Dante Basco to voice Zuko in an online "Zutarian Finale" project

This...is exactly what I thought.

Meh, well, good for those guys for getting Dante in their little project. Might be amusing, but I won't be the one watching it. :sweat:
 
Wow, you mean fans can change the endings of any show or movie they obsess over? If this catches on, I predict a rash of poorly-acted, poorly-written YouTube downloads that end with the line, "Frankly, my dear, I DO give a damn." :p

Although, really, you'd think those poor deluded Zutarians would save their money and time and just watch "The Ember Island Players" episode over and over. True, it isn't "canon", but at least their off-kilter fantasies got acknowledged...
 
As I've stated before, some people consider the actual pairings to be illogical because they lack the sterotypical rules of romance. Aang/Katara for instance isn't well received because Aang while tough isn't your typical meat eating macho man. Heck, unlike most guys in fiction, he's capable of expressing an interest in romance rather than being disgusted by it.

As for Zuko and Mai. Once again, sterotypical rules state that the prince must go for the girly girl character. Mai, while not ugly doesn't fit that trait.
 
Hell hath no fury like a fangirl scorned.


Not to mention the age difference. I'm no Zutarian, but if they just left it at that hug I would not have been squicked.
 
that's the first real piece of evidence I've seen where the most logical and striaghtforward interpretation is that katara likes aang.

I could also be an ass and say that katara could be protecting aang from getting too close to someone he'll probably never see again, hurting them both. :P

But if we had more moments like that, the ending would have not been so awkward and hard for many to take(although some would still be acting the same way).

The most we ever got from katara is blank, unsure "why'd he do that" looks from katara after aang forcibly kissed her twice, and saying that she was confused, which I take as her never really having thought about being in a romantic relationship with Aang until that moment.

In short, everyone's problems with season3 could have been solved by Zuko joining earlier and less spending so much valuable time on pointless crap. :P
 
Dear lord, I came here to avoid the ship wars. Why can't people just be rational about this?

I have my opinion on it, but clearly everyone is just seeing what they want to see. I believe the academic term is "textual poaching": you take what you want from a work and ignore the rest.
 
That's the main reason I never signed up at the Avatar fan forums. Too many shippers. Here, there's a lot less of them. The Comic Book Resources forums generally have fewer of the shippers there. The rep for the Avatar fandom at tvtropes.com is generally ok except for the shippers. In case of a person as obsessive shipper tendencies, I wish they remember the MST3K Mantra.
 
You're assuming there was someone in charge. The project consisted of a website open to all comers, and almost everyone who signed up consisted of underage b& holding up scrawled pieces of nonsense and asking "am I important now?" It was no mystery as to why we never got anything done.

In the vacuum, we occasionally had to suffer the crimes against animation inflicted by an egotistical amateur, and every one of his appearances riled the team into a momentary spell of activity before it all died away again. This individual made the occasional visit to tease us as to our lack of activity, and frankly he had every right to, because as awful as his produce was, at least he made stuff.

After he was booted off, I made a fairly strongly-worded point that we needed to get organised into a more stringent chain of command. They rather missed the point though, since they then attempted to put me in charge in spite of having no animation experience or talent in the slightest. Having absconded my responsibility, everyone else seemed to do to the same. A few of us realised the problem but none of us had the courage or tenacity to actually step up to the plate and command. Cyberen was the most dedicated, but even he was pushing against the tide.
 
:ack:
Zuko + Katara = Zutara
Zutara + ian (like Canadians) = Zutarian

What else would call them? Zuko and Katara shippers? That's a lot to type out every time you want to refer to them.
