they got put together because aang is the main charecter and katara is the pretty girl who he meets quickly, they didn't stop and think if it made sense o if they were a good couple.
i dont find anyone in the movie called him "monk". altough i believe he is a monk.
i think the air nomads people is dressing like a monk, even if they are not. (look at Avatar Yang Cheng)
well but if he is a monk, i am a kungfu movie's fan. and i never met any movie which the monk in it falling in Amore with a girl. if the girl falling in Amore with monk, it's many... a lot. but in Kataang case, it is Aang who loves Katara first. and he is still a kid doh ... this make me think that Kataang is a very weird unchemistrical couple. dont get me wrong. i Amore weird couple like balthier and fran. but they could be happen,... Aang and Katara just have many impossible traits to be together... worse than Totara ==a
well...its like this.since they're close the creators put them together without stopping to think.it COULD also be the fact that aang is technically not a monk and he CAN marry becuase Avatar roku married too.
Btw.... i thought he was a monk... like cus he lived in the air TEMPLES and also because he shaved his head and lived with MONK jiatsu and yeah.... hehe :D
HOLY ZUKO! te ARE RIGHT! WHY THE ZUKO DID THEY PUT THEM TOGETHER ANYWAY? In the words of the stupid (but awesome) creators: "We thought like, Zutara was fun and all but Aang and Katara had th whole thing" then later: "BRAIN! Zuko just like sacrificed his life for Katara, and she still didn't go with him!" The other director: "Yeah, that's not right." THEN THERE'S THE WHOLE "TOKKA" THING WHICH THEY MAKE FUN OF! I MEAN SERIOUSLY!!! Sorry, I'm a Zutaraian 1000% :D
