Avatar Alternate Timeline: Katara Chose Zuko Over Aang

Avatar: What If Katara Chose Zuko Over Aang?

In the Avatar: The Last Airbender, there was one couple that felt like they were always meant to be: Uncle and his Tea Shop! Ok fine, maybe that’s not entirely true, but the franchise was full of some pretty amazing relationships that you just couldn’t help but root for. By the end of things, Aang wound up with Katara and Prince Zuko reunited with the gloomy Mai. Both of these couples seemed happy and as far we know, they lived happily ever after. But what if that wasn’t the case? I know I’m not the only one to see the sparks that flew between Katara and Zuko. Sure they started off as enemies, but deep down, the two are a lot alike, both coming from a tough past that included the loss of a mother at a young age. Is there enough there to suggest a potential relationship between the two of them? Well, it certainly looks like it!

Could the moody fire prince have wooed the fierce waterbending master? When could that even have happened? Today’s video will discuss a few of the biggest chances Zuko and Katara could have ended up falling in love and the fall out from each of those decisions. So go ahead and check it out, and don’t forget to hit that big like and subscribe button once you’re done! Oh and be sure to leave a comment or else I’ll go wreck the Cabbage guy’s cabbages again. Don’t tempt me! Thanks for watching CBR! Let’s get started.

"You rise with the moon. I rise with the sun"
Best line of Zuko

[unnamedgamer]

We all know the biggest couple in avatar is Iroh and Tea

[nachmanxrottenstrich]

If Katara would've healed Zuko's scar and Zuko would've joined the group earlier, he would've never said, "Hello, Zuko here."

[lycos]

i felt like there was a lot of chemistry in the crystal cave episode, way more than katara and aang had at any point

[isabellaflores]

the way i wanted them together so badly

[mezagarner]

I never thought Mai and Zuko would last very long

[parkerd]

I was obsessed with avatar when I was little and I thought that Zuko and Katara ended up together so I was confused and surprised when they didn’t end up together. I guess I missed a few episodes when I was little lol

[frankehima]

So if Katara and Zuko got together, and since lightning generation is a technique that Iroh learned from studying water bending, wouldn't Katara help Zuko understand how water bending works more so he could be able to generate lightning?

[mckaraj]

i’m almost positive the writers actually did leave hints to allow the possibility of zuko and katara ending up together, if they wanted.

[stephanie]

Yes you’re right at 3:42. The show was originally supposed to go with Kutara and Zuko as the main romance. It was pretty obvious because a lot of scenes where detailed enough to kinda start their love story. Unfortunately, I heard that the producers abandoned that idea to go with something more cliche...’the hero saves the day and gets the girl, yay.

But hey, that’s boring. It didn’t do justice to the romance aspect of the show if you ask me.

Lots of things could have happened if they got to be together. Water + fire= steam. Somehow, the air temple with its air benders would have been restored.
You rise with the moon, I rise with the sun?? The most epic line I’ve ever heard of you ask me. Yes, I’ll say that again 1000 times till my lungs collapse.

Besides, Zuko was quite hot headed and needed someone peaceful like katara to calm him down.

All this was like a lot of storyline wasted like damn

[ajnelson]

OF ALL THE CHARACTERS Uncle Iroh would give his life for the avatar in a heartbeat because of the kind of person he is, but if Iroh had died in Avatar I would have died inside too

[Unfunnybozo]

The song goes:
“Two lovers forbidden from one another, a war divides their people.
And a mountain divides them apart, built a path to be together.
SECRET TUNNEL SECRET TUNNEL!through the mountains, secret secret secret tunnel🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶

[drewpearce]

I like the second scenario because I could see Zuko asking Iroh for advise not only in regards to his relationship with Katara but also to help him understand the customs and culture of the water tribe and earth kingdom so he can help them heal after the war, after all Iroh had friends the white lotus who could help

[ri.onedirection]

I believe that Zutara is possible. It was just that Aang and Katara were together more, and Zuko only came in the last season. If Zuko joined in earlier, Zutara would have had more chance.

[thejayxo]

I watched this a 7 y/o and I am now 24, yes I still stand behind them being a couple. The chemistry and arc would’ve been so much better than the Aang and Katara

[sammylane]

Iroh...dies!? IROH CAN NEVER EVER DIE!! WE THE FANS PROHIBIT IT!😡

[mezagarner]

Sokka and Suki are end game, but I wanted him at the moon girl to have more episodes.

[SpammytheHedgehog]

If Zuko and Katara were together, Aang would be free to repopulate the Air Nomads.

[MeAnINFP]

I love both of these scenarios and they make a lot of sense. I’ve always been a Zutara shipper, the chemistry and compatibility is just clear.

[marapar]

Since I was younger I have been a Kataang fan. But recently I have been rewatching the Avatar and even though Zuko and Katara don’t have a lot of interaction from the beginning, I’m seeing it from another perspective. For a lot of people the show could make you think they’re giving you hints about a possible relationship even though it was quit more expressive and obvious from Aang’s side. My reasons are, even though they don’t share much screen time together, when they do, it’s something different between them. Like it is leading to something in the future. I have to say that even though I still love Kataang, Zutara would have made much more sense because of who they are, where they come from and how they dealt with each other and cared at the end.
