1* [[AngstWhatAngst Aangst? What Aangst?]]: A couple of examples:
2** At one point, Aang briefly starts to have an existential crisis about whether or not any of them, as fictional characters, actually have any volition at all, or whether they're all just puppets being controlled by the author... But both he and Katara quickly {{handwave}} the question.
3--->'''Katara''': I know it's tempting, but you can't get into a deep philosophical ramble about the meaning of life right now. [[RuleOfFunny This is supposed to be a funny story!]]
4--->'''Aang''': Oh. Oh yeah. Heh heh... ''Existentialism.''
5** When Awng discovers Movie!Zutara, he gets over it remarkably quickly, saying that Katarola was too needy for him anyway.
6* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Although the entire fic is chock full of random, there are a couple of particularly out-of-nowhere moments that have little-to-no effect on the actual plot or the other characters:
7** The part where [[spoiler: four anonymous Waterbenders appear out of nowhere, kill Zhao, and then decide to go out for sushi]]. That [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrMbEFRUYDk this actually happened in the movie (minus the sushi part)]] just makes it even better.
8*** And in the next chapter, [[spoiler: Zhao's corpse]] has mysteriously vanished. [[{{Handwave}} Presumably because the Author didn't want to deal with it.]] The characters never speak of this again.
9** Katarola and Z-Patel just stopping in the middle of their big fight, realizing that they're attracted to each other, and suddenly making out. They continue to make out in the background while the rest of the characters just move on with the story, doing their best to ignore them.
10* HamAndCheese: Movie!Zhao, big time. '''Did he tell you about the Secret Spirit Library he found??!?!!1!?'''
11* HarsherInHindsight: Many of the jokes made at Shyamalan's expense became far less funny when it came out that most of the problems with the film adaptation were the result of ExecutiveMeddling from Paramount. While Shyamalan is far from innocent, he had little creative control over the final product and shouldered all the blame when the film tanked.
12* HilariousInHindsight: At the end, [[spoiler:Awng takes away Lord Shyamalan's credibility as a writer, ensuring that the film's sequels will never be made. Awng then suggests that Shyamalan rethink his life, and maybe go back to film school, start over, and make better movies in the future. Shyamalan would eventually manage to undergo a sort of CareerResurrection with ''Series/WaywardPines'' and ''Film/TheVisit''.]]
13* {{Squick}}:
14** Katara [[ThisIsWrongOnSoManyLevels does]] ''[[ThisIsWrongOnSoManyLevels not]]'' [[ThisIsWrongOnSoManyLevels take it well]] when Sockson, ''[[BrotherSisterIncest the live action version of her brother,]]'' starts coming onto her with bad pickup lines.
15** In a similar vein, Aang is squicked out by [[spoiler:Katarola's sudden attempt to make out with him,]] questioning how it's even possible since [[MindScrew he's animated and she's not.]]
16*** It does lead to a fun little bit where Katara squeezes and fusses over him while he's shivering from squick...
17---->'''Aang''': I... I just feel so... ''Violated!''
18*** ...and later a bit of smugness when he realizes that he had [[spoiler:[[TwinThreesomeFantasy two Kataras]] fighting over him]].
19---->'''Aang''': ...''Flameo!''
20** Most of the Animated!Characters are pretty weirded out by Movie!Zutara.
21* {{Wangst}}: Most of the movie-based characters, at least when they’re not in DullSurprise mode. But special mention must go to [[ProneToTears always-on-the-verge-of-tears Katarola,]] [[NoSocialSkills angry-all-the-time-for-no-reason Sockson,]] and of course, [[EmoTeen emotionally-tortured Z-Patel.]]
22-->'''Z-Patel''': You just don't understand! I did ''not'' throw a tantrum! I'm a tragic character with lots of issues!
