nandireyaLol. Need to clarify something since I'm not exactly sure what's making you so miserable about the upcoming season 3. You're miserable with Zuko siding with his family and the Fire Nation AND because he's apparently going out with Mai, right? In order of misery-inducingness... At number 3...that is, the least misery-inducingness...the M word (not using it anymore) At number 2...Zuko being on the Dark Side And at number 1...the most misery-inducing part of season three for me thus far...the rift between Zuko and Iroh These were the three things I didn't want to see in season three (well...there was the fourth of Zuko going back to his butt-ugly season one hairstyle, but that one was pretty minor)...and all three were front and centre in the trailer... If it weren't for the search for Ursa I'd have stormed out of the fandom by now...it's the only thing that gives me even the slightest, miniscule iota of hope...wonder how the writers will mess that up for me

Yeah, Zuko betraying Iroh wants me to kick Zuko's Equus asinus. Am still hoping that Iroh gets rescued or something, maybe by the Gaang or perhaps by that Secret Society he's a Grand Master of.
I don't even want to cater to the possibility of Iroh not surviving Season 3. ;-:
As for Zuko being on the Dark Side... XD I don't believe in light or dark, just shades of gray.
As for Maiko, am a multi-shipper at heart and just try to enjoy or at the very least get by whatever ship canon tosses out at its viewers.
---
Hmm... you know... now that I've considered it carefully - I should be more upset with Zuko for betraying Iroh. XD Still, honestly though - I'm just feeling so hyper about the upcoming season. Yeah, Zuko's upcoming interactions with Iroh will probably make me feel bleah, but there's also a LOT of other things I'm so looking forward to.
For one thing, I wanna see young!Roku getting into his Avatar groove. <3 <3 <3 And I wanna see that beach episode! And I wanna see Teo in a tank, and (goes on and on and on).
Yes, this is me trying to cheer you up! Lol! C'mon, think positive! There's a lot more to happen in Season 3 than Zuko and his angst. XD

It's hard for a Zuko fan to be excited...the rest of it doesn't interest me nearly as much...

Though this is completely off topic concerning the thread, Iroh did actually betray Zuko if you think about it.

Yes, I know...I totally agree...they betrayed and hurt eash other...but only Zuko gets flack about it. I don't know how the writers are gonna fix it and that makes me a sad Nandi...
And yes, we're getting off-topic...as a mod I suppose I should do something about that...

I wouldn't say it was the winner...there's no winner until the season's over...but even those of us who despise it with the fury of a thousands suns have to accept it as a canon ship... Well it's definetely winning Yea, and no matter what ship The creators pick it'll make that ship's enemy ships Miserable How??? Because Iroh didn't support him no matter what his decision was?

As for Ana, what I meant is that even if Zuko and Mai do kiss and they become canon, it doesn't mean that will be their final pairing and they'll get married and have children. Well then, I can agree with that. As I've said, since Maiko hasn't started yet you can't Mai will be the Fire Lord’s wife and give him tons of heirs. At number 3...that is, the least misery-inducingness...the M word (not using it anymore) I’m sorry but isn’t that a bit...dramatic? I know you don’t like Maiko at all but Avatar is written by good storytellers. Even if people don’t like to admit Maiko has at least decent groundwork and the actually development of the ship could be a lot better. Even if it isn’t you can still ship or not ship Zuko with whoever you want. In my time in fandom, canon has never stopped people before.

No...because he sided WITH the Avatar AGAINST his beloved nephew and homeland...at least that's how Zuko would see it...especially after Azula convinces him...
You do realise it's (mostly) an act, right? Yes...I don't like it...and I can't see anything the writers can do to make me like it. I just don't think they're a good or interesting match. It's a personal opinion. There's been plenty of couples in shows and comics that I haven't liked and never grew to like...the M word will just be another one on that list...

Actually fandom will make the 'enemy ship' miserable not the creators. I've called M+B jerks elsewhere (and only because I love them ) but no one (not even Maiko) can't be excluded from their jerk-ery; they however, if they're smart, will not alienate any part of fandom by making them 'miserable'. Fans do it themselves.

I'm past the anger and the misery...I'm just not interested much at all anymore...hence my change in banner from depression to apathy...
The more I hear about season three the less interested I become...I'm almost to the stage that I don't know if I'll even bother to download and watch the premier...I'll just wait until it hits Aussie screens a year or so from now...or maybe I'll watch my already pre-ordered DVD when it arrives...
Of course, they may surprise me...maybe all the worst-case scenario stuff I've seen or heard is only a miniscule amount of what will actually be seen...but it's darn hard for me to raise myself out of apathy...far harder than cheering myself out of misery...
And on that note...I'm off on a three-day mini-holiday...maybe there'll be something to get me out of the doldrums when I get back...

Well I wasn't referencing you in particular, but more of the implosion that happened to Zutara after the S2 finale. They might have not been miserable (on the whole) they just weren't happy either.
And I also know that the shipping is one small thing for you; you just don't like where Zuko's character is head either (even though the end result has been hinted at before..)

Well I can sure say that Maiko will be the only pairing I will be seeing in this, the fact is, age difference seems to be too much of a reason why Zutura seems too popular among the fan base, no offense but it seems that most hardcore fans tend to stick to the truths of having someone who is the same age or by one year off, well in this case I follow that most fans would see it as it not having to worry about it.

Well...that would count out just about everything but the M word and Suki/Sokka (can never remember what that's called)...just about everything else has a two year age difference...

After seeing the season 3 trailer something came to mind. We've seen Mai crush on Zuko when they were younger but we don't know their connection before his banishment. For all we know, they could have been together when Zuko got banished. It would also clarrify why Mai simply smiled instead of blushing at the thought of meeting Zuko agian in "Return to Omahu".
