    do you know what zutara is????
    zutara (noun) (zoo-tar-uh)
    1. A portmanteau of the words Zuko and Katara.
    2. A relationship between the Avatar: The Last Airbender characters Zuko and Katara invented by fans of the show, spurred on by the creators.
    Fixed

    Cause yes, zutara may have been created by the fanbase, but Bryke did not help matters with all the hinty-type things we zutarians enjoy using as evidence. They spurred us on! Zutara would not be zutara without their teasing and baiting, lol.

    Zutara has no logic nor strong fundamentals.

    Romeo and Juliet? Phoebus and Esmerelda? Kagome and InuYasha? Sesshomoru and Kagura? Elizabeth and Darcy?

    Were all these relationships illogical? I don't think so. Zutara would only be illogical if they truly hated each other after getting to know each other, yet still fell in love. That would be weird. But like all the above and all the other enemies-to-lovers couples - they hated at first, then got to know each other and fell in love. What's illogical about that?

    Because we all know Zuko and Katara will at least become friends soon. So is they're relationship that illogical? Or is it just illogical because it threatens Katara and Aang getting together?

    as far as i can tell most of those couples liked each other from the start, and clearly zutara doesnt show that. but they are also a completely different story from avatar. this is why i dislike zutara, you somehow find facts that arent even related to avatar to use them to promote yourside. like the whole fire/water or yin/yang doesnt really prove that they will get together at all.

    The yin/yang bit: No creditable supporter of Zuzueen uses that stuff for anything but fluff. As tomtitan pointed out, it makes for great fan fart and AMV's, but as evidence, we go with more logical stuff. We all know that Mike and Bryan love using parallels and opposites in the series.

    The couples bit: All couples also had romantic attractions towards each other since the first episode that they met. We all agree that Aang first fell in love with Katara during "The Fortuneteller." Katara, however, had yet to even hint at romantic intrest in Aang until "The Headband." Going by the couples rule, both fail. It's why I stopped bringing up the couples argument. I had a talk about it with someone on DA and we both realised that the couples pattern disproves both.

    And Katara has shown romantic interest in Zuko, and vice versa...?

    This Zutara thing would be a whole 'nother story if Katara had blushed as she looked back at Zuko while walking through the tunnel with Aang in CoD. But she had not, so Zutara is back at square one.

    Square zero: enemies
    Square one: become friends
    Square two: find interest in eachother
    Square three: fall in love

    And Sugar Toes would be one thing if the guru hadn't said FORGOTTEN. So, ultimately, Katara and Aang will wind up at said square 1.

    Side note: I just thought of something. We've all found ways to disprove and counter just about every argument that the other side has thrown. Also, recently, Spacerac informed me that it was actually one of the top writers or designers or something titled guys who said that Katara would be with either Aang or Zuko, not Mike or Bryan. Well, doesn't this mean that there's a possibility that she'll end up with neither? If all pairings were decided long before the series began, they had no idea that this stuff would take off. What if she's going to end up with Haru?

    Here's my proof of zutara:

    Jake and rose from American dragon jake long

    Jake Long : played by Dante basco

    Rose: played by Mae Whitman.

    Honest facts.

    These two characters are mortal enemies, but fall in love.

    see? ZUTARA!

    This is my theory on this debate:
    There are only 10 episodes left.Kataang has some history,while Zutara only has hints.Despite the fact that Zutara may be the most dramatic romance,Kataang seems more likely.
    So,Zutarians,give me any supporting arguements for your ship and Ill try to explain it.

    pretty sure thats a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SHOW! jeez that doesn't show that they will wind up together, just that they have worked together before. and thank you for that because it just clearly demonstrates the logic of zutara...

    Umm, if you honestly believe that is evidence someone is using to support zutara......well then, I've got nothing. Seriously, you think most zutarians even consider things like that when supporting their ship? Its just a fun fact. We like to be able to both enjoy the serious side and laugh at the little coincidental things in our ship. Learn to laugh at your ship - it makes it more fun ^_^

    Besides, its pretty obvious DragnUp is not a hard-core zutarian, if you know what I'm saying. He likes to use the "fake" evidence - the little coincidental things.

    everyone should stop posting beliefs that their ship is gonna happen. cause once the finale is over. one of the groups is gonna feel really stupid.

    then were gonna have a "post-shipping war"
