What was the point of Sokka in Avatar? Comic relief? He doesn't do anything or change much besides for respecting women that one episode
>>221394798>Comic relief?Yes. That's all
>>221394798audience self-insert for the haired, also the "thinker" that comes up with plans, and the ron weasley of comic relief yeah
>>221394798Bait thread? Any adventure group full of magic users needs a token non magic soldier to balance them. Sokka keeps them grounded because the rest think through problems with magic instead of logic. Also they needed a chad to go around laying pipe in every city they visit.
Buffer.Sometimes comic relief, sometimes an ally that can rescue the heroes at specific moments, sometimes someone the characters can talk to, sometimes he is reacting to the world around in place of the audience.
>>221394798You need someone with no powers around people with powers to show off their powers
>>221394832>also the "thinker" that comes up with plansTheir attempts at giving her m something more but he's really just there to be normal and sometimes funny
He was their de facto leader, came up with all their plans.

>>221394798>>221395004>>221394903>>221394870He's the Batman of their Justice League, except with a sense of humor. Don't ever ask this question again.
>>221395058Bateman literally does everything, sokka doesn't do anything
>>221394798He makes plans that always go wrong
>>221395004He planned BOTH fire nation invasions.
>>221394798He’s the Ideas Guy.
>>221394798His big purpose was planning out the invasion, and not only did it fail the objective, it also got everyone captured, because Sokka didn't plan ahead.
>>221394798Watertribing Azula
>>221394798Every gang needs someone who doesn't do anything
>>221395212He didn't know what he was doing until iroh asked him what he was doing
>>221395212He also perfected the war balloon by adding a vent in the top.
>>221394974BBC bait the small blind white girl
>>221394798The non-bender representative.
>>221395089>>sokka doesn't do anythingHe drove the plot. Katara and Aang would not have made it to the North Pole in any reasonable fashion. Aang was a dumb kid and Katara was a little girl. Sokka was the only one with any sense to get a map and navigate.If Sokka didn't get captured by the forest spirit, Aang would not have gone on the journey to Roku and found out about Sozin's comet.The Day of Black Sun attack was unsuccessful, but it still determined how the gaang proceeded in season 2 and the 2nd half of season 3. It never would have happened without Sokka.
>>221395248>because Sokka didn't plan ahead>>if your enemy is smart and overcomes your plans, that means you didn't plan aheadlol whut
>>221395284This is making up for Katara's scorched pussy
>>221395455you out smart the enemyit is fair to assume Fire Nation wouldn't be aware of the vulnerability and would plan according to
>>221395455>The master tactician who only planned one thing and lost immediately
>>221395377>Even her voice actress was blackedSad stuff
Sokka was also the brave one in the group.
>>221395637>it is fair to assume Fire Nation wouldn't be aware of the vulnerability and would plan according to>>221395698when you were 16, you were cumming in your socks to anime. sokka was devising war plans and leading a joint coalition to attack an empire in its own capitol. even if it failed, it was still impressive, and the closest anyone got in 100 years.

>>221395972Now this is some grade A shitposting.
>>221395993Imagine defending the fucking feminist clap trap that always bitches at everyone else every goddamn episode.
>>221396226Well, arguably she was right at times and when she was wrong, the show did a good job at pointing out she was wrong.
>>221396226Insecure
>>221396271Except for the fact she gets the second biggest win in the entire series.
>>221395739Sauce? Hot
>>221396226filtered
>>221394798>He doesn't do anything or change muchMan maybe watch the show with your phone off this time.
>>221395972Post tits
>>221395972Katara was fine. Her main problem is that her character arc concluded at the end of season one. Plus her focus episodes in season 3 were a mixed bag. Puppetmaster was great, but Painted Lady was lame, and Runaway and Southern Raiders showcased her negative aspects. By the end the show was so focused on Zuko that everyone else, including Aang, got severely diminished and Katara at her best was just "The Waterbender."
>>221396322Zuko only lost because Katara was there in the first place. It's fine that she ends up finishing the job after being dragged into it. My only issue with it is that it does a disservice to Katara's character to have her only contribution to the finale being fighting a villain she'd basically never interacted with before.
>>221396344They kinda forget about him
>>221396608How's that explain her untrained ass actually holding her own against a water bending master in season 1?
>>221394798>>221394903He was the master shake to Katara’s frylock and Ang’s meatwad
>>221396226Katara grew out of that pretty quick and was the only competent person holding the group together when Appa got stolen. Sokka was high on cactus juice, Toph was useless in the sandy desert, Aang was in a terrible mental state (and still very much a child), and it was up to her to lead the group. Absolute shit opinion, objectively wrong, and total bait.
>>221396694Bro didn't even try
Why are there so many katara simps in this thread? Is /tv/ unironically stupid enough to hate Sokka and white knight Katara?
>>221396694because plot!
>>221395972Zuko wasnt bad by any means but he was as the other guy says way too emo and moody to feel compelling, there is "I have trauma and a lot of pressure on my shoulders and it makes me messed up" and then there is whatever Zuzu was doing.You can honestly just look at the ember island players and get a good idea of what characters sucked the most. Azula and Iroh are S tier since theyre both fun and fucked up.Toph is overrated, you people just have foot fetishes.But yes, Katara is such a stick in the mud. Wah wah womens rights wah wah "my mother is dead, you dont know how that feels" which she said to her brothers face. Fuck Katara. Mai is barely a character, just a frumpy receptacle for Zukos angst (and cum)
>>221396226>feministYeah that would be in LoK.
>>221394798They got all the character development they could get out of him in season 1
>>221394798Sokka handled logistics and planning so the others could focus on fighting.The Fire Nation invasion was his plan and might have worked if Azula hadn't infiltrated the Earth Kingdom and stolen their plans.And when that failed he wiped out the entire Fire Nation airship fleet during the comet with just Suki and Toph. That fleet would have torched the entire Earth Kingdom.Oh, and he personally killed one of the strongest benders in the series who almost killed them all. Sparky Sparky Boom Man
>>221397141im too lazy to pull it up but Azula straight up respected Sokka the most. Doesnt make him the strongest fighter, but the scene where Azula is cornered, she deflects Sokkas boomerang first before doing the firesphere that allows her to escape. And in the sequence where she is leading team avatar along to wait out the eclipse, Sokka is the smart one that sees through her goading which forced her to single him out
>>221395739Big if true
>>221396608>fighting a villain she'd basically never interacted with beforeKatara fought Azula before at the end of Season 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66owGnzYGH0And she kinda kicked her ass. Azula had to be saved by Zuko.Katara is OP and never gets credit for it like Azula and Toph do.
>>221396694>her untrained assShe is traveling with the literal avatar and actively learning and growing stronger through the entirety of season 1. She can barely waterbend in the first episode, and constantly has to push her limits to survive. Every other waterbender is training their abilities for style and technique, but Katara is training for survival because team avatar will fucking die if they aren't stronger than their opponents. >holding her own against a water bending masterShe does better than most, but is clearly not his equal at this time. However, she does well enough for Pakku to see that she's much more talented than the rest of the retards who seek his instruction. Anyway this is a bog-standard character arc in fiction, and if you're trying to insinuate that Katara is a Mary Sue, that's objectively false.
>>221395972>Azula>not S tierJust say you suck dick
>>221394798To get cucked by Zuko. Zukichads rise up!
>>221395089Sokka is the smartest. He makes the plans and reads the maps and can come in clutch sometimes like when he defeated Combustion Man.
>>221394798The other characters had broad objectives but Sokka was the one who executed. Generally he was the one who saw through bullshit and could actually plan and think outside the box. He invented 2 new vehicles of war, actively sought the information to defeat the Fire Nation, came up with the idea to deliver it to the Earth Kingdom, and planned the invasion that only failed because the Earth Kingdom was compromised and run by a retard and the Earth Gestapo. Even in the worst case scenario after everything else failed and the comet was boosting firebending, he improvised the destruction of the entire Fire Nation fleet of genocide blimps. He also came up with the plan to escape Boiling Rock, freeing his gf who of course let him smash on the filthy ground of their camps afterward. Some of this even happens in the very first season. You just have to actually watch the show.
>>221394798>What was the point of Sokka in AvatarBeing a chad thundercuck.
>>221395972Are you a woman or something?
>>221397876It’s funny how in denial the fandom is about this
>>221397918It's even more obvious with how thirsty toph is in the new movie.
>>221397876Actually Lin is Zuko's, and Suyin is Sokka's. The Toph who had those kids is canonically a huge slut.
>>221396694Pakku?He fucking destroys her. >Study closely!
>>221397794>eh fights the fire nation and doesn't afraid of anything!
>>221397876>Flameo my dear hotman>Creampies toph >Leaves

>>221398191My dream
>>221398191Well well well, if it isn't The Runaway. Are you ready for your punishment?
>>221398305That last thing is kinda hot. Unweddable, fatherless behavior to be sure, but hot.
>>221398305Does toph get her scratch?
>>221394798He's the strategist of the group.
>>221398370Ask sokka.
Sokka's power is plotbending. The entire plot happens the way it does because of Sokka. Now you know.
>>221398305Is toph just horny the entire movie? I'm never going to watch
>>221398532No, but she pretty much throws herself at the airbender bad guy.
>>221398532Villain is dark skin and toph love BBC like her voice actress
>>221394832>audience self-insert for the haired"The haired"? People relate to a character having hair?
>>221398610>Villain is dark skinwhat? The airbender dude is white and the voice actor is american mutt white.
>>221398653don't reply to that guy. Baldies are deranged
>>221398656He's darker than them
>>221398866Yeah, but like spain dark, not mexican dark.
>>221398884The second B is for brown
>>221397876i forgot about suyin. She was voiced by that crazy bitch Anne Heche lmao
>>221397945If they had any balls they’d make this canon.
>>221399486It IS cannon
>>221394798He is a mix of comic relief, straight man, and brainiac depending on the situation.
Audience surrogate.
>>221399454She was insufferable, I hated how Lin was made out to be the bad guy even though Suyin and Toph wronged her.
>>221399884What did toph do wrong?
>>221395972>lead characters>Mai and Ty Lee includedlol, lmao even
>>221394798They didn't know what to do with him
>>221394798He's the Ron Weasley of Avatar
>>221401899He's more like movie Ron who doesn't do anything
You people are all incomprehensibly retarded. He's the Saul Goodman of Avatar
>>221402026I see you mean blue avatar since your pepe is blue
>>221394798Did he ever win a fight?
>>221402238Several, especially toward the end of the series when he's embraced his role as a strategist and uses clever ideas instead of charging blindly like he thinks a proper warrior should. Look at Sokka at the start of the show: mindlessly screams and charges at Zuko, gets instanly btfo. Sokka toward the end of season 3: comes up with a plan to take out an entire fleet of war zeppelins and carries out with only like 3 people, himself included. Also, he was the one who technically took down Combustion Man.
>>221397876Can't believe Toph banged Wang Fire
>>221395972>Characters I can't stop having intrusive sexual thoughts aboutTy Lee, Azula>whateverThe rest of them
>>221397918Legend of Korra confirmed Soka died single and childless. Possibly a virgin
>>221402317I don't know, it sounds like cope. Any bender can be smart. A smart non-bender can't bend.
>>221402447>Legend of Korra.It was determined in TLA because that fortune teller is never wrong.Sokka suffers for his entire life.
>>221402447>Legend of KorraGay and non-canon
>>221402461>Any bender can be smartthen why aren't they?
>>221402507You can suffer without never having kids or getting married. It wasn't until the feminist shit really took over in Kora that they decided he would be killed off early and have no legacy. They probably hated him as such a great role model for boys
>>221402461I'll explain this to you in real life terms. Katara, Aang, and Toph are goycattle (or hylics if you wish). Sokka is an ensouled schizoid. They are incapable of what he is able to do because it's predetermined by nature. Kind of like bending. Hope that helps.
>>221402559>Your future is full of struggle and anguish. Most of it self-inflicted.That’s his fortune from a person who is never wrong.Sokka’s life was hell. As expected from non-benders.I wonder what are the chances Toph got him to kill himself after Suyin because it’s glaringly clear that’s his kid.
>>221402461>Any bender can be smartAnd there are smart benders in the series. Sokka's still one of the cleverest characters in the series, and scores wins against some of the most formidable forces they go up against. He loses a fair amount too, so his wins feel more deserved when they happen. He's the main reason they managed to foil Azula's mega drill outside Ba-Sing-Se, since he figured out how to sabotage it. Of course, Azula being Azula, she used that defeat as motivation to come up with an even better plan for taking the city through subversion. A win, and a loss for Sokka.His plan to invade the fire nation was ambitious and seemed to go well, but then it was revealed to have been discovered, and preempted, resulting in a total route for him and the forces he had commanded. But his second plan went much better.
>>221402647Even then that's all strategy stuff. How is he supposed to be Batman if he can't win meaningful fights in direct engagement? Batman beat Superman.
>>221402644Literally confirmed he died childless. He had no kids. That's a ridiculous cope from people mad at the feminist writers killing him off and making sure he has no legacy
>>221394798Thats a pretty reductive and selective read of his character, but I feel you must know this going in. Stepping into leadership and sword mastery replaced cynicism disguised as comedy and needing to cling to tired ideas of inherent superiority (partially shown through the sexism thing) in place of true confidence in his actual abilities. Some good legitimate growth
>>221402362Girls don't bang, they get banged
>>221402447Based
>>221402559>They probably hated him as such a great role model for boysWhat makes him so great?
>>221402804He never became a better fighter
>>221402447Well what about Suki?They were banging the entire time during the Fire arc. She couldn't bare him one kid?
>>221403273Literally whoki?
>>221402559>What was the point of Sokka in Avatar?To watch.
>>221403233Handling stressful situations, taking on a leadership role, not getting bogged down in his emotions, facing and understanding his short comings and focusing on and improving what strengths he has>>221403273He only got to third base
>>221403273Suki left and never talked to him after, korra confirmed
Is the new Earth avatar being a disabled latina lesbian real or was just a meme?
>>221402686>>221403248He took out multiple comet powered fire benders while taking over an airship and bringing down an entire airship fleet. How much fucking better fighting could he have possibly done??
>>221404137This. He fought smart not hard and thats as much a sign of his growth as anything
>>221404137>>221404309>How much fucking better fighting could he have possibly done??Beating a named bender who actually matters in a duel LMAO don't be disingenuous
>>221404137They literally lost
>he doesn't do anything>literally almost decapitates zuko the first time they meet despite being an untrained retard
>>221404654You mean when Zuko utterly embarrassed Sokka without even bending, but then the boomerang comically bounced off Zuko's helmet by accident? Seems like a stretch.
>>221394798>What was the point of Sokka in Avatar>What was the moral>Why won't the other kids play with me>When is Dad coming home
>>221395972LONDON
>>221402447Maybe. But Wang Fire? Dude got laid so often he never bothered getting out of bed. What a guy
>>221400659Not discipline suyin for giving Lin that scar for her criminal acts. I think toph just ignores it.
>>221394798>non-bendergives weight to the idea that bending is just one tool among many. you can practice with any tool and become competent/useful.>sex iconnot even joking or being creepy. the flirtiness with suki/yue/tylee adds something to the show.>ideas guy"the drill" has the best example. like he comes up with a good, subtle idea that an actual smart person would come up with.>comic reliefit is possible to write a good comic relief.
Did people in this thread not watch the show or are fucking basing their opinions on the singular time they watched it as a kid 20 years ago? what's with all of the fucking retarded bullshit responses to OP.
>>221406222>are fucking basing their opinions on the singular time they watched it as a kid 20 years ago?You got me.
>>221400659She reprimanded Lin for arresting Suyin and covered up Suyin's criminal activity to protect her own reputation. Then in the present she acts like Lin is in the wrong for not "getting over it" even though Suyin never apologized for scarring Lin and acting like a jerkass. She also refused to tell Lin about her father when she was growing up but then randomly reveals who he was when KORRA asks.
>>221402559It's weird, because the obvious implication in season 1 was that the entire previous cast had died other than Katara. But Sokka was the only one specifically mentioned as being dead, so as the writers brought back more characters for fan service in later seasons it looked like Sokka just got the shaft for no reason.
