Who was in the wrong here?
Me.
I'm sorry.
the fire nation for not destroying them
Katara. He has absolutely no obligation to train her.
Katara for not sucking his dick in exchange for lessons
Southern water tribe peasant comes from a village that can't even repel one Fire nation scout ship, has laughable architecture, and enough people to not starve for maybe 1 or 2 more years. She comes to the gem of the north, a glorious city with gleaming architecture and robust culture. And she has the nerve to say that she know's better than their greatest waterbending master. I think they know what they're doing and don't need you to tell them how to be woke.
Katara should have known her place as a woman
Katara was pretty damn shitty throughout the episode, but it worked in the episodes favor because it was leading up to her being defeated. Yeah she was acting awful, but she was stressed and desperate and insulted, and in the end it didn't matter because he was still the master and easily able to defeat her. What mattered was the emotion of an old man who came to see something in this person he thought lost, and that's really what sold the scene.
In short this episode only worked because it was back then, because they knew that even if it was a spunky young girl it mattered more to the story that she couldn't beat the sexist old man in a straight up fight, and I really respected the character growth they gave him and the reminder to Katara about her limitations they gave her.
Great scene.
That old man reeks of incel.
The olda master.
>No! I refuse to train the AVATAR's waterbending companion because ??? If she trains herself in secret then hell I won't even train the Avatar so NYEH!
Pakku desperately needed some perspective
He is fucking your grangran now, Katara.
It really bugged me that the north in general was sexist because of the basic question of what happened if the Avatar was female? Did they just send Kyoshi and Yangchen to the south to learn, or only taught them healing, or made an exception, or what? He seemed too stringent on this; it'd have been better if his sexism just extended to condescension and he later felt ashamed of treating Kanna's granddaughter that way.
No, it was me, user. I was in the wrong.
Maybe if they did, Kyoshi wouldn't have wound up a violent warmonger.
The king for not telling the master to suck it up since the fate of the world could be in the line.
>Did they just send Kyoshi and Yangchen to the south to learn, or only taught them healing, or made an exception, or what?
More than likely made an exception. The role of the avatar takes precedence over cultural customs. Otherwise Yangchen would've been bound by Air Nomad values and would've had no kills to her credit, nor would Aang been allowed to marry (granted, there was also nobody around to enforce this) since Air Nomads don't practice monogamy.
No need to cover for me, guys. I was at fault here.
Based. Literally every female avatar has been a cunt.
I mean she stopped a war. Chan was the warmongering person.
Except a healer is far more important for the team than another fighter (especially since its the fucking avatars team, no other bender will hit nearly as hard as he will).
Katara could succesfully learn fighting and healing, making the master's decision even more stupid.
Wouldn’t it be better to have a healer also be a fighter?
or she could be a skilled healing AND combatant, like what happens. The Avatar is powerful but Aang needed help to complete his quest Pakku was being a stupid idiot basically just for drama
Katara got butthurt Aang was more talented as a water bender.
Having another fighter really isn’t necessary when the Avatar is on the team. He can sweep all enemies when trained.
Multifaceted issue where both are at fault in some way.
No when there is a whole imperial army behind him, besides there was a non bender in the team so more fighters are a better option.
Katara is sexy and a main character so she is “right” but the real answer is they are both wrong.
wasted quint
I broke the dam.
Based. Katara fags btfo.
… You got some balls, trying to pull that crap on me. You think I'm going to let it slide that easy, asshole!?
The best healers are the ones that can stop any damage from happening before it happens.
If you have to ask, you’ll never know.
this
she was jealous and a selfish bitch
There were situations where the team got split up and separated for some reason or another. Katara and the rest needed to be able to fight and defend themselves when that happened, instead of just depend on Aang.
This
Except she wasn’t because Aang clearly couldn’t do everything by himself. The entire team was necessary, and Katara learned both combat and healing, meaning that Pakku was just a whiny, chauvinist cunt with outdated ideals that were proven wrong.
well we'll know in kyoshi's case in july when her book comes out
Katara didn't even need to be there at all. The show's called Avatar. Not Kataratar. She was just a rando who was along the ride to be an exposition box.
The writers. Seriously the waterbending master officially and fairly defeated Katara but he STILL has to teach her because the writers are preachy forceful feminist bastards and cunts and somehow win the argument. Bunch of bullshit. In retrospect I really don't like Avatar such a bunch of blatant inflated feminist junk.
Remember who you're talking to, user.
Except he pretty much did do everything.
Yeah, like being one-shotted by a lightning-tossing little fire-quim.
Aang only needs sokka
