She's just so awesome. And to start bending metal too? She's cool and powerful.

Either Zuko or Iroh is the best character overall. Together, they're the best part of the show.

I can't believe we had to wait well into the second season before we finally saw toph. She's a staple part of the franchise!

While I do love Toph, Zuko's journey makes him a far more compelling character

Toph is probably the most static of the characters in the Last Airbender.

Agreed, she starts the show awesome, and ends it awesome.

I thought that was weird when I tried rewatching it. It had always felt like she was there for at least 70% of it, but it turns out she doesn't appear until you're over 40% of the way through.

Right? Yeah, but that's nothing compared to Zuko only becoming a good guy and joining team avatar like 3 episodes before the end.

Toph, Sokka, Iroh, and Zuko are all fucking fantastic characters, and it's hard for me to pick just one as a favorite.

Toph is the best overall. But Zuko has a great character arc.

My top ten characters across both series would be something like this:

1) Korra (no, that's not a typo, and I stand by it)
2) Zuko
3, 4) Iroh, Sokka (really hard to decide here)
5) Katara
6, 7) Toph, Aang
8) Zaheer
9) Azula
10) Lin or Tenzin (tough choice here)

Toph's an excellent character, but the one thing weighing her down is that she's already an earthbending goddess by the time she joins the group; so you don't get the wealth of character arc that's a byproduct of slowly mastering her craft, like you get with Katara (this also forced the writers to constantly put Toph into positions where she was nerfed). Her backstory is also a bit too minimal compared to the other top characters; her one brief flashback of learning earthbending from badger moles gives me warm fuzzies every time I watch it, but there's just not enough of moments like this for her.

Yeah easily. I'm so happy they had the balls to go through with how actually insane she went.

If she hadn't gone insane with mistrust I wonder if they would have still beaten her. I mean hell she literally beat the Avatar in the Avatar state by zapping him with lightning, not even the Fire Lord did that. I still don't understand How they could have let that happen.

Toph's my favorite character from the franchise if you're just talking about which charater I like the most, but if we're talking arcs, zuko's got the best arc by a mile.

The answer is no. Her madness was done well enough in its short window of development - and there are far, far worse ways to illustrate a character's descent into madness, cough cough Game of Thrones - but it was still a conveniently-timed nerfing.

Yeah it was very plausible that she'd descend into mistrust like that, having used fear her entire life (and when it didn't work, that shattered her) so I really like how the show handled that.

I also like something they did in the comics. You know how Azula had the dai li agents at her disposal but she ended up exiling them due to not being able to trust them or anyone else. Well when Zuko became fire Lord he had the kyoshi warriors as his personal bodyguards and there it worked because it was filled with people he can trust like suki and ty lee.

I actually thought that was a great way to parallel the difference between Zuko and Azula.

Edit I also think that was shown in the last episode of the show too.

Aang was distracted when Azula zapped him. Ozai never had that opportunity, and he only fought Aang after he learned how to redirect lightning.

I don't think Katara and Zuko win against a fully rational Azula with the comet powerup unless they ambush her.

Zuko also has a comet power up though, he's a fire bender too.
