I didn't take this scene as Meelo having never met Katara. I think he's just a weirdo.

I do dislike this trope in general though, and Aang dips into it a lot. I understand why it happens. When you do a next-generation type of show you need a reason for why the parents/old protags aren't the ones solving all the problems instead of the kids. But it still feels out of character
