2. At no point did the show ever try to claim that Zuko was a complete monster for this choice. Katara believed that, but she\\\'s always been a very vindictive person.

We are expected to believe that Zuko made the wrong decision (because he did, objectively, and even he admitted that) but at no point are we told that he\\\'s pure evil now.
To put it simply, he led Katara to believe that he had changed, that he didn\\\'t want to hurt her or her friends anymore, but then the first chance he got he changed his mind and \\\'\\\'helped Azula murder Aang.\\\'\\\' I\\\'d say that Katara and the audience are both well within their rights to think Zuko is a dick for that.

* A better example would be in the episode when Katara offered to heal Zuko. Zuko showed human emotions, but did not side with her. But the moment he joined with Azula, his \\\'\\\'family\\\'\\\' he became extra evil, denounced as a liar and a traitor, despite never being on their side in the first place.

It doesn\\\'t count as protagonist-centered morality for two reasons.

Also, it should be noted that Zuko choosing to side with Azula led directly to [[spoiler: Aang\\\'s death]]. Yeah, I\\\'d say Katara had every reason to be ticked at him.
