"Though I like who they cast for Suki she was one of the ones when thinking about it I kind of went "you know, I could see them casting a not-Asain as her because of her red hair and her eyes", it was just something that I could see them doing and then pointing to the show and going "no, for realsies, look at her.'"
Well, regarding the red hair...couldn't they use a wig or something? :P
But in all honesty, I see where you're coming from. ^__^
And yeah, the casting debacle was...well, I know it's going to leave a stain on Paramount for quite a while. 0.0. *Feels a bit sorry for them. Almost*
"I think of the Sokka/Katara dynamic as a contrast to the Zuko/Azula one. You have the same set up between the two pairs and two very different results pretty much based on parenting and culture. Sokka and Katara look out for each other while Zuko and Azula try to best and kill each other."
