The Appeal of Kataang and Maiko (Zutara vs. The Canon Pairings, 2/3)

Romance Should Be Comforting: The "Comfort" View of Romance

 

 

Lust is easy. Love is hard. Like is most important.

- Carl Reiner
 

 

At San Diego Comic Con 2008, Avatar creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko aired a short film/slide show composed of mostly Zutaran fan art, poking fun at the the idea of Zutara and giving airtime to some other pairings, too. It was the joke short Avatar Book 4: Air, Chapter 1: Forbidden Love, and if you have not seen the epic awesomeness that is the video then you must. (Please be aware some of the pictures are a little racy and might not be safe for work. Also, if you have your sound up, it's very noisy!) 

 

( I was particularly intrigued when Sokka showed up and basically said that Zutarans are doomed to failed relationships. )
