    It always kind of bothers me when people say that Aang is way too immature for Katara or Zuko is more mature for her. By the end of book 3, Aang has matured immensely and to be honest, he probably becomes the most mature kid in the group.

      I know right! Aang is already way more mature than zuko in season 1 😂 but people always make exceptions for zuko in some kind of way and Aang only becomes more mature.
      Plus one of the reasons I think Katara loves Aang is cause he brings her joy and laughter and excitement but also gets serious when it comes to it

      Not really; if anything, Aang was at his most immature in season 3, as he constantly runs away from his problems (which he gets rewarded for), and starts developing an unhealthy limerence towards Katara which becomes possessive and causes him to become entitled

    oh no... lmao... i was here just to get my joy out of shitting on Zutara, and then started genuinely tearing up at the thought of Zuko projecting his desires for a healthy sibling relationship onto Katara, since his own sister of the same age hates him and has rejected him his whole life

    • @alwayseverythingg
      @alwayseverythingg 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

      It actually makes so much sense though. In “The Search” comic too, Zuko sees how Katara and Sokka behave together as siblings and he tries to act similarly to Azula but she just isn’t the same. He wants that kind of relationship with his sibling, he wants to be a big brother, and care for and protect someone

    I hate it when people say that Zutara makes more narrative sense than Kataang even though Kataang has been the one built up for 2 and a half seasons and the big “Zutara moments” mostly happen in those five episodes of them actually being friends which if they did go with it would’ve felt unsatisfying, rushed, and incredibly forced so then at that point no one would be happy

    • @NeytiriPhoenix
      @NeytiriPhoenix 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      No they didnt really have development because every time they had a 'moment' they carried on afterwards as if nothing had changed between them and the show literally did that on purpose. It strung along the relationship between Katara and Aang on purpose to give them that 'will they/won't they routine' and that was kind of the point. You can literally see development between characters when moments or events change the dynamic between characters to make them act or behave different towards each other. This doesn't really happen until the day of black sun when Aang legitimately kisses Katara and she can no longer ignore his feelings for her but even after that they don't acknowledge that kiss until Ember Island Players. They continue to carry on as if nothing happened ON PURPOSE to keep you guessing as to whether they were going to get together. That's how story telling works. So they may have been friends for a long time but they didnt start actually exploring Katara and Aang together until pretty much Day of Black Sun where Katara became aware of Aangs feelings. Time together does not equal development.

    The thing with the Zutara argument while it's fine if you ship it. A common argument is that their emotional baggage is the same losing their mothers at a young age. It's technically the same for Kataang Aang has also lost his mother during the air nomad genocide. Also Zuko's mother isn't dead Ursa is alive and back in the comics so at the end it's more the same for Kataang.

    Also some of the Zutara fans are zutara fans because they’re just coping that they didn’t get together and most of these fans either put down Aang and call him an incel which blows my mind. I’m going to say this, Katara has more of a brain then most of these people, Katara likes Aang because he stands for what he believes in, he likes to help people, also without Katara. Aang would have ripped apart the sandbenders. Katara is also smart enough to know not to do a 180 and start flirting with Zuko like she’s been doing with Aang

    This is so, so good. Thank you for compiling these. The one thing I would add to this is that these arguments *for* Zutara are (mostly) coming from a Western lens while the show is centered around and inspired by Asian cultures. It’s unfair to classify Aang as 'unattractive' simply because he doesn’t fit into the mold of traditional Western masculine hero. It’s shown that he has many admirers in his age range, including Koko, Meng, and On Ji. Like you said, just because Zuko and Katara are conventionally attractive doesn't mean they're attracted to each other.

I'm 22, and I know people who act the same way, or even more goofy. That's just how he is. He's traumatized by his circumstances, but no one who is traumatized acts that way all the time; it's called suppression. Katara doesn't act like a grief-stricken wreck all the time, yet you acknowledge that she's traumatized! The only difference is that you are brushing off Aang's because he's younger than her.

I wish relationships could be just platonic without The notion of either you're my sister or you're my girlfriend.

    I mean… I have only argued against one Zutara shipper. It was my friend who loves fanfic. I understand where she is coming from, she sees herself in Katara and she loves Zuko so the logical conclusion is to ship the character she identifies with with the character she’s attracted too. I think this sentiment is what affects a lot of young female fans that grew up with the show. I can’t remember exactly what my counter arguments were but I remember my friend bringing up points in the series that was evidence for Zutara and would simply tell her what Katara/Zuko’s actual motivations during those scenes were. Even the fricken Ember Island players make fun of the ship and Zuko and Katara give each other the awkward glance.

    So Katara being the good girl & Healer she is gives Zuko a chance of mercy & tries to help with his scar.
    Now if you didn't know earlier, NO FOOIN DOCTOR IS GONNA JUST GIVE YOU A FOOKIN TREATMENT UNLESS HE/SHE HAS A PROPER LOOK & FEEL OF YOUR FOOKIN DISEASE!
    So Katara casually tries to examine Zuko's scar.
    Zutarians: SEE THIS SHIT! THIS SHIT REAL LOVE BABY! KATARA WILL ONLY GROW STRONGER AS A FEMALE IF SHE DATES ZUKO & ALWAYS FIXES HIS *PERSONAL* SHIT UP COZ OF HIS INDECISIVENESS! KATARA DIDN:T EVEN TOUCH AANG'S WOUND AFTER AZULA HIT HIM [Yea Coz who gives a damn fuck about the fact that we only get to see the last scene of Aang's healing session Unlike we see Zuko's healing sessions 1st part only. Plus No shits also given to the fact how Katara Literally Flows over everybody to save Aang and Breathes a sigh of Relief like she gained her life back when Aang opened his eyes!]

      "I wanna get a speaker and put it outside of a Zutara shippers house and play this full blast 😌" 🤦‍♀️
      I don't even ship but I honestly I'm starting to get why y'all hate each other if you're _this_ disrespectful towards each other's difference of opinion and _this_ prepared to shove it down each other's throats. You say you don't have anything against people who ship Zutara while saying the above - maybe check the kind of message you're giving off there, it might be more closely related to the cause of the ship war than the actual ships involved.
      For the record, cards on the table because I know the shippers will be thinking it, I have a slight bias against Kataang because Aang's kisses without clear consent and Katara's subsequent upset make me _super_ uncomfortable, but that's about it.
      Ever since getting back into this fandom a couple weeks ago I've been trying to hear both sides of the argument but honestly, screw it. This by far isn't the worst thing these shippers have said about each other but honestly maybe it's the veneer of being nice while being disrespectful that finally got to me with this. Warring Zutara and Kataang shippers who are _this_ invested in showing each other up are the poison of the fanbase. Glad I watched this video; sincerely disappointed I read the comments.

      different context though. I personally just can't get behind it because I've been the kid who ends up essentially babysitting a lot (essentially in any context where there are kids any age younger than me) and the crush-on-the-babysitter trope irks me to no end because the last thing I would have wanted as a 14 year old would have been to babysit my partner (there's a certain personality that's put on when working- like with how Katara would be really encouraging with Aang during training [vs. Toph's tough love approach]. Coddling is fine for teaching, but it can be an unhealthy instinct in a relationship). So between the two ships on that, I would side with zutara. I still agree with most the points in the video though.

    i only watched the first bit of you giving "context" to certain scenes. i think you should research the term "sub-text", particularly "romantic sub-text" in any type of literature analysis. because imho these are not reasons to prove Zutara is ... real? or something. no, these are not inherently romantic, and i don't think that's the point.
    the point is why do people ship it regardless of those not being necessarily romantic scenes (objectively speaking), but rather pivotal points in the development of their dynamic "enemies to maybe-allies to betrayal to one-sided hate to reluctant allies to friends". and why so many viewers find that so compelling, not just because "omg! they hugged!".
    ps. i'm not commenting on the rest of the video because just based on your first chapter, it's an argument that's already been debunked. but i think you do come from a place of caring to give a nuanced opinion, so thanks for that! it's something that fandom discourse lacks and can be very appreciated in the midst of so much toxicity nowadays ^^

      @@kennedymcmaster419 I never thought you were, I was pointing out that this video isn't about Aang at all. This is purely about Zuko, Katara, and the arguments people use to support the ship between them. Plus, Aang has apologized for a LOT of his own screw-ups as well, and blames himself both for the deaths of the Air Nomads and the Fire Nation gaining such a huge advantage in the war, and apologized for hiding the scroll meant for Bato, something he did purely due to his fear of being left alone, a very relatable and understandable fear for a boy who lost literally EVERYONE he loved and is functionally all alone in the world save for Katara and Sokka at that point in time; Zuko HAS apologized for the things he's done, but like the video said, that doesn't erase the fact that they happened, and that many of those things were truly reprehensible. He only apologized after having his ego beaten to hell and back, stomping a burning march up and down the world chasing Aang, and betraying his uncle.
      The point of that section of the video was that people who like Zuko shouldn't handwave aside his actions for fics detailing events prior to S3 or act like he had character development that wasn't there prior to that season. Canonically speaking, prior to S3, Katara had no reason to like Zuko and nearly EVERY reason to hate him with every fiber of her being. That isn't a criticism of the ship, that's just acknowledging the facts of the show as they are. If someone really wants Zutara, they need to be willing to put in the work to justify it in fanfics, and accept that it doesn't have the canon "evidence" behind it that they like to claim it does. That's true of basically all ships in fanfics, you have to show the work that goes into any realistic and healthy relationship.

    Okay, but even if we acknowledge that Zutara was clearly never the show's intended direction for their characters-fans are still entitled to think that would have preferred to have seen it if it were played in that direction rather than seeing what was actually played in that direction. (If that makes sense?)
    Like what people think is or would have been the better ship doesn't always have to based specifically or only on what was actually there in canon-it's okay to consider, sometimes, what _could_ have been there too ...even if it was never actually there.
    **HOWEVER**
    Different people express attraction in different ways. Sometimes, even the same person can and will occasionally express their attraction differently with certain persons than with other persons.
    Lots of people don't get blushy or self-conscious when they're in love.
    People who can't relate to experiencing those kinds of feelings may just wish they could see more romances on-screen sometimes where characters also might not always experience those particular kinds of feelings even while they are in love either.
    It's kinda like even unintentional homoerotic subtext being so wildly popular sometimes when there isn't enough overt homo-romance on screen.😅 Sometimes audiences long for what isn't there to be there, not only just for whatever is actually there.
    And I think that's kind of okay.
    But, apart from all of that, yeah-even though I personally would have preferred seeing Zutara over most of the canon ships, it was still never my personal fave ship either, and I never believed it was actually supported by canon / recognized many reasons why as the canon stood it would have been a relatively problematic ship.

And there's nothing wrong with that.

    I kinda agree with you but people don't really ignore zuko 's flaws.
    Also I just want to defend zuko by saying yeah he made mistakes but he never killed people or hurted anyone actually iroh himself may have killed people and made more damage than zuko did ( I mean iroh made more damage before seeing the truth and the fire nation and you get the point)
    I don't hate zurara but it has one problem and it is that even after zuko redeemed himself katara didn't trust him which is completely fine and understandable.
    But then she basically threatened to kill him FOR AANG .
    That alone speaks for itself.
    Also kataang had 3 seasons to develop while zutara had only one season to develop.
    Also it is so disrespectful to zuko 's character to think that when he saved katara in his fight against for azula it was because he liked katara.
    He saved katara because he us a good kind person he realised his friend was going to get hurt and he saved her.

      @ Stephanie Romero as for the misogyny that’s not so much on canon… that’s on most of u shippers. do u have any idea how much katara is sexualised and zuko is infantilised, how katara is mischaracterised and stripped of her depth and personality. how she is reduced to a meer “wifey” for zuko, or else some angsty edge lord. another incredibly misogynistic thing is when zuko is constantly expressing emotions and his hurt, neglect, trauma etc. but katara being the “gOoD gIrL” she is makes it her life ambition to “fix” zuko (which is a horrible old sexist trope) i also hate that the shippers focus on “fire lord katara” not even acknowledging her culture and tribe, but keeping zuko with his nation. idk i just find it gross how so many of the fans handle the ship. it’s racist how the brown girl is always mollycoddling and trying to “fix” this guy how gives her 0 respect in return. also the demonisation of aang and mai (the canon love interests) is so cruel. my evidence? you may ask? well, the fact that in your reply you said that kataang was more toxic and misogynistic than ZUTARA. when kataang is clearly a wholesome, developed, REALISTIC relationship. where katara is ACTUALLY happy. yall zutarians claim to care about katara but put her in a ship with someone who brings out the worst in her? puts her in her lowest? is that really what you want for katara and zuko? them to fight and hurt each other? or do u just want blue and red… fire and water? actually ask yourself…

    I’m sorry but after how Katara was treated throughout the series then through the comics and in LOK that made her a literal housewife who barely spoke her mind anymore Kataang completely ruined her I would’ve rather her be alone if that was going to happen 😕

    • @kylemorgan2301

      When did LOK make her a literal housewife who barely spoke her mind anymore? Her literal first season had her speaking her mind and actively encouraging Korra to do what she felt was right rather than letting the White Lotus decide her destiny FOR HER.

      @Yari What do you mean she never spoke her mind in the comics or in THE LEGEND OF KORRA?
      When Zuko, Aang and the Earth King were in conflict over what to do with the Fire Nation colonies in THE PROMISE, she convinced both Aang and the Earth King to reconsider their positions. She's basically the reason why the colonies became the United Republic.
      In NORTH AND SOUTH, she made it clear that she didn't like how the Northern Water Tribe was changing the Southern Water Tribe; she made it clear that she didn't trust Maliq and Malina.
      In THE RIFT and IMBALANCE, Katara gave Aang advice and reassurance whenever he felt conflicted about a difficult situation. (Is there no place for the spirits in our world? Can we create a world that grows while protecting/preserving what's already here? Should I take away Liling's bending?)
      In the Tarrlok/Amon/Yakone flashback from the first season of THE LEGEND OF KORRA, we learn that Katara was the one who outlawed bloodbending.
      When Korra completed her firebending test and wanted to immediately jump into airbending, the White Lotus members and the firebending instructors asked *Katara* if she believed Korra was ready. When Katara said "yes," they told Korra she could start training with Tenzin.
      Katara was powerful, outspoken and influential during the war *and* after the war. In Korra's time, people still respect her as a master waterbender and consider her to be one of the best (if not the best) in the entire world. Getting together with Aang didn't change that. Having children (and grandchildren) didn't change that.

    1.) Zuko and Katara are at War. He's doing all this because he's desperate to get home. Zuko is also doing it all for the fire nation, he wanted his father's love. They are enemies, it's normal for them to be in this situation. That's what Season 1 Zuko is all about. What matters is that Zuko changed and they eventually become friends in the end.
    2.) No, Zuko did not encourage Katara. He only informed her to earn her trust. It was Katara's decision, she was the one who wanted closure. She was the one who decided to walk to dark part of her life and Zuko is the ONLY ONE who accompanied her. No one else tried to understand her, not even her brother or her canonical love interest. Zuko faced his abuser, Ozai because he wanted a closure too, soooo why can't Katara do the same?
    3.) That bias has nothing to do with Zutara. Yes, Zuko did all those things. He did more problematic things than Aang that's why his redemption has such a great impact and is constantly praised. Zuko is way more popular than Aang and that's just a fact because Aang's character development is not that good to begin with. Also, it's because Zuko is not the protagonist who constantly is preaches about righteousness and peace and not hurting people.
    4.) Yes that is indeed shallow. But the point of having a good grounded relationship is you fully accept the fact that your partner is imperfect. You work together and understand each other and communicate. Most importantly, YOU GIVE to one another. Silly things like blushing after seeing the person as a perfect angel, are not needed. Stuff like that is puppy love, teenage crush, and Shallow. Which is what Kataang has been showcasing throughout the show. 🤷‍♀️
    5.) Yea, because they've been enemies for like most of the show, it would be awkward. He was on a date with that girl and Mai is his girlfriend so naturally he is inclined to do those things. As for Katara, she knows that Aang like her so off course she'd do those things, lol. Also, You're saying that Zuko also insults and snaps at girls he's attracted to? Cause he literally insults the way Jin ate and called Mai "a big blah."
    6.) Lol, How do you know he just wanted a sister? How about friendship? Zuko still cared for Azula as seen in the comics and he wanted for her to get better. Also, why would Zuko see Katara as another Azula? He knows they're nothing alike, he only wanted her forgiveness not so that he can start over with another better version of Azula.
    7.) Again, that's because they were ✨enemies✨ and at war with each other. One of the main points of Zuko's redemption arc is forgiveness, which is what Katara grants him. They became good friends then. Once again you're pointing out things that make Zutara development more incredible.
    8.) Yep that's correct. That friendship is a good foundation enough for Zutara as lovers after their eventual friendship in the Fanfics. Many Zutara shippers don't even want that kiss cause that would be rushed and forced as Kataang's.
    9.) Ok yea, but Katara was still the mother of the group. She's Aang's replacement for all the people he lost that's why she constantly coddles and protects him. Sokka pretty much admits that he was raised by Katara. Who was Katara supposed to lean on when dealing with her darkness? I could only think of one person mature enough in the Gaang 🤔. Zuko has learned and experienced hardships throughout his banishment. They are the most mature of the group. He only acts that way because he had inner turmoil.
    10.) You keep mentioning the episode but did you actually watch it? The Southern raiders has Katara finally forgiving Zuko, and you said they became friends then finally, so doesn't that require ummmmm, trust? Also did you not watch the final Agni Kai? Katara recklessly runs to Zuko in a desperate attempt to heal him. She even cries at the end for him. So why? Why wouldn't she still trust him? 🤦‍♀️
    Epilogue:
    Sorry Zuzu, it looks like your redemption arc and the healthy relationships you acquired will not get through some people. It looks like everything you did throughout the show is written in permanent ink in the book of grudge. Anyways, I'm a new Avatar fan, but all these arguments against Zutara are old. Yea, you can convince me and other team Zutara people that it's not canon and that it was all ship baiting, but one thing that you can't convince us is that Zutara is wrong. I mean we're still arguing for it more than a decade later.
    PS. You should watch Sneezy Reviews 2 hr. video, she does it better than me.

      Your arguments are coming from what ifs and outside of what happened in the show. You’re only hoping these things happen eventually (zutara) you have to look at the SHOW. Stop talking about what if and things you’re projecting because of your own personal bias.
