Yeah, ships are WAAY over-analyzed sometimes.
And definitely more action. Especially because when the show started I was so far from expecting all the "romance" (so to speak - heh) it's not even funny.

I would be quite happy if there was no romance...

lol ships definitely get overanalyzed  All the different shippers want to persuade more ppl into their ship and so look for the tiniest bit of evidence that might support their ship^^ Although i do want Zutara to happen, i also agree that as long as they dnt put too much smooching and fluff etc, its fine  i mean, compared to the rest of the series and the plot etc, too much romance just doesnt fit  it just seems like its jumping out of nowhere (i even thought the Kataang kiss was quite heavy romance considering the rest of the series lol) |

I agree that the romance seemed to come... almost out of nowhere. To be honest, though, as soon as Katara and Sokka set Aang free, I knew what the main couple would be.
(Secretly, I love Zutara. But it ain't gonna happen. No way. Heh. Not only is the bond between Katara and Aang too strong, the series just doesn't have enough time left to do any major relationship development. In my opinion, at least.)
Yeah, all the kissing really sort of confused me. I wasn't expecting it at all - I was thinking a hug would be as "hot and heavy" (so to speak) as it got.

Well, just thought I would make it official. With the release of the finale spoilers marks the end of the shipping wars. May we discuss the remaining episodes in peace.

XD Even when the show is completely over, ship wars will still continue! Except, instead of waiting for unknown episodes to air, people will be arguing the validity of the ship that's canon, and explaining why they'll probably break up the next day, etc. etc. Though, they'll probably be a little more toned down then they used to be XD |

Well, Canon!Shipping wars, anyway. People can debate on what they like and why liking another ship is wrong for all eternity.  |

Quite frankly, I didn't notice ANY shipping in 3.12. I mean this show has gotten a little messed up with shipping. I mean, in DoBS Aang kisses katara, and in the next episode she doesn't even care!

i think i see the creators p.o.v, cause if they had all these kataanginess in the episodes after that, it mean that everything else would be left out, like the fact he has to save the world. so i see the P.O.V but i do wanna see kataang fluff  they beta make up for it... |

We all know Avatar has continuation issues. Episode 3.10 Aang kisses katara. Episode 3.11 (which takes place like 1 second after 3.10) Katara is oblivious to what has just happened. Episode 3.12 Katara pretty much doesn't even talk to aang and focuses all her attention to threatening zuko. . So, basically, you get my point. |

If your point is that both Katara and Aang had more important things to do/talk about during those episodes, then I agree. |

The discontinuity is most certainly due to the fact that, after all, the show is engineered to a 9-12 yr old boy demographic. Prepubescent boys don't REALLY care if Katara and Aang talk about the kiss, their relationship, etc. If the show were meant to entertain a teenage audience, there would most definitely be a more heavy lean on the romance, aka, the Kataang kiss would have been mentioned in WAT. I mean, c'mon, a 14 yr old girl gets her first kiss amongst a life and death situation with her best friend?  Saving the world or not, the conversation would have been brought up by now if this were a teen's show, or reality... Alas, the horrors of adoring a kid's show. But I do. I love it so. |

Despite all the Kataang moments that's happened, I still believe in Zutara Zuko's joining-the-gang gives more chance of Zutara moments! Right now, it doesn't look like much, cuz Katara really feels betrayed and doesn't trust him, but after a while, when they get enough bonding and Katara sees how much Zuko has changed, there just might be a chance^^ I hope im not bashing, but i honestly don't think Kataang makes sense... To me, Katara treats Aang like a little brother and looks out for him. Even if Nick does decide to go with Kataang in the end, I still wouldn't really..well..accept the relationship... but it's only my view Don’t worry... Most people feel that way... Katara loves Aang in a motherly type way... Or like a big sister... Not in a romantic way... + he is her only hope for having a better world... A better life... Without him all hope is lost... Which is another reason she's so protective... That’s why she looks so upset and weird every time he kisses her (twice so far)… And they haven’t even talked about the kiss yet… WHY? They have had time to… If she felt the same way, then she would have confronted him with her feelings already… And clearly she trusts zuko again… She has let Aang run of alone with him to a Fire nation temple… It could have been a trap… But she let him go… Didn’t say a word… And she hadn’t freaked out when she had discovered, by a note no less, that sokka and zuko had gone “fishing”… Now there’s no contest… Zuko could take sokka… Easy… But she didn’t even look worried at all… She trusts him… Zutara will happen… |
