Hm, a shallow discovery
This may sound kind of blasphemous but sometimes I dunno if I hated Maiko more than I liked Zutara. It's kinda sad. I was turned off more by the idea of Mai and Zuko being together than I was with katara and Zuko being together. I mean don't get me wrong, Zutara! Omg! *melt* but yeah, there was never the gutteral reaction I had from Ryrissa. I can't help but feel my love for Zutara was born from the epic fail that was kataang and Maiko.
And, I can't help but feel that I do like seeing Aang unhappy. The kid's too happy. Too outgoing in the face of adversity and, it does seem kind of his fault his people are dead. Granted the ships could've found him and killed him and we'd have no hope to begin with but...it does seem kind of correlated with his disappearance. Also, he just seems to get whatever he wants. Girlfriend, superpowers, not having to kill Ozai cuz that'd be a moral dilemna..
IDK? Is it so wrong to want to see him suffer because of all that he's getting? I just hate Mai and overall think she doesn't deserve to be even alive today but...yeah.
