Nah.... Well.... Eh..... J/k. I loved Sokka from the Start, but Katara was my favorite girl. Then I fell in love with Yue until she died (I know everyone was all, "Oh she's so whiny she cries too much wah wah wah"). Then Toph came and now I love her. She's so hardcore. Zuko i think I started to obsess, er, love, after the storm.

It's awful but the only character I really liked from the beginning was Iroh...LOL. Then the others started growing on me. Hated Toph at first, love her now. But I've been consistently indifferent to Zuko - some having to do with my own tastes and in all honesty the fandom. I'm horrid...LOL Not any more horrible then me since I am the only one who seems to even criticize such a beloved character as Iroh. Everyone despises me for it. Katara was the character I loved since the very beginning I guess because we have pretty much the same sort of personality and a similar idealism. Zuko I fell in love with much later. The fandom honestly ruins many a good thing. Bad fanfic authors have done much to make my pairing look bad.

How would that help? Facial expressions alone aren't enough to convey a point. I get a little hot headed and blurt some certain things out... I always loathe watching the gaang's side of the story just because of Aang, so having to sit through that seems to feed the fire to my spastic rants during their part and during commercial breaks. Its amusing.

Which I think is a shame since debating the characters is fun. I liked Katara from pretty close to the beginning. I saw some of myself in her at that age which was cool. And yes, I've read some of those fanfics *cringe*. I've also had IM arguments with significantly younger people telling 30 year old me that I don't know what sex and sexy are. Those are amusing, yet a tad bit sad.

hmm i think the only characters i liked right away were appa and momo. although as soon as i figured out a bit about the characters i liked pretty much all the main ones.
i will admit to taking awhile to like aang a bit though. i didn't really like him much in the first eps. i saw.

Wow.

Those are amusing, yet a tad bit sad. I think the untouchable quality that Iroh has around him is wrong because he does have some major flaws. I'm not certain why that has come about. I guess I do not see the appeal of Iroh so much. Oh man, that's sad but I hate the emphasis placed on sex with the pairing. That's not at all what it is about to me and to place so much emphasis on it degenerates the pairing to one of just lust. To me that makes it meaningless and anything meaningless I discard.

Aang is my favorite character, I love it when he makes a flop of himself (and also obvious reasons) *is shot*

I just never understood the need to attack people for beliefs or IM them or run them down. I can accept and fully understand that there are people who dislike the characters I like. And that's fine. Personal taste. Aang makes Ardor rant at the TV, extended Zuko scenes make me want to turn the TV off. It's just what we like and don't like and it's not right or wrong.
But, and I'll admit it although it has never really happened on DH, I've been verbally hassled for not liking Zuko and how can I be a "true" Avatar fan if I don't like him. I don't see the reason for that sort of behavior.

I meant the people bugging Amira. And Iroh has flaws just like everyone else, so seeing them and not liking them isn't horrible. I mean, everyone has their own opinion. I love him, and he's a great character. But he isn't one of my favoirites.

hehe point those people out to me amira and i'll yell at 'em. i agree. it's no fun if we all like the same characters and stuff. we're all different, so we can't like the same things. my favorite character is zuko b/c i love his story and character depth...although i also love momo about as much. momo's so adorable . lol ok saph(is it ok if i shorten your name?). i was worried for a bit there ^_^;;. yeah i can see iroh's flaws as well..just can't put them into words at the moment.

Lol.
Everone shortens it. It's cool.
Id say my favorite Girls are Toph and Katara and My favorite guy is Zuko. If I had to narrow down my absolute favorite one my brain would hemmorhage from the pressure.

I don't see the reason for that sort of behavior. I feel it is my duty to argue against what I deem to be the wrong values. I would argue with those "Zutarians" you described in a heartbeat. As for labelling whether someone is a true Avatar fan based on the characters they like is wrong unless perhaps you like Azula so much that you want her to off Zuko, Aang and Ozai. Then I get disturbed.

Some people's standards of "true fandom" are bulls^$% anyways. I remember during winter break on another forum someone went, "Whose going to watch Avatar nonstop during the holidays?" And I went "Eh. not me." (because that'd be boring). And he goes all on about how i'm not a true fan.
Because I have a life.
Petty example, I know, but just a showing of how stupid people can really be.
