Kataang analysis: Cave Of Two Lovers
One of most beautiful chapters of the series, unfortunately has been misunderstood or take out of context for many stupid people (zutara shippers and anti kataang people), in this analysis i will show the evidence to refute about anti kataang arguments.
First, let’s meet the writer of this chapter:
Joshua Halmiton
(Before you idiots tell me “Joshua say in the biblie zutara was planned”, is a lie, read the biblie here, and you will know the truth)
In Braving Element when Janet Varney (the Voice of Korra) ask him about the story of the chapter he was writting, Joshua answer this:
“When i was first pitching it, it was like some hippie nomads that were going to be a kind of help to Sokka. These guys were more about enjoying the journey.
Mike and Aaron and you know:
“I like the story but i feel like there has to be more.” You know the labyrinth in the tunnels and i think we needed to introduce the earth bending in the badger mold.
That felt like a story to me and you know i was young, they said no we need this, there should be another story in it. And i think also when we were in the tunnels, when i pitched it, they got separated and When I pitched it, that was they got separated and Aang And Katara ended up together and that’s sort of like we gotta push the love element of it.
To push it even further, they said, there should be a legend in there, i don’t remember who came up with it, I’m going to say it was me.”
1- Many idiots say the story of two lovers was for zutara, but (again) is a lie, Joshua confirms the two lovers was to make stronger Kataang.
2- Joshua was not forced write the Kataang moment, he already say it “And i think also when we were in the tunnels, when i pitched it, they got separated and When I pitched it, that was they got separated and Aang And Katara ended up together and that’s sort of like we gotta push the love element of it.”
He pitched the idea of Aang and Katara having a romantic moment.
3- When he say “we gotta push the love element of it” definitely show Aang and Katara have a romantic connection. (The meaning of push the love element of it is it means that you want to emphasize or highlight the love story in the plot. In this context, it refers to the romantic relationship between the characters Aang and Katara in the Avatar: The Last Airbender series. By “pushing” or giving more importance to the element of love, you seek to further develop and explore that relationship in the story).
Now about the romantic moment, look:
Many imbecile say Katara didn’t show any romantic feelings for Aang, so let’s see her dialogues.
Katara: I have a crazy idea.
Aang: What?
Katara: [Hesitant. Walks away, slightly embarrassed.] Never mind. It’s too crazy.
We can see she has a idea to get the cave but she was embarrassed and hesitant to say it, let’s see why?
Katara I was thinking ... the curse says we’ll be trapped in here forever unless we trust in love ...
Katara say trust in love is the only way to get out the cave, so she is thinking the love is the solution, so that show she is in love with Aang.
Katara [Turns to face him and gestures to the portrait.] And here, it says, “Love is brightest in the dark,” and has a picture of them kissing.
Katara is points out the picture of the lovers kissing, so she is saying the only way to show our love is kissing, is indirectly saying she want kiss Aang (And the poor Aang don’t understand she is saying “I want kiss you”)
Katara [Shyly, blushing.] Well, what if we ... kissed?
Is obviously, she was worried how Aang would react her idea and she want Aang agreed to kiss, and she was hoping to kiss him.
Katara [Fake-jokingly.] Us kissing. What was I thinking? Can you imagine that?
Come on, who you pretend to lie? Is very obvious you want Aang say “yes I want kiss you”
(And for all idiots say Katara didn’t want kiss Aang, when Aang say “I definitely don’t want kiss you”, look her reaction)
Katara [Insulted.] Oh, well! I didn’t realize it was such a horrible option. [Angrily.] Sorry I suggested it!
We can see she is hurt and angry, why? Because Aang don’t reciprocated her romantic feelings, she expect Aang want kiss her back. She want kiss him and get angry when Aang say no.
After that, they have their moment when finally they kiss
And we have two things to see about their romantic relationship:
a)
We can see Sokka looking her sister very suspect, he is not fool, he know what they do to get out the cave.
Aang’s gaze towards Katara may indicate that he has romantic feelings towards her and is looking for a connection or a response from her. Sokka’s crossing of his arms may be a sign that he has also noticed the romantic tension between Aang and Katara and may be protecting his sister or showing some discomfort with the situation. Katara’s blush suggests that she may also have romantic feelings for Aang and that the attention he is giving her makes her feel embarrassed or excited.
b) Now we have this:
Chong.
Meanwhile the moment Aang look Katara and she blush, Chong sing this:
Even if you’re lost, you can’t lose the love because it’s in your heart. Da, da, da ...
“Even if you’re lost”: Even Aang and Katara are confused or having bad moments.
“You can’t lose the love”: They never will loose their romantic feelings, their love to keep going.
“Because it’s in your heart.”: What Katara feels for Aang and viceversa is in their hearts and is truly that love, with that they get out the Cave of Two Lovers and suprass the problems.
The Chong song describe Aang and Katara feelings.
I hope you like it.
