I'm almost positive I will never like the live action as much as the animated series, the most I can hope for is a decent flick with great production values. And yes, they totally should have gone for zutara :( Glad you liked my opinion.

Dislike the actor choices for the live-action films, but that may be because I just have this idea of all the characters already set in my mind... Will be odd watching it with different voices and interpretations from the actors, though. I was holding out for Zutara and nearly cried when she ended up with Aang, which really puts my obsession into perspective... :D Only just stumbled across this post via Google Images, and I love it – the insight is great plus it actually puts into words why I love the series so much.

In fact the comments I love the most is when they're on older posts of mine! And I do value other people's shippings =) There are few Korean influences as I mentioned above, and it is animated by Koreans, but I know there are lot of Japanese, Chinese, Tibetian and surely others like from Inuit and even Australian (lol) influences. They really did a LOT of research and it shows. And yea...Aang with Katara :( how typical is that...sif girls like Katara will go for a kid like Aang irl amiright =D Oh don’t you worry about the post date.

I came across this article in an image search. Then I started reading it...then I started screaming, 'I KNOW, RIGHT?!' until people told me to stop. I really appreciate your opinion of this show, especially the mature, sensible way you regard the shippings. It's really a shame...Katara doomed to a strange, puppy-love based romance with Aang. I mean, we know he's the Avatar, but he's also a kid, much more so than Katara. : ducks rocks : Thank you for pointing out the Korean influences in this cartoon. It's such a strange thing, conceived by Americans and animated by Koreans, but I feel it's the best thing to come out of Nickelodeon in a long time. I'm really looking forward to the movie; so I can see a different view on Bryke's ideas. I love delving into the little details, especially costume design.
