Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender adaptation has yet to introduce Toph, but there are 10 cosplays from the franchise's dedicated fandom that prove the show needs to stick around long enough to introduce the legendary earthbender. Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 should bring in several new characters from the animated series, and its crucial that the show chooses these additions carefully.
The forefinger pointed in challenge in the first two images and the flex in the third are the perfect way to express Toph's competitive, confident personality. These traits are also the biggest reason Netflix needs to keep its Avatar: The Last Airbender adaptation going long enough to introduce Toph. She is the best character from the anime who hasn't been introduced yet, and this cosplay is a reminder of what a shame it would be if Toph didn't get a chance to appear in live-action.
This Toph cosplay shows how incredible her character could look in live-action with a few tweaks to her costume. The rocks sewed onto the hem of this outfit are the perfect way to express Toph's deep connection to earthbending, which, in many ways, is a defining part of her character.
Further, Toph is a goofy character who loves to procrastinate and play around, and that side of her is neatly expressed in this brief video. It might not be the most elaborate or intricately designed Toph costume, but this cosplay captures what the character is all about. This goofy cosplay is also a reminder of why Toph is such a beloved character in the fandom, making it even more important for Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender adaptation to get far enough to include her character.
There is a light-heartedness to the smirks and goofy faces made in this cosplay that fits Toph well, but it also projects a certain confidence that is key to her character as well. Toph is not a fool, but she's not afraid of anything, and these images depict that without losing the goofy side of the character. The balance between goofy and serious that Toph strikes is what makes her character so great, and it's another reason Netflix's Last Airbender adaptation needs her character.
