Let’s settle this: Who had the best relationship on Avatar: The Last Airbender?
Avatar: The Last Airbender had more pressing things on its mind than romance — as you may recall, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked, and Avatar Aang had a lot to learn before he could save anyone (let alone the world). But love, like life, finds a way. This is a show about teenagers, after all, and the characters found connections that for some would last a lifetime.
The thing is, fans do not agree on whether or not those are the right pairings. The battle between shippers has calmed, somewhat, in the years since the show went off the air. But these are still deeply held beliefs about how AtLA should’ve paired people off — after all, each pairing brings out a different shade in the characters.

Petrana: Out of every canonical endgame ship, this one makes the most sense! They clearly inspire one another, and they’re similar enough to have some common ground, but different enough to challenge one another. Plus, I am always here for a relationship where the girl could beat up the guy.
Zosha: Sokka is instantly a better character once Suki knocks him on his ass (literally and metaphorically). There are few better examples in
