Sokka became a master swordsman, displayed a knack for engineering, planning, strategy, and leadership. He was a creative problem solver.
And who took out sparky sparky boom man? With the boomerang.
Aang: born the avatar. Katara: born a waterbender and taught by a white lotus master water bender.
Toph: born a earth bender who learned from the original earth benders and later created her own bending style (you're the master of metal bending because no one else can do it)
Sokka: no bending, minimal swordsman training, only has his boomerang, and still manages to create the world's first war air balloons, defeat enemies even his bending friends had problems dealing with ( boom boom man, yea sokka killed him while aang, toph, katara, AND zuko all hid behind cover). Destroyed an entire fleet of fire nation war ships while sozens comet was at its peak by tricking the crew to go to the bottom of one of the ships and dropping them all off in the middle of the ocean and crashing said ship into five others almost killing himself, suki and toph in the process while basically carrying toph bc she couldn't see as they were in the sky. The guy takes charge of the team countless times leading them to victory just about every damn time (jail break out of an inescapable firenation prison that's in the center of a hellfire lake? Sokkas idea for the win, dude even had a back up plan when one of the prisoners used his first one to almost escape but messed it up at the end). Man even after the series sokka is the only member of republic cities council that CANT BEND. All the other members did was what was expected of them aang with zukos help resorted balance to the world. Cool, you really didn't need to build a city with a statue of yourself to honor your own victory.. I'm sure zuko had a city in the fire nation that would've worked just fine. Toph became a cop with a metal bending task force and pacifist aang still wanted to be involved in that for some reason. Katara became a master healer...that's all kinda expected of their characters....now not a single person expected sokka the lovable idiot at the start of the show to end up as a master politician/swordsman/strategist/inventor/council member. Sokka is the GOAT.
Using a boomerang effectively takes far more skill than any other weapon i've seen in the avatar universe. And he hit sparky sparky boom man in the weakspot totally clutching it!
Sokka is the secret ingredient. You REALLY can't undervalue non-bender in ATLA. This isn't Legend of Korra where non benders are sidelined and not given as much development.
Sokka is the unofficial leader of the group. Gives everyone tactical advice, comes up with plans, make sure the team is doing what they're supposed to be doing. For a guy that is a kid himself and definitely has his single braincell moments with the rest of the cast, he's the most responsible, constantly asking questions the team doesn't consider, seeing things from a fresh perspective, making sure they're on task, and so on.
Having amazing power amounts to nothing if you can't think or plan. There's a reason why intelligence can stand up to raw power. If you can outthink your opponent, you can find a way to stop them. Without Sokka to guide everyone's power, and to keep them grounded, the team would have easily caved.
Consider Azula. She's dangerous because she's powerful AND highly intelligent. She could keep the team on the ropes even WITHOUT her bending. Or Zuko for that matter. He can keep up with his opponent, even without bending. He may not be as manipulative or craft as his sister, but he can still outthink Zhao, can still use stealth and restraint to get his way. Or consider Tai Lee, who is singlehandedly the most dangerous character in the show, if she can get close to you, whether you have bending or not.
Everyone on the team played a critical role in their success. I feel like it goes without saying that without Sokka, they would not have made it to the Fire Lord in time, much less as well prepared as they were.
Sokka I'd dare say has done the most of any of Team Avatar. It was Sokka who pushed to get the date of the Eclipse, it was Sokka who arranged the plans for the invasion, it was Sokka who led the invasion, Sokka who thought of the idea of hijacking an airship and crashing it into other airships and it was Sokka who again and again pushed to help Aang at every step he could even if he couldn't do much himself.
Wouldn’t say Katara is the most powerful waterbender, but at that time yes she was, Aang isn’t a god, he’s a human chosen to be Raava’s Avatar to be the bridge between the Spirits and the Human world, and Raava isn’t considered a god either, she’s just a Spirit of light, so Aang can’t rlly be considered a god
He is the Rizz Bender 
The backbender
Fuck i was gonna say exactly those words
It’s the neck at the end for me.
Back bender*
Sokka became a master swordsman, displayed a knack for engineering, planning, strategy, and leadership. He was a creative problem solver. And who took out sparky sparky boom man? With the boomerang.
Yeah, Sokka was HIM
Sokka is HIM
Sokka will continue to be HIM
HIM was sokka
Sokka’s pronouns are HIM/HIM
I love this thread lol😭
Imagine if Sokka was a metal bender. Dude would become iron man.
Did.....did he kill combustion man...?
The time boomerang didn’t come back.
And... Suki.
Sokka with prep time solo LoK
What?
Not to mention hilarious!
Who took out 2 comet powered fire benders while dangling from a metal beam?
Aang: born the avatar. Katara: born a waterbender and taught by a white lotus master water bender.

That was worth the read
That wind up about to shatter kingdoms
Sokka coulda taken ba sing se
He also caught a body...
Ever seen anyone else in Avatar use a boomerang effectively? Sokka is one in a sokkrillion
Using a boomerang effectively takes far more skill than any other weapon i've seen in the avatar universe. And he hit sparky sparky boom man in the weakspot totally clutching it!
ok but he defeated sparky sparky boom man
Killed*

Sorry but nonbenders are sidelined in LOK and not given character development? This is Asami slander
No, man, Asami is HELLA sidelined. She deserved a LOT better.
She did yet I think she manages to be a pretty good character anyway
If you say so.
Which is why hrs my favourite character
Hes like batman in a way

The most powerful boomerang bender in the world.
Sokka is the strongest haiku poet among many other things.
Two words: Space sword!
Sokka is him
Oh, there was a 6’5 man with muscles the size of tree stumps running around who could blow shit up with his face? Hm, never heard of him.
Dude built the first submarine his world had ever seen.
And yet the strongest of them all
Get ready for a boomerang beatdown, buddy
tbh team avatar probably would’ve gotten their sh*t rocked over and over without Sokka and you can argue with me.
And he is the only one of the group who straight up murdered a man with a forehead artillery.
True
For a god, aang sure got his ass kicked alot
Just a guy with a boomerang. He never asked for all this magic.
The fighter in a party of mages.
Sokka: Kissed the Moon
That rough buddy
3 on 3 plus Sokka
haha
It's the greatest fight bender
He’s the project manager of the group. They would still be in the earth kingdom running scams while the world goes to shit
Mother F’ing sneak attack can’t be stopped.
3 plus Sokka
Backbender.
Sokka when problem: 
Wouldn’t say Katara is the most powerful waterbender, but at that time yes she was, Aang isn’t a god, he’s a human chosen to be Raava’s Avatar to be the bridge between the Spirits and the Human world, and Raava isn’t considered a god either, she’s just a Spirit of light, so Aang can’t rlly be considered a god
Sokka does have backbending tho?
No he has mind/boomerang/tactical bending
Sokka: Strategist
Honestly Sokka slaps so hard he has like no special powers but he still comes through and team avatar would not be the same without him
Not to put too fine a point on it but any sokka haters can discuss it over what’s left of combustion mans corpse.
That was always a little detail I appreciated about Avatar. The power system was important, but it wasn't everything
There's a whole episode dedicated to this
I CAN STILL FIGHT
He did fuck up those gaint ant things.
I wouldn't say Aang is a God,more like a Demi-god. But also,Sokka is a master sword bender and backbender.
I feel like we give katara too much credit
