Now that Avatar is on Netflix in the US I get to enjoy all these gags again surrounding Toph’s blindness. It honestly impressed me how it was seriously humorous they were able to make these punchlines without it feeling jarring or downright off putting basing humor around someone’s visual disability.
However, they pulled it off so amazingly well. Looking forward to taking a trip down memory lane.
it’s so funny because the fact that Toph is blind isn’t generally the punchline, the punchline usually is that everyone forgets that she is blind
you know… tophs comment about wan shi tongs library made me realize. theres probably braille books in there
