Below the cut are SPOILERS for "Sozin's Comet: The Final Battle", which is a kids' tie-in novel for the finale of Avatar the Last Airbender. So this means possible SPOILERS for the Avatar Season 3 finale. Read at your own risk.


So, from the looks of these spoilers I've found over at avatar_fans, Maiko (and Kataang?) seem to be endgame. Here's the actual spoilery post for the curious.

But of course. I'm not surprised. I shouldn't be surprised. But still, a little teeny tiny part of my heart died. ToT No joke. I never realized how much I really wanted Zutara to happen. I kept thinking, 'Oh idiot, Kataang is so freakin' obvious. Give it up.' But there was always some kind of hope, y'know? No matter how insignificant or small.

*sighs* Oh well. Time to get over it before the actual finale airs. And maybe I can get into Maiko. What I find ironic is that the Maiko break-up was written better than their actual hook-up. Lol.

My heart will heal. Eventually.

Dude, I wish Zuko just remained single. Or somehow wound up with Toph when they're older. >>;; (What? So Toko is my guilty pleasure ship. XP) -> Now that would send the whole fandom on fire if the creators did an epilogue type thingy.

Here's hoping the live action movies actually flesh out Mai's character better (and that her actress has chemistry with Zuko's). And also handle the Maiko hook-up better, too. (If they bypass the Zutara stuff, that would completely SUCK.)

At the post I found, nothing's actually mentioned about Kataang, but if Maiko lives, then I assume Kataang does.

Ozai doesn't die. FAIL. -> Umm, isn't Aang just making the same mistake that Roku did by letting Sozin live? Though not really because Ozai is stripped of his power, but still.

I wish the White Lotus Society played a bigger part.

Azula and Zuko have an Agni Kai? *sigh* I don't know how I feel about this. I guess it makes sense? But then the post continues to say that Katara actually takes her down? OMG, Zutara double-team! On Azula! -> That might make up for them not having romantic!canon. XD;;

Zuko becomes Fire Lord, while Iroh retires and opens a tea shop. -> Huh. Well, I wish certain (amazing) fanfic writers had been on the Avatar writing staff because I've seen some fics that handle the post-battle scenario much better than this. Realistically, Iroh should take the throne and then have Zuko take over after Zuko grows up a bit more. I don't know if he's necessarily ready to be Fire Lord right after overthrowing his father. (Umm, anyone heard Zuko's attempts at advice lately? XD;;)

Ty Lee joins the Kyoshi Warriors. That's so she can have a threesome with Sokka and Suki. I kid, I kid. But I actually prefer Ty Lee (and Suki actually) without the warrior make-up.

As this is all just from a novel tie-in, I hope the finale kicks much better ass than these spoilers seem to reveal.

What I would like to see addressed:
♥ Ursa
♥ White Lotus Society -> deeper into it
♥ the fact that Zuko is Avatar Roku's great-grandson (uh yeah, seeing this play a part and revealing it to the Gaang would be cool)
♥ the Freedom Fighters -> I don't know if I can accept that Jet is dead and Ozai lives


I ask again, why couldn't the creators just leave the shipping aspect open-ended? *sigh* Though once we finally get a result, it'll be cool to see an end to the 'will it or won't it be canon?' stuff. Though I'm sure there are going to be the obnoxious shippers who'll rub it in. ToT Aww, that depresses me.

July, come faster! Faster, I say!!!
