Animated Romance

Well, I don't have any of the season 3 dvds since I wait for the boxsets to come out. So you can't blame me for being confused about what you had been talking about. :sweat:

So, the writers imply that they won't be a couple at all? Or did they just say that they'll need to come to terms with their feelings and possible ackwardness?



Aside from Katara touching Zuko's scar and telling him she may be able to heal it (in her moment of giving him the benift of the doubt...the only nice moment the two have shared so far that we've seen)...which to me is reaaalllly stretching it as a shippy moment...I've seen no other "hintage" that implies they like each other or find each other attractive.

I don't mean to be argumentive, I'm just stating it as I see it.

If the writers do decide to dump the Katara/Aang romance that they've been building up since epsiode one in favor of doing Katara/Zuko, then that's fine (I'll be a little disappointed since I liked the idea of Aang getting the girl)...

But I wanna see build up, I want to see sexual tension, I want to see something from one of the characters that implies they've got a thing for each other.



There are fans that support Aang/Toph and Sokka/Zuko too...
 
Plus, the fact that he was just telling her his doubts that he'd live through the fight before kissing her may play a role in her reaction to the kiss...

I never thought she looked thrilled (I always felt she was suprised, a little confused, and upset because Aang took off to his potential death), that's a lot to process...especially in the middle of a war.

But they have shown throughout seasons 2 and 3 (moreso in season 3) hints that she was starting to see him in a more romantic light as well...you can't pretend that there isn't something more than friendship between them now.

Whether or not it becomes a full-blown romance is something we'll just have to wait and see about.

As for the Goliath/Elisa romance, I don't see a thing wrong with it. I see nothing wrong with romances between humans and non-human creatures that have human traits...it's on the inside that counts.

I always thought it was funny that people have no problem with human/alien pairings when the alien is nearly all human looking except for different color skin and perhaps an antenna or two...but when it comes to something like Goliath/Elisa, Beauty and the Beast (either Disney's version or the hit 1980's show), mutants (like the ninja turtles with humans), it's not as warmly welcomed.

Oh well, to each their own.
 
What?! That couple was the prime example of why Ash ships don't work. Not only is he completely romantically dead, but Anabel had no real reason to love him, and her characteristics and position from the game had to be altered in order to make it "work". It was completely pointless, just like the vast majority of stuff this show has done. :yawn:
 
Now I'm up for a good relationship in a show, but it seems as if the writers don't know how to add one into a series well. Nearly all of the potential couples in today's animated series transcend from "I like him/her, but I'm not ready to tell him/her yet", and rarely ever get to expand upon this.

The few couples I support include:

JakexRose(American Dragon: Jake Long): Ever since the first episode, we all knew that Jake liked Rose, but we never knew if the feeling was mutual, but we did, however know, that both were on opposing sides. One of the biggest fears of the show included that if Jake found out that Rose was out to destroy him, and vice versa, how would each react to their destinys?

Would Jake lose all interest in her? Would Rose slay him? What if they went together despite their paths? And worse of all, what if the Huntsclan found out about them?

All of which were answered throughout the show, and the quality, of all things, improved.

JimmyxCindy(Jimmy Neutron): If anything, for "Stranded". A bigger step towards a potential relationship in one episode than DannyxSam went through from that show's entire run.

Uh, that's it. Hmm.
 
I think the crush Panini has on Chowder is pretty funny, if only because of Chowder's constant refrain "I'm not your boyfriend!" It was especially effective in a recent ep when Chowder actually hugged Panini, then ran like hell yelling that little catch-phrase. Cute. But there is always a danger in one-sided romances in fictional media: it builds up audience anticipation, and Lord help the creator who lets his audience down. Plus it can damage characters - the one being pursued eventually looks like a cold-hearted jerk if he/she never responds, and the pursuer will eventually look like a deranged stalker. In the case of Panini and Chowder, I think I'm going to lose interest if she continues to act like a complete mental case whenever her Chosen One is around. It'd be nice if something like a friendship develops between them, and every now and then she could start flirting, or whatever passes for flirting in kids her age. And there's the fact that Chowder has no playmates to speak of. It'd be interesting if he got involved with other characters besides Mung, his wife and the big gray dude.
 
I've enjoyed those romances mostly:

Sally Acorn and Tails (Sonic the Hedgehog Sat AM)
Fox and Vixen (Animals of Farthing Wood)
Miss Blue and Scarface (Animals of Farthing Wood)
Gadget, Chip and Dale (Rescue Rangers)
 
Well, Mr. Greenblatt mentioned that Cevich? is going to be a recurring character in the second season, and that he will develop a huge crush on Panini. He mentioned that this crush will result in some friction between him and Chowder, which seems to imply that Chowder may actually like Panini more than he lets on. Whether or not Panini will gradually fall for Cevich? remains to be seen, but if she does, it could be a rather interesting love triangle.
 
A: It's been mentioned that Goliath and Elisa can't even have a birth child without socery/science aiding them. They're most likely to adopt anyway, so a Gargchild killing Elisa isn't going to happen. Even so,

B: The Gargoyles, are tough, but not bullet proof. They can be cut with a simple well sharpened sword, so they wouldn't be of the same physical might of even the Post-Crisis Superman.
 
That's actually the problem with many Zutara shippers. They tend to look at relationships in a very Ken/Barbie type way. To them, it's more about glamour rather than emotion.
 
Don't worry, it won't. Kids think romance is gross (and since that's Chowder's target audience, that's not happening).

And I'm not a fan of Ceviche's design. I'll probably grow more accustomed to it.
