Ahhh alright. Anywho, to end this silly "will he really give Katara up deal" the official Nick press release for season 3's official season order included "Aang, Katara and Sokka face the Fire Lord." Hmmmm... |

ok im not trying to be meen or anything, but i mean even though aang is the avatar, he's the ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD WHO CAN'T LOVE. sure, he HAS to save the world, but maybe theres some other feelings he has, fer a someone aka katara. i meen, aang KNOWS his first reponsbility is to be the avatar and save the world, and what not... but he can love, he has feelings and he is human., why should being the avatar stop him by feeling love? |

Maybe there is a way to have both. In every movie where a guy has to save the world he "gets the girl and saves the world". Then again, avatar is far from normal. Aang is in love Katara too much to simply give her up. Its going to break his little heart. Think what happened when only his pet was taken. Now substitute pet for "true love". If that in its self won't put him into the avatar state , nothing will. He has a hard decision to make. Maybe he'll find a way to get both, hopefully.
Long live Kataang!
AirNomad, I don't think that the other Avatars will steal her away or anything. Remember that Aang is their reincarnation, and that even if they are not Aang per say, they are all in one way the same person. By causing him pain they are also hurtin themselves. It's the same reason you would have trouble cutting your own hand off.
Besides it seems a little childish to simply remove her from him. It reminds me of a parent scolding thier child for not doing his homework by taking away his TV previliges. This is no way to teach anyone a lesson, that would simply anger him and make him want to be with her out of sheer spite.
Aang needs to come to the conclusion that it is simply better for the world as a whole if they were not together. The Avatar's life is filled with danger and peril, and it would be a lot easier for both of them if everytime something happened they didnth have such strong emotions towards one another. In the end, it will only result in pain.

No matter what any one says to Aang, he can't stop loving Katara. Love doesn't work that way. You can't just flip a switch and immediatley just not love someone. No matter if they get together or not Aang will still have feelings for her and still act the same way towards her. If she was ever in danger, he would still come to save her. We all must remeber that Aang is just a 12 year old boy, when its all boiled down. Asking a 12 year old to give up someone he loves for the sake of the world. Noble, but very hard. He's at the age where what he wants may inflect wether the world gets what it wants. We already saw that aang ran away because he wasn't going to get what he personally wanted, so who's to say that he'll take matters into his own hands to try and get what he wants again? I just think that he loves her too much to just forget her, no matter who's depending on what happens.

it's kind of hard to believe that a 12-year old kid knows what?? true love is and second, his feelings for Katarra??can and probably will??cloud his judgement about the choices he makes. Continuing with the Star Wars comparison, Anakin Skywalker killed just about all the Jedi, people who were supposed to be his family and friends, to protect the one he loves. Being the avatar Aang has the power to do something like that. Remember what he did to the Earth Kingdom base in "The Avatar State".

Sokka was older (more mature possibly), and Yue herself told Sokka that she needed to sacrifice herself. That had more of an impact on him. I doubt that Katara is going to stand by him (when he's with the guru) shouting "forget about me you fool, leave me!"

Wait, are oyu with me or agianst me on that second part?
And about the first part, I mean, he admits to loving her. No matter if he truly does know what love means, he thinks he does, and that's what matters in the end.

He can still care for her, and want to protect her, much like he does for Tpoh and Sokka, but he has to put those feelings of love behind him.?? Yes, he is a 12 year old boy and yes, that is a very difficult thing to do, but it is also a neccesary thing to do.?? It's the difference between getting what you want and doing the right thing.??
He is the Avatar, and has experienced countless lives, all which have contained love and it's loss.?? Somewhere buried inside lies the knowledge and wisdom that he needs in order to realise this.?? It's weither or not he can admit that truth to himslef that will determine his actions.

Buddhist monks aren't allowed to marry because marriage is a form of "an earthly desire" which monks are taught to avoid. But in Avatar's case the Air Nomads have to reproduce and continue their lineage somehow.

Well then the thing I read about them being ALLOWED to marry is false...And now that I think about it, so is Inuyasha. There's this character Miroku and he's a Buddhist monk yet he's going to get married.
As for the lineage thing, I think the monks in Avatar CAN get married, as angel10113 said. If they weren't, the airbenders would've died a long time ago...more than over a hundred years.
Would the writers really do this though? Have this Kataang thing 'going on' then abolish it cuz he can't be with her? Or are they trying to point us to a new ship with Aang? Or are they trying to make an internal battle happen with Aang?
