No, just that I never thought I'd see him cry. He didn't cry for Yue. He defended her, yes, but even when she disappeared in his arms, he didn't cry.
So the fact that, despite all his pride and ego, he cried for not being there to defend her, for the fact that she despaired of him ever coming to save her, for letting her down, that just...I don't know, that really made an impression on me.

I doubt the deepness of their affection because they only had a few brief days together on Kyoshi Island, much of which was spent fighting, with maybe a hint of attraction thrown in. Fact is, I honestly never even saw her as a romantic prospect until I started lurking on message boards. Yue was Sokka's first, IMO. I had no doubt in my mind about Yue and Sokka's feelings for each other. And then, okay, you have the Serpent's Pass, but I figured Sokka was still reeling over Yue because he didn't want Suki to get herself into any trouble.
Ehhh... it just seems to be missing a lot of details.

kaibasgirl: Of course he would cry. He thinks he's failed two of his love interests. And yes...I know...Sokka didn't cry for Yue per se...but they did have a deleted scene in The Avatar State with Sokka and the moon....eh... never mind. TT_TT Anyways I just remembered something. Have you ever guys seen Rurouni Kenshin's Samurai X? Or read the manga Rurouni Kenshin? Well, people say it's impossible to love someone after they've killed your love interest, but that's not true! In Rurouni Kenshin a woman named Tomoe, fell in love with Kenshin after knowing that he slew her fiancé; and if you've seen The Last Samurai, that lady fell in love with Tom Cruise's character, after knowing he slew her husband. XD Okay thought I just throw that in there. If Suki does die, Sokkla's not totally out of the picture. XD Daydream: I'm with you, I believe that Yue was Sokka's first love; and it was proven in the Swamp that he did love her. Despite being in only three episodes, we saw how Yue and Sokka's attraction for each other grew, unlike with Suki/Sokka. Even in the Serpent's Pass where Sokka/Suki were sorta solified, there was Yue. He couldn't kiss Suki in front of the moon. He kissed her in the morning/noon where the moon was not visible.

daydream, yeah, it did lack a lot of development. I guess they just expected us to fill in the pieces, like with the Maiko in "The Awakening" ><
Maylene, LOL. It was just unexpected to me, that's all. Like in "Sokka's Master" when he said he wasn't worthy of having the sword, a lot of people were surprised at that too.
I've seen Rurouni Kenshin a couple of times, but I haven't really followed the anime or manga. I can't see Sokka falling for Azula with the knowledge that she killed Suki. He would kill her first T__T
Also, in those two cases, it was women who fell for the murderer.

I expected it; it's only natural that he would cry. Azula puts people through a lot of crap, particularly through the mind and others' emotions; that much is obvious.

kaibasgirl: Now now now, what happened to, "Anything you can do, I can do better?" XD and yes they were women, but in Tomoe's defense she was with Kenshin in the beginning to aid his demise. But then she saw his good side, and unwillingly fell in love with him. After all, we can't choose who we fall in love with, right? Daydream: Azula's one of many charms are making men cry. Remember with Chan? lol

Am I the only one who was surprised that he cried? T___T
Maylene, XXXDDDD! Oh, touché, my dear. Yes, woman are better able to do whatever a guy can do, but I find a lot of times they're stereotyped in literature. Especially when it comes to things like love, a lot of times they're portrayed as emotionally weak ><+
MsJimmy! (I just realized I was spelling your name wrong all this time O__o)
No, NOT like that. She would not look like she just had the crap beaten out of her! No. It would be waay more romantic then that.

We didn't mean with all dignity lost. Azula's one of those people that dignity would never, ever be taken away from her, regardless.

I'm literally laughing out loud. It's hilarious. It would seem MsJimmy was more for hardcore, while Kaibasgirl was more subtle. XDDDD
Kaibasgirl: Yes women are portrayed emotionally weaker, but that doesn't mean they are. A woman's love can just be very passionate, that when their lover does something like cheat on them, hurt them, they're hurt. It's hard to explain....I'd have to delve into Inuyasha/Kikyou.
edit
MsJimmy: Don't go! I knew what you meant, but seeing the pic was sorta a turn off to what we were talking about earlier!

*laughs* You people are starting to act like sisters, srsly. Oh! My aunt described that perfectly Thanksgiving Day: "It doesn't matter if you allow the guy to have your love or not. When your heart is in it, whether you like it or not, he can either break it or strengthen it." Or something along those lines. ^_^;;

MsJimmy, yes, I'm blonde oblivious like that sometimes ><
Don't go though! I got what you mean, but it's just...she looked so beaten up and...that's just not how I imagined...come back! Please come back! T__T
Maylene, I know, I'm just saying that that's how women are stereotyped most of the time. You just don't read to many stories where it's the guy who's emotionally weaker, that's all.
