    Since most of us are simply waiting here for the rest of the series to air, we should do something constructive!

    How about this: There are two major shippings of Avatar: Kataang, and Zutara. Each account for roughly (dont flame me to death) half of the fandom. What happens when the finale airs? One of them will be picked to be canon. (BUT WHAT ABOUT ... SHH!) That means, that roughly (again, no flames needed) a whole half of the fandom will be dissatisfied. How can we solve this problem?

    My proposition: We should make a big list of fans, who agree that although one ship is canon, there should be an alternate ending, to please almost (i say almost because of the other random shippings) all (or a big chunk) of the fans. I think its a good idea. Who's with me? Unlike other series creators, I think that Bryke will listen to us if we get enough fans to agree that there should be some way to please most of us.

    Just think, isn't it better to finish this great series with two great endings that satisfy most of the fans that have spent such a long time watching it? Even if you are a rabid kataang fan or a crazy zutara fan, just respect the other side and make it so that both of you are happy in the end? Whadaya say? Peace?

    What we do: If and only if you want to join this proposition, put your name below, as well as maybe a brief reason that you want Bryke to please both sides of the fandom. Yes, you can put your opinion about this proposition below, but please be respectful. No shipping wars in here please. Just think of this as an opportunity for both major shippings to join together, and to both win.

    If you're stubborn (Kataang will win anyways! I don't care about stupid zutara/ Zutaras gonna win! I hate Kataang so much that I'll never help them), don't flame on this forum. Just leave, if you're too stubborn to join. Thanks.

    No. Unless you want us to wait several months for an ending to be rewritten.

    How long did we wait from COD to The Awakening? I think a little while's wait for an alternate ending is not unreasonable.

    Wait about money? They are limited by a budget. Each episode takes about 9 months and a million dollars.

    Are you serious? Are you asking us to get Bryke to make an alternate ending?

    People asked them to do the same thing after CoD after Zuko made his decision. There's a lot that goes into the process; storyboarding, writing, animating, voice recording, touch-ups. I'm not sure the order, and there is stuff in between. And like KingAtticus said, it costs a lot of money.

    Look.. Whatever ship happens, happens. It's not the end of the word. I know the opposite shippers will wank but they'll get over it. Hopefully. Bryke decided on whatever ship, and there's no way around that. Except maybe fanon wise.

    I doubt that the creators would do that.

    Then again, they did it for Evangelion... Maybe this could work.

    The kiss Zuko gives Mai didn't stop Zutara.

    It was winning in the Iowa caucus at the time.

    Hey, I didn't like the fact that Combustion Man got killed in WAT.

    Anybody want to sign my petition to have Bryke redo that episode?

    What happens, happens man.

    Just because you explode and lose an arm and fall off a cliffside doesn't mean you die.

    Yes. It could work. Bryan and Mike are nice. They'll listen, if we get enough people to do it. It makes sense. They probably want to end on a good note, which this will do. Please people, just consider it. Even if this doesn't work, at least we tried.

    You know. With all this shipping, (which I do not really care about...I am neutral), how funny would it be for the creators to not even give an ending of the romance? Like they just completely left it out? I would laugh so hard...

    There is no way this could possibly work, and I hope that roughly 100% of the fandom isn't all shippers. And I think we should just let them tell the story that they want to tell, it hasn't been up to us how the story goes so why should it be now?

    I have an even better idea. Let's use the exact same method but against Nick but in the style of a protest. Instead of V masks, we could wear Aang masks. Oh, I can just imagine it now.

    Okay dude. If you don't think this will work, just don't post in here anymore. I'm just trying. That's all. If it happened for Evangelion, then possibly it can happen for Avatar. Who knows what'll happen? That's why I'm trying. Sorry if you don't think this'll work, but I'm going to give it my best shot regardless. Everyone (if anyone) who's with me, thanks for your help.
