁👄👁
