all right............
I want to state first of all I am not a Kataanger per say
I simply try to look at things from every perspective and I look for what is best for each character
I will now state the main reasonable points that are used for why Katara is better off with Aang, along with defending points against it stated by supporters of Zutara; than I will state some of the reasonable points that are used in favor of Zuko
argument against Aang with Katara, Aang is a monk, thus he should not be attached to Katara---- let's "pretend" that the monks of THE AVATAR WORLD are like the Buddhist monks of our world, and all monks are bachelor and celibate first the creators have stated that ALL AIR PEOPLE are airbenders, they didn't say most, nor did they say that some air people had no bending powers; they said ALL air people have bending power second, airbender people must be having children in order for the airbenders to continue living for many centuries(look how many statues of past avatars were in the south temple in book 1 episode ) everything seems to point out to the fact that all young air people were sent in their youth to the temples to be trained, and most probably after they finish training, they return to live outside of the temples, and a lot if not all the airbenderds that decided to be teachers in the temples seem to return to the temples to teach after they are older than 35, but for the purpose of the thinking that monks are bachelors and celibate, let's "pretend" that the monks are airbenders who decide to stay at the temples when they reach 16, and not to marry nor have sex WHAT MAKES EVERYONE ASSUME THAT AANG WOULD HAVE CHOSEN TO BE A MONK? if it had not been for Sozin Aang would have been told he was an avatar when he was 16(the minimum age for the 4 nations people to be engaged and married as demonstrated by Yue) at 16 he would have to leave the temple, and gone most probably to the north water tribe to be taught by a waterbender at about 18 or 19, he would have gone to an earthbender, maybe Bumi(BTW Buhmi in indian language means earth element) at about 20 to 22, he would have gone to a firebender(maybe Kuzon? ) after that he would have gone to a guru or priest to learn to control the avatar state after he had finished that, we have to remember that he would have the responsibility of the avatar duties. And "pretending" that monks are celibate and bachelors for life, Aang would have to chose either being a monk, or not be a monk and get married and form a family---
argument against Kataang, she was sad after the kiss and she didn't want to hurt Aang---
before the kiss all body language seems to indicate that she felt attraction toward Aang, the way she moved her arm, tone of voice, way she parted her hair, also Aang talked about fact that both him and Katara had to go risk their life, so she knew it might be the last time they saw each other, it will be silly not to expect her to be sad, and there is no positive indicator that shows she didn't want to hurt him, and she answered his kiss, she didn't back off---
higher chances are that she was sad about the possibility that the kiss could have been the first, only and last real kiss between them as EITHER one could die(not just Aang, there was also a chance of her dying)---
she probably would want to ponder during 312 and/or 313 if she definitely wants to be with Aang, the kiss probably was about the fact that both of them care about each other, and that Aang always saw Katara as this wonderful and pretty lady, and Katara is starting to see Aang as someone who is becoming a man, and admiring him for it.----
argument against Kataang, Aang is too young---
we also have to remember that no one should think of them as marrying ASAP, Aang has to be at least 16 before he is allowed to get married(when she is 18 )----
and in the case of Zutara, they would have to wait 2 years to be able to officially be engaged, and in the case of Maiko(or maizu as the creators call it) officially they have to wait till Mai reaches her next birthday(she is 15)----
so if they get together(any of the ships), we talking about them being simply BF and GF, not engaged---
Katara loves Aang in a motherly way---
she acts motherly toward everyone, including her brother who is OLDER than her, is her way of acting toward everyone, it doesn't necessarily reflect how she feels in her heart toward Aang, and chances are extremely high she would act same way toward Zuko if he was part of the group, so Zutarians would kill off what they support with the same argument they use against Kataang
points (that are reasonable) of why Zuko and Katara would work--
both lost their mother, and that draws them together---
true, but Aang also lost BOTH of his parents and Gyatso, so Aang has just as strong a case as Zuko--
Zuko is a powerful bender and the fortune seller said she would marry one---
true, but Aang is also a powerful bender, so in this case he is just as likely as Zuko---
Zuko and Katara have connected during the time she offered to heal his scar---
true, but Aang and Katara have connected, not just once, but many times, and she knows Aang better than Zuko, so right now things are more in favor of Aang
there are countless other arguments in favor of Zuko, but all of them involve the emotions of the poster---
he is cuter- you think, but what matter is what Katara thinks(or the creators say she thinks), not you---
Aang is more boring, Zuko would be more exciting- is what you want, but what matter is what Katara wants(or the creators say she wants), not you---
Aang is bald again, Zuko has hair- is what you think- but what matter is if Katara likes bald or not(or the creators say she likes), not you---
argument against Zuko, he loves Mai---
Everything seems to indicate this, and he doesn't write he is breaking off with her, things indicate he just wrote he was leaving the FN and joining Aang(not seeking Katara, joining Aang)and this even if it the only one used, it is a very strong case against Zutara---
most arguments in favor of Kataang are heavily in favor of Aang, and sometimes not present for Zutara; all arguments against Kataang can be debated against, or are based on emotional arguments, and in some cases can be used against Zutara also; the few reasonable arguments in favor of Zutara have just as a strong or sometimes stronger base in favor of Kataang
so we have no choice but accept that chances as of right now are leaning heavily in favor of Katara choosing Aang, and not Zuko
