Avatar the Last Airbender with Iroh and Bumi.
Darkwing Duck, who the audience knows is competent but everyone else treats him as a joke.
Ron Stoppable probably isn't as competent as Kim Possible but is much, much more capable than anyone else in the series when the chips are down.
That's 3, happy?

Hes good at what?He's not even a good warrior and even if he was he would still be a weak link.

>>93362109
It makes more sense that the character is just a goofy idiot who happens to be extremely competent than that the group just keeps him around for no reason at all.

Seriously? He single-handedly saves the day with his ideas on a regular basis.

It's a pretty common trope

Ed, Johnny Cage, Deadpool, Michelangelo, Wheelie, Pinkie Pie

I know there are tons of better examples than these but I'm too lazy and drunk to think of more, in any case it's a very common trope that the character seen as silly, aloof, stupid, lazy, carefree, naive, blah blah blah is actually either very good at what they do but it goes unnoticed by those around them, or they are somehow extremely strong or powerful or rise to the occasion or spot of hero or leader when not expected of them

And what else? Like, no seriously, I only a few of his ideas, and it's been a while since I've seen Avatar. The only other idea I can really remember failing was trying to map the tunnel of love.

This waste of page time. As if we don't know what's going to happen with her ending up being all powerful. It's getting old and always has been boring.

Why the fuck did you even come here, you newfaggy moralfag? No matter how much the mods are trying to make a normie haven out of this website in recent years, there are still better places to go if you faint at the sight of 34 and loli.
