    I don't know how many times this has been brought up before in this or other threads but I believe that the only reason that Aang and Katara wouldn't end up together is simply because Aang has to master the Avatar State to beat Ozai. However, that brings up the question of if Roku mastered the state why did he have a family?

    LOL

    how often the unenlightened see it everything in veils, but only the enlightened can see a clearer perspective of what the words mean

    taking things out of one's mind is not the same thing as giving it up from one's life

    Debate and post!



    Honestly, I truly believe that while Katara had developed a bit of "extra" feelings for him (as in, more than a mere friend/"little brother") and might have enjoyed the kiss (albeit very surprising, clearly), in the end she'll probably end up with Zuko as the "powerful bender" she'll marry that that Fortune Teller had foretold to her. I mean, they did have their bonding moment last season, and they're such opposites yet compliment one another so well. She's light, he's (general) darkness. She's ever the optimist, he's a (general) pessimist. And they're both extremely powerful Benders in their own right and since Zuko's all about the respect pretty much, he'll really be all the more taken by Katara (besides also seeing a lot of his mother, Ursa, in her).

    To ME, anyway, it's just more "dramatic" and "unexpected" if the show was smart and took the less obvious route or the route that the die hard fans wish to have come to fruition (which is, Aang and Katara to end up together in the end of it all). She and Aang are too similar (both positive by nature and look on the bright side, etc), not to mention she's also too motherly towards him most of the time and worries FOR him as a "son" or "little brother" more often than not. And plus, Aang's a nomad by nature, whereas Katara would probably like to settle down after marriage and children are born, etc. I'm sure Aang would get restless and wish for more adventure and be free to roam wherever as his element does.

    So yeah. I truly hope that Katara ends up with Zuko at the series end if she HAS to be with someone at all, I mean.

    Its funny, because i ship them because they are mostly simialar, and what little differences they have compliment the other. I talked about it a little in my Blog response of a Kataang essay.

    You ship Katara and Aang? That's cool with me. When reading fics, though, if I bother to read a romance-focused one, anyhow, I go towards the Zutara stories. I find them more compelling.

    No i ship Zutara - I ship Zutara because the characters have similar personalities, and there small differences are complimented by the other. Also because it would raise interesting plot points, character developement and obstacles. My blog is against the Kataangers views on a relationship between Zuko and Katara being bad

    Ok, phew. LoL If I had to choose, I'm always gonna back Zutara. Again, I don't care if she's single or with someone by the end of it all. But what I can't stand are, like you said, those who vehemently turn down any/all prospect and possibilities of them being together. Just because Aang's been in love with Katara practically since day one and at times it seems like she's attracted to him, as well, it isn't a guarantee that, "Hey! They're gonna marry one another at the end!" For all we know, the kiss from chapter 11 could have been the first/last kiss Aang will ever get/give to Katara and was just done to appease the hardcore Kataang supporters, because in the end she might just choose Zuko over him or no one at all.

    And if zutarians continue to live in denial they'll consider the Chibis special the main show and the 25 min episode as the spin-off!!! HA HA HA HA!!!

    srsly whats with all these F*ckT*rds claiming the chibi shorts is proof. ITS NOT EVEN A FRIGGIN PART OF THE REAL STORY. Next thing your gonna say is that they all go to school and that aang will live in the swamp. " Use yo brain fool! " Book of Mr t 13:24

    some Zutarians are cool

    they state they prefer Zutara, but also state that most evidence in the series seem to favor Kataang; some even saying that the likelihood is that kataang will happen

    some Zutarians are not cool

    they state that there is no "possible" evidence of Kataang at all, and kataangers are delusional, than they use "evidence" that are more superficial than ones used by kataangers, but claim they are proofs of Zutara; some even seeing Mai as a temporary object, and that zuko never had any feelings for her); and there a few that want Aang to "suffer" some extremes even go as far as using non-episodes stuff as proofs of evidence

    some kataangers are cool

    they state that chances are higher that Kataang will happen, but there is still a small chance(most see it as very small, but at least they see there is some chance)that Zutara could happen

    some Kataangers are not cool

    they state that there is as much chance that tomorrow the sun will become an ice ball as there is that Zuko and Katara will get together, and some say that evidences of Kataang are 100% proof instead of saying that the evidence show a very high likelihood that Kataang will happen

    Neutrals simply see it as higher probabilities that kataang will happen, and only a small chance(from what the show has shown so far)that Zutara would happen; but without a true preference of one over the other(they generally seem to be kataangers but only because they go with what is more likely, but it still might end up not being the case)and most are cool

    That interview isn't discussing Zutara vs Kataang at all when they say that. He's talking about how betrayed the fan base felt by Zuko at the end of season 2, not how much the fan base wants him to be with katara...

    I'm almost starting to think the series will end with neither Kataang or Zutara. It'll end like Ranma 1/2 did and leave it open. I HATE THAT.


    The Avatar Magazine said Katara would be with Aang or Zuko by the end of the season.
    I don't think they mean it MUST be either or. I think they are being smart and pushing the shipping war. I seriously doubt they can make a claim like that, because that pretty much seals it for kataang. I don't see zutara happening, and the rest of the anticipation would go away if it was completely confirmed...or are kataang fans about to admit zutara still has a chance? lol!

    from part 1 of interview

    RM: I have never seen shipping take on a life of its own as I have with the fans of Avatar. What do you think of all this?

    BK: I think it's important to note one thing I have heard from the internet is that some fans have the idea we've put shipping into the show because they've asked for it...requested it. This is totally not the case. Mike and I like to do melodrama stuff and we wanted that in there. Not that it's all cheesy, but we wanted that from the get-go. Five years ago when we were developing this.

    MDD: ****Yeah, Aang-Katara, that romance. Some stuff developed along the way, and we're glad some fans are more receptive to that element of the show, but it was in the DNA of the thing from the start.****

    BK: I remember until mid-way through first season I never even knew what shipping was, and then suddenly on the internet...

    MDD: Suddenly on the internet you had writing about shipping and I was like, "What is this?" What is this phenomenon about?

    BK: Yeah. I was all like "they're shipping love to each other"?

    MDD: (laughter) -----------------------

    from 5 years ago they already decided the outcome, they might do minor changes and maybe even medium changes, but not major changes(Katara, Aang and Zuko for sure, with Sokka and Toph being either medium or major elements of the original outline)

    k, let me summarize...

    Someone said the creators have already told Zutarians that zutara is impossible and they just need to take their medicine.

    I posted saying I seriously doubt M&B would say that to their fan base.

    You replied with the link to the interview.

    I replied saying yes, they say that sometimes fans need to take their medicine, but it was in reference to Zuko's betrayal, not Zutara vs Kataang.

    I was saying the medicine quote for my own paragraph, paraphrasing from what the creators said. I posted the link to the interview to show where I got the phrase from. That was Mike (or Brian's) own opinion for stories in general. I never stated the creators said Zutara was impossible, but I have seen some people saying that the creators said on a Season 1 DVD commentary, (paraphrasing) "Zutara? You'd have a better chance of Momo/Appa."
