    I still prefer Kataang, because I can't imagine Aang and Katara ever drifting apart when Katara is the one person he could not let go and Katara's life truly began because she met him and he is basically the light and joy in her life.

    Konietzko, for his part, suggests a great awareness: “There were plenty of Makorra shippers out there, so if we had gone back on our decision and gotten those characters back together, would that have meant we caved in to those fans instead?....Trust me, I remember Kataang vs. Zutara.”
