Re: What popular pairing do you just not get?

I never liked Zutara but I understand why it's popular. The several reasons I imagine:

-Opposites attract. Some people love these types of ships with water vs fire and the whole enemies thing.

-Katara was the girl a lot of female viewers identified with and Zuko is the hot guy they want. Not Aang.

-The potential for drama. With Aang and Katara, there's really not much drama. But with Zuko and Katara, they come from different worlds. He's the crown prince of the Fire Nation while she's a Water Tribe peasant. They're both EXTREMELY strong-willed with tempers. Thus potential storylines can be VERY interesting, with lots of intrigue, separation, sacrifice, angst, etc.

-Katara is, arguably, the most complex female character while Zuko is the most complex male (according to Mike and Bryan, he's the most complex character period). Some people find these types of characters the most interesting to explore.

-They're both very attractive characters.

I didn't ship it primarily because I always saw their relationship as sibling like, in the sense that Katara was kind of like the little sister Azula should have always been to Zuko. The finale, in particular, really reinforced this to me.

I also think it's because Zuko fits the Draco in leather pants trope and Katara is an easy character to use as a self insert

LOL

I agree. I was trying to say it more nicely with:

"Katara was the girl a lot of female viewers identified with and Zuko is the hot guy they want. Not Aang."

But...yeah...that's kind of how I see it.

This sentiment bugs me a bit because that's not why I ship it at all. But then maybe it does have something to do with why it's so popular? :/ IDK I'm glad I never really got into the fandom for this show...
