Talk:Bolin/@comment-5129064-20120523064935

Ok, not sure anyone will read this, but I'm tired of people comparing Sokka and Bolin.

Few reasons why Bolin is NOT the "new Sokka" (this has nothing to do with opinion, but facts):

1) Sokka is sexist (ex: he didn't like the fact that girls [i.e., Kyoshi warriors] ambushed him and tied him up so easily) Bolin isn't sexist (ex: he gave flowers as a "thank you" to Korra [a girl who saved/rescued him])

2) Sokka is sarcastic (jokes, comments, etc.) Ex: "And this is Katara, my flying sister." Bolin hasn't made one sarcastic remark

3) Sokka LOVES his meat Bolin isn't all that crazy about meat (not that he hates it, he just doesn't go, "Ooh! Meat! Dinner!" like Sokka does)

4) Sokka is pretty serious (a little aloof in a way), and quite intelligent Bolin is quite immature for his age, and is shown to act like a little kid. He's not an idiot, but definitely not so intelligent (as compared to Sokka) Something I'd like to point out: Remember the "Cave of the Two Lovers" episode in A:TLA? Ok, remember the hippie dude who drove Sokka crazy (resulting in multiple face palms)? Well, if Bolin was there -- according to his personality -- he would've been having fun with the hippies and driving Sokka nuts too.

If Bolin existed at the same time in A:TLA, the differences between Sokka and Bolin would be so apparent that no one would think that they were the same. The only thing similar about these two is the fact that they're the comic relief. Bolin isn't supposed to be the "new Sokka" like many people believe -- he's his own person, and not everyone can be a Sokka.

I love both Sokka and Bolin; they're both funny and unique in their own way!
