While I do understand that it's hard to feel explicit tension when a main character is put into a dangerous situation because being genre savvy makes it difficult, the same is true of almost any series, where it's either a torn shirt and a bit of red jam on their face or making death cheap.



Katara's mother's murder happened. It was a huge part of Katara's backstory and motivation.

Oh if the whole crux and novelty is gonna be 'who is gonna die next' then I don't appreciate it either. But I like my shows to have actual cause and effect and consequence something that Avatar rarely had.

And really? I remember nothing about Katara at all, I only made it through the first two seasons and I felt I had given the show enough of my time to impress me and it hadn't yet.
