I remember when the leaks came out and the balcony scene was the first thing i saw on my fyp. i was so shocked. like, this much intimacy? in my avatar? for kataang? the most i expected was a passionate kiss scene equivalent to the end of ATLA. i don’t even think TLOK had intimacy at this level. and this was supposed to play in theatres too.

anyway, after the movie officially came out and i got to watch it with family and friends, they also felt like they were intruding while watching this scene 😭

i distinctly recall when this poll was made a couple of years ago (maybe sometime in 2021?) sokka and suki were in the lead. it’s so interesting to see how demographics change with time. of course the movie certainly helped. i do wonder if the shift came with the movie or if people just started appreciating kataang more.

it’s funny because natla has done everything in it’s power to erase kataang but it’s only gotten even more popular despite their (ineffective) efforts.

if you told me, an og kataang fan in 2008, that kataang would get the overwhelmingly majority of votes in 2026, i wouldn’t have believed you.

keep seeing people say that the beads on his necklace are meant to represent his tattoos and not katara but can we be serious. the ONLY 3 beads he wears are conveniently blue and look exactly like her beads? anyway, she liked this post on Instagram.

I absolutely loved this interview. Bryan and Mike explain the rationale behind cutting out Katara’s pregnancy in the movie. Bryan specifically debunks the age-old “Katara was relegated to a breeding machine in Korra” misogynistic argument that antis have been pushing for years. I’m really glad that they said something about it, even if it took them a decade to debunk it. Will people still ignore the evidence? Oh absolutely, but at least we have it on video record that that was never their intentions.

Also I love how Lauren said that they still have more stories to tell about Kataang and their family. I’m so excited for these new stories! I follow Lauren on IG and she’s constantly liking Kataang fanart lol we really got blessed with a director like her. And it’s great to see the new VAs for Aang and Katara perk up immediately after her suggestion of wanting to do more stories. Everyone on that team clearly wants more Kataang as much as we do. Bryke… we need that adult gaang series asap.
