Azula Tribute ● Pieces

[@eugene8847]

But that's the thing with Azula : she didn't have a sad back story, she was living one, full of lies and betrayal.

[@SirMarshalHaig]

And what broke her was to see that.

[@AviciPerry]

Azula's life is a tragedy, from beginning to end

[@TOGI19]

Ceee Ceee well that was kind of her own fault. Her life wasn’t so sad but it was in the end. Zuko’s life was very sad but in the end he was happy. I think it’s pretty even

[@kingrepoman]

Thats her own fault

[@stonedchild5328]

@@kingrepoman How exactly? I don’t blame her for being this messed up.

[@kingrepoman]

@@stonedchild5328 she used fear and intimidation to make friends and keep people loyal to her. She kept pushing away people around her for her own mistakes. She was so focused on doing everything perfectly and being perfect herself that she didnt want to take the fall for her own mistakes and blamed others. The post anime comics and the ember island episodes clearly explain that. Also the boiling rock when Mai and Ty lee betray her. and the episode when she recruits Ty lee. She basically brought her lonliness on herself. I can go into a much elaborate description if this doesnt explain what I mean to say. 😄

[@xxwolfrocksxx1829]

@@kingrepoman She was a /kid./ A fourteen year old girl who was used by her father. Zuko didn't decide to have someone. He pushed Iroh away so many times, and Iroh could have left so many times but he didn't because he loved him. She had /no one/ that loved her. Not really. And so she didn't know how to love, how to not have people around her without keeping them there with threats and fear. She was abused just like Zuko, and thats not her fault.

[@gaybriale9519]

@@kingrepoman dude what?? She’s a little girl who was manipulated for years by OZAI!!! I don’t blame her for acting the way she did at all, she’s lost. And unlike Zuko, she has no one to help her out of it

[@daisylesesne]

My favorite part was when it switched between her laughing crazily and her actually laughing its was kind of sad but the edit was amazing and I love her a quote which I think really shows her character "The higher you climb, the harder you fall"

[@lauricedayag]

azula and zuko both wanted whatever the other had - zuko wanted praise and love from his father, to also become someone as strong as his sister. yet she wanted appreciation and understanding from their mother. she didn’t realise she didn’t even have one or the other, as ozai never truly loved her to begin with.

[@SutekhChroma]

That was what broke her, in the end - her father's absence "treating her like Zuko." Sad.

[@KaiaMouse2209]

This is SUCH an awesome tribute. Azula is such a complicated character, and she constantly fascinates me. Her dad's such an asshole *shakes head in shame*; also I love how you focused on her obsession with being "perfect", and how often she lies to others and herself as well. Like how she "doesn't care" that her mom liked zuko more. She's such a product of her upbringing its sad.

[@MellanClear]

Thank you ! I've always felt that her obsession with being perfect was important to understand her character and her story. Like, the only praise she ever got was for being a prodigy and so that was her only way of getting recognition from her father, and it turned into an obsession with perfection. In the end, she was just as obsessed with pleasing her father as Zuko was...

[@FatimaKhan-uy1id]

And the fact that Zuko was the one who wasn't appreciated which eventually made him the one to come to his senses and be the fire lord the fire nation needed rly adds to the concept of "fate and destiny" in the show. His scar was a blessing in disguise, as for Azula, she suffered pain and continued to suffer it because she couldn't end her own demons.

[@icy.diamond]

I kinda feel bad for her. In the end, she was just a broken fourteen year old girl.

[@johnjohn-vc5ub]

Never felt bad for her

[@carlaanastas4161]

Yeah but it's nobody else's fault but hers, she broke herself. She could've decided to follow her mother's path, but instead she chose her father's.

[@carlaanastas4161]

So nah, I don't really feel bad. After all Karma's a bitxh

[@tityajack]

Carla Anastas Following her mother’s would be a bad idea... you know, abandoning your children and deciding to erase all your memories of them. When you know their dad is, well, Ozai, and one of them has mental issues and needs help. You don’t just leave a kid with mental issues to evolve into a sociopath. I get that she had to leave, but she never had to erase her memories or favour a child over another. Azula had mental issues, she needed help, not just more fuel for her lack of empathy. Her following after her mother would just be her being an even worse person. She should’ve gotten love, not distance and the manipulation of a horrible man

[@philipraychev2841]

Carla Anastas she couldn’t choose she was a child, and you except her to make decisions that big? Her father abused her mentally for years and her mother left her but she left instead of helping her. It’s ultimately her mum and her dad’s fault not her’s. She couldn’t help be the way that she is. evil isn’t born ,t’s made

[@sgiiprizz7510]

I wish she had a relationship with her uncle. She would learn a lot and Azula and Iroh would be a great team to be honest

[@AndalusianPhilosopher]

It will be some time. Remember how long it took for Iroh to reach Zuko. Azula has a lot of emotional baggage. She will need time to sort things out and confront her inner demons. It was not easy for Zuko either. For Azula it will be harder. But I think it is possible 😉

[@ccappa2001]

Azula is one of the most tragic villains in cartoon history. I really feel for her. She was forced to be perfect until she broke, betrayed, and lied to.

[@hbgguled2495]

A+++++ You showed us who azula truly was. A girl who wanted love; unconditional love. Rather than the conditional she got from ozai maybe that could have changed her. Anyway great job!

[@MellanClear]

Thanks a lot ! and yes, Azula's story is just... sad :'(

[@hbgguled2495]

Mellan Clear Thank you it really hit home. I enjoyed it also could do one about Sokka?

[@MellanClear]

The one about Sokka should be done around next week, I've been working on it for some time now :)

[@hbgguled2495]

You are just the best! (Waving finger)

[@rti5031]

“I love Zuko more than I fear you.” Oh man, she DO loves him. Azula is terrifying

[@edoboleyn]

“Everything always came easy to her.” Azula is so obsessed with achieving perfection that she regards her own flawless performance unacceptable if she has even a hair out of place. She works tirelessly to accomplish her father’s goals with utmost precision and efficiency, all without a shred of affection or a single loving parent or mentor, and with the clear understanding that failure will be rewarded with the kind of cruelty Ozai visited on Zuko. No prodigy achieves greatness without heroic effort and hard work. If Azula was born lucky, it was the worst thing that ever happened to her. Your video reminded me of all this! It was beautifully edited and I’m so glad it showed up in my feed. c8 Thank you for putting in the hard work, creativity, and skill to create it!

[@Dez861]

Weird but, the part of this edit that really got to me was the juxtaposition between her insane cackling at the last Agni Kai and her laughing with Chan on Ember Island. It really illustrates that she's really just a lost 14-year-old girl who could've had something of a normal life if the adults let it happen. (The two would-be positive influences on her, Ursa and Iroh, were too intimidated by her to be of any help, and Ozai ... well, need I say more? The man MADE her a monster.)

[@javelinnia3203]

I don't know about you guys but I really appreciate that Mai had feelings for Zuko since he awkwardly tried to save her from a burning apple.

[@lulululu3771]

I have a theory that in the scene where azulas mom is telling her that she does love her and that she isn't afraid of her is what azula wishes her mom had actually said. I think that azula tells herself that her mom loved her when in reality she isn't sure if she actually did or not.

[@rothcharmaine599]

Well, it was Azula's hallucination

[@Luc42]

Azula's story was the saddest in my opinion. Aang lost Gyatso and the rest of the Air Nomads, but he had Katara, Sokka, Toph, Appa and Momo to fill that void. Katara lost her mother, but she had Sokka, Aang, Toph, Hakoda, Pakku, and Kanna Sokka lost Yue, but he had Katara, Aang, Toph, Suki, Hakoda, Pakku and Kanna Toph had parents that loved her but treated her like she was made of glass. She had Katara, Sokka, and Aang who saw how tough she really was. Zuko had an abusive father and lost his mother, but he had the knowledge that she loved him as well as Iroh and Mai. Azula had a father she wanted to live up to, but always ended up coming up short. Zuko, Ty Lee and Mai betray her. She lives most of her life believing that her mother thought she was a monster.

[@aya-kl2tt]

When I was younger and watched ATLA, I hated Azula. I thought she was a bad person, and I wanted the heroes to win. Re watching it now, I can see where she's coming from, and she's my favorite character.

[@rowanjoy419]

you don't love her, you feel sorry for her

[@lola36855]

same

[@MrFredde9999]

Love it! I've always felt very strongly for Azula despite her pure evilness. Like I feel more sorry for her than for Zuko who found a true path where as she became a product of her psycho blood line, just tragic :/

[@MellanClear]

I agree, and I think that's what makes their final Agni Kai so heartbreaking : we see in Azula what Zuko almost became, but we also see in Zuko what Azula might have been, had things been different...

[@MrFredde9999]

Yes! I don't know if you've read the follow up manga series but the parents seem to play a big role in how they became who they are, cuz the psycho father loved and believed in Azula where as the good spirited mother loved and believed in Zuko.

[@MellanClear]

Yes I have read them and I agree ! Although I think some people blame Ursa too much for what Azula became : Ursa saw her daughter turning into this evil being like her father was and she tried to stop it, whereas Zuko was just sweet (he didn't really have his father's bad influence since it was Azula who got all the attention from him) so of course she got on better with him, and she blamed Azula when she said horrible things, like talking about Iroh dying, like, well you should do as a good parent. She really did care for Azula, they make that very clear in Smoke and Shadows I think... Ozai is really the one who f***** all his family up.

[@MrFredde9999]

I agree that it was inevitable to happen because of Ozai. But I do think Ursa could have tried a little more since she literally just snapped at her daughter asking herself "whats wrong with that child" instead of really trying to talk to her. I know it probably wouldn't have made much difference at that point but I think a parent should always keep fighting for her child.

[@MellanClear]

Yeah she probably should have, but as you said, it wouldn't have made any difference. Or Azula could even have talked to her dad about it, and then Ursa would be the one in trouble for "talking nonsense" to her daughter, or trying to make her "weak" like Zuko (and we don't see much of what she went through as Ozai's wife, but the little bits and pieces that we see are not very encouraging...) But I can't really believe she never tried to talk to her, I think she did, we just don't see that much of their pasts :/ it's probably up to interpretation at this point and you can chose what you want to believe. :)

[@MrGohan8000]

The way you mix the soundtrack with the conversations is so good. Nice stuff.

[@MellanClear]

thank you very much !

[@rowanjoy419]

She prepared all her life. She did everything her father wanted because it was the only way she felt loved. She didn't realize that her father was a monster who would never truly love her.

Fave band + awesome character+ best song for her = masterpiece

[@Matthew-Martinsson]

I've got a hate/love story with Azula.... she's so tactical and dangerous. But at the same time she got played so hard. She said to Long Feng; °Don't flatter yourself, you were never even a player.". . All the while her father could've said the same thing to her. Poor child. Just imagine being 13yo and have the weight she carries, so unstable

[@timballisto2826]

it always bothered me that zuko was like 'it came easy to her' like bruh azula probably ran herself into the ground getting her firebending up to the level it was at 14. the level of body control on display when she literally planks on top of the drill and then reverses that plank to shoot fire ? that kind of thing doesn't come 'easy' that comes from training every day for hours

[@MellanClear]

The very reason I started watching this show was because of what I had heard about its female characters so... yeah. This show is so awesome!

[@aerocaesire2552]

I love how they made women much more dynamic than other "strong female character show" where they are flawless or just arrogant or just stale. In avatar no 2 women are the same {apart from Joo dee} and it doesn't portray femininity as weak unlike other "strong female character show" where the main character is masculine and hates femininity. It also doesn't try to bring down men as stupid or less powerful like the "strong female character show". Some of the women beat men, some of the men beat women. They treat women as characters first. They make them strong characters who happen to be female rather than strong character who is strong because she is a woman. As well as avatar women have complicated backstories unlike other strong female protagonist.

She’s just so broken. I don’t approve of the things azula has done or of the things I’ve done, but I do feel empathy and wish someone would have showed her a better path like they did me

[@knaitesolo3393]

Enfim se você for. O contraste das cenas da Azula "normal" e dela no estado "insano" dela ficou perfeito. Principalmente em que ela está rindo. Eu já gostava dela, mas esse vídeo fez eu me sentir ainda mais empática com ela. Na real, eu entendo algumas questões da Azula, por também fazerem parte de mim. Enfim, continuando com o vídeo. A seleção de música foi ótima. Cliquei achando que era outra música, mas essa ficou ainda melhor. Adorei as frases que você incluiu e finalizar com o choro dela foi perfeito. Um tributo perfeito do começo ao fim.

Never truly bad just not sure what love was for real. Since she was never shown true love like her brother.
