Gods! I still love Zutara! Especially because it's not canon, as much as I wish it was. I'm rewatching the series and all I see is "Aang's obession" when it comes to Katara. I think he loves her because she's
A) She was the first girl he saw after 100 years.
B) He never really had a mother, so he latched ontot he first mother-figure he had. Which is Katara.
Even rewatching the series, and knowing kataang happens... I still don't see any romantic development on Katara's part! It's just NOT THERE! And on top of that, I don't see any character development on Aang's part. He's still the same. He keeps running away from his problems. Sokka, Toph, Zuko, Katara, hell even Mai! Showed character development. And my biggest pet peeve with kataang is how Aang treats Katara's lose of her mother. It's like he doesn't even care! No "I'm sorry" or "Oh, you poor dear" it's like he doesn't acknowledge it! Where Zuko does!
Aaah, I'm ranting again. Sorry.

Nah, keep preeching the truth! It;s soo true!
Btw, made this my background.. just cause..

Someone who understands... FINALLY!
Heh. People can agrue that Aang eventually acknowledges the lost of Katara's mother in the Souther Raiders, but I'm refering to Book 1: Chapter 3: The Southern Air Temple. Where Katara told Aang the first time. He completely blows her off.
Aang doesn't show much character development at all, in my opinion. He's still the same goofy kid and is pron to taking extremes when something doesn't go his way. I honestly don't see how Katara realized Aang was the one. Plus, the "powerful bender" comment is so vague, but the end, Zuko was a powerful bender. He was strong enough to be considered a master and in the beginning of the series nobody would have said that about him. Yes, Azula was going insane near the end, but he was strong enough at least to keep up with her, when before he never was. To say that the Avatar is the only one able to be considered a "powerful bender" is folly.

I am in total agreement with you! I'm actually somewhat positive somewhere in the series, Zuko was called "a powerful bender" himself. I'm not sure when and where, but I'm fairly sure. And Aang's development wasn't as full as the other characters, I agree. I wonder why they did that, if they ever noticed...
They probably did but Mike and Bryan don't care about what their fans think.
Why not?
