Bending is based on martial arts so get that straight watch the movements of the benders they mimic martial artists You right you can practice all your life a be good, but can you give me an example of a 14 year old in the nba, most people practice basketball and watch others play any of the great nba players watched and mimic other basketball players movements they learned for example. Where was katara example, you can practice by yourself all you want but with out test your abilities against others and learning from your experince you'll suck, And no she is not a prodigy because prodigy show great potention as a child katara could barley move the water when we met her so she is not a prodigy

Aang never paid attention.

Your logic that she can't improve in such a shprt time is very flawed. In my martial arts class, there were seven year olds who only joined a few weeks ago who could beat eleven-year olds in a sparring match.

I asked them how, and they said that they practised twenty-four seven. Katara already knew how to control water, she just needed to focus on her technique and increase her level of control, which isn't too hard.

But she has trained for years, too! I admit readily, not 14 years, but years nonetheless. The studio ADMITTED that Katara was unusually good as Pakku said "You have advanced more quickly than any student I have ever trained." In my eyes, as long as the studio admits that something was unlikely, but still happened, then it is fine by me. Maybe not fine by you, but for me, I say it's realistically unrealistic, if you will. Yes it is unrealistic, but it is so in a way that is presented correctly, as something unrealistic would really happen.

Additionally, she was not dubbed a master. Pakku told Aang to call her Master Katara as in Teacher Katara, not Best-Waterbender-On-Earth Katara.

It has caused no trouble for any of my friends who watch Avatar, boy or girl. I say if the fan doesn't like it, it's his or her fault for the way they inferred it. I certainly haven't found her strength to the point of ridicule.
