Sorry everybody, I haven't done an article in a while. I've been working on other clubs a lot so I haven't been here as much, however, I thought I would come back and write another article. This time, it's going to be my LEAST FAVORITE characters from Avatar. This will only be including characters from Avatar: The Last Airbender, because if I included The Legend Of Korra then my whole list would be Legend of Korra characters. Anyways, please keep in mind that this is my opinion, and we may disagree, so respect my opinion and I'll respect yours. Enjoy the article! :)
*there will be spoilers of episodes in these descriptions.*
5. Cabbage Merchant
Seriously, he is just so annoying. To a point where he makes it on this list. I know he's supposed to add comic relief to the series, but really he brings way too much over the top humor to the series. I don't know if I'm the only one, but in tv shows over the top humor annoys me. What's the point? Do people laugh at him? It was funny in the beginning, but it started to wear off, and luckily he's not in Season 3, because he was really annoying me around Season 2. Tell me, am I the only one who hates him? I know that some people think he's funny, although I actually do know some people that hate him, and I can understand why. Some people DO think he's funny though, but I just think it's too much. He's not in the top 4 because the top 4 characters are MUCH MORE than just annoying. They ARE irritating, just for different reasons.
4. Fire Lord Sozin
Fire Lord Sozin really irritates me, for multiple reasons. Okay, so the entire kingdom is in complete balance, he's going to become the Firelord, and suddenly, that's not enough for him? He wants the WHOLE WORLD. Why does he feel the need to take over the whole world? What's the point? He can't just torment his own people, but he had to take it out on the earth kingdom, water tribe, and air nomads. He wants his best friend, Avatar Roku, to join him in taking over the world. (And he tells Roku this where?! At his wedding! Why did he feel the need to tell him there? It's supposed to be a happy wedding, and of course Sozin has to tell Roku that there, and make him all stressed.) Roku tells Sozin's he won't allow it, and he goes and does it anyway! Really? He had to do that? Couldn't he just be happy with ruling the Fire Nation? Well, it appears not. But then I wonder, what could his motive have been? I think he was jealous of Roku. If you watch the episode you see that when Roku learns he's the Avatar, he's surprised, but the look of surprise on his face almost looks mad, like he wanted to be the Avatar or something. Then he must of thought he could use his best friend the avatar to his advantage, by using him to help him take control of the world. That's just my guess, but if it's true, why would he do that? Why would you do that to your best friend? However, that's just a guess, and it's probably not right. Anyways, back to Sozin's story. They fight multiple times, and then when Roku is an old man, the island he lives on has a volcano eruption. The reason Fire Lord Sozin isn't higher is because he actually helps Roku in the end.
3. Ty Lee
Wait a second, I put the deranged freak that betrayed his own best friend below an annoying teenage girl? Yes, will I have a thing for people like Sozin, however what he has done was unforgivable, so I gave him a spot on this list. Let's talk about Ty Lee now. She also irritates me, but in a different way. She is just, well, so annoying! She's way too hyper as well, how does anyone get that hyper? However, what annoys me the most is that guys are always attracted to her. Especially in the beach, people are flocking around Ty Lee, trying to please her. I honestly don't think Ty Lee looks attractive at all, and she looks kind of weird. It also annoys me in The Beach, how Ty Lee treats these guys who just want to impress her, like their her slaves! She gets them to stand in spots to block put the sun, then she makes them fetch thing for her, and she treats them like trash. (I love the joke that they include where Mai says that only stupid girls like the seashells, and then Ty Lee loves it.) Anyways, she's not up in the top 2, well, maybe it's just because the top 2 are more than just super annoying.
2. Admiral Zhou
I know for a fact that I'm not the only one who hates this guy. I shouldn't ever be happy when someone does, even if it is just a show, but I have to say, he almost deserved it. I'm sorry to say it, but that's what I think, I'm not saying he deserved to die completely, I'm just saying that it was better for the series when he wasn't in it anymore. I don't have that much to say about him though, because I haven't watched season 1 as obsessively as the other seasons, but I've still watched it, in case anyone thought I haven't. :P and the fact that he's not in the series that much. But he's the type of character that's all like "I'm more evil than you." And he tries to prove it. He actually manages to capture Aang, put luckily "The Blue Spirit" aka Zuko, rescues him. I hate the part though where Zhou had the pirates blow up the ship! Zuko is seriously hurt and almost killed! Iroh probably would have been killed if he hadn't left earlier. Zhou is just so irritating, in so many ways, but number 1 only had a one dimensional purpose in the show.
1. Fire Lord Ozai
The character that the entire goal of the show was built on, and he turned out to be the most disappointing character in the entire series, by far. The only good thing about him was that he had a backstory. But even his backstory was mostly built around Zuko and his mom. He's not complex at all, he's considered a main character when they don't even show his actual face until (I believe) the third season! He's just there to be there, I consider Asula the real antagonist, he's more like a minor one. Not only is he just a one dimensional antagonist, but he's done unforgivable things, like scarring his own son for speaking out in a war meeting! I know that's considered 'pure evil' and all that, but I think it's more stupid then pure evil. He basically forced Zuko to leave the Fire Nation until he found the avatar, and Zuko tried to please him. The good news is, Zuko learned by the third season that it wasn't worth it to please his father in the end, the real father to him was Iroh. Sadly, Azula did not learn in time, she tried to please her father to the end, and lost her sanity in the process. I feel Fire Lord Ozai got off too easy. He looses his bending, and he's locked up. What type of punishment is that? Azula didn't do nearly as much as he did and she lost her entire mind! Ozai is the reason his family is such a GIANT MESS! His wife was banished, BECAUSE OF HIM, his son hates him and will never be on his side again, BECAUSE OF HIM, his daughter is insane, BECAUSE OF HIM. In my opinion, he is BY FAR, the worst character in Avatar.
