Should Zutara have happened?

We're getting Katokka if the repurposed cave of two lovers is anything to go by.
They really meant it with the Game of Thrones comparisons.

lol that's what I was thinking.I mean it was bad I guess
I kind of liked that movie. It's Jumanji but in space. What kid doesn't like space?

It's a joke... I think.
In the live action series the cave of two lovers was about love in general. For Katara and Sokka is was familial love.
It was just a joke thing during Secret Tunnel where they showed Zuko and Katara scenes, but they also showed like Cabbage Man and his cabbages, too. But the Zutara fans went absolutely wild over that joke bone. They got way more cheers than the Kataang kiss in the song prior to Secret Tunnel
As for the live action Zuko seductively stroking Katara's scarf when he is sneaking around the town hidden. Netflix made a tweet about it riling fans up
At first I thought Zutara was just a movie about the board game that opens a portal to space. Had no idea it was also the name of a completely unrelated cartoon.
So weird that they did that episode without Aang in the party
With the new Avatar Animated Movie coming out (featuring the cast as adults), i wonder if there are going to have a Zuko/Katara moment in it and pepole will still not let it go
So I actually just finished watching the animated version of Avatar TV series on Netflix for the first time and have to say as for Zutara, the only answer can be no.
Like I literally don't recall anything in the show even hinting at or supporting that kind of direction. I honestly don't even understand where people are even getting it from. I think their relationship in the show ended up exactly where it should have.
I guess I'm going to have a look at the live action version now. Which part of the animated version does it cover? The whole first season/more/less?

Aang and Katara have been dating since the end of the original series, it'd be weird
Combination of the Enemies to Lovers trope people have a fixation on when it comes to shipping and that "I can save you from the Pirates" scene even though Zuko was in cahoots with the Pirates and as the one who sent them after her and her friends. lol
Live action covers the entirety of season 1 and plants some early seeds for Season 2's events. Though the weird thing there is Zuko and Katara have even less interaction in the first season there than they did in the animated version. Katara and Aang too for that matter. The writers were more interested in expanding her relationship with Sokka than anyone else. lol
Ok I see. I mean I like the "enemies to lovers" trope as much as anybody and it can be fun, but in Avatar it really really doesn't work. I mean Katara and Zuko have barely any in-person interaction until that one time where she starts to forgive him a bit and then he immediately betrays her. Then there's pretty much nothing again until the final few episodes of season 3. There's just no "there" there for me. But looking on youtube (in an incognito window mind you, don't want to fuck up my algorithm) there are apparently tons of hour+ long videos about why Zuko+Katara should have happened, so uh yeah I guess people see what they want to see even when it's just not there.
Enemies to lovers is a dynamic that has historically been incredibly popular amongst all kinds of shipping bases. It's a combination of that and Katara being easy for viewers to self-insert as when indulging in that ship.
