I had to have a bit of a laugh last night... I was watching the Disney movie Tinker Bell...as we probably all know 'Katara' (Mae Whitman) voices the title character...but she's probably the only fairy in the story that gives a toot about a pretty-boy, solitary fairy named Terrence...who's voiced by Jesse McCartney...so, in a way, 'Katara's' been involved with both 'Zukos' in another fictional world (being the romantic interest to Dante Basco's Jake Long for the few who don't know). It's almost like the universe is trying to say something

And there's no way they could have avoided the shippers wars at all...even if the show had absolutely no romance in it a certain percentage of the fandom would have created them anyway. If you're lucky, you'll get the One Piece effect where there are lots of ships and shippers but not a single war. Ever. (Of course, it helps when the creator says awesome things like "They're in love with... ADVENTURE!" XD) Unless I see Basco eating a blue popsicle, I pass no judgment on that. Yet.

Well, Basco and Whitman have worked together a lot. They're good friends. Eisen, of course, is still a kid, so he won't be involved as much in voice-over work (though I worry Nickelodeon's about to attempt to throw him against the Hannah Montana crowd and see if he sticks. Yikes.).

They'd have to be Zuko and Aang chia-pets...they're the only ones whose hair changed dramatically. And there's no way they could have avoided the shippers wars at all...even if the show had absolutely no romance in it a certain percentage of the fandom would have created them anyway. Uh....how'd we get into the discussion of Chia Pets??? Very true about the shipper wars.

'Cos it's less aggressive and more fun to talk about chia-pets? No blood has been lost over chia-pets...at least not that I know of...

It would be depressing if there had been....
Anyway, shipper wars do get out of hand. Look at Twilight. There's STILL Team Jacob stuff floating around and his TRUE LOVE is Bella and Edward's BABY. That's about as weird as it gets...
I'm not looking forward to shipping wars when my writings get published. Just trying to imagine Jacob and Hana together makes me sick to my stomach...
I pretty much ship canon. Or implied so-close-you-almost-rip-out-your-hair stuff. But the darn Zutarians on this website made me love the ship... to the point where I didn't really care one way or another. I'm glad Katara and Aang ended up together though, at least the show made one ship canon.
This Zutarian project intrigues me, however. They got Dante Basco involved? Wow. I think they're taking it a little too far. Fanfiction and fanart is good enough for the rest of the world! Why can't it be for them too?
Personally, I got my Zutara fix from American Dragon. All the Zuko/Katara-ness, no Aang, and they were canon.
Subject-bouncing rant over.

Eh, I say let them do what they want. It really is all in good fun. I look forward to seeing the finished product - should be interesting to see the thing made by (somewhat) amateurs. Who knows? If the animation and stuff's good, I'll watch it and probably love it.

I'll probably laugh my face off, even if it is really good.
Although, you've got to give them credit for actually getting the real voice of Zuko instead of getting some really lame girly-sounding guy to do it or something.
