That's not remotely why she forgave Zuko.
She forgave Zuko because she realized how pathetic her mother's killer really was and how killing him would have been meaningless. And while she couldn't quite forgive him, realizing how unhealthy holding on to this kind of feeling allowed her to forgive Zuko.
She forgives Zuko not because he helped her get revenge for her mother, but because she realized that Vengeance Feels Empty.

Disgusted, but not surprisedAlso, forgiveness is never owed. If Katara had never forgiven Zuko that would have been a perfectly valid thing for her to do regardless of how much he actually changed (though it would still be wrong if she never acknowledged the change).
That's an important lesson in real life that media should deal with more often.
I lost track of the thread for a while, so apologies that this is from two pages ago, but I really want to see Zuko and Azula bounce lightning at each other Tennis Boss-style now.
"A reminder that we saw what happened when someone endless pursued vengeance,they became just another killer "
I mean just look katara in that episode were she decide to do bloodbending to a guy just because she wanted to found her mother killer....Katara was going to a very unhealthy mindset in that episode.
I think another reason she forgive zuko is because how he act: he give her the means, they both act on it and Zuko neve ask any question about it, is a sort of....bonding if you will.

Since we're getting into issues especially with the new films coming out and book.
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."According to Deadline
, Avatar Studios is working on a total of three animated films currently.
Bryan Konietzko and Michael Di Martino, who created the franchise-launching series Avatar: The Last Airbender for Nickelodeon, will produce alongside that show’s EP, Eric Coleman. Paramount Animations’s and Nickelodeon Animation’s EVP of Movies and Global Franchises, Latifa Ouaou, will oversee development on the first film, alongside Jason Mc Connell, who serves as Vice President of Animation at Nickelodeon Animation & Paramount Animation.
Montgomery is a veteran director, producer and storyboard artist who served in the latter capacity on the original Avatar series. Additional credits on the directing side include Voltron: Legendary Defender, Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated and Young Justice
“As original creators Mike and Bryan expand the Avatar universe with us, we’re keeping it all in the family with Lauren bringing the same kind of expert, beautiful work she did on the original series to her new directing duties on the forthcoming theatrical,” said Ramsey Naito, who serves as President of Animation & Development at Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Animation.

Regarding the new movies, while it's certainly great that they're happening, I'm still curious about why they're happening now, instead of in 2008.
Yes, I know there was the awful live-action movie, and Legend of Korra, but neither of those really felt like a long-term commitment to turning Avatar into a franchise along the lines of, say, Star Wars. Why didn't Nickelodeon strike when the iron was hot, and try to make Avatar into a large multi-media franchise right off the bat instead of sitting on the property for fifteen years?
If they'd done that, we could have gotten these movies a decade ago. I can't help but feel that Nickelodeon has been rather slow on the uptake regarding Avatar's potential as a franchise.

Well, I think some of it could be explained as nostalgia for the original show starting to become pretty hot right now.

Yeah, emotions are unpredictable, but it honestly makes Katara something of Unintentionally Unsympathetic. Doesn't she value her own father? Afterall it would have been a logical redemption from Zuko's side: Zuko's nation is responsable for killing Katara's mother, and he redeems himself by saving Katara's father. Instead she only forgives Zuko when he helps her finding the man who killed her mother. Does it mean she values revenge for her mother's death above the fact that his father was saved from likely suffering the same fate?
Anyway, it's kind of nitpicking anyway. Doesn't ruin the series that much nor Katara's character for what matters. It's just something that could have been handled kinda better.
