i do find KA in season 1 episode 1 to be interesting, i probably would still ship zutara over them even if they didn’t acknowledge their relationship at all in season 3, but i do generally think that a.ang sort of helping katara learn how to let loose and even be selfish for once (as in, going away to learn how to waterbend would be selfish bc of her duties, which is smthn she really needed) is a fun premise and good foundation for a ship. the opposite of where katara has to teach a.ang to be more responsible and mature isn’t the BEST given the emotional labour and the fact katara literally gets burned bc of it, but i think it could’ve been done well.
especially because while a.ang is teaching her to be selfish, he ultimately doesn’t feel good about running away with her and taking her from her family, when they didn’t say yes to her leaving. i think that was really mature of him.
but it’s the fact this trope of a.ang helping katara let loose is completely dropped in book 2 and this role is then given to toph, i think that’s where they lost me 😭 like it was already becoming more and more rare for us to see a.ang actually helping katara relax and be selfish, until it became almost entirely for toph to do this… 😭
and ultimately this is where tsr completes her arc, where her being selfish IS what drives her to complete her arc surrounding being a waterbender, losing her mom, and not seeing zuko as the face of the enemy anymore (thereby widening her perspective on the people of the fire nation, something that was already in the works in the painted lady). but what’s crazy is that it’s not a.ang who completes this arc he started for her, in fact, he’s the one who OPPOSES her… is actually crazy!
i think if i were to re-write TSR to be more a.ang and KA friendly, i would’ve made the main opposition to katara’s “revenge” be sokka. sokka IS the one who can understand katara the most, but he ultimately will never truly be in her shoes because their mother died for HER. sokka, who was always so anti-FN even when katara was more hesitant or outright went against him, him telling her that she should just move on would also be a great representation of his arc too. not to mention he represents her family, the ones who truly kept katara in this selfless loop, it would’ve been a great way to show their conflict here.
katara would turn to a.ang for his opinion, who was trying to stay out of it. he doesn’t want to be involved because this is between katara and sokka. he tells her he doesn’t want to be involved, she tells him off because he’s the avatar, that’s like the whole thing he’s supposed to do, to take action. he tells her he’s just worried something bad might happen to her. she scoffs at him, says he doesn’t trust her to protect herself? zuko chimes in, you think i won’t help her? he says no, but she’s not listening anymore. that night they leave with appa, when sokka is sleeping, and a.ang gives katara the appa whistle (which i actually don’t remember if he lost it or not but lets say he made a new one or something while sokka was doing his sword training) . he tells her he trusts her and hopes she comes back safely. he tells katara that he will tell sokka where she went and that sokka needs to accept her viewpoint of things. she hugs a.ang as a thank you and leaves.
sokka meets katara at the deck when they come back, and they hug. sokka says he was more just worried about her safety. he’s glad she’s alright. she tells sokka she chose not to kill yon rha. sokka laughs and says she probably scared the crap out of him, and leaves. a.ang tails behind zuko, zutara do their thing and katara leaves. zuko turns to aang and instead of the lesson being about revenge and pacifism, it’s about aang taking action, about doing SOMETHING. it can even call back to a.ang’s lesson with toph and can even serve as a continuation of his lessons with the guru, so instead of him having some random aside with the lion turtle and magically getting the avatar state, maybe he instead gets another chance to unlock that chakra. he trusts katara to take care of herself, that he doesn’t need to be so attached to her. he needs to accept not only her power, but also, her rejection. he doesn’t know if she can be with him forever, and he has to be okay with that.
anyway it’s bonkers to me that they set up KA to be about a.ang teaching her to be more laidback and selfish and then after they get married and have kids, she’s back to being that poor little water tribe girl who has to wash dirty socks and take care of the kids :/
so thing is with the zutara vs kataang discourse coming back up again (as it inevitably does) is that i as a neutral fan always end up feeling more convinced by the zutara fans’ arguments far more than I am by whatever the kataang fans have to say. I mean, it’s never anything new with them. It’s always “oh, you guys just ship zutara because you think Zuko is hot and you want to use katara as a self insert” or “coloniser x colonised relationship!!” or whatever. And zutara fans repeatedly debunk these arguments all while putting forward detailed analysis and pretty considerable “proof” of the pairing and. their criticisms are superior too! Zutara shippers take their time to study the show in order to explain why they think kataang is flawed, and I, again, as a neutral non shipper can’t help but be all “hmm…they got a point…”
and meanwhile you have Kataang stans hurling the same insults like kids in a playground. It’s been what, how many years? If you’re so convinced that your ship is superior, come up with better arguments!!!
its always so funny to me to watch people get so insecure about their canon ships. like if ur canon ship was so good then stick to it why do u care sm ab what other people have to say ?
figured out why k/taang bothered me as a kid.
Most children's media I watched back then was primarily directed at young boys, and atla was no different. Aang is the main character, and the center of the main romance (although this was very much not the focus of the show), which is mostly shown from his perspective. The writers also talk about it from his POV. Katara is the cute older girl who sees Aang like a little kid she needs to take care of. She loves him "like a babysitter, like a little brother". But there's the wish fulfillment; even though you’re a goofy kid, the pretty older girl likes you back. I had seen that dynamic, that perspective, in kids media over and over and over again. It was always the girl who changed her mind. And as a girl who couldn't relate, it always felt like watching her get worn down. (disclaimer: these were my feelings, I'm aware they don't reflect the writers' intentions)
K/taang, from its inception, right from the mouths of the writers, was always about what Aang wanted, his wish fulfillment. What little boys would want to see.
The difference in zutara is that it’s not a male-centered fantasy. It’s not that the girl will come around eventually, it’s that the guy has to work and change to be her friend. It's female-centric. Even k/taang fans seem to recognize this, although they view it pejoratively. “You like Zuko cause he’s hot and you project onto Katara” Look, I’m gay so no I don’t want to date Zuko, but yeah womanhood is central to Katara's arc and so I relate to her more than I do Zuko or Aang. Of course the idea that someone would change to gain your respect is more appealing than being worn down into liking someone you just previously treated like your child. And hey! Romance is wish fulfillment! I’m sorry, is that supposed to be shameful?
K/taang fans have this constant misunderstanding that zutara is shallow and so are its fans. It's all about the aesthetic appeal of Zuko over Aang. Honestly the way they talk about it sometimes smacks of misogyny. No you can’t find this relationship deep or meaningful, you just think Zuko is hot. You don’t like their dynamic or development, you just project onto Katara because you think Zuko is hot. You dont like zutara over k/taang because they’re completely different kinds of ships that appeal to different tastes, you just think Zuko is hot and Aang isn't.
Because women can’t possibly think deeply about these things, they’re shallow and insipid, obviously. Do you hear yourselves?
I like Katara and Zuko together more because k/taang reminds me of every other male fantasy I had to see women be accessories to. Katara may be her own character in the show, with an arc and development and independence, but in her romance with Aang, she's just his girl.
