@wii Boy: Well, to put it simply, thats what M & B obviously intended from the beginning, at least in Kataang and Maiko, not sure about Teng though.

^ No. The problem is that some people just don't like Maiko. No matter what happens in the show, they still won't like it. It's no different than you not liking Zutara at all. You absolutely despise Zutara. Some people feel the same about Maiko. That's a part of life. People aren't always going to like & dislike the same things you do.

@zenjamin
That firebending theory really struck me. It got me thinking (of writing a fanfic, haha I'm a loser)... and it really wouldn't surprise me if that very problem comes up in the future. The way things are going, it seems entirely possible that Aang will try to block everything out for his training, but if he blocks everything out, he'll completely lack balance and his training will get thrown out of whack.
The only part of your theory I disagree with is Zuko's involvement. I think if anyone tells Aang he has to embrace his feelings, it would be Iroh (I'm assuming he'll join them at some point). Zuko is just starting to achieve balance that way. I don't think he'll have enough experience in the finer psychological points of firebending to pass the knowledge on to Aang. It could be a lesson for Aang and Zuko.

I have no idea why no-one has mentioned this, Rufftoon posted a storyboard for Avatar that's like in the future, like what all the characters look like 5 years on. It's completly made up and probably bears no relavance to the story in the future or does it?!. But still, it's nice to see what Aang looks like later on, and let's just say there is ship hinting xD rufftoon.deviantart.com/art/NYAF-Avatar-panel-fake-board-1-71665386

It says fake on it so it probably wont have much revalance but it is still cool to see. My thing with Maiko is that it seems kind of forced. But thats just me. Thats why Kataang is always my favorite shipping. ;D

Oh I know it's fake, but it's nice to see what the characters could like when they are older. It's safe to conclude Aang is hot when he's older xD

Man, some of these topics are looooooong.
And yeah, that storyboard did say fake at the top. It's most likely a fan made thing. In fact, I guarantee it is.
So according to the person who drew the storyboard, no go.
Back to an eariler point, I have no real problem with any of the canon ships. The writers have done a good enough job portraying them all that none can really upset me. I personally am against shipping outside of canon because I think it damages the storyline and all too often would require character behaving severely out of character. I certainly don't want to see a soap opera.

^ Don't we have enough soap opera's in this world? I mean come on I can't take that much drama all the time. They have to take some time off the drama and do what there supposed to do (like on Grey's anatomy). If Avatar became a soap opera I would stop watching it.

The problem I see with the whole "Zuko joining the Gaang = Love/Soap Opera" is that Zuko's story with the Gaang is about alliances. He is not going to risk forming an alliance only to have it shattered by going after the girl the Avatar likes. Katara certainly wouldn't. Zuko's got his own story still - forming an alliance with Aang, finding his mother, healing things with Iroh, helping with taking down his father.
Katara, except in a friend capacity or an ally capacity, will not have a relationship with him. I don't see where it makes sense nor is it necessary.

Plus the fact that the writers have made it clear that Zuko and Aang's stories are parallel. Their romances are not the same, their destiny's are not the same. Having Zuko hit on Katara would change the story structure.

Having Zuko hit on Katara would change the story structure. it would make things very interesting.. but like Amira said.. unecessary. & i agree w/ frozen... aang will definitely be hot when he's older! XD probably something like this... jellycakes.deviantart.com/art/The-Avatar-State-71171699

But still, it's nice to see what Aang looks like later on, and let's just say there is ship hinting xD Even if it is fake, I love it. Older!Aang looks good and the look he gives to Katara in the second panel is sweet. Plus the fact that the writers have made it clear that Zuko and Aang's stories are parallel. Their romances are not the same, their destiny's are not the same. Zuko and Aang’s romances have even paralleled a few times. Plus, Katara is so in love devoted to Aang that a romance between them just wouldn’t work. Zuko would be in second place again and Katara is going to some convincing, probably from Aang, to even be his friend.

I knoooow right? That look he gives her in the second panel makes my heart squeal! Apparenly hearts can squee?
But we don't need a fake story board to tell us that Kataang is going to be amazing in the future xD
