I don't see how she became a master. She became quite good, but not a master. The moves she used when fighting Zuko were not complex in any way... except for a few of 'em. |
Beats me, ask Master Pakku and the Avatar creators why they had to make Katara a Waterbending Master.
|
What do you mean? WHEN was she dubbed a water-bending master??? I don't remember them calling her a master except for when Pakku says "call her Msater Katara" which doesn't count because there "master" means "master over Aang" not "master over waterbending" |
Master Pakku in "Siege of the North Pole Part Two: then he better start calling you Master Katara.
Pakku was dubbing Katara a master. Not just to Aang, but as a Waterbending Master. Everyone else knows that Pakku named Katara a Waterbending Master then. But how he said it was referring to what Katara and Pakku were discussing.
Master Pakku: I've decided to go to the South Pole. Some other benders and healers want to join me. Its time we rebuild our sister tribe.
Katara: What about Aang? He still needs to learn Waterbending.
Master Pakku: Then he better get used to calling you Master Katara.
See, Pakku dubbed Katara a master while linking it into their conversation.

As I said before: In my opinion, that meant "master of Aang", not "master of waterbending". |
But do you now think that Katara was named a Waterbending Master and not just Aang's Waterbending Master?
|
Personally I do not think that she is a waterbending master, nor does the show portray her as such, but perhaps I infer differently than the majority. Of course, I have high standards: I don't even think Toph is an earthbending master, whereas Bumi is. |
Why then would a master waterbender who has been teaching others for years (Pakku) assign an average bender to teach the Avatar? Pakku most certainly dubbed her as a master, I have no doubt. But she is not a master waterbender, nor is Aang right now really. But the show for some reason wants to porray them as such. Nick's one commercial for TFOA even dubbed Aang an earthbending master after ONLY ONE DAY OF TRAINING! That's pretty sad. The show has itself said it takes years to become a master, so why have they jumped the gun with Katara? |
Remember, Pakku might have known that he would be travelling on boat with Katara for two/three weeks. (I forget the amount, it was said by Iroh in Chapter 21 when he mentioned sea vultures...) This is plenty of time for him to advise the way Katara will teach Aang and work on her skills further. And don't forget during Chapter 30, Aang said "I train hard with Toph and Katara every day, I need a break" or something along those lines, so he didn't train for just one day. Don't get me wrong, I know he's no master, but he's been earthbending for about a week now I'd say. |
Oh yeah, I forgot about that three weak boat ride, but Pakku named Katara a Waterbending Master at the end of "The Siege of the North Pole Part 2" before they went on that ship.
|
How many times do I have to say it?! To me, master meant "Aang's master" not "waterbending master". Maybe I'm the only one who inferred that line that way, but it's annoying when you keep using the same argument repeatedly. |
Sorry, piranhapete, but you are the only one that sees this that way. Everyone else says that Pakku named Katara an official Waterbending Master, I think even the creators said this.
