Yes, you're right; there was really nothing more they could do to emphasize Katara was very much her own person.
I had wondered to myself when reading complaints about "Katara as a prize," if all the development of Kataang in the previous 57 episodes could really be discounted by the last four episodes, which focused on the action/plot like it should have?
Well, I think it was that one scene in EIP that may have discounted Katara's agency for some, and it is a bit ridiculous. I mean, paint Aang out as an entitled little brat who pushed himself on Katara and then at the end of the show she's decided to go with him. Which...is a startling exageration of what actual happened.
