I love Zutara, but I would've loved for it to end in this way, kinda. I don't need the kiss, or the part where they get together, all I wanted was just a sweet moment between the two, whether it be just a friendship or a romantic moment. Just a sweet little moment about them acknowledging each other as friends, or something. I don't need it to be canon, but I would've loved for it to have some sort of ending moment just between the two. They must be closer friends after Zuko risked his life to save her, I would've loved for them to just be with each other, sitting and talking and for Katara to say thanks for saving her life, and Zuko to say it was no problem. Or for her to request to heal his scar, but him denying it. _Something_.
If that had happened, and Zuko had denied Katara healing his scar, it would demonstrate acceptance. Great symbolism. . .the scar may have been from his abusive father, but it was the scar that went in tandem with his banishment, and put him on the right path to success. . .I always wondered why he didn't just heal his scar his entire life, surely he had oppertunities. Maybe he kept it as a reminder of the past mistakes the Fire Nation has made, and a reminder of how his banishment shaped who he was as a person: a benevolent leader who changed the tides for the betterment of the world. I would enjoy a romance between Zuko and Katara, but even just a moment like that between friends. . .the series is already incredible, but that would just add to it and bring both of their character arcs full circle.
The thing I love Zutara is that they have really strong bond and a deep connection. They are both intellegent, for the start. And they understand each other. They respect each other, really much. And Katara was the first one to try to understand him or to help him. The first one that believed in him. (except for Iroh, of course) And she was his "enemy" in that time. I don't mean it romantically (but i ship them, whoops) but they had the deepest relationship. You could see the silent help with the body language that only they could understand. They supported each other, knew each other and understood each other. Zuko saw Katara's one of the best and the worst times. And Katara did too. Katara supported Zuko with his scar and his mother. Zuko did the same to Katara with the revenge and mother thing. I just love it so much.
@Erin Miranda....You are right.....@Nehir Andirin....This comment is perfect and ideal to the reasons why I love Zutara....Thank u soo much for giving this comment....
This is honestly so much better than the original ending. Dont get me wrong, I love ATLA, but from the beginning it was pretty obvious that Katara and Aang were gonna end up together. Their love was very "hollywood", where the champion always gets the girl. Call me a fangirl, but I think that Zutara would have probably been the best plot twist ever. I think it wouldve completely thrown the audience back, and in general brought a different prediction. I believe the creators' mistake was that when they introduced their idea to Nickelodeon, they had the entire show planned out. Professionally that was great, but they should have asked for more flexibility before actually writing the good copy. I recently watched a documentary about the creation of ATLA, and Zutara was mentioned a couple of times. I feel like they wanted to make it happen, but like I mentioned before, they did not have enough flexibility and the "hollywood" romance was their main objective. That is the only flaw in ATLA, and if Zutara had happened, it would have made the show even better than it already is.
Isa F-O Actually Zutara was canon, but the producers thought it should have been a "hero gets the girl" thing, and changed it last minute. At least, that's what I read. I totally agree with you though
Kay Smee I read that that thing about Zutara being planned originally was fake and made up by Nickelodeon for their "Avatar extras" thing to excite viewers or something. To the original post, I totally agree that Kataang getting together instead of Zutara was the only flaw in AtLA, but from I've seen the creators still seem to hate the idea. They outright made fun of ZK shippers on one occasion.
I just did some research and you are right, but the creators did toy with the idea earlier in the series, and now and then toyed with it in some episodes.
+Isa F-O I also watched a documentary on the creation of ATLA and it didn't seem like they ever planned for Zutara. It seemed as if Kataang was planned right from the get go. And Bryke has made statements such as, "Their romance is the DNA of the series". So they were totally into Kataang. Also, Bryke did SOMEWHAT bend the show for the viewers. Remember how we all hated The Great Divide and Bryke mocked it in the Ember Island Players? So they are attuned to us a bit...
+Kay Smee Smithers Actually, Kataang was planned right from the start. There is this ridiculous extras thing run by Nickolodeon, and people instantly believe whatever it says is cannon. However, it has been proven wrong in the past. For example, the famous "Zuko was the original love interest for Katara". Bryke have always said they had a soft spot, or favored a relationship between Aang and Katara. Hell, they even gave them their own theme. They never said they planned Zutara, neither did the other writers. Zutara wasn't cannon, nor was it meant to be.
I really feel a Zutara resurgence is on the horizon. My inner Zutarian has been going overdrive reading fanfics, looking through fan art and tweeting nonstop about the couple for over a month now.
BE STILL MY ZUTARA HEART. This. was. awesome. This is the final ending for me, really. Kataang was cute, I think, but I will always treasure zutara - they were great together.
I think it was so cute that Zuko waited for Katara's consent before kissing her 😁. Underneath all the rough and tough on the outside, he's such a gentleman on the inside 😋
I will never stop shipping Zutara, I wish that the creators allowed them to be together instead of Katara just being the stereotypical 'prize' that the hero of the show won. So much character progression on both their parts just to emphasise the concept of 'Balance' and suddenly some deus ex machine and she picks Aang ,.ZUTARA FOREVER , thank you for this wonderful animation!
Wait I seriously did not know this was a thing. I believed that Aang truly cared about her, Katara had her own development her own moments, and her growth shown. She was another important character ON HER OWN. To think that she was just a trophy wife is insane.
also Katara would make a bada** firelady edit: idk why i'm getting alerts from this comment since it's not even mine but why do y'all have to be so rude to her especially since this is a zutara vid like duh people are gonna like zutara and put their opinions about it but there's no reason to be so mean about it she stated her opinion in a respectful way and instead of respectfully disagreeing some of y'all are telling her to stfu like ?!?!? why are y'all so pressed over a ship smh this is why i try to stay away from ships y'all are so toxic about it
@The Initiate Anyone is free to ship what they want, and both Kataang and Zutara have their merits as a ship. Calling one Garbage is what triggers this toxic ship war. Canon itself does not dictate what people should feel. And btw, I am a Multi-Shipper who appreciates canon and non-canon ships in Avatar.
I'm still so mad, that the creators didn't make this cannon. Besides the fact that they have way more chemistry and Aang and Katara would have been better friends, it also would have represented something. The fact that Katara ends up with the future Fire Lord. Katara whose village was destroyed by the Fire Nation would learn to love it. Fire and Water. Choosing Aang was the easy way out and although most of my ships don''t come true, I'm the most pissed off about this one, because the ATLA creators didn't really take the easy way a lot...
yeah same. bur i felt if given more time like lets say he joined the gang in book 2. then they would have more time and it could have worked out like this. i felt zuko and mais relationship would not happen in this scenario because he would have joined the gaang, not azula. plus it would make more sense considering zuko was against azula pretty much the whole season. he was changing for the better, so yeah.
Aang and Katara did have much more chemistry though. I mean I can spend half an hour explaining their feelings and similarities with eachother based off the show and books. I mean I would if you want me to 😳
@@thefirstbourne149 IIRC it was originally intended Zutara to be cannon in the development process and then changed. It isnt that kataang doesnt have chemistry but because of the development left overs zutara seems reasonable.
@@thefirstbourne149 Personally, my problem isn't that Katara chose Aang - it's _when_ she chose him. She was clearly very mature for her age, and Aang hadn't even hit puberty yet. If he'd physically matured more during the show - he had a voice change, a growth spurt, etc. - I would have seen him more as a suitable love interest for Katara, because otherwise it just seems _really_ uncharacteristic of her to choose the prepubescent 12-year old (even if he is the Avatar) over Zuko, who clearly cared about her very much by the end of the show and was _single_ at that time, too. Since the creators wanted to keep Aang a kid so badly during the course of the show (to the point that Zach Tyler Eisen, who was actually going through puberty while recording, had to work to keep his voice sounding younger!) - then imo they should have either let Katara be with Zuko OR completely save the Kataang romance for the comics, after Aang has physically grown up a little more. You know?
Sam Dude, there’s also the fact that Zuko has tried to kill Team Avatar on multiple occasions just to kidnap Aang, and he/his family were responsible for multiple genocides in the other three Kingdoms.
Sam Dude No one said that Zuko and Katara has to rush into a relationship at the end of the show. They could’ve gotten into one in the comics and stuff, also height difference isn’t really a problem. Its just the fact that Aangs still young and he should continue being a kid before worrying about relationships and etc; especially while hes saving the world. He may be 12 and she may be 14 (going to 15) but in that age gap you change alot and mature way more then in a gap between a 14 and 16 yr old. Also Bryan even mention in Korra that he didn’t wanna make the relationship in that show forced like how Kataang was.
Can we ask Aaron Ehasz to start writing again? Do the 4th season he wanted. It could be a parallel universe were Zutara is a thing and he can do Iroh's back story, he can turn the Comic about Zuko's mom into an episode, Toph can reunite with her parents and we can learn more about Kuzon and see Suki and Sokka again :(...I really want this to happen.
The guy doesn't have perfect ideas, he could've added more airbenders in the last season which could've had destroyed the whole point of the fucking show. Don't get me wrong, he's great, but he isn't every single reason the show is amazing
HE IS WRITING AGAIN!! He and other people from ATLA, like Jack De Sena (voice of Sokka) are helping to create The Dragon Prince on Netflix, which is like a 3D anime.
Sam Ham omg thank you for finally explaining wtf that anime is! Omg I HATE 3D anime!!! I thought I was going crazy. the fluidity in movement is totally lost and is soooooo uncomfortable to watch coming from AtLA! I thought someone was pinching my brain
It’s been 5 long years and still this video brings a warm smile to my face even during a dark time for the whole world. My favorite moment will always be the shared look after the kiss before running off into a happily ever after. I can’t thank you enough for making it.
Oh my dear Zutara Lord, this has just completed my life wishes. I am fangirling sooo much right now I think It could be the death of me. This is amazing, wonderful, fantastic, bueno, lindo, precioso. I have never been so obsessively obsessed with a cruise(ship) so much like this.. Thank you so much for this masterpiece
Wow...this looks so amazing. I've recently re-watched some episodes of the show and I have to admit that I'm still not over Zutara after all these years (and now I think I never will be) :D They had so much potential and there were so many hints. Thank you so much for making this video. It's perfect.
3yo me: "wow I love this show and katara and zuko should be together but whatever" my youtube recommendations 11years later : "hello there we thought you might like to watch this"
I loved this, better developed than the canon ship. Mai with zuko, was such a weird flex, like, it came out of nowhere, than a little flashback of all of them being kids and they falling into the fountain. didnt make it for me, it felt so forced and it really didnt make any big change in the history, more than mai`s iconic scene of "i love zuko more than i fear you" And with Aang and Katara was the same, it was like the mandatory perfect relationship since the start of it all. I would have liked seeing Aang being interested for someone who wasnt Katara, like Toph or some girl with the same introduction as Suki, as a helper of the avatar, someone they find in their way to defeat the fire lord with challenging skills and such. All would have be quite, cool. TLOK showing them older, imagine a Zuko firelord and a Katara, master of waterbending being his spouse. So much cultural growth! Mostly for Katara, instead of being the one that had to deal with Aangs mistakes on raising their kids. And dont get me started on WHY DOES KATARA DOESNT HAVE A STATUE smh.
SHE SHOULD HAVE A STATUE! Katara is just Aang's wife, like that's her identity, in LOK. It is horrible, because Katara is so strong, and she should be known, instead of having been mentioned as, "That coward Katara," by Yakone. Fire and water is such an amazing dynamic, kataang was to predictable, and it seemed mostly one-sided. Maiko seemingly came out of no where as well. I ship Aang with either Toph or that On-Ji girl from the Fire Nation. The show should have ended with Aang in like a heroic stance accepting that he can change the world and accept that things don't always go his way, like for instance who Katara likes. And the end for Katara and Zuko, they should be sitting together in front of like, a sunset talking about how the world has changed, and this should indicate a start of a romantic relationship between them.
@@sanvi8595 what?? Yokone said « that coward katara » now I know that I have did a good choice to not watch lok such an amazing character reduce as avatar’s wife, raising 3 kids, war fighter survivor, avatar’s teacher (aang and korra) and no statue 💀no comment
@@breathlessgaming125 yea, now that you say this, it’s a logic context but if we add this in the bad character treatment of katar. It too much and dismissive for the character. And thank you for the information btw!
If Avatar had to end on a kiss, I would rather it be this one rather than what we got. Zuko and Katara had way more believable chemistry than Katara and Aang IMO. Although I still would have preferred an ending with all of Team Avatar (Aang, Sokka, Katara, Suki, Toph, Zuko) standing on the balcony and looking out on the sunset or some shiz
I think this should be like one of few last scenes like i imagine we would see a little momment from everyone after the war (like what were their plans or something) and then the ending scene with everyone together😌
Thank you for this. Really. When I was a kid I didn't mind the Aang x Katara because I was too focused on the fighting, action and comedy. Now that I'm an adult rewatching Avatar, I began to see how this ship has really affected me about this show. And I think that Zuko and Katara should be the one that is canon. They just go together you know... But anyways, thank you for making this animation. It's very comforting to see.
Now see, THIS makes so much more sense and works so much better than what they did. And the whole theme of him asking her to help him find his mother goes so well after he helped Katara find her mother's killer.
Eh- I would've ended it with the hug. Honestly, I just didn't think either option was ready. Aang was still basically a little kid and Katara had only just started considering him. She wasn't even that happy when they kissed during the eclipse. As for Zuko... the chemistry was there. But they had only just started being friends and a lot was going on. There's still that awkwardness of all the hate Katara used to have for him and all the... general angst of Zuko. If either option were to become a thing... I would've imagined it taking place after the finale. Or maybe just a brief time skip at the end. Love this video though. Way cuter than canon.
I like this better. It brings catharsis to two enemy nations who where once enemies, Katara and Zuko are now ambassadors for a new age. Also is make Katara look less like Aang's trophy girl.
Why does this 2:27 video have more chemistry between Zuko and Katara than the entirety of KatAang and Maiko in ATLA, avatar comics, and Legend of Korra combined x10. How is that possible? PS. Great video, I think I’ll make a Story out of it.
I hear their voices during this, and feel that chemistry! UGH everything Zutara is can not be explained with words. This is so beautiful, thank you !!!!!!!!!!!
The art is amazing!! My heart can feel the love they have for each other through the screen. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love this. The music is perfect, so is the dialogue and the timing is spot on. This is how it should have ended. This is my favorite Zutara ending out there.
See for me at the very end where Zuko sacrifices himself for Katara and then she goes back to save him, I would’ve loved to see something there. A kiss, anything. Some romantic moment or like just acknowledgement that “hey, we almost died but were together and okay”.
oh my god that is so beautiful! I almost cried :'( It would have been the perfect ending and it even feels more natural than the hollywood version we got. It must have been alot of work to draw this. Please keep up your work!
Even as someone who's not a hardcore shipper, this is super sweet. I love it :) I do think Zutara works better than Kataang (though I still do like Kataang!), and this would have been a lovely ending.
maybe in the live action netflix show that is being made they will change the ending so that they will be together. i know the writers have since said that they almost wrote it like that and that they wish they did. maybe this is their second chance?

I find this scene -- let alone their relationship arc, as a whole -- so much more touching and natural of a development than the official canon. If there's ever a patreon / petition for getting this thing fully animated and voice acted, I'll pay and sign with my own blood, if I have to. I will _never_ be over this ship, ugh. It's too good, too perfect 👌🖤 (Though there are rumors in these comments that it _was_ published online at one point fully animated and voice acted -- with Dante Basco, no less?! -- and if that's indeed true and anyone actually ever finds it, PLEASE link me to it, I'm begging)
Dante Basco did provide lines of dialog, but unfortunately the Zutara Finale Project was never finished. (I have a whole rant in my head about how the production was handled)
@@puppetbomb This is really heartbreaking. Maybe one day i can dream, lol. I know for a fact that if they ever did fully animate it, I would edit it into the actual ATLA and rewatch the whole show over and over again just to see that pay off :)
I will ship Zutara. Always! But, I don't hate people who ship Kataang. They can do whatever they want. I only hate those who drop hate on Zutara. Also, great scene!
Heya, I know I’m 5 years late and I regretted not finding this earlier but I just wanted to thank you for the hard work you put into this ! this is honestly super well done from each scene by scene, the storyline and the soft dialogue. You portrayed the characters so well T^T also you were so nice on the comment section even though some of the antis were literally hating on your hard work just because they don’t support this ship and it’s honestly so immature at their part. I am so glad I finally stumbled on this video and just keep doing you! your channel is so underrated because this needs more appreciation 🥺
These two and a half minutes of half-rendered Zutara sketches had more chemistry and carried more emotional weight than three seasons of Kataang interactions. Thank you for giving us the ending we deserve 🙏🏼💞
So beautiful. I wish more than anything this had been the outcome of the show. Instead, she picks some 12 year old who's basically a goofball. It made no sense, whereas Zutara made all the sense in the world. Hopefully my next life will have this show end the way it should have. Oh well.

yeah same. bur i felt if given more time like lets say he joined the gang in book 2. then they would have more time and it could have worked out like this. i felt zuko and mais relationship would not happen in this scenario because he would have joined the gaang, not azula. plus it would make more sense considering zuko was against azula pretty much the whole season. he was changing for the better, so yeah.
I want to like your comment but it’s at 69 likes
Aang and Katara did have much more chemistry though. I mean I can spend half an hour explaining their feelings and similarities with eachother based off the show and books. I mean I would if you want me to 😳
yeah, no
this is how the show shouldve ended tbh
+Isabel Colmenero The guy already has a girlfriend!! What’s up with this still? Why do people think the kids don’t have chemistry (Aang and Katara)?
@@thefirstbourne149 IIRC it was originally intended Zutara to be cannon in the development process and then changed. It isnt that kataang doesnt have chemistry but because of the development left overs zutara seems reasonable.
@@thefirstbourne149 Personally, my problem isn't that Katara chose Aang - it's _when_ she chose him. She was clearly very mature for her age, and Aang hadn't even hit puberty yet. If he'd physically matured more during the show - he had a voice change, a growth spurt, etc. - I would have seen him more as a suitable love interest for Katara, because otherwise it just seems _really_ uncharacteristic of her to choose the prepubescent 12-year old (even if he is the Avatar) over Zuko, who clearly cared about her very much by the end of the show and was _single_ at that time, too.
Since the creators wanted to keep Aang a kid so badly during the course of the show (to the point that Zach Tyler Eisen, who was actually going through puberty while recording, had to work to keep his voice sounding younger!) - then imo they should have either let Katara be with Zuko OR completely save the Kataang romance for the comics, after Aang has physically grown up a little more. You know?
Sam Dude, there’s also the fact that Zuko has tried to kill Team Avatar on multiple occasions just to kidnap Aang, and he/his family were responsible for multiple genocides in the other three Kingdoms.
Sam Dude No one said that Zuko and Katara has to rush into a relationship at the end of the show. They could’ve gotten into one in the comics and stuff, also height difference isn’t really a problem. Its just the fact that Aangs still young and he should continue being a kid before worrying about relationships and etc; especially while hes saving the world. He may be 12 and she may be 14 (going to 15) but in that age gap you change alot and mature way more then in a gap between a 14 and 16 yr old. Also Bryan even mention in Korra that he didn’t wanna make the relationship in that show forced like how Kataang was.
IM SCREAMING THIS IS SO PERFECT AND BEAUTIFUL BLESS YOU
Get. This. Fully animated.
Can we ask Aaron Ehasz to start writing again? Do the 4th season he wanted. It could be a parallel universe were Zutara is a thing and he can do Iroh's back story, he can turn the Comic about Zuko's mom into an episode, Toph can reunite with her parents and we can learn more about Kuzon and see Suki and Sokka again :(...I really want this to happen.
The guy doesn't have perfect ideas, he could've added more airbenders in the last season which could've had destroyed the whole point of the fucking show. Don't get me wrong, he's great, but he isn't every single reason the show is amazing
HE IS WRITING AGAIN!!
He and other people from ATLA, like Jack De Sena (voice of Sokka) are helping to create The Dragon Prince on Netflix, which is like a 3D anime.
I wish!!
Sam Ham omg thank you for finally explaining wtf that anime is! Omg I HATE 3D anime!!! I thought I was going crazy. the fluidity in movement is totally lost and is soooooo uncomfortable to watch coming from AtLA! I thought someone was pinching my brain
@@Miko_Maus
Ok man calm down
It’s been 5 long years and still this video brings a warm smile to my face even during a dark time for the whole world. My favorite moment will always be the shared look after the kiss before running off into a happily ever after. I can’t thank you enough for making it.
Oh my dear Zutara Lord, this has just completed my life wishes. I am fangirling sooo much right now I think It could be the death of me. This is amazing, wonderful, fantastic, bueno, lindo, precioso. I have never been so obsessively obsessed with a cruise(ship) so much like this.. Thank you so much for this masterpiece
This deserves so much more views, honestly.
thank you for making this TwT really this is how they should ended, ZUTARA FOR EVEEER
Wow...this looks so amazing. I've recently re-watched some episodes of the show and I have to admit that I'm still not over Zutara after all these years (and now I think I never will be) :D They had so much potential and there were so many hints. Thank you so much for making this video. It's perfect.
I just re-watched the series and OMG this feels so real because I hear their voices
Dude, sucks how this didn't happen
my shipper heart demands an alternate ending
X2
3yo me: "wow I love this show and katara and zuko should be together but whatever"
my youtube recommendations 11years later : "hello there we thought you might like to watch this"
Could you imagine the fluff and tenderness between these two!? We were ROBBED.
Oh my god. This is the script from the alternate finale I played toph in. Finally someone did it
I loved this, better developed than the canon ship. Mai with zuko, was such a weird flex, like, it came out of nowhere, than a little flashback of all of them being kids and they falling into the fountain. didnt make it for me, it felt so forced and it really didnt make any big change in the history, more than mai`s iconic scene of "i love zuko more than i fear you" And with Aang and Katara was the same, it was like the mandatory perfect relationship since the start of it all. I would have liked seeing Aang being interested for someone who wasnt Katara, like Toph or some girl with the same introduction as Suki, as a helper of the avatar, someone they find in their way to defeat the fire lord with challenging skills and such. All would have be quite, cool.
TLOK showing them older, imagine a Zuko firelord and a Katara, master of waterbending being his spouse. So much cultural growth! Mostly for Katara, instead of being the one that had to deal with Aangs mistakes on raising their kids. And dont get me started on WHY DOES KATARA DOESNT HAVE A STATUE smh.
SHE SHOULD HAVE A STATUE! Katara is just Aang's wife, like that's her identity, in LOK. It is horrible, because Katara is so strong, and she should be known, instead of having been mentioned as, "That coward Katara," by Yakone. Fire and water is such an amazing dynamic, kataang was to predictable, and it seemed mostly one-sided. Maiko seemingly came out of no where as well. I ship Aang with either Toph or that On-Ji girl from the Fire Nation. The show should have ended with Aang in like a heroic stance accepting that he can change the world and accept that things don't always go his way, like for instance who Katara likes. And the end for Katara and Zuko, they should be sitting together in front of like, a sunset talking about how the world has changed, and this should indicate a start of a romantic relationship between them.
@@sanvi8595 what?? Yokone said « that coward katara » now I know that I have did a good choice to not watch lok such an amazing character reduce as avatar’s wife, raising 3 kids, war fighter survivor, avatar’s teacher (aang and korra) and no statue 💀no comment
@Gabriella Maroney right !! Katara should’ve have been the Southern Water Tribe Ambassador period.
@@milka9164 For context Yakone was a villain the reason he called Katara a coward was because she made bloodbending illegal.
@@breathlessgaming125 yea, now that you say this, it’s a logic context but if we add this in the bad character treatment of katar. It too much and dismissive for the character. And thank you for the information btw!
If Avatar had to end on a kiss, I would rather it be this one rather than what we got. Zuko and Katara had way more believable chemistry than Katara and Aang IMO. Although I still would have preferred an ending with all of Team Avatar (Aang, Sokka, Katara, Suki, Toph, Zuko) standing on the balcony and looking out on the sunset or some shiz
I think this should be like one of few last scenes
like i imagine we would see a little momment from everyone after the war (like what were their plans or something) and then the ending scene with everyone together😌
Katara and Zuko in my mind is so perfect, but the reality they're much more glorious.
Same!!
Wait , in reality?
You mean that live action movie?
Thank you for this. Really.
When I was a kid I didn't mind the Aang x Katara because I was too focused on the fighting, action and comedy.
Now that I'm an adult rewatching Avatar, I began to see how this ship has really affected me about this show. And I think that Zuko and Katara should be the one that is canon. They just go together you know...
But anyways, thank you for making this animation. It's very comforting to see.
What do you mean this isn't official?? I'm pretty sure it is!!
Raven Goode it's not
i wish
You need to put your clown makeup
Now see, THIS makes so much more sense and works so much better than what they did. And the whole theme of him asking her to help him find his mother goes so well after he helped Katara find her mother's killer.
Eh- I would've ended it with the hug.
Honestly, I just didn't think either option was ready.
Aang was still basically a little kid and Katara had only just started considering him. She wasn't even that happy when they kissed during the eclipse.
As for Zuko... the chemistry was there. But they had only just started being friends and a lot was going on. There's still that awkwardness of all the hate Katara used to have for him and all the... general angst of Zuko.
If either option were to become a thing... I would've imagined it taking place after the finale. Or maybe just a brief time skip at the end.
Love this video though. Way cuter than canon.
Yeah, I agree. Sweet scene though
I like this better. It brings catharsis to two enemy nations who where once enemies, Katara and Zuko are now ambassadors for a new age. Also is make Katara look less like Aang's trophy girl.
stoooppp my heart can't handle this ahhh ;w; This is so beautiful! Their expressions and mannerisms are done amazingly, I love it!
Imagine Katara kissing Zuko's scar!!!
Sleepy Effy ok that hurt my heart way more than it should of 😭😭😭
My stupid Zutara heart..😭
can't unsee it, so it's basically canon now
I'm crying 😭 Zutara are such a *soft* OTP. The beauty of these two go to the next level!
Why does this 2:27 video have more chemistry between Zuko and Katara than the entirety of KatAang and Maiko in ATLA, avatar comics, and Legend of Korra combined x10. How is that possible? PS. Great video, I think I’ll make a Story out of it.
Can't beleive they would be so calm about the first kiss, where's all the blushing
That would be romance, something Zutara shippers don't need to insist theirs is canon
I hear their voices during this, and feel that chemistry! UGH everything Zutara is can not be explained with words. This is so beautiful, thank you !!!!!!!!!!!
how did i not know this existed for nine whole years 😭😭 this is flawless
I AM A MESS THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL
The art is amazing!! My heart can feel the love they have for each other through the screen. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love this. The music is perfect, so is the dialogue and the timing is spot on. This is how it should have ended. This is my favorite Zutara ending out there.
See for me at the very end where Zuko sacrifices himself for Katara and then she goes back to save him, I would’ve loved to see something there. A kiss, anything. Some romantic moment or like just acknowledgement that “hey, we almost died but were together and okay”.
THAT was so freeekin' CUTEE. im a huge zutara fan since a was 11 and with that animation my dream come true 😍😭😍
oh my god that is so beautiful! I almost cried :'( It would have been the perfect ending and it even feels more natural than the hollywood version we got. It must have been alot of work to draw this. Please keep up your work!
Ladys and Gentleman, that's the offical version.
This video was so beautiful 👏. I shipped these two from the start, but the ship never sailed ;( The drawings were absolutely flawless omg
That moment when you realise Dante basko ships zutara and people could probably convince him to voice for this.
I think you just did something
👁👄👁
I IMAGINED IT WITH THEIR VOICES 😭😭😭 they are so cute
2024 and i'm here, still in delulu
To all you Kataang shippers: Aang wouldn’t be alone if Katara chose Zuko. Aang could be with that girl from the fire nation school!
Aang's a low-key chick magnet. He'd be fine.
I love this so much. Zuko and Katara are so perfect and should have been together. Zutara always.
X CRIES X OHMG WHYYY ISNT THIS CANON FOR CHRIST SAKEEE😭😭😭
It's been a couple of years but I still can't get over them.
Omg my shipper heart is broken. At 2017 i am still mad zutara didnt happen T-T
It's 2020 now. And I'm still mad about it. :D
I'm forced gonna be mad. I'm a die hard Zutarian.
2024. Pissed about it.
Same my fellow Zutarians. Same
I've been so blessed that this has popped up in my timeline. Zutara forever!!
Why am I fully grown ass adult about to cry😅. Oh my goodness, my young heart would've exploded with joy if the show had ended like this 😭
😭😭 this is everything I wanted. It's so sweet and tender and oh my gosh I wish we could have had this as the ending, scene for scene, word for word 😭😭
It would have been a nice twist- the hero doesn’t always get the girl.
This is so adorable. Thank you soo much for this video. 🫠😭
THE BEST ENDING IN THE WORLD!!!!!
It’s 2019 and I’m still not over them not ending up together :(
Even as someone who's not a hardcore shipper, this is super sweet. I love it :) I do think Zutara works better than Kataang (though I still do like Kataang!), and this would have been a lovely ending.
Now we need this to be done in the live action ☺
Fact: Anybody who enjoys this ship played Fire Boy and Water girl as a kid
Awwwww my childhooood
And once again I have been called out on the internet
I played fireboy and Watergirl and I still ship kataang
maybe in the live action netflix show that is being made they will change the ending so that they will be together. i know the writers have since said that they almost wrote it like that and that they wish they did. maybe this is their second chance?
Almost none of the original writers are working on it. Only the original creators were so Kataang will still be canon
@@blehblblehbl7535 Nobody cares 😃
@@ventisimp2250 Didn't ask if you cared I was just stating a fact dumbass 😀

And now the new live action is teasing my Zutara heart with hope.
HOLY CRAP I AM FANGIRLING SO FREAKING MUCH AKJDHFLAKJDHKJHDF THIS IS BEAUTIFULLY PERFECT AND I AM GOING TO SHOW THIS TO EVERYONE I KNOW. YOU ARE AMAZINGLY TALENTED AND I LOVE YOU THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH
& I'm back again watching this on repeat as I cry with the hope that zutara can still happen
still crying
Tara Golchin SAME😂 I CAN'T GET OVER IT
Your dedication to animating this is outstanding. From one artist to another.
Also MY SHIP😭
IM SCREAMING AND CRYING AT THE SAME TIME SOMEONE SEND HELP I MIGHT BE DYING WITH CUTENESS OMG HTEHKJSIHTIKSEO EHTK TJOEIH ILKJLTJ :LTH THIS IS SOO PERFECT AND I WOULD HAVE DIED IF IT WAS ACTUALLY CANON!!!!!!!!!!!
I find this scene -- let alone their relationship arc, as a whole -- so much more touching and natural of a development than the official canon. If there's ever a patreon / petition for getting this thing fully animated and voice acted, I'll pay and sign with my own blood, if I have to. I will _never_ be over this ship, ugh. It's too good, too perfect 👌🖤
(Though there are rumors in these comments that it _was_ published online at one point fully animated and voice acted -- with Dante Basco, no less?! -- and if that's indeed true and anyone actually ever finds it, PLEASE link me to it, I'm begging)
Dante Basco did provide lines of dialog, but unfortunately the Zutara Finale Project was never finished.
(I have a whole rant in my head about how the production was handled)
@@puppetbomb This is really heartbreaking. Maybe one day i can dream, lol. I know for a fact that if they ever did fully animate it, I would edit it into the actual ATLA and rewatch the whole show over and over again just to see that pay off :)
@@puppetbomb aw, dangit.
I loved your Zutara/Kataang video!!
Aang: I would've stayed in my iceberg for another 100 years if I knew there were gonna be days like this 😔
This is the softest most pure thing I’ve ever seen
This is perfection. I died a few times out of happiness I think
Words can't express how much I loved this
I will ship Zutara. Always! But, I don't hate people who ship Kataang. They can do whatever they want. I only hate those who drop hate on Zutara. Also, great scene!
i just need to say
katara just staring and blinking is the most adorable thing ever
I wonder if they'll hook up Katara and Zuko in the live action reamake sereis they're doing for Netflix.
pOssibly, it brings new hope for a major part of the fandom
Aang in the corner:😭
Mai in the corner:😡
Sokka: that’s rough buddy
oh zutara gawds above that made me sooo friggin happy just now that was totally what i needed.
thank you sooo much i am really really happy right now
This is so freaking cute!
Heya, I know I’m 5 years late and I regretted not finding this earlier but I just wanted to thank you for the hard work you put into this ! this is honestly super well done from each scene by scene, the storyline and the soft dialogue. You portrayed the characters so well T^T also you were so nice on the comment section even though some of the antis were literally hating on your hard work just because they don’t support this ship and it’s honestly so immature at their part. I am so glad I finally stumbled on this video and just keep doing you! your channel is so underrated because this needs more appreciation 🥺
When TH-cam knows exactly what I want
oH MY GOD IM CRYING THIS IS SO CUTE THIS IS HOW IT SHOULDVE ENDED OH MY GOD YES GREAT JOB WITH THE ANIMATION :D
This is literally so in character I can hear their voices in my head
honestly, we did not even need canon. all we zutarians asked for on one kiss. honestly
These two and a half minutes of half-rendered Zutara sketches had more chemistry and carried more emotional weight than three seasons of Kataang interactions. Thank you for giving us the ending we deserve 🙏🏼💞
So beautiful. I wish more than anything this had been the outcome of the show. Instead, she picks some 12 year old who's basically a goofball. It made no sense, whereas Zutara made all the sense in the world. Hopefully my next life will have this show end the way it should have. Oh well.
I dont know what to do with my life anymore after watching this... Tbh, this is the most beautiful thing ive ever seen❤💙
omg that was so BEAUTIFUL!!!
thIS IS HOW IT SHOULD HAVE ENDED.
