    im taking this from isabelwhatx. isabelwhatx said that aang is childish and katara's motherly, and that the difference would compliment each other to be different. wouldn't zuko and katara's difference compliment them to be different?

    No, because Katara doesn't need to be angry. Zuko might need to be happier, but Katara wouldn't get anything out of the relationship. Katara would get playfulness out of Aang, and Aang would get a bit more maturity out of Katara. A Zutara relationship would only benefit one. Zuko would be something similar to a parasite.

    the fathers thing was mentioned because regardless of the different issues, zuko and katara both missed him. aang lost a lot, his drive for saving the world is sometime fogged up because of fear.
    1. Zuko did not miss his father in any way, shape, or form. Zuko missed his honor. He wanted his father to love him, but Zuko didn't love his father. Katara loved her father, and knew that he loved her. It was too VERY different types of father-figure absences. And Aang's drive isn't fogged up by fear, because his drive IS fear, with I think is justified. It's a bit scary to think that the Fire Nation rules everything. If he had a different type of drive, frankly, I would be a bit scared for his mental health.

    i still think he did miss his father at one time, which was the beginning of season 2, but only for two episodes. i think we're both right on the fear part. aang was driven by fear, but it was also fear that made him run away, and in the finale want to wait until after the comet to face the firelord.

    1. He never missed his father. There was nothing to miss. He never had any happy memories of his father. Just as Ursa obviously favored Zuko, Ozai obviously favored Azula.
    2. It was not fear that made him wait until after the comet, it was common sense. No one is stupid enough to face the most powerful fire bender on earth when their energy is amplified by 100 if they can avoid it.

    alright, im giving up about the father thing. just forget it. the comet thing was both fear and a tiny bit common sense. u're right about that, but in EIP, we saw how the person playing aang died at the end, and i think some of that really kinda gave aang a wake up call. we saw the fear in his eyes and when he was talking to katara, he mentioned the avatar state. maybe he was fearful of that?

    He had a right to be fearful. I'm not denying that he had fear. I'm sure he did, MOUNDS of it. It's a scary thing, knowing you might die. And, along with you dying, the rest of the world will as well.

    yeah, he was fearful, but so was a lot of people, and yet he was willing to wait.

    Because he thought there was nothing else to lose. They even admitted the only reason why they would want to wait for before the comet was because they wanted to make sure the Earth Kingdom didn't get overthrown. Now that it did, there was no reason to rush. It would've been stupid to try and beat the Fire Lord without mastering all four elements with all the time in the world.

    EDIT: Even if "Zutara", "Don't care - either is good", "what's shipping?", and "Lobster?" were to combine all of their votes they still wouldn't be able to beat Kataang. GO KATAANG

    Why is this war still ongoing? Why can't shippers live in peace now, especially in a time when fans need to stick together the most.

    If you're going to ship have fun; don't spend your time debating and arguing about fictional relationships, pointing out flaws in people's opinions, because that's essentially what you're doing: trying to change someone's mind.

    Sky diving, flying a jet, winning the superbowl. They're nothing compared to trying to change someone's opinion.

    It's all in good fun. There's nothing else to do anymore. Plus, it's a new war. It's which ship is BETTER, not which one will happen. A totally different way to argue. Debating about fictional relationships is what we do best.

    You say "it's all in good fun" now, but mark my words a few posts from now, a hotheaded, over-emotional shipper is going to come on and start flaming ships. Then those shippers are going to get offeneded and flame back. It's not the first time it's happened. In fact, I've lost count.

    If that happens, so be it. Then the people who lost their cool will get suspended or something and the intellectual arguement will go on. I'm not going to stop debating with others just because someone else might come in and act rude. We shouldn't let them ruin our fun.

    You lost me at intellectual argument.

    But go ahead and have your fun. Just remember my words of warning when the flamethrowers go off.

    *Acts confused* You just contradicted yourself. The best side ever is Kataang... So how could you mean Zutara? *Scratches head*
