I was just watching "The Fortuneteller" when Aunt Wu predicts that Katara will marry a powerful bender and was reminded of all the shipping based on this. And of the Zutarians saying how powerful a bender Zuko is, but is he? Sure he has had good training but does that make him good? Compared to Azula and Iroh he's not good and he only defeat Zhao because Zhao was a cocky b******. Oh and then Haru too was mentioned. Haru's just a bender, but there's no idea if he's any good.

Zuko was bashing Aang around pretty bad during the "Crossroads of Destiny" final fight. The most dramatic moment was when Aang retreated to a higher area, and Zuko fired a massive fireball at him. Aang's attempts to defend himself fail, and then we see a slo-mo of Aang falling backwards.
Aang=powerful bender
Zuko beat up Aang
Zuko=powerful bender
At any rate, after watching that episode again, I really felt that Aang won't be with Katara because Aunt Wu actually saw no love in his future.
Sure, theres the whole "you can shape your destiny blah blah blah obligatory moral point" but even when Sokka says that Aang is a powerful bender, Katara didn't seem happy to realize this, just shocked.
So that would point to her not having considered Aang.
Just my thoughts at least.

sure zuko is pretty skilled when it comes to firebending, but maybe she meant powerful in a different way. If he did become firelord then he would be one of the most powerful men in the avatarverse, so powerful+bender=powerful bender

The fact that he is called weak in his family doesn't mean anything at all. Firelords are the most powerfull firebenders in the world. Azula is a prodigy able to defeat the Avatar and Iroh is even a legend among the EK people. Being a weak bender in Zukos family still makes him more powerfull then any regular bender out there. So yeah, Zuko is a powerfull bender. Nick Mag implied that he could be the one the prediction ment, but it's rather arguable and have to be revealed yet. Besides the more popular and obvious choices Zuko and Aang there are other powerfull benders out there like Toph for example. xD

GARRRRWWWWAAA why not just tile the thread Zutara and be done with it.
Yes Zuko is a powerful bender but you know what so are Pakku, Jeong Jeong, King Bumi, and Iroh

This was exactly what I was thinking--the words "powerful bender" are very general. It's safe to assume that Katara wouldn't ever end up with Iroh or Bumi due to pedophilia; as well, Azula and Toph are out of the question because homosexuality on a kid's show is taboo. However, we can't pin these words down to any specific person yet. For all we know another young, powerful bender will be introduced towards the beginning of season three, like they did with Toph in season two.

I think zukos a powerful bender. If a ltte put of a dumb@$$, but I don't think that hes a powerful bender translats into zutara. I mean hes getting better and I think he has a lot pf potenial.lol Also I think Aang wasn't finding very well in crossroads that for sure.

I guess the only characters in the running to be Katara's 'great romance' at the moment are Aang, Zuko and Haru.

'Unfortunately' is a matter of opinion...one I happen to agree with for the most part...Kataang does nothing for me...I find it a rather bland match...but there are many who support is, as is their right...
But...to get this thread back on topic...Zuko's bending skills are greatly underestimated by many...he's gone toe to toe with prodigies and avatars and hasn't been totally out-classed...the fight with Azula in The Avatar State didn't go well, but he had just spent three weeks drifting on a raft with no food or water and had his hopes crushed...he wasn't in good shape physically or emotionally...but then the boy's never in good shape emotionally...

Sure Zuko's a powerful bender. But that's not shipping evidence because 1. there are many characters who are powerful benders 2. Aunt Wu's predictions are too dodgy anyway Me too!

I think that he is a pretty powerful bender. Judging by his fight in Crossroads and the fact that if Katara and Sokka hadn't been around he would have gotten Aang in the second episode I think that he has improved greatly and is a powerful bender. But I could be biased, I love Zuko.

Zuko could also be powerful in the sense of his position. If he were to become Firelord, he would be a 'powerful bender'. He is also improving in his fighting skills. He displayed some new techniques in the cave and will probably continue to learn. I'm sure Aunt Wu's prediction is far enough into the future that Zuko could still become a powerful bender (either way) by that time.
