^^Am I the only one who thinks that this whole thread is rather pointless. Season 3 is already storyboarded and written, so it doesn't really matter how much we complain or not. I'm not saying that I don't want to see more Toph -- she is cool and it would suck if they don't develop her more. For example, there needs to be SOME sort of conclusion between Toph and her parents. I don't think Yu and Xin Fu will come after her any more, but there needs to be some sort of resolution. I have faith in the writers though and trust that they will develop her, and all of the characters, more this season.

Personally the Blind Bandit is by far one of my most disliked episodes of the whole series. Now, I do like Toph's character. And she played a very pivotal role in The Awakening. Had she not overheard the captain of the other fire nation ship, they'd all be dead right now.
So what, she hasn't been getting a ton of lines lately, it happens, I wish they'd give Momo more screentime, but they don't. A lot of my favorite characters don't get tons of screentime, but that tends to be a part of their charm. Once a character is fully and over developed, they become a bit stale.
Heck, look to my siggy, they killed on of my favorite character's in FMA, but it was important to the show, if it is important to the show that Toph get's less screen time, so be it.

Well, I honestly liked the Gaang minus Toph... I thought she was just gonna be one of them one season or off screen characters. And frankly, I think she jinxed the shows animation quality. >_>
But hey! She an okay gal. I think she's cool and all. It's just.... Ya know. What I said above is all. >_>

I agree, Toph isn't getting alot of time but what can they do about it now? And well frankly you guys are judging this season a little fast... It's like ready the first two pages of a Harry Potter Book and saying they are putting enough Hagri d in it xD I think most of us have seen the first two an d possible up the the first four. We need to give it a little time... When they do to much an a charector I thhink it tkes away from the enjoyment. I don't really like Bella in the Twilight Book series, I know to much about her, she's kinda nasty to me Now that I look at it I am not a huge fan of Main charectors in books... I'd lkike to see more of Aangs past (Wow Random xD) I have been thinking crazy things latley... (Dun, dun, dun...) 1 Unexplored Air temple Remains (Western) Aang visted the Guru in the Eastern, found Teo in the Northern, and Went to the Southern which he was raised in... I think the Air benders might have a secret base somwhere xD (Told yah crazy!) I'd love to meet another Airbender, So blah... Airbenders are my fave. I liked in the Headband how Aang outsmarted the Teacher in History... "Is that a trick question? The Air Nomads had no army. The Fire Lord defeated them by ambush" Sorry if that's a little jumbled... But yah... I want Airbenders! Anyway... Toph rules... I would like to finish the thing with her parents... Those two guys are probably rotting in themetal box... (OR THE DISCOVERED METAL BENDING! Dun, dun, dun... That's a possiblilty... Toph trapping them in there could have made the learn it... Maybe she isn't the only on...)

Her parents don't deserve to have it finished. They're closed minded overprotective morons

Umm, there really isn't anything to save Toph from. Toph's character is perfectly fine. She gives a lot of the one-liners because that's what she does. She is an excellent fighter who contributes to the Gaang in her own way. No, she isn't uber developed. She doesn't need to be. Most of her development happened in season two. As for them only showing the "vunerable" side of her, I think that was needed. Many people were complaining about her being too powerful. No one is that strong. Each character has their weaknesses and we got to see some of Toph's. I personally LIKED seeing a softer side of Toph. I related to her a lot more after that. As for the rest of season three, mild spoiler but: They said that Toph and Katara will have another confrontation a la The Chase later on. And who said Toph wan't still blunt and a slob? She smacked Sokka in the face with her shoe sole! I trust the creators to do a good job with her. They have been so far.

I'm not talking about the Avatar. They were gonna put even more restraints on Toph. If they were half decent parents they'd realize that for 1 they really can't keep her there because how the hell are you gonna stop somone with the power Toph has from leaving a house THEY SAW HER TAKE DOWN ATLEAST 15 SKILLFULL EARTHBENDERS. I don't care what you'd do with your kid. Toph is like Chuck Norris on steroids,with magical powers

And I agree with you about Bella; I loved her in Twilight but the other two she just turned into a spineless, selfish, pain.

^ YES!!! People who agree with me about Twilight! (Please no spoilers from the third bk, haven't finished it yet) But oh my goodness do I agree! She was great in the first book, but in New Moon---what the heck?!?! What happened to her independence? She was just so pathetic.
And yes we're talking about Toph in season 2 (at the end of it at least) as well. Not just the third season. We understand the third season is just beginning.

I Liked Toph Best in the "Blind Bandit" It showed a softer side of her when she was with Aang...

I hope Toph doesn't die!
But getting back on topic, she did have her own sub-plot when she went to find her mother in Ba Sing Se and ended up getting kidnapped. However, there's not much significance to this since it was, more or less, an excuse to get her metal bending. Notice how the group, so far at least, hasn't even asked her what went on with her mother or how why she was found racing back to Ba Sing Se.
Stop ignoring Toph! Toph has a lot of potential as a character, and she's a favorite for a lot of people. She really should have a few more lines in the episodes. Heck, some of the best lines at the end of Book 2 came from her sarcastic remarks, but even that's been lost now.

*Nods* Not enopugh Toph... I mean You'd think they'd atleast ask but Toph kinda shoved herself away from the group... Shes solitary, sarcastic, and probably deep down has a crush on Sokka xD She's more a opf resource... I think she stays because of her freedom. (Possible Sokka) I mean you saw how 'excited' she was to get into Ba-Sing-Se xD
