    I want to know whose the most popular and least popular character. Post whose your favorite character and then your least favorite. And if you want to, include why their your favorite and least favorite. And try not to be offended by someone's choice of characters.

    Favorite Character: Toph
    She's tough, she's short, and she's one of the greatest Earthbenders ever. I like her fashion sense, appearance, and how tough she is, even though she's short. I think that's cute. And she has an interesting history, and unlike some of the main characters, has gone through much needed personal growth, even if only a little. Sure she can be too mean, but I like her all the more for that. That's just the way she is.

    Least Favorite Character: Katara
    Bossy, jealous, a perfectionist, and oblivious to Aang's obvious crush. She became a Waterbending Master in a few days or maybe a week. She had little control over bending, yet she became a Master in so short of time. She's too "save the world, stop moping around, and fight back". She claims she understands others feelings like Aang's and Haru's when they lost their family, but she doesn't. And, honestly, it seems like she's bragging about her mother's death and necklace. I know that sounds harsh, but to me it sounds like it. When she can't bend, she just gasps and stands around. When Mai pinned her to that tree, she didn't even struggle. Her design is too extravagant and she receives too much attention for a non-main Main character (which is Aang). She's an annoying mother hen. I liked her character in the first two episodes because she was a caring motherly figure who struggled with bending. But later she became a bossy know-it-all teen. I know I say this a lot, but the fact so many like her when she has so many annoying faults is a pain. I think I could like her character if I stopped hating her, but I'm reminded of how annoying she is too me all the time. So, no, I hate her.

    Favourite character: Iroh
    I cant really explain why I like him so much as a character but here goes, I think he has a great personality he always looks at thing realistically and normally understands the situation well. He is really wise and is not an evil mad power hungry firebender *coughAzulaOzaiZhaocough*. Eh he makes ok jokes and he's Zuko's uncle which requirs alot of patience. He lost his son and so got to feel sorry for him. Oh and one last thing he is a kick-ass firebender.

    Least favourite character: Ty Lee
    A few selection of the characters on Avatar annoy me (Teo, Katara , Koko,) but one stands out and it has to be Ty Lee. I think she is a fool for not seeing through Azula's plan to make her work for her. She seems like a good person and yet she commits bad crimes, she attacks someone and then says she likes them??? She made that stupid comment about the fur on appa, she hugs people 24/7 and she just doessn't have an interesting personalitly just stupid comments. About the only thing I like about her is that she can do that cool pressure point thing.

    Favorite Character: Zuko

    Zuko is a strong, Coragous, and suprising character he always fights back and doesn't give up without a fight and it is amazing how he went through so much and is now improving his temper. Zukos side of the story always to me seems like??it has a better plot then Aang and the gangs side of teh story.

    Least Favorite Character: Katara??

    Just Like You said phoenixfirework Katara is??Bossy, jealous, a perfectionist, and oblivious to Aang's obvious crush. She became a Waterbending Master in a few days or maybe a week. She had little control over bending, yet she became a Master in so short of time. She's too "save the world, stop moping around, and fight back".

    Iroh: He understands the balance between nations like the Moon Spirit, and the four nations "avatar stuff", as Zuko puts it. He also isn't pushed to anger often

    I like your point about Ty Li. I also don't like her, but I hate Azula. It's not that she's all powerful, it's her attitude. Treating her friends like that, and the the whole "In order to catch my prey, I must be swift, with an elite team" It really annoyed me.

    I completely agree with Pheonix. Toph favorite, Katara least favorite. There's not much that I can say that he hasn't already said.

    It's not that the idea is bad, but the way she said it. She doesn't care for anyone but herself and her goals. I just dislike characters like that, those who don't have a shred of humanity.

    hey, i remember you! weren't you the girl who said katara was a mary-sue?

    i don't see why you hate her so much. what makes you think she is bragging about her mother's death? i'm not trying to be rude, i swear i'm not, i seriously want to know. what made you think katara would brag about her mother's death?

    as for the "master-in-a-short-space-of-time" part, we don't know how long they were at the north pole in between the waterbending master and SotN part 2. and i don't think "master" is a certain rank either. they aren't jedis. a master could simply refer to a person who teaches another person. master pakku told her that aang better get used to calling her master katara, because she would be her new teacher since pakku had to leave.

    and as for the "save the world. stop moping. and fight back" part, i don't know what the heck you're talking about. in bitter work, that was more toph's attitude than anyone else's. katara was being understanding about aang's block with earthbending. and why doesn't she understand feelings? i think she does. she seemed very empathetic when haru was talking about his father, and she even talked about how bending makes them feel closer to their parents who were gone.

    and, yeah she probably does recieve a little too much attention for not being aang, but you can hardly hate her for that. she's not a real person, she can't demand more air time, like a real actor could.

    i think you are being way too hard on her. she's got some anger issues, and she's in denial about the whole aang thing, but that doesn't make her a terrible person.

    okay, now that i got that rant out of me:

    fave: toph. she is tough, oppinionated and the best earthbender in the world. she's better than the king! toph is a true hero. she doesn't dwell on what other people think of her, she's able to overcome her parents' thoughts about her and she is her own person and overcomes all the obstacles in her way.

    least fave: ozai. he is a selfish, sadistic, power-hungry tyrant who has no feelings for a son whom he considers a failure. he is only concerned with his perfect daughter, who came in secoond for my least favorite, only because i believe if ozai hadn't pitted his own children against each other like he did, maybe azula wouldn't have tortured her brother like she did in an effort to make herself seem better in their father's eyes.

    not that azula had some kind of "father's love" aspiration. she had eyes only for the throne, and maybe she wouldn't have tried to obtain it through her brother's misery if it hadn't been for their father.

    What did I say about not criticizing others about their character choices. Yes I hate Katara, I have reasons. And I was wrong to call her a Mary Sue, I can admit that. She's not a Mary Sue. But don't bother me about that alright. People bother me about hating the "oh so beloved" Katara already.
    Katara tells anyone that tells her that they lost a family member to the Fire Nation that she lost her mother. She was struggling with Waterbending, then all of a sudden, she rivals Zuko (it was night, but she held her own against an almost Firebending Master). She beat every other student of Master Pakku's. Come on. She isn't empathetic, she thinks she is. She tries to comfort people and that's alright, but she thinks she can comfort anyone and that she understands how they feel. She doesn't.
    As of the "stop moping around and fightback". She thought that she knew how those broken Earthbenders felt, and that she could singlehandedly change their minds. It was a noble cause, I don't mean to sound like a witch or like Azula, but it's how she acted that poisons even the most noble of causes. She thinks she can lead everyone to a better future, that her way is the right way, and she won't stop until everyone sees the world like she does. sure, she wants to help the world, but she's going about it all wrong.
    And why can't I hate Katara. Too me, she's annoying. See, people are bothering me about hating her. I bet if it were Azula who were my least favorite character no one would bother me. Alas, it is Katara who I hate and are being nagged about. So what, I hate Katara, so do other people. Leave me alone about this. I like to make my point that I dislike Katara, but to do this over and over and not make a difference in people's views is annoying.
    Ahem, thank you for putting up with that. May the original purpose of this topic continue please.

    it's not her fault that she doesn't like Katara. Katara is a Hate or Love character.

    You don't like Katara that much that suprises me why do you have her as your icon then? Also some people just hate how she tries to be perfect or that's why I hate her
