This is about the show and not the film.


** ''Film/TheLastAirbender'' somehow managed to make the Zuko/Katara fight at the North Pole full of even ''more'' Ship Teasing goodness. Probably because they skipped "The Waterbending Scroll".

Surprised barely any entries on Kataang were on here, so I added a few more entries.


* The writers teased the [[PortmanteauCoupleName Kataang]] [[OfficialCouple (Katara/Aang)]] shippers in "The Cave of Two Lovers", where they set up a TrueLovesKiss plot - but had the lights go out at the crucial moment, leaving viewers to wonder Did They Or Didn't They? They, at least, eventually got upgraded to OfficialCouple status.

** "The Headband": Katara has a moment of jealousy; also, Aang and Katara share quite a hot and steamy dance with Katara looking
at least, eventually got upgraded Aang in a more-than-friendly way.

** The Season 3, part 2 trailer, which one Katara/Aang shipper described as "a giant kick in the groin," proved that the PR staff were still up to their old tricks, and the shippers ''still'' hadn't learned [[NeverTrustATrailer their lesson]].
** {{Lampshaded}} [[BetterThanABareBulb (like everything else on the show)]] in "[[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheEmberIslandPlayers The Ember Island Players]]", where the actors playing Katara and Zuko have them declare their undying love for each other.

* A marathon of ''Avatar'' reruns had pop-up jokes and factoids appearing on the screen. (One pop-up quips "Love at first sight" during Aang and Katara's first meeting, and another teases "Zuko was originally going to be a love interest for Katara.")

** Trailers for the second season teased a hookup between the two - they get LockedInARoom, but [[{{Deconstruction}} they don't go the route most characters go afterwards]] (despite ''her thumb on his mouth''). Followed in the same episode by a thorough and brutal ShipSinking.

* The writers love [[YankTheDogsChain yanking the chain]] of the [[FanPreferredCouple Zutara (Zuko/Katara)]] shippers.

** The four-part finale, in which the ship teasing is as brutally epic as the storyline itself, threw out more bait to the Zutara fans ''than the entire rest of the series combined''. It even includes such classics as [[spoiler:SheIsNotMyGirlfriend and TakingTheBullet, only to shoot it all down in flames with two heartfelt love scenes - Aang/Katara and Zuko/Mai - in the very last minutes of the last episode]]. (And they still have time to start a Toph/Zuko ShipTease.) The amount of ship teasing present in the finale actually confused many casual watchers as to the ending pairings, since [[spoiler:Katara and Aang don't interact except for the start and the very end of the finale.]]

* The writers apparently enjoyed the ShipToShipCombat somewhat, as evidenced by their SuperDeformed Short "School Day Shipping."
* A marathon of ''Avatar'' reruns had pop-up jokes and factoids appearing on the screen. (One pop-up quips "Love at first sight" during Aang and Katara's first meeting, and another teases "Zuko was originally going to be a love interest for Katara.")
* The Sokka/Toph moment in "The Serpent's Pass". "You can just go ahead and let me drown now" indeed.
** In "Sokka's Master," when Sokka returns to the group, Toph dismissively says that the others missed him... and then turns around so he can't see her, smiles, and ''[[LuminescentBlush blushes]]''.
* Most of the [[IncestYayShipping Azula/Zuko shipping]] can be chalked up to the fact that she's TheVamp and acts vaguely seductive toward ''everyone'' as opposed to intentional teasing, but the bedroom scene ''is'' a bit much...
** The scene where Zuko dreams about a dragon with Azula's voice that says some very suggestive things to him an a very seductive tone goes a little overboard as well.
* There were some hints at Mai/Zuko before the two actually got together, like Ty Lee's suggestive "It'll be interesting to see Zuko again, won't it Mai?" in "Return to Omashu" and their behavior during the flashback in "Zuko Alone".
