but I think it mostly has to do with a Thing for opposites attracting, enemies becoming lovers, and symbolism.

Yeah, pretty much. Thanks for being a non-shipper who still at least seems to get the principle. I'll admit, visually, they look good together (but visually, Aang and Katara look absolutely adorable together, so...), but it's more about potential complexity than the shallowness of it all.


111. ILU. Also, there've been elitist whinging about the film since before it was even greenlit.

Honestly, while I don't entirely get the lasting appeal of Zuko/Katara, I ship Jet/Zuko myself, so I can't really talk for crazy Avatar pairings. But then, aside from Sokka/Suki, I'm more interested in the gen interactions than the romance. So I don't get too worked up about that stuff anyway.

111. What is it about kickass complex comics and wanky elitist fans? Granted Alan Moore encourages the attitude in this case, but he's crazy. I thought everyone knew that. Oh well, I'll be over here enjoying the pretty that is the trailer.

I don't get overworked up (though there was a point where I really thought we had a snowball's chance in the Fire Nation of happening) so much either, it's just a ship I like, and I'm always a little disgusted to see the vehemence and mockery aimed at Zutarans, so it's just refreshing to see someone who's not taking that road.
And heck, I'm not even involved with the fandom outside of F!S, so I'm just glad I missed the worst of it.
I will agree, the simple gen interactions were so very well-done that it doesn't matter how hard I shipped it, it's impossible to feel disappointed by the results. Oh, Sokka/Suki, getting away with all that on a Nick kid's show. Goodness. ^_^


111. Heh, I have no idea, but the internet makes it worse. I feel like I've nearly gotten kicked out of fandom for actually prefering the movie to the comic of V for Vendetta. I'm fully prepared to like it.
Are there fans who don't know he's crazy? ...perhaps they should be pointed towards pics from his wedding...

WHile I don't agree with the bashing of Zutara, I think a lot of it comes from what happened early on in the fandom. Zutara is the larger population and I think around the beginning of the third season there was a backlash against some of the behaviors that happened earlier. I know there were references to Aang/Katara shippers as pedophiles, and everyone seemed to hate on Mai/Zuko, so to see some of the people who insulted their ship preference get turned on by canon may have seemed like sweet comeuppance to others.

I don't know it's all crazy to me, but I understood where the beginning of the backlash came from.
