Is Katara/Zuko the biggest non-canon ship in history in terms of how overwhelmingly popular it is?

Why did it catch on so much? They don't even interact directly outside of a couple episodes, whereas Aang and Katara interacted every single episode. I think even Toph/Sokka had more canon content to work with.

Actual Influence.
Holmes x Watson was essentially the impetus for “fandoms” and “fanfiction” in general - far before Star Trek left its mark.
Batman x Robin shipping caused the end of the Golden Age of comics and the creation of the CCA - it literally shaped the entire comic industry for decades

>>149059788
to be fair, ATLA was more of the fanfiction.net era

>>149059950
Neither of those are evidence that they have a larger fanbase, just that they were early examples.

No teenage girl wants a younger bald babyfaced kid she treats like a kid brother.

This is a fucking fact. It's self insert shit from the creator.

Katara only treated Aang like a kid brother in the play which retards take as canon for some reason.

>>149059611 (OP)
Geez Zoomer. Calm the fuck down.
To answer your question, no it isn’t.
Mai was for Zuko. Katara was for Aang.
Suki for Sokka was an accident, but they made it work.

Zuko/Katara was never on the table. They even made fun of it during the Ember Island Players.

The Fire Nation killed Katara’s mother. She’s not going to hook up with a Fire Nation guy, even if it’s the remorseful Fire Nation Pronce.

>>149060043

I can't blame some anons for parroting this retardation when the creators (who didn't write zuko's arc) say this nonsense. Sometimes i wish zuko was in a different series that respected and understood his characterization

Katara/Zuko wasn't even as big as Sakura/Naruto and they were around the same time.

>Is Katara/Zuko the biggest non-canon ship in history in terms of how overwhelmingly popular it is?
No. For a Nickelodeon show sure, for ATLA most definitely. However outside of that it’s not as big as people think it is and gets mogged by yaoi ships and powerhouses like Draco/Hermione in the fanfiction space (though that could be because of overall franchise popularity).
>Why did it catch on so much?
Lots of reasons, thematically, narrative and appearance-wise they could work if given more chance and effort.
>They don't even interact directly outside of a couple episodes, whereas Aang and Katara interacted every single episode
It’s not about quantity but quality. Every scene that didn’t have them being hostile, worked to show that they do have chemistry and a romance could be formed. Katara and Aang wasted most of its time of them together, either from being mainly one-sided on Aang’s part or characterizes them in a way that shows they’re not good for each other.

>>149060987

Season 2 finale and Katara's field trip with Zuko.

Katara had better ship hooks with Zuko than she ever did with Aang.

>>149061347
Pay close attention to what Zuko says to Mai about wanting her to be passionate at the beach, and tell yourself with a straight face that Katara isn't an example of someone who fits that mold... If anything, if there is one argument that makes sense against Zutara, i would buy that a ZK relationship would struggle because they're too similar in keys aspects, namely their temperament. I Ship it yet even i can't stand the "Submissive Zuko" tropes you see in a lot of ZK fics.

>>149059788

The Supernatural ships I could believe but the Teen Wolf and Good Omens rankings are suspicious. Neither show reached the level of public consciousness to garner this popularity. There's probably two or three femautists churning out thousands of micro-posts to artificially boost their fandom's visibility. Whoever makes this chart should adjust the numbers to measure number of individual creators, not just post volume.

>>149061439
Part of why i got into is because of the banter they had in the pirate episode and the season 1 finale. Making either of them a sub in the relationships misses the point of it's appeal IMO

>>149061372
the thing that sold it was that he felt personally attacked and in a way cucked by his own characters, aang is his self-insert and he got a reality check that his waifu is better off with zuko.

>>149061347
>I just don’t see what either would see in each other beyond appearances
I don’t know… maybe because he sees someone who is like him because they share the pain of losing their mother. Maybe he likes her for how kind and trusting she is, since he lets her touch his scar the moment they had a chance to see a different side to one another. How about Katara being emotionally vulnerable and trusts Zuko enough to share her story of losing her mother in depth, which she has never done in the show to anyone before, not even Jet who she actually has been attracted to on screen. How would she not see positive qualities in someone who doesn’t judge her for feeling rage towards a monster who murdered her mother and lets her make her choices, helping to give her that chance.

>>149059611 (OP)
Because they were hot and fit together well, fire and water and all that, and the whole ending of the second season was about how Aang fucked himself by abandoning his avatar shit for Katara. Made it seem like choosing the pussy over the world was a bad thing.

>>149061360

>>149061538
careful anon, you are making too much sense for them to handle

>>149061439
>Pay close attention to what Zuko says to Mai about wanting her to be passionate at the beach
I honestly read that anger as more directed towards Iroh rather than Mai since that’s what’s troubling him in that episode. Zuko’s in more turmoil than ever and Iroh isn’t giving him any answers this time around no matter how Zuko tries to appeal to him, so he’s lashing out at any small disturbance.
>i would buy that a ZK relationship would struggle because they're too similar in keys aspects, namely their temperament.
This is the main reason why a relationship between these two would have a hard time working. They’re both incredibly high-strung melodramatic people and those personalities would inevitably lead to a lot of conflict. Somebody more serene like Aang just works better for Katara, Mai not so much, because she isn’t calm or patient per se, she just doesn’t give a shit about anything.

>>149061572
figure that one out newfag

>>149061538
>maybe because he sees someone who is like him because they share the pain of losing their mother.
By this logic, Sokka is just as eligible a candidate as Katara is. Also Katara literally shares that story about her mother with everyone. Aang, Haru and even Jet. You’re just lying here

>>149061625
I'm not saying it's not possible that he was lashing out over his guilt with iroh, but the problem i see in this logic is that Iroh was literally shunning zuko over betrayal vs Mai's general apathy being grating in a vaccum. remove the former context, and the latter would have come up regardless.
>They’re both incredibly high-strung melodramatic people and those personalities would inevitably lead to a lot of conflict.
This is a fair point, but it is also fair to point out that in one episode Zuko showed himself far more capable of resolving his spats with Katara than Aang ever did. The minute Aang's ideals clashes with her's like in the finally, he either doesn't know how diffuse it or completely loses his head and that serenity goes out the window.
>Mai not so much, because she isn’t calm or patient per se, she just doesn’t give a shit about anything.
I'll say the quiet part out loud: a lot of ZK's also shipped Jinko and/or were fine with anyone but Mai for this exact reason

>>149061325
Zuko didn't need to be changed. He redeemed himself. Or did you you just miss his whole character arc.

>>149061657
Zuko is the only person we see Katara divulge the whole story to. At least on screen.

>>149061657
>By this logic, Sokka is just as eligible a candidate as Katara is.
>because this was the ONLY logic mentioned
Yeah if you're a moron who cant into context.
>Also Katara literally shares that story about her mother with everyone. Aang, Haru and even Jet.
>Telling someone you have a tragic past and telling someone what actually happened in depth are the same thing.
See >>149061818. And no you're headcannon isn't gospel here.

>>149061657
>By this logic, Sokka is just as eligible a candidate as Katara is
Yet their field trip didn’t revolve around his mother but his father and girlfriend. Why bring Sokka into this if not to be disingenuous? If they care enough to make a romance between Sokka and Zuko, sure but we’re talking about Zuko and Katara. They had that moment in the cave, not Sokka and Zuko.
>Also Katara literally shares that story about her mother with everyone. Aang, Haru and even Jet. You’re just lying here
Did you not read the word “in depth”? This is what I’m talking about, the first 1:15 of this video https://youtu.be/qYA2i0Xv-is?feature=shared
She has never bared her soul like this to any of the boys you mentioned except for Zuko. I don’t see the need to lie when the story shows it to your face. She only makes brief mentions of her losing her mother any other times she brings the subject up, never actually detailing the event, which the flashbacks shows specifically with her sharing the entire event through her eyes with Zuko. She also does this when she was still angry with and hasn’t forgiven him. It’s one thing to do this when they’ve reconciled but another to do it when she still has her walls up around him. This speak volumes to how she trusts him enough to let him in for this when all she could’ve done was kept quiet (which I think at that point she should’ve but she did). Why wouldn’t she see something in him if she lets that happen even when she’s angry at him and of course it only goes uphill after she forgives him.

>>149061818
>Moving the goalposts
Honestly, that’s a knock against Zutara if anything. Every other time Katara explained her mother’s death to someone she spared them the gorey details because that wasn’t the point. Every other time she let someone in on this personal tragedy of hers it was to better relate to someone else’s turmoil not vent about herself. Whether that’s Aang loses his people, Haru losing his father or Zuko losing his own mother. The exposition Katara gives Zuko in Southern Raiders reads less like her being vulnerable and more like “I want you to understand just how painful that memory was for me, because I hold you somewhat accountable for it.”

Also, can we back up here and admit that Katara giving the full story of her mother’s death is more so we the audience can be on the same page as Katara motive-wise rather than anything shippy?

>>149061913
lol what? How the fuck is being super vulnerable like that a knock against a ship? I wasn't that anon you responded to btw.

>>149061983
That wasn’t Katara being vulnerable that was Katara saying “Fuck you, you’re to blame for my mom being immolated alive in front of me” Just because someone is sharing their past tragedy with you doesn’t mean they’re being trusting or vulnerable. It can just as easily be emotional blackmail.

>>149061913
>The exposition Katara gives Zuko in Southern Raiders reads less like her being vulnerable
>scene starts with Zuko suggesting Katara to rest

>Zuko tells her that her mom was a brave woman
>she touches her necklace, eyes quivered a little, tells him she knows with a hurt tone

>>149061913
I don't think Katara held Zuko accountable for it. She just used him to vent. I don't think she trusts him with that story if she truly feels he shares responsibility.

>>149061913
>>149061958
>“I want you to understand just how painful that memory was for me, because I hold you somewhat accountable for it.”
>Missing the first fucking sentence katara says before sharing: "i'm not the helpless little girl i was..."
How much context do you have to ignore to come up with this mental gymnastics? First of all, the entire point of why she was still mad at him was because she was projecting her hate for the person who killed her mom towards Zuko, they outright say it in the episode.
Second, she started sharing because he showed concern for her being tired, how does "i'm holding you somewhat accountable" even work here?
Third, her sharing specifics by default requires vulnerability. She gains nothing going into detail here.

>Fuck you, you’re to blame for my mom being immolated alive in front of me

>>149062151
I never said that she truly believed that, she’s clearly just projecting some unhealthy rage boiling within her onto Zuko and that was her venting. I never intended to suggest that Katara legitimately sees Zuko and Yon Rha as one and the same.

>>149062198

You’re not supposed to use common sense…

>>149062216
>>149062222
Like I explained before it’s emotional blackmail, she wants Zuko to feel uniquely bad about her Mother’s death because she’s mad at him. I don’t understand why you’re choosing this hill to die on, this trauma dump comes before Katara accepts and forgives Zuko at the end of the episode, she’s clearly got an ulterior motive for telling Zuko this story

>>149062235
Common sense has long left the building here jfc. Plutonium grade autism at work with this one

>>149062262
>she wants Zuko to feel uniquely bad about her Mother’s death because she’s mad at him.
And that is retarded because she already knows zuko feels bad about her mothers death, and has no ulterior motive because he is already helping her get exactly what she wants... Yon Rha. There is no hill here except the one the voices in your head made up.

>>149060839
Sakura/Naruto was a thing? He dodged bullet there.

>>149062320
If she already knows he feels bad than why not make him feel worse? She is pissed off at him and clearly in emotional distress. Just because she’s getting the revenge that she wants doesn’t mean it’ll bring her peace. (That’s kinda the whole point of that episode) The whole episode is about Katara surrendering herself to her darkest instincts so I don’t think she’s above guilt-tripping a little.

>>149062346

What’s there to understand about him other than he’s a disingenuous trolling retard who can’t possibly fathom that Katara trusts Zuko enough to share her story in detail when she could’ve easily shut him out.

>>149062414
It’s just simple emotional validation. She wants somebody to wallow along with her in misery and contempt. Don’t tell me you’ve never had somebody tell you all about how much the world has wronged them specifically in order to illicit some cheap sympathy?

>>149059887
I agree it's a bad metric. Most of the content there is under 1k words poorly written stories.
However, no, I don't really have a better metric, or any other metric at all. I just think that, as someone that used to read fanfiction for years before the massive autism took it over, I think the metric is very flawed.
Like the other anon put it, this is like going to Paheal and saying X character has more pictures. Then you check the pictures and 70% are variants of the same diaper fetish. One with cum, one with stain, one with cum and stain, and so on.

>>149060886

fanfiction was always an autistic hobby to indulge in, but if you want to compile a list of Ao3, fanfiction dot net, livejournal, Wattpad, quotev, dedicated fansites and blogs and also fanzines from fujos from back before the internet existed to determine the most popular unofficial ship of all time by all means go ahead.

Women make 90% of fanworks, especially fanfiction

It is and always has been

What's more dishonest are consumerslop
kataang shippers who actually defend kataang knowing full well how toxic and narratively defiant it was. Just because it's part of the official show doesn't mean it makes sense, especially if you bother doing a little research into how unreasonable Bryke was about Aang/kataang (self insertion is not a joke). Normies are fucking npc bootlickers.

The biggest battle was behind the scenes over Katara. Bryke was adamant and never eased off her being Aangs prize.

>>149063546
>she had zero interaction with Naruto
My memory might be faulty but Hinata's whole thing since her introduction was that she liked Naruto. And was probably the only other kid in the whole village who liked Naruto but was too shy to say anything.

>>149063693
If I ever write a Sherlock fanfic, I'm gonna make sure there's a female character that is constantly trying to solicit them for a threesome while making it blatantly obvious of her filthy fujo nature.

>>149063546
As much as Sakura was disliked she is the main heroine and his love interest. Naruto never loved Shitnata. That's what Kishimoto intended until Studio Pierrot took over.

You all pretend pick related never happened but the amount of seethe was huge. A single panel caused more butthurt than the ending.

>>149061222
>he literally felt cucked enough to introduce shitty romance in the last season
Which is why Mai will forever be worst girl

Literally just exists to cuck Katara and spite Zutara (and Zutara shippers)

>>149062601
You know, that's a good point about Zuko saying the right thing there. Zuko's got good EQ. "That's rough buddy" gets memed, but wtf are you even supposed to say to what sokka said.

>>149059611 (OP)
>overwhelmingly popular
AHAHA, IT'S BEEN SEVENTEEN EARS AND ZUTARANS ARE STILL DELUSIONAL TO THIS DAY!

They're so buckbroken, I love it.

>>149059874
The person/character that has the most drawn/CG porn, ever, is Judy Hopps.

Make of that what you will.

>>149062157
Teeth your relationship radar is way off then.
It was pretty on obviously not going end up with Zuko/Katara.
Even as early on with her error with Jet, smart viewers could tell she would never get with Zuko.

>>149065699
You clearly weren't around during ATLA's heyday. Zutara was by far more popular.

>>149064310
>t.

oh great its this fucking thread again. To all the zuturans still bitching to this day, I guarantee the original creators don't care about this as much as you believe. The world isn't a fanfic, Bryke didn't walk in like a villain and whip everyone into making kataang happen lol, no one cared enough about Zutara to push back. simple as.

btw for the mega retards calling it an ip "bible", calling it a bible won't make it more legitimate. It was an early draft/ideas that got tossed, nothing more.

Now I urge you retards to accept that it's never going to happen because when the movie comes out and it's revealed that Katara is pregnant from Aang's loads, your heads might explode.

>>149065895
Well, what are they gonna do, it's Bryke's show at the end of the day. They wrote the finale. I have no doubt there was disagreement about it internally. You have to remember that writing this show was these guys' fulltime job for like 3-4 years. They cared about this shit more than anybody.

nice thread

>>149065047
>her being Aangs prize.

Anon...

the retarded schizo can keep denying everything that destroys his cope for his two twink overlords bryan and mike, that’s not going make all the known info from people who worked on the show go away

of course he had to cope about muh ip bibles aren’t a thing. guess you dont know how tv works. the document leaked here retard.

kataang has 3 kids in korra and most people still dont give af that relationship. the movie is doa given the deifest cast, kek if you think people will tune in for that slop after bryke nuke the ip with korra

20 years of butthurt, zuutara niggers will never ever recover

>i-im s-sure there were disagreements!!! It was all Bryke's f-fault!! The voices in my head told me so!!!

ATLA is the most basic bitch hero's journey there is, of course aang was going to get the girl

>>149060136
and the fact that he grew to like each other naturally which makes sense

korra was the peak of this series
apologize

>the voices in my head
>all the people who came out of the wood work to contradict the shit bryke have said aren’t real because… i said so
Retard

>>149065895
>>149066699
You don't understand, these people think their shitty opinions will manifest into reality even if the thing in front of them says otherwise. It's like religion.

>>149066846
why are you talking to yourself still?

Zutarafags are the OG ragebaiters

>>149064127
Welp… the spammer is back kek. I’ll see yall in the next thread!

>>149066846
>people think
>shitty opinions

Just like your opinion is shit too anon :)

>>149065047
>Just because it's part of the official show doesn't mean it makes sense
This is extreme cope.

>>149066960
Put some effort in explaining why or keep sucking Bryke cock

>>149059623
It's funny how the best porn to come out of western toons is always the incest ones

>>149066984
nah

Theres no way to prove this but I was the show's writer, I ship tease various characters just to see who is more popular with the fans while keeping all posibilities open. So at the end of the series, whoever is most popular, I go with it. Katara x Zuko had fans but Katara x Aang had more fans. So the writers went with that. And its not like Zuko was mistreated. He ended up with that other girl. But that's just speculation.

>>149067005
There's an "if" there. I'm not the shows writet.

>>149067005
>but Katara x Aang had more fans.
That's cause they spent most of the show together and had the only intimate moments, so it makes sense

>>149067005
Retard alert!

People should realize how glad Katara was when she found Aang, 4-5 more years she would have to settle for Sokka and inbred babies to save her tribe from extonction

>>149067005
Wow so people on the internet will say anything like it's a fact
Also my dad worked for Sony

>>149067141
>4-5 more years she would have to settle for Sokka and inbred babies to save her tribe from extonction
Better than that mental case Zuko at least

Zuko belongs to that earth nation girl that people draw with titties

>>149067005
jesus fucking christ shut the fuck up, this shit was released 20 fucking years ago there was no sizeable social media to keep tabs on fans, no one cared who had more fans, you guys are so fucking dumb sometimes, ATLA IS NOT THE THE DEEPEST MOST COMPLEX SHOW ON THE PLANET, IT WAS OBVIOUS FROM EPISODE 1 THE HERO WOULD END UP WITH THE GIRL
FUCK

^Retard chimpout #246787
What your brain on bryke looks like KEK

Zutarafags are the only chimps here. Literally, they're less evolved than the average human.

>>149063830
>spams '20 years' over and over as if this whole board isn't people talking about dead media
>'how did they know it was me'

Zutara was the first death of the author moment for me and I wasn't even using the internet back then.

>>149066864
I see more sperging out from anti-Zutara fags in here though.

>>149067005
>Theres no way to prove this but I was the show's writer

If you were the writer why would you be "speculating"?

>>149067005

Either AI is taking over or this dude is genuinely retarded.
