Nickelodeon (ended 2008)
IMO:
I think as far as Mai is concerned, she has to really fight for Zuko if Maiko is going to survive. I can see two sides to Zuko's leave: either Zuko placed his feelings second to his more important commitments (helping Aang), or his feelings for Mai were never strong enough to compete with his prior commitments. If Zuko belongs with Mai, she will have to show him he is worth going after. This is Mai's test because everything prior has been given to her. Otherwise, Maiko's done in my eyes.
Katara and Aang are not a couple at this point in time. Katara has yet to verbalize what her feelings are for Aang. Until she actually says something, no one can say they are together. We can say they have shared "moments", but neither of the two have discussed their kiss or their relationship yet. Whatever the case maybe, I'm betting Katara does not want to distract Aang from his duties, and that being said, they will most likely leave our answer to the shipping question a mystery until the very end. Plus, spoiling the main pairing outcome before the end would kind of ruin part of the storyline.
I do have a question though. Anyone else wondering why Katara and Aang aren't acting a bit awkward around eachother? Maybe they both haven't been thinking about the kiss but still... wouldn't it leave for some weird, mixed feelings, especially since there was no closure? I'm not saying this from a Zutarian standpoint; I'm just wondering it in general.

and yes, right now Kataang is more likely because all the "open" evidence points toward Kataang, and in addition the Maizu ship has not been closed
but even thought there is only very few episodes left till the finale, if Mike and Bryan WANT ZUTARA TO HAPPEN, they have enough hidden "RAW" materials that can be used to Construct a good foundation for Zutara. and if they do that, I would support Zutara
the ones I feel sorry for is both Toph and Ty Lee.
Almost Everyone see them as the "failsafe" alternative if the "more obvious" ship doesn't happen. or don't want "the obvious ship" to happen
IF Suki has died or will die, than they want Sokka to be with Toph or Ty Lee
IF Kataang doesn't happen, than they want Aang to be with Toph or Ty Lee
IF People hate Mai, and Kataang happens, than they want Zuko to be with Toph or Ty Lee

I understand what you're saying, but I disagree. Not every Zutarian would consider Zutara a done deal if Zuko had kissed Katara. At least, I wouldn't. I'd be happy, but I wouldn't think that they'd stay together forever and ever. The Kataang kiss is somewhat ambiguous, because Katara seemed shocked, and not in a pleasant way. Not to say that she didn't want the kiss, more that she wasn't expecting it. You could put it down to everything that was happening at that moment (with the DoBS and all) but if Katara loved Aang as much as he loved her, then I wouldn't think that she'd be as shocked as she was when he kissed her. Given, it was kind of abrupt, but still.
I think in the series finale, Katara will kiss Aang, thus sealing Kataang in everyone's eyes. I'd like Zutara to happen because I like the idea of redemption and think that Zuko and Katara match, but if Kataang were to happen then I'd be happy because I have faith that Mike and Bryan will make the moment believable.

As a Kataang fan, I still think it makes more sense than Zutara.

Because I'll make sure your destiny ends, right then and there. Permanently. |
Zutara has no evidence going for it, and plenty against it. At least Taang doesn't have anything going against it other than Kataang itself.
As previously mentioned, Zutara fans are grasping at straws. Name me one thing supporting Zutara in the regular show outside of The Crossroads of Destiny (which to be honest, is all you have), and I'll be surprised.

I don't believe I would feel Zutara is a done deal if Zuko kissed Katara. However, I will stop myself before I say so because I have never seen a Zutara kiss, so I cannot confirm how I would react.
Once again, it all comes down to Katara's feelings on the subject. Yes, Katara was speechless, but Zutarian bias aside, I really don't know what to pick up from her reaction. She blushed, so she was most likely embaressed or caught up in a rush of emotion. She also seemed shocked. It can be interpreted several different ways, and I'm not going to say my interpretation is right. The creators left Katara and Aang without closure to hold off the main pairing of the show until the end. When the time is right, they will open up to each other about how they perceive the other.

I can see that Zutara has a chance of winning. Zuko needs someone who cares for him, like a mother! Katara being so kind and caring..makes her like a mom. and zuko and Katara have been through losing a mom and they might understand each other. Katara is mature to have zuko. Maby in the first few episodes of zuko joining might not Make Katara feel right. But maby if they have an episode together..like finding his mom,Katara might grow close to him.
Kataang also might happen. when that scene in DOBS between aang and Katara...Katara started explaining of how much aang changed. When aang kissed her she was trying to say something but the kiss just happened like that! The look at Katara's face looked sad...but then after that she looked worried like she didnt know what to do after aang kissed her...or she was worried about what aang said about not coming back. And Katara has known him since he was still learning water,earth,and fire.

Here's my take on the possibilities.
KATAANG ENDING
In the final battle, Aang finally faces off against Ozai. He realizes he must unlock the final charka, but he doesn't want to let go of Katara. But, as they grows, he comes to realize that letting go doesn't mean he has to stop loving her. So, after Aang saves the world from Ozai, his and Katara's relationship starts to grow. Eventually, they marry and have kids. In a bizarre spiritual incident, their kids are thrown through a transdimensional wormhole...
ZUTARA ENDING
In the final battle, Aang finally faces off against Ozai. He realizes he must unlock the final charka, but he doesn't want to let go of Katara. But, he realizes he has no choice and brings both to the conclusion that they can be friends and that's all. After Aang saves the world from Ozai, Katara begins to see more of Zuko, whom she's become rather close with, and a relationship slowly begins to blossom between them. Meanwhile, Aang realizes only too late that perhaps "letting go" didn't necessarily mean, "stop loving," but he's already lost his feelings for Katara. Upset, he seeks emotional comfort from Toph, and the relationship between them forms. Eventually, in the future, the Zutara and Taang kids become friends. One day, a weird cosmic thing happens and the Kataang kids fall out of the wormhole they fell through. There's shock all around when each explain who their parents are. They soon figure out what it was in each universe that caused who to marry whom, so now the Zutara and Taang kids must help to return the Kataang kids back to their own dimension.
How'd ya' like them apples!? XD

| I really want to see how Zuko redeems himself to Katara, and I do not mean this for Zutarian purposes. I would love to see them team up in the series finale. I hope Zuko and Katara take out Azula. I see that ending as only fitting; they've (Zuko and Katara) fought each other both finales beforehand. Why not team up the last time around? |
Amen. I hope that happens at the very least.

I deeply agree with both WaterLily16 and momothelemur's comments. Therefore, I have nothing to argue since the aforementioned did it eloquently. ^_^

Sorry friend but I have to disagree. Although I am not that into the show like I used to be(dang, I got reported like so many times for saying I ship kataang on this board). Anywayz, Aang's maturity hasn't hit the 112 mark yet, so it would be reasonable for Kataang to happen. Zutara doesn't make sense. You don't have any proof. And if Katara does die, how will any shipping happen at all? ... also, age isn't a huge obstacle. Quite a few adults I know are ten years apart age wise, and I find it offensive for someone to think that the power of love would be hindered by... age. But it's just a show so yeaa. |
