Well I'm biased on Kataang but Katara would probably be more sympathetic towards him, but Mai knows Zuko better and is more alike to him (his emoness).

Even if I wasn't a shipper, I would more than likely choose Katara. She, IMO, is just what a person with Zuko's personality needs.

She's what any person need no matter what their personality- she's powerful, beautiful, strong, kind, and perfect. That's why the hero gets her as his love interest and fell in love with her at first sight. Zuko gets a realistic girl whom he has to love in spite of her faults.

Wow, this thread has been dead for awhile... Anyways, I don't see Katara as being "perfect", nor do I see Mai as being more "realistic". They grew up in completely different worlds and their personalities were affected by that. Katara was raised in a small tribe that had nearly been wiped out and lost her mother when she was young, which made her grow up sooner than most girls her age. Mai basically grew up in the lap of luxury, although she was unhappy because she had no say-so in her own life nor was allowed to express herself. Both seem about as realistic as it gets. And it's not about Aang getting Katara as the love interest because she's all those wonderful things---if he got her because she was perfect then it narrows her character down to nothing more than a trophy. I don't want to see Aang end up with Katara because he deserves her, I'd rather see them end up together because they're a perfect match. Same with Zuko, I'd rather see him with Mai because their personalities are perfect for each other, not because a relationship with her would make Zuko work to be a better person. You get what I'm saying?

^ I think their personalities (the way they clash at times and the way they match at others) *are* perfect for each other, and that Mai could make Zuko work to be a better person; she's the first person to tell him off for being crazy and angsty.

What are you talking about? Mai is pretty... and Zuko isn't hot. I think Mai and Zuko have a lot in common, but Katara and Zuko do too.

That's very true. When you think about it more, their personalities are just tailor made. And Zuko's the only person who can get Mai to smile. That says a lot.

As of the finale, Mai and Katara have both threatened Zuko, except Mai warned him never to leave her, and Katara threatened him over another guy. I love Mai and Zuko as a couple, and I love to watch Katara and Zuko fight over Aang.

I'm a Zutara fan myself *duh*, so I voted Zutara. But I do kind of support Maiko deep down. I like Mai. I like her a lot. I think she's a really cool character, and when put next to a hothead like Zuko, it's fairly amusing to watch her have little to no reaction to things that make Zuko... well, burst into flames per se. I don't know. I don't think their relationship was explored enough for me to like it - it came off a bit boring to me, which is sad because they're such interesting characters. I guess I kind of liked just the fiery fights between Zuko and Katara and their relationship more. Still, I have plenty of respect for Maiko fans.

Why isn't there a 'neither' option? I dislike them both with almost equal intensity...

I know your feelings about Maiko, but since when do you hate Zutara?

My thing with Maiko was always that I saw the appeal, and I understood why people liked it...
But it was so...flimsy. D:
The dialogue was cheesy, and there was so little covered in the season. And it really bothered me they didn't show Mai and Zuko getting together in the show, but in the comic strips. =/
That's just a no-no for me. XDD;;
