Katara rocks now maybe. Then you're introduced to some other female characters that are so ridiculously cooler than Katara that she seems mediocre and boring in comparison. She's still okay though.

More interesting characters don't make interesting characters less interesting - that makes no sense. From: CalvinbalI | #012 It's strange; I admit that I'm only three episodes in (and made that comment after just one) and will readily defer authority on this subject to well-versed fans, but in my limited time with the show, I've learned that she's an intelligent, brave, and humble character voiced by an emotive actor.

From: Natwaf_akidna | #005 Hang on to your seat! In my humble opinion, it's a show that starts out as merely "pretty good" and then escalates to incredible, and then keeps managing to outdo itself all the way through the end. So if you like it this much already, you should probably hire someone to collect the fragments of your brain before you continue any further. From: iiicon | #015 Less interesting characters can seem more interesting when they don't have much competition is what I think was trying to be communicated there. From: CalvinbalI | #019 I think fourteen year olds are annoying in real life, let alone in my serialized entertainment media.

From: iiicon | #015 She does sort of devolve into a more annoying character later. It doesn't help that the show just loves her. She's almost always presented as the one who's the most righteous and great, even when she's acts in the most annoying ways. -- Okay, I rolled a 14. What's that mean? Hsu That you're a cheater.

What? More interesting characters don't make interesting characters less interesting - that makes no sense. Less interesting characters can seem more interesting when they don't have much competition is what I think was trying to be communicated there. That basically. What I'm trying to say is that I really doubt Katara's going to be anywhere near the top of your rankings when the entire cast is revealed and everyone has gotten a chance to develop. -- You're such a kid!

The other characters have plenty of immature moments (as well as Katara) but don't get nearly as much criticism for them.

From: Rad Link 5 | #020 I am fully capable of determining whether a character is interesting regardless of how they compare to other characters. If I thought she was just alright, I'd say she's just alright. It's entirely possible that later situations may change my opinion on her, but we're not talking about that. From: GenesisSaga | #022 That is a completely different sentiment. 'She is not as good as other characters' is not the same as 'other characters make her look dull.' Anyway, episode four was cool. Sokka's stance on the capabilities of women changed far too quickly; there definitely should have been a scene between the embarrassment and his acceptance, but hey, 23 minute episodes. -- ICON: When there's nothing left to burn, you have to set Bidoof on fire. ...

From: Rad Link 5 | #026 And this has nothing to do with my ability to establish an opinion based on my observations. From: AlecTrevelyan006 | #029 Dude has great taste in tea. But he probably hasn't been exposed to the best tea, so really, I should be saying he has pedestrian taste in tea. From: KamikazePotato | #030 There's no spoilers here! And the four episodes I've watched have been fine. The opening two-parter is great, and the other two episodes do a pretty good job setting the tone of the series. Is this a case of seasons 2 and 3 blowing 1 out of the water, or does 1 get weaker from here on in? Guess I'll find out for myself - more Avatar after breakfast. -- Love is better than anger.

Season 2 arguably blows 1 out of the water. 3 is very up and down. 1 has some filler eps to come, but also a lot of great stuff (some it very very soon, so get back to it!).

Here's something fun - rather than doubting my agency, questioning whether I'm cognizant of my inherent biases, insinuating that characters are constantly competing inside my head and that, by extension, I am ignorant of other more compelling characters because I rather like Katara in the first couple episodes, you could not post.

I'd say 1 is the weakest, as well. Not for any single major reason, just that everything generally gets better in the later seasons. The characters introduced later, both good guys and bad, really add a lot to the show. The action sequences just get better and better as the show goes along. The filler episodes are handled much more gracefully, and are pretty much never entirely filler. The main characters get more fleshed out and interesting.
