    You are severely ignoring the show if you say Mai doesn't understand Zuko.

    You must remember that they are canon Zutara, before you criticize them.

    And don't forget their super special awesome power to morph the plot to fit Zutara.

    There's that, although you can't deny the Guru said those words. However, the Guru isn't the end all be all key to the Avatar State. Because guess what: There's a little think called "Escape from the Spirit World: Avatar Yangchen." If Yangchen speaks differently from the Guru, then who's right?

    Actually no, Aang isn't allowed to love so he can't have Katara, but he can meet some sirbender girl in the future, still he's not allowed to love because he can't have Katara, so he'll just get with Toph who likes Sokka, who likes Suki who likes Sokka and hasn't been shown to like Toph, just like Katara has never been shown to like Aang, especially not in The Headband. The Headband is nothing but proof of Zootara.

    Oh, you're talking about Zutara Evidence girl.

    Seriously, I love how Zutarians use the Avatar State Defense, and at the same time ship Taang or Aang with some plain chick in the future. Great logic Zutarians, Aang isn't allowed to love if it gets in the way of the real love that is Zuko and Katara.

    Here is how I view the major Kataang/Zutara arguments:

    The Avatar State:

    The fact is, this is the only thing that is standing in the way of Kataang. Zutara shippers claim that should Aang successfully open the 7th chakra, he will forget that he loves Katara, forget that he ever loved Katara, etc. Quite apart from how ridiculous that seems, there is also the entirely open matter of what it means to "let go" of attachment. To solve this unsolvable solution I suggest that we turn to the ultimate source of all wisdom (other than avatar) - Star Wars.

    Anyone who has watched the Star Wars movies is familiar with the fact that the jedi too seem to have a bit of a problem with "attachment to people" (what with it leading to the dark side and all). What not so many people are aware of is that the jedi do in fact find a solution to this problem in the series of novels that tell the story of what happens after "Return of the Jedi". Here is a direct quote from one of the novels:

    "That's what attachment is, isn't it? It's not loving somebody. It's not marrying somebody. It's not having kids. It's being where, if somthing gooes wrong, there's nothing left of you. It's being where, if the person you love dies, you start functioning like a droid that's been fitted with a restraining bolt".

    I think that this definition could easily apply to avatar. Letting go of attachment doesn't mean loving what you were attached to any the less. It means that if you have to make a choice between saving the person you love and saving the world, you have to be able to accept the pain of letting go of your love in order to save the world. After that, you can mourn the person you loved, but you have to be able to keep on living and get on with your life. You can feel the attachment, but you cannot allow it to have any hold over you.

    Once Aang realises that (as I imagine he will in "The Old Masters"), he'll be fine.

    For those who are curious, Luke Skywalker does indeed go on to marry and have kids. If Luke Skywalker can do it, why not Aang?

    And for any who doubt the inherent wisdom of Star Wars - I'll be waiting for you with a lightsaber.

    FAIL

    George Lucas, the man who wrote the actual chapters of the saga and set the Jedi parameters in place had nothing to do with writing those novels except signing off the ok to use the licence. Like Sozin's Comet, those are nothing more than published fanfics.

    However, if you show me one that Lucas himself wrote, I'll consider it. Until then, this point fails.

    Axrendale wrote:
    Aunt Wu's Predictions:

    Lets deal first with daveshanFromGMU's opinion on Aunt Wu's line: "I can see that he's a verypowerful bender". Later in the episode, Sokka says "...sometimes I forget whata powerful bender that kid is". There is an emphasis on the word "what", because it alters the sentence: if Sokka had simply said "I forgot that that kid was a powerful bender" that would have been different. As it is, the word "what " does the same thing to "bender" as the word "very" does; instead of simply confirming Aang as one of many powerful benders, it elevates Aang's power, AKA, a very powerful bender. Sorry if that was a bit confusing.

    There's also Aunt Wu's prediction that Aang "will have no love in his future". But by the end of the episode, we have Aunt Wu herself assuring us that people are free to "reshape their own destiny". If that isn't a blatantly obvious statement that what she said might not necessarily apply, I don't know what would have been. And let's not forget Jeong Jeong's revelations about destiny two episodes later. His musings on the subject are not quite as easy to decipher, but I think that it would be fairly close to think that he's basically saying "destiny is not absolute".

    Either way, it seems fairly obvious that by the end of "The Fortuneteller", Katara was considering Aang as potentially her "very powerful bender". As well as her unambiguously wonder-filled staring at Aang after he stops the lava, there is also the notable fact that it is in the episode immediatly after 114, "Bato of the Water Tribe", that she kisses Aang on the cheek for the first time.

    While we're on the subject of 114 and 115, there's also the symbology of Katara's betrothal necklace. As well as making a necklace and giving it to Katara, Aang also manages to give her a genuine betrothal necklace. If that isn't blatant symbology, I don't know what is.

    Did you ever think that "Reshaping your destiny" may have only been what Aang wanted to hear again? She's lied to the kid so he wouldn't wind up heartbroken once, why not a second time? Sorry, I'll go with the prediction that she made before she realized what she said would hurt his feelings.

    THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART! IF YOU ARE GOING TO RESPOND TO ANYTHING, RESPOND TO THIS: The "Very powerful bender" remark is more than Sokka's line at the end. The key to it is that nobody nor nothing else has been refered to as a "very powerful bender" in the series. Think about, how many people in AtLA would you say are very powerful benders and how much of a fill-in-the-blank adjective is it? So why hasn't "very powerful bender" been used for anything other than Katara's mystery future husband? That's why it's significant, that's why it's important, and that's why Aunt Wu's prediction for Katara was not about Aang.

    SOKKA'S COMMENT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT! IT WAS INCIDENTAL!

    How many times am I going to have to repeat this? I swear the instant Zuko gets called a very powerful bender, I am going to laugh my head off then come online and gloat that I was right.

    I've said this before and I'll say it again: WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT ROKU GAVE UP! Any discussion from either side is irrelevent and meaningless.

    Axrendale wrote:

    The Cave of Two Lovers:

    The fact is simple: Katara was the one who suggested the kiss. Any ambiguity over her reactions later can be attested to Aang's bumbling initial response. The Oma and Shu story is fairly close, but I'd say that it makes more sense as a metaphor of Kataang than Zutara. Instead of going through it myself I simply refer you to the relevant episode of Chaobunny's guide to Zutarian logic.

    She wanted to kiss him so they wouldn't die in there. That's not love.

    How is Oma and Shu more of Katara and Aang then Zuko and Katara? Two people, nations at war, cave lit by glow-in-the-dark rocks all seems to point to Zuko and Katara to me.

    Axrendale wrote:

    DoBS Kiss:

    The fact that Katara had a sad look on her face after the kiss is the only argument Zutara has got. And that Sad look is easily explained by the fact that a person who has just declared his love for her is about to go to what he admitted might be his death.

    Wow that is a good explanation. Seeing as you are so good at explanations, how about you explain why a girl who wears her emotions on her sleeves got kissed by the boy of her dreams and has gone five episodes without saying anything about it nor acting like she's nervous about it?

    Axrendale wrote:

    The Trailer:

    Saying that Katara was looking disgusted when she pulled away is definitely incorrect. If I were to put a name to the emotion she was displaying it would be horrified. Now why would Katara be horrifed at the prospect of kissing Aang? Whatever Zutarians might say, it is fairly clear that she enjoyed the DoBS kiss, so it cannot simply be that Aang is a bad kisser. Could she have developed feelings for Zuko? Nope, then she would have been looking guilty. Could it be that she just doesn't feel that way about him? If Katara hadn't figured it out after DoBS, then I'd be really suprised. Katara was shocked, so somthing about this kiss will be new. If she was simply resigning herself to telling Aang that she didn't like him she would be looking sad to break the news to her friend. I think that the only real explanation is the one kataangers have been shouting for months: she found out about what Aang thinkshe knows about the 7th chakra. As for the Katara/Zuko hug, I see nothing beyond what I see in every piece of Zutara evidence: Katara is going to forgive Zuko.

    WTF are you talking about? This:

    Looks like the face of someone who's thinking "OMG, something just happened that shouldn't have.

    Plus, where's the joy of being kissed by her true love? Suki didn't look like this when Sokka kissed her. She was shocked at first, but in the time this clip lasts, she was kissing him back.

    Face it, it shows it, Katara and Aang will never do it.

    I disagree with anyone who says Aang is ugly, at least in season three. And anyway, that's one of the things I like best about Kataang - it is not some shallow romance based on looks (AKA jetara), but is actually a genuine liking each other for who they are.

    I don't know what you are going for here. No one says this anymore. This was some garbage that people used back in season 1 when there really wasn't anything.

    The rest is just your opinion about the quality of the ships.

    EDIT: @Spacerac: If evidence is in your face, that means that the guru was serious and literal when he said "FORGOTTEN".

    Okay, let's get some things cleared up.

    The Star Wars reference:

    Who cares whether or not George Lucas decided to declare that that's what happens in SW? We're talking about avatar. All I was doing here was providing a great definition of "attachment" that would provide a great explanation for how Aang could open the 7th chakra and still be able to love Katara.

    The Fortuneteller references:

    You do realise that you're arguing about word choice? Plenty of people have called Aang a very powerful bender, they just haven't used those exact words. Aunt Wu wasn't reading words straight off Katara's palm, she saw somthing, and described it with the first words that came into her head that would tell Katara what she saw. The fact that many other people have said the same thing is the point, how they say it is irrelevant.

    And what evidence can you possibly come up with to suggest that Aunt Wu was lying to Aang? If you believe that, you might as well believe that the guru was lying to Aang, because there is an equal amount of evidence for both - none. And I notice that you refused to respond to the fact that Jeong Jeong also stated that destiny is not absolute.

    Avatar Roku references:

    If the best you can do is claim my theory is meaningless because we don't know for sure, then you need to work on your comebacks. Not only did the writers draw a paralell between Aang and Roku, Ta Min and Katara, they also showed us at the end a clear example of "letting go of your attachment" that perectly fits the definition I described before! You could at least point out why you think I'm wrong.

    Cave of two lovers reference:

    Well, at least this time you tried to explain why you think I'm wrong.

    Other than the fact that they hailed from peoples who were at war with eachother, there is absolutly nothing in the story to suggest Zutara.

    And sure, the writers just thought they would put Aang and Katara in a situation where the only way out was to kiss, have Katara suggest the kiss so they wouldn't die, and then forget all about it. The fact is, Katara had no idea that a kiss would make anything better - she herself admitted that it was a crazy idea. This suggests to me that before she died she simply wanted to do somthing...

    DOBS:

    Let me introduce you to the marvel that is known as Okham's razor, a marvelous way of choosing between several explanations of somthing, in which one simply chooses the first explanation that works and makes sense. Katara looked sad because her friend/boyfriend was about to head off into deadly danger, she did not discuss their first kiss because not only is she still quite confused about it, but the group is also still recovering from having pretty much all of the friends and family captured by the firnation and they are concentrating on their new plan. If I were Katara I would not want to distract Aang from learning firebending. Plus, there is also the fact that she may be wondering if the kiss was somthing like her own spur of the moment suggestion back in the cave of two lovers.

    Trailer:

    I don't think we'll ever agree on this. When I look at her face in that picture, I see no disgust, no "that shouldn't have happened". I see shock. Shock, and yes, maby a bit of horror. Once again, thankfully, the razor of Ockham slices swiftly and smoothly. If Katara is disgusted, why is this so? She has had no problem suggesting kisses, being kissed, and enjoying moments like the one in the Headband. There is no way to connect it with what we know now. If she is horrified however, a possible explanation presents itself: she has found out about what Aang thinks about the avatar state. You say Katara and Aang will never do it? Well I say Zuko and Katara will never do it, because despite all this so called "evidence" there is nothing to suggest that Katara will ever be romantically attracted to Zuko, and vice versa.

    The rest:

    Plenty of people keep bringing up that they like Zutara because they look better together. I thought I'd provide an opinion about that.

    In the final analysis Zuko and Katara have six episodes to make up, become friends, and fall in love. Oh yeah, and Katara needs to forget all about Aang.

    Kataang only needs to give Katara and Aang some breathing space to talk about the kiss and have Aang realise what attachment and letting go of it mean.

    Kataang is winning the race.

    I disagree, far more Zutara evidence has been inserted.

    You can't look at the obvious, you gotta see beyond what they want you to see.

    Watch BETWEEN the lines, and you'll see zutara everywhere.

    I swear I found Zutara evidence in my piece of pizza at lunch.
