I generally agree with you. I think that "shipping" has a lot to do with the dynamics one likes in pairings.
*nods*
It's all about character interaction, when you get right down to it.
but also because I feel that Sokka should not be paired with a powerful bender, because he will always feel inadequate in some ways.
Actually one thing that makes me said about Avatar, is that just the way the characters turned out, I don't ship any bender/nonbender pairings (one of the many reasons I wished I liked Mai/Zuko). I hate it when couples kind of get segregated by ablilities, you know? That said, I ship Sokka/Suki over Sokka/Toph for many reasons, but the one that applies to what I just said is that they really learn from each other, and I don't think that 'making each other better' would have worked if they hadn't been on the same playing field when they first met.
