[@greenhydra10]

It's the memes, Jack, the DNA of the soul.

[@AnarchistArtificer]

Yeah, especially because I like how the loss of Yue affects Sokka's relationship with Suki - The Serpent's Pass is the main thing that looks at this. When they almost kiss but the moon literally comes between them (which is a beautiful shot), Sokka is clearly feeling conflicted over Yue. I interpreted this as partly grief (perhaps even feeling like kissing Suki would be like "cheating" on Yue, as some people feel when grieving a partner), but also feeling guilty because the last girl he was falling for was someone he was meant to protect. Understandably he was scared of losing Suki, but I think that episode ended with him realising that Suki was also scared of him coming to harm, and that's just what caring about someone means. "My girlfriend turned into the moon" is funny, yeah, but it also has narrative purpose because it shows where Sokka is at with his grief. Like, my best friend died a few years ago, and it's been long enough ago that I can shitpost about the fact he's not here sometimes. Avatar's great depth comes from what you can read between the lines with, and I can see a low of healing from grief in Sokka's phrasing and general demeanor. And what do you know, this episode is when Suki comes back.

Toph having a crush on Sokka makes perfect sense to me. Girl has daddy issues and Sokka is an older boy she knows she can always rely on no matter how much she dunks on him and pushes back in ways she never could back at home. She feels rejected by her father for not truly acceptig her the way she is (from her mother too, but the show did put more focus on her dad) but with Sokka no matter how much she pisses him off, she knows he's as patient and tolerating of her bs as she is with his.

[@HOSER922]

A note: Yue is the princess because she's the northern chief's daughter. Based on that, I'd say Sokka's assessment of himself as a prince because he's the southern chief's son was entirely accurate with the information we had available at the time, pre LoK "one tribe" retcons. The fact that his tribe was much smaller in scale and more impoverished doesn't really change that they did basically hold the same rank as each-other.

[@zenebean]

Agreed. They should be on the same diplomatic level. Otherwise the earth king could call the northern chief a petty lord because the north is mostly one city compared to an entire continent

[@philly_sports1558]

Sokka's misogyny arc in the early episodes meant so much for his character for the rest of the series. Firstly, you can understand why he believed what he believed in the beginning based on how and where he was raised along with his pressure to be the "man of the tribe". He was quickly put in his place by Suki, his worldview was changed for the better, and he spent the rest of the show proving to everyone that he can be a hero even without bending powers. While winning pretty much every girl's heart along the way. Absolute legend.

[@lukeroberson2115]

Love Sokka, but I wouldn't call 1:30 karma. Sokka knew Aang was sad because of how abandoned his home was, so he, a non-bender, challenged Aang to a game of airball. And that wasn't even the first round, which means Sokka willingly got knocked around to make Aang feel better MULTIPLE TIMES.

[@RandomGuy-rh8tx]

I don’t think that’s what he meant by editing in that scene. He just showed it because it showed him getting beat up.

[@MrProdigy810]

I think the big thing for Toph and Sokka comes from the book afterwards where as adults, it is hinted at that they were living together at least for a time, and that suki is out of the picture(amicably). And judging by the books and Korra show, they do spend an awful lot of time together after the group splits. So it’s not far fetched to think Toph never fully grew out of that crush and that they might have had a one-off in all that time spent together, or even a full fledged relationship in the fledgling republic city that fractured when Sokka eventually returned to the southern water tribe. Personally, I think they were gonna make those two a thing at the end of the show, but decided against it after seeing people’s love for suki and for Toph’s tough girl persona.

[@hafirenggayuda]

And also why they never establish two men who bang Toph (there's probably more, but I mean who make her pregnant)

[@Doomzdeh]

To be fair, I think they also declined to make it official because of how short and young Toph seemed next to Sokka, who had a lot more serious moments that made him seem older and more mature. Kinda has the same problems as Aang and Katara. While Katara seems older and more mature than she is, Aang often feels younger and immature than he is. That, in turn, makes their dynamic feel a bit…off.

I stand by my opinion that Sokka x Sukki is the best written romance in both the Last Airbender and Legend of Korra. I don't get why they could never replicate the charm that was Sokka x Sukki with any of the other ships.

[@Sanakudou]

I personally suspect it has to do with the fact that the show runners Mike and Bryan actually had a writing team working with them for Atla, some of these writers really wanted Zuko and Katara to be a ship (thusly, were responsible for adding the scenes with their “accidental” chemistry that popularised the ship among fans) but Mike and Bryan were adamant about a Kataang endgame. Regardless, it’s possible these other writers were the predominant driving force for including Sokka and Suki’s relationship, after all they were only really a background relationship that Mike and Bryan didn’t ever intend to exist after their first episode together. If the writing team was in charge of writing Sokka and Suki’s relationship it would make a LOT more sense considering how consistently bad all the other romances that Mike and Bryan were credited as writing turned out to be 😅

[@haruzanfuucha]

@Sanakudou If you listen to the Braving the Elements podcast then way more featured guests on the podcast have said that their favorite ship is Sukka rather than Kataang, even though Kataang is the major official couple of the series that takes up the most screen time. Tim Hedrick and Joaquim dos Santos, who both made large contributions to the production of the Avatar franchise, have stated that Sukka is their favorite ship in the series.

[@Doomzdeh]

Because Sokka x Suki was legit an accident that came from good writing and good chemistry between characters. The show runners didn’t originally plan for Suki to be a recurring character. They tried forcing other ships, usually by manufacturing petty or cliche romantic subplots or conflicts. Because those moments were forced and hung in the air, we never really got to see the characters involved develop natural chemistry. Take Aang and Katara. Do they have good moments together as friends where they just have fun or play off of each other? Not really, and these moments get even fewer as the show moves along. The show runners were so focused on making them a pairing that they neglected their friendship and dynamic. Every time they have a scene together alone, they’re usually left reeling from an awkward romantic feeling in the air or a conflict about their romantic feelings. They never just get to be themselves together in a natural way. Same thing with Zuko and Mai. Does Mai put herself on the line for Zuko? Yeah. But that doesn’t necessarily make viewers ship them. We see friends and family rescue each other in Avatar a lot. Zuko and Mai never got screen time to just develop their dynamic or to improve each other. That’s why, despite her being a one-off, many people ship Zuko with that Ba Sing Sei Girl (Jin). Because her cheeriness played off of Zuko’s dour and awkward manner, and because she managed to soothe Zuko and to get him to show his hidden depths.

[@dawana203]

Sukka is cute and enjoyable, Kataang is forced and cringe. You could even argue that Kataang ruins the story itself because Aang gets his chakra open via deus ex machina when he hits a rock instead of just letting go of Katara on his own. There's so many militant Kataang shippers and I have never understood that since Kataang is such a mid and boring ship. I think people who are diehard Kataang shippers are either tasteless or project themselves onto Aang. Probably both. Despite the aggressive fanbase, their fan contents aren't good. Their fanfictions are lame and now even Zukka has better fanart than them (more fanfics too). Kataang is the official couple but they aren't written well, they have an obnoxious fanbase that lacks talent, and Bryke are insufferable about their OTP. All of it just makes Kataang so thoroughly unlikeable to me.

[@D3viant517]

[@j.a.r.5974]

Funny enough one of the top ships that appear if you search up Sokka will be him and Zuko. Boiling Rock really cemented that for people even though it was also when Suki came back into the picture. Man just had too much game in the show and I think the fact that it wasn't a focus made it work better than anything they ever actually planned out. But the idea of Zuko and Suki getting together after the Mai breakup always intrigued me, mostly cuz they also left Zuko's baby momma a mystery. They made sure two of the second generation characters had no known parent so people could theorize and then never clarified whether or not the theories were correct or not.

That Ty Lee and Azula ship is such a crack ship that it would be interesting if it became canon, though it’s just the fan art if I’m being honest

The funny thing is how Mordecai ends up being more of an asshole than Rigby, and all of it because he's a simp.

[@InvinciDon]

Sokka genuinely is one of the best characters in the show, as well as the Avatar universe. Growing up, I’ve always loved Zuko and co, but Sokka over the years has become possibly my favorite character in the Avatar universe due to his charm, comedic timing, relatability, sincerity and so much more. I’m glad I watched this video, because it reminded me of why I love this character so much, thank you, SarcasticChorus, thank you for making my Tuesday good.

[@obara7366]

I don't even ship Zukka, but I find it hilarious how you avoided the ship throughout the video while lampshading that fact. Also, would love to hear your thoughts on MaiLee, please! 🥺

[@IvoryHourglass]

Sokka, back bender and Azulas greatest threat

[@bradleybourgeois4710]

Honestly, with how solid Sokka and Suki's relationship is in the show, I can't imagine them not being together by the end. Suki gave Sokka the proper humbling needed to actually be dateable and start his progression as a better fighter. Meanwhile, Sokka gives Suki a chance to relax and be a bit of kid, somethiing she puts off when she's acting as a warrior. Besides, despite trying to suggest otherwise, Zuko and Mai are endgame regardless of relationship turmoil bullshit, and everyone else is already set, so Sokki/Sukka wasn't in any real danger. I feel that they were planned something in Korra, but with the writing of the latter being what it is, they somehow ended up being shafted. Personally, I think they married and either had kids or didn't, whether it be due to decision or medical issues I couldn't say.

[@OmniTheLeader]

Sokka at the beginning of the first season: "I'm literally the best." Sokka toward the end of the final season: "I have so much to learn."

There is an ongoing popular ATLA fanfiction called *Gladiator* were Sokka becomes Azula’s warrior for the arenas and later the two enemies become lovers. It is written by Seyary-Minamoto. My recommendation is you check it that starts from chapter 1 to 356. You’re gonna love it! 🐺 🐉 ❤️‍🔥

Her name's Azula~ She was a princess! At least, she was so long ago, When she used to rule the show! The War has ended! But not for Azula~ Chained with hands behind her back, No room for her lightning attack! Used to make plans so fine- Now she laughs herself half blind! She lost her friends, she lost the Duel- *Now she's lost her mind!*

a other part of the Toph crush on Sokka it is normal that people first crust is someone older. even though a lot of tv-shows want to make it seem either funny joke or weird and unnatural.

[@X-SPONGED]

Sometimes it feels like the writers decided to make the entire show serious and plot-driven but then said "wait, where should we put the actual good comedy and romance?" and then remembered *"Oh right, we have Sokka"*

The "Thats rough buddy clip" will never stop being funny... Just as timeless as the show itsself.

[@Lea-im3wr]

38:30 Of cause Ty Lee is faced by all these people about to die. But I'm very certain she cares more about Zuko then Sokka. Ty Lee is just a flirty person and her remarks to Sokka are just playfulness. Zuko and Ty Lee aren't close, but they grew up together. Ty Lee empathises with Zuko and claims that she knows him. The idea that she doesn't know him upsets her a bit. Zuko insulting her as a circus freak brings her to tears, while Katara saying that would never hit that hard.

[@WinnieBeatles]

Oh you write Tokka off as a joke ship but when I was a young tomboy watching this show as it came out this ship had a chokehold on me. Of course back then my view of shipping was just very innocently thinking it was sweet and wanting Toph to be happy because she was my favorite and also who I related to the most. I still remember the days of doing shippy art trades with Taang shippers on deviantart all in good fun. And I was definitely not alone in the Tokka shipping and fanart back then. Now I’m a lesbian woman with fond memories of enjoying the ship. I think what Tokka fans enjoy to this day is their playful dynamic and a friends-to-lovers angle later on in life. I still carry a small flame in my heart for it but more than anything I think Toph and Sokka’s friendship still just means a lot to me and I’d love to see more of them just spending time together and see what goofy shenanigans they get up to in whatever the future holds for the franchise.

13:57 “Self-afflicted wounds that the original just doesn’t have” is still the most accurate way to describe every adaptation of ATLA thus far. Goes to show what happens when the writers who can’t even understand what *works* in it think they’re good enough to identify let alone fix what doesn’t.

[@emp100k]

Sokka may not have had any bending abilities but he made up for it with Rizz. He had Suki and Yue in the palm of his hand, and even Ty Lee and Toph lusting after him for a little while.

[@avalsnep9910]

There’s one bending style that aang never learned because the only teacher he had was pulling too hard. That is the art of BACKBENDING and sokka was a master XD

Loved the video! Personally I like to headcannon that Sokka, Suki, and Toph became a throuple at some point and eventually split one way or the other.

I still think its really really cute that Toph had a huge crush on Sokka. I hope in the epilogue she lived a happy life.

[@PokeBlox21]

Good work with fixing the audio issues :)

[@youtubeviewer4472]

In my head canon, we never meet one of Sokka's grandchildren in Legend of Korra because he had so many grand children that if someone said "I'm a grandchild of Sokka", Korra would have just said, "Yeah, you and one out of four people in the South". Between ATLA and LoK, the Southern Water Tribe had a huge surge in population. I like to think that Sokka is responsible. He had lots of kids and his kids had lots of kids.

Later season Sokka was what I wanted to be when I entered Highschool but I soon found that even if the girls are talking and laughing with you doesn't mean they think your good enough for them. Ended up spending most my last two year, becoming the quiet guy who was disconnected from people and stop hanging around certain girls. But watching ATLA kept me happy and eventually I did meet other ATLA fans who liked me being the comedic relief in the group.
