Was this an inside joke?

It can't be, they're outside the warehouse.

So this invalidates the comics aa canon right? Why would only the silly joke character be surprised by a forklift?
And if so this invalidates azula's redemption too.

It's a sign of unsustainable worldbuilding

The joke is they were to lazy to make it look steam punk or medieval fantasy and call it a mantis mover or something

they didn't even have to get fancy, just not make it look like something created through miniaturization and an international supply chain

The forklift is drawn to be as out-of-place as possible so that the reader will find the new technology as jarring as the characters do.

Seeing a forklift in the Avatar world doesn't feel wrong to me on its own, making that forklift look like one I'd see while shopping at my warehouse club does.
