120: The "retarded" thing gets to me. I'm 90% certain that it wouldn't be phrased that way if all the ship wank hadn't started in the first place, but really? It's like that FedEx arrow thing: some people see the subtext, some people don't, but if you don't see the subtext it doesn't mean it's not there, and if you do see the subtext it doesn't mean you're smarter or a more perceptive person. Not everyone sees things the same way, and that's perfectly fine. That is the way of literary analysis. Get the fuck over it. Jesus!

But no. For all the intelligent, well-read, analytical people who ship Zuko/Katara, and for all well-written, interesting, true-to-character fanfiction the ship has, CLEARLY WE ARE ALL RETARDED. Well, at least NOW WE KNOW, because this one person has decided that for us.

And I have another objection to that secret: Katara was supposed to go with Aang, AND DO WHAT, EXACTLY? There's nothing she could have done, because she can't fly. So... she was supposed to be sitting on the sideline. Supporting her man. Like a good woman should. Has this person been paying attention to Katara's character arc at all?

But no, we're the retarded ones, apparently.

If the ship is threatened by her being with another man during the finale, then it's not as strong as it should be.
