Unpopular opinion: I think Aang is NATLA is more likable than the original animated character. I love how we actually get to know him as a character and follow him on his journey. If @AvatarNetflix keeps this up, I can see this series going very well.

I don’t get this whole “why would Katara pick Aang when Zuko is right there”argument?Cause objectively, in real life,I would 100% pick the guy who’s always positive,who always sees the best in life,even when it gets hard, who makes me laugh,is my best friend and my number one fan

I feel it’s important to say that the fact that Zuko has the most fics out of everyone in atla is because he is one of the most sexualized minors in fiction ever. And most of the fics I’ve seen don’t even bother to age him up…

I find it hilarious how ZKs like to turn Katara into this timid girl who’s afraid to hurt Aang’s feelings,so she can’t just tell him she’s not interested. Yeah,cause Katara’s definitely the kind of girl who’s afraid to say how she really feels so she doesn’t hurt others’ feelings

Forget about romance, I truly think even their friendship was not developed properly. She forgives him way too easy. That’s why their later interactions always seem awkward to me. I don’t buy their friendship, unlike his friendship with Aang and Sokka, it just seems forced

People in the quotes acting dense on purpose (as always) when Zuko and Katara's bond and relationship (whether romantic or platonic) is one of the best written and developed relationships on the show. Every single one of their scenes together is meaningful and important

I also find it really funny how much they hate that Zukka is the popular ship right now. They don’t even get that gag, Zukka shippers know it’s a crack ship, it’s for fun! They’re not the ones spending all their energy trying to prove their ship was supposed to be canon

The reason Aang didn’t call Katara Sifu is because she was his friend first. They were best friends for months before she became his master so it’s natural to keep addressing to your friend in a casual way. The second she let him know she’d like to be called Sifu,he did just that

You’re just proving you don’t understand the show at all. He didn’t refuse to control the avatar state because he had feelings for her, he agreed to let her go, started to do that then saw she was in danger, THATS why he left.He was ready to enter the AS BEFORE he saw the vision

@zukokins This also goes under the same topic of Kataang fans romanticizing Aang’s refusal to control the avatar state by choosing Katara, back in S2 *when he didn’t even know if Katara felt the same way abt him*, assuming she’d be okay with that rash decision. It never gets addressed. 🥲

And I get why he’s the way he is. I truly love Zuko. He’s a traumatized teenager and the way he’s expressing his frustrations is valid. But Aang is no less traumatized, and in a tough situation, I would much rather be with someone like Aang than Zuko.

Literally. It’s “Katara is one of the strongest female characters in fiction” and then it’s “Katara was forced into a relationship with Aang who used her as an incubator to produce more airbenders” it’s like saying 2+2=39192983929

@mymothervisenya You’re literally justifying his actions! Just because Zuko is struggling between good and evil we’re supposed to forgive his mistakes when he doesn’t even apologize? But Aang is supposed to be this pure character who never makes any mistakes and if he does we should crucify him?

@dailykataang “I know the world needs him but doesn’t he know how much that we need him too? How could he just leave us behind?”
