Back in 2018, Netflix announced working on the live-action adaptation of the famous series,Avatar: The Last Airbender. Given the devoted fandom it enjoys, many have been eyeing what Netflix would offer in the upcoming project. After a few years in the making, the streaming giant finally released its trailer.
With Gordon Cormier taking the lead role of Aang, the other cast includes Kiawentiio as Katara, Dallas Liu as Zuko, Ian Ousley as Sokka, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee as Iroh, Daniel Dae Kim as Fire Lord Ozai and Elizabeth Yu as Azula.
However, many eagle-eyed fans noticed that one of their favorite character, Toph Beifong is missing from the trailer (of about nearly 2 minutes). Despite her lack of eyesight, her strength is not to be underestimated. She is an independent girl who discovered metal bending all on her own. Thus, missing out on a powerful character like her left fans shocked.

She is one of the best characters in theAvatararc with a major reason involving her unique personality. Despite her blindness, her strength and fearless attitude make her stand out.
