    A missed opportunity, essentially that betrothal necklace ties Zuko and Katara together ;)

    It could be that part of the reason she was so hostile towards him was because his betrayal broke her heart.

      finally someone who gets it, it seems like everyone believes after one moment of firendly talk and closeness between the two, they are have taken an oath to be forever loyalty to each other. The one Zuko really betrayed was his uncle not Katara.

      Right? I see many people said that Zuko & Katara would be a toxic relationship, but Katara would not make it toxic. They are referring to Zuko. They think he’ll poison the relationship which is very unlike him. I’m just tired of people dragging Zuko into the mud in order to downplay Zutara

      He did horrible things. Burned down Kyoshi Island. He did try to capture Aang on numerous occasions. He did betray not just Uncle Iroh in Crossroads of Destiny but whole world. And let us not forget Zuko sent a dangerous assassin after team avatar. Assassin who could have easily killed them. Zuko himself admitted that he made bad choices. And team avatar was very angry when Zuko showed up in Western Air Temple.
      His actions in Crossroads of Destiny are especially inexcusable. Zuko saw what his nation did on his travels around the world, he saw Kataras pain, he knows Azula lied to him in the past. And yet he still chose to get back to life of luxury as a prince, and in his fathers good graces. Father who burned his face and never treated him well in the first place.
      And you have to understand the victims perspectives. If I had to face a deadly assassin, it would not make any difference to me whatsoever whether the person who sent an assassin a conflicted antagonist or not. I will view this person as monster.

    I think the way Katara viewed Zuko is the same way many fans view Azula. It is understandable. Given what she said and did. But if you look closely you can see why she turned out this way, and you can see that there is spark of tenderness behind her cold facade. Zuko wants to redeem Azula. If I was in Zukos place I will not abandon my sibling.
    Point is that things are not always as they appear. Katara first saw Zuko as just a bad guy. But then when Katara matured and got to know Zuko better, she saw that there is more to Zuko than just a bad guy. The same with Azula.

    Considering that 'Zutara' ship makes waaay more logical sence than 'Kataang', would it be posible to maybe rewrite at least some moments in book 3 to make that happen? Like picture this: we completely rewrite te majority of episode 2, so that cave dance thing doesn't happen. Then in the episode 'The beach' not only do Zuko and May broke up at that point, they stay appart for the majority of the season, instead just geting back together (try to imagine that campfire scene without May, because she chose to wander some place elsewhere). Then in the 'Ember island players', Zuko and Katara could grow consistently even closer, while Aang is being constantly pushed away by Katara. Then in the final four episodes, we remove the lion-turtle creature and mater-bending (because they are nothing more than a 'Deus ex machina), and alow Aang 'somehow' to grow even further. Yeah, as you can see, some big chainges are gonna need to happen to remodel the cannon a bit.
    Maybe we can even add some more episodes for bigger chance for Zutara to develop, and them being in the final scene 'kissing'.

    They have so different personalities katara lost her mother
    Zuko find her mother alive
    Aang literally care for everyone but he understand he can't take the airbenders back
    Katara want revenge for her mother and she understands if she take the revenge her mother doesn't come back to life literally katara and zuko isn't the best duo in Atla and with some words is not even top 5
    I don't talk romantic but katara and aang is way better writing together they had development together and everything together
    Katara with toph also they had deep relationship not like zuko
    Katara and aang Is much better than zuko and katara as duo because and our personalities and their moments isn't enough but nice videos but is wrong

    You’re seeing romance where there isn’t. She was personally hurt because Aangs the worlds hope, for the war to end, and for the fire nation to stop being a threat, and after seasons of him trying to take that hope away, she trusted it could end, that he could stop being a threat and that there was more to his “villainy” than what we all thought at first. She thought he played the victim just for her to lower her guard so he could get to Aang, and that because of her being open to forgiveness she could have lost Aang. She thought he had tricked her and because she believed in him, it could have costed her Aang.
    People just like to ship them because he was the bad guy and girls (kinks) like bad guys and forbidden relationships, plus when he let his hair grow he became more appealing, bet if he would have kept that awful pony tail they wouldn’t be shipping him with zutara, despite his redemption arc. I don’t think his change of hairstyle was a coincidence, it is a fact that even in movies they try to cast good looking people so they can get as many people as possible to watch the film.

    I understand Zutara being popular but I honestly like and prefer that they didn't end up together. It's nice to see two characters form a bond and develop a loving relationship that ISN'T romantic. People should learn to grow and relate to others without sex being involved.

      I agree and I don't think by the end of the show they would even consider each other. For me this wouldn't have come until far into their adult lives they were always a slow burn atleast for me. Had Aang and Katara not become the canon.
      To me over a culmination of becoming friends, and growing closer, and denying growing feelings. Then they would want to be together.
      I didn't really want the show to end with the couples wrapped up. If Toph's final line was the way they closed the show it would have been just as amazing.
