I won't stop watching. But if the show turns out with the obvious, cliche, dumbed down, super-happy Kataang ending, I've dreaded since episode one, after the writers had the nerve to say, "Expect the unexpected." ;D I call we petition for their public flogging!

Of course, if you're expecting that that ending will not happen, then expect that your expectations will not be in the outcome. Savy?

I've been trying to figure this out forever, when have the creators ever said "expect the unexpected"?!?!

^ i don't think they've ever said that I won't stop watching.

Well then, i guess u want Azulaang and Zuko/Ty Lee, since Zutara would be just as cliche, dumbed downed, and super-happy as any other pairing in the show

Just to come to lunauc's defense, A) He's not much of a Zutara shipper and B) Look at his sig .

Guys, please discuss nicely. This seems to be getting a little heated.

I don't mind Kataang. I just don't want to see it done in the boring cliche, super happy disney ending, where "Love is the one power that defies all logic and physics and makes the hero super powerful to save the day, even though all his efforts before could do nothing. Because smoochies are Eternal!!" That.... is what I can't stomach.

Ditto. I'm not against any certain ship, I'm just against potential bad endings...
At least the fight scenes will still be cool though. I'll watch for those if for nothing else.

ditto. Kataang is fine (though I'd prefer to see Zutara fulfilled) with me and I wouldn't stop watching if my ship didn't happen.
I'd just be immensely disappointed if it turned out so predictable and super-happy as described above.. then again, it wouldn't be the only anime series which kinda petered out at the end and left dissatisfaction in its wake. if it did, of course, turn out predictably and cliche.
oh my. my thought processes are hard to organize ahaha...

I just weighed in on this on another thread a couple days ago, so I'll do it again.
I can't support Kataang right now because the creators have made him such a little kid. He's far too young for anything but a crush. Of course he has matured over season 2, but he still seems quite young. I could see something happening in about 4 years. Right now she's such a mom with him it's hard to think romantically about them.
Zutara is the classically romantic pairing because they are enemies and they are opposites. They're also both hot as someone earlier said. And he's taller than she is, which is a plus. But I don't think it would have to be a cliche. And I don't think it would turn the show into a soap opera because there are so many other things going on it wouldn't be the main focus all the time even if it happened early enough to matter. And as others have said, it's really pretty unlikely considering how screwed up Zuko is and what a jerk he's been. Kinda far-fetched considering they only have 20 episodes to do it in where it doesn't seem like a fanfic veer.
But the writers are so good, they can make just about anything work. Somebody earlier said they got upset at the Zutara teaser. I was bugged (not as badly as you it seems) by the Kataang teaser for Co2lvrs, but when I saw the show, I felt like it all fit together and I didn't mind it at all.
Now, keep in mind that maybe there won't be any real pairing at all, just a quick hint for an unseen future at the end.
Also keep in mind that Sokka's big love, Yue, popped up in the third to last episode of season 1. Perhaps Katara's "powerful bender" will be a newcomer. I could buy it and accept it if it were introduced well.
I'm only really talking about Katara pairings since that's the way this thread is headed, although there are so many more to love and hate.
I have to say it will turn my stomach when they tease Maiko. I will watch that episode through my fingers because I despise that pairing like you wouldn't believe. I can't imagine a more morose, self-absorbed couple. However, Co2Lvrs taught me to keep an open mind, so I'll try.
But I trust the writers so even if they hurl *shudder* Maiko *shudder* at me, I will watch. If it stinks and they keep with it, I'll stop.

Oh Maiko. Completely forgot about that pairing. I think I might stop watching if they go there, too.
I feel sorry for Mai though. She's liked him for so long! There's just not any good storylines to spark off that pairing...

The only relationship I'd end up turning off the tv for would be Sokka/Katara or Zuko/Azula...EEEEWWWWWW! Inest people freak me out!
Otherwise, Aang could end up with Momo for all I care (ok maybe not...but you get the point)

^Amen to that. Appaang...lol
Seriously guys, the point of this thread is just to see if anyone would quit watching if their ship didn't happen. Not to dog on other people's ships. So please, everyone, CHILL OUT.
