Azula Tribute - See what I've become (for Carrie)

[@unicorn1655]

Azula was born to become a weapon.Ozai tortured her both physically and emotionally from a very young age.She had to break down because no one can hide from the very beginning till the end.Eventually everyone shows themselves.

[@SirMarshalHaig]

She doesn´t have sob stories, her life is one. And in the end she faced this.

[@gizemgonenc5342]

Emotinally, definitely. Though we don't really have any evidence that he tortured her physically, even though it is pretty plausible. Other than that, I completely agree.

[@dimondlord11]

@@gizemgonenc5342 he called it training I think they had a comic on it

[@gizemgonenc5342]

@@dimondlord11 Really? Do you remember what it is called? I would always love to read more ATLA content.

[@shahadshd5165]

The ending was just heart breaking

[@ZlataAdams]

Shahad SHD glad you like it)

[@ruki4585]

Yes

[@brinnajorge3423]

A character who seems perfect and never loses control is the one who is most likely broken inside and azula, at such a young age cracked under this pressure and in the end...she was just another person like any other with emotions who wanted to be accepted by her father when her mother couldn’t.

[@Luc42]

Azula: The one chosen to take the throne, whose prowess was unmatched. Who was the favorite, pampered and destined for greatness. The one who ended in madness Zuko: The one who was beaten, burned and cast out. Forced to do everything alone with no one to catch him. The one who learned that greatness isn't something you're born with, but something you achieve.

[@anika-banikakee-kee1097]

yes. couldn't have said it better.

[@scarred4life473]

But Zuko was not alone. Azula practically was.

[@vibez.no.cartel]

@@scarred4life473 literally. Xuko had his mum and uncle iroh to pamper him. Azula literally no one because Ozai never actually cared for her. She was just a really powerful weapon to him.

[@shadyrain1206]

I love how the more insane she gets the more intense the music is and at the end it got slow and sad because she honestly deserved better

[@ZlataAdams]

Glad you like it)

[@DarthElectra]

I just watched this right after the hour-long video of psychological analysis of her, and right now I'm crying up for Azula again. Your editing is brilliant, you caught up all these character-setting moments so well! It's so nice to see such a sad and powerful tribute for one of the most complex female antagonists of all time. It'so easy to forgot that Azula is just FOURTEEN, and she already have this abusive family, this repressed inner struggle, this responsibility as possible future heir of the throne, and a lot of problems with mental health, and she's still makes everything to be perfect, because "almost isn't good enough", and she succeeds. That's says a lot. Especially considering that, unlike her brother, she had literally NOT A SINGLE PERSON AROUND to care for her: she constantly needs to work really hard on herself to remain perfect to gain approvement from her father (while Zuko got their mother's love regardless of what he do, but she didn't show the same affection to Azula), her uncle sees her as a monster (all while trying to redeem Zuko despite he had done a lot of awful things too, and somehow not even considering to help his sister), her friends feared her (so Zuko had trusting connection with Mai, while she didn't). That's quite A LOT even for an adult person, and she is in her early teens only! But despite all of that most viewers be like - Azula is just evil, let's talk about our poor Zuko. Yeap, poor Zuko that always had the only thing Azula never had and desperately needed (as shown perfectly in the mirror scene) - that those people close to her are truly cared for her. As a person who knows what an enormous pressure you have when the only way to get any admiration from your family is to be perfect, and how painfully it hurts when you finally realise that even your closest friend don't care about you at all (and seems to doesn't care around two years, and you noticed, but denied the facts) - I now understand Azula really, really well. Azula, listen, you're not alone in the darkness, and you need a sincere hug. And later we can make plans for world conquering and dominance. Would you like to gonna try out to be friends with someone who finally can understand and accept you and your ideas? There was a line from a song from Broadway "Wicked" - "Too long I've been afraid of losing love I've guess I lost. Well, if that's love, it comes at much too high a cost!" I wish Azula understood that before it was too late... :'( Once again - Zlata Adams, thanks for making this beautiful tribute! :)

[@ZlataAdams]

gylfie96r2d296 thank you for such incredible comment❤️ I agree with everything you said, you know. I was deeply inspired by Azula and her strength while I making this video.

[@DarthElectra]

@@ZlataAdams awww, you're welcome! :) When someone creates an art by inspiration, it's hidden energy always can be seen, and that's really awesome! Azula is an inspirational character, indeed!

[@FanGirl-me5jk]

I watched that video about Azula a few days ago and now I’m watching this edit and I agree with you she just needs a hug may I join you on taking over the world 🥺

[@DarthElectra]

@Sky The Potato Thank you! Happy New Year!

[@paulaberi2132]

my favorite tribute by far ... it captures the pain perfectly.

[@Fun-K-Board]

Her breakdown feels so real... I actually nearly cried with her.

[@nicodemustomeo9156]

Those screams always get me now.

[@vault64600]

Nice mix ! This Princess ... My favorite character by far. I feel so sad for her, she deserves better like a redemption.Maybe later we will see.

[@ZlataAdams]

Thank you! I also hope for the best for her :)))

[@strw.bri_yanna]

I bet she clearly just overheard the word " *What is wrong with that child* " from her Mother.

[@beyondme9369]

When they think you cannot understand pain, failure, fear because you have always been perfect, never failed..but they fail to understand why..you never cried because you were afraid to show your vulnerability, you never failed because you were so afraid to lose that you worked hard so that you never have to feel the humiliation of defeat and failure..they think you are the strongest..but actually being strong requires the ability to be vulnerable around people, the ability to fail, the ability to accept that you can not always win..azula was afraid of being betrayed, of being pitied, of being a failure..her hurt was clear when she said that she didn't have sob stories and that she was a monster but it hurt that her mother thought so..it was a self depreciating line..she portrayed herself as a ruthless person..but on the inside she was more broken than zuko ever was..

[@TheDCnerd830]

Just found this,it is amazing good editing

I feel so sad for her...

[@carrie5753]

Это неожиданно... И так прекрасно, трогательно... Особенно, в контексте того, какие отношения у меня сложились с Азулой на протяжении всего просмотра ЛоА. Первое впечатление, первое появление - однозначная Мэри Сью - думала я. Но затем, в третьем сезоне... Азула - по-настоящему талантливая, не по годам умная и способная девочка. Но лишенная любви матери ( которая, исходя из комиксов-продолжений, не любила своих детей вовсе, а к Зуко была привязана потому, что его травил Озай), измученная потребительским отношением к собственным талантам отца ( разочарование в ней которого, было бы для Азулы губительно; да и жизнь с таким психопатом, как Озай - где помимо разочарования, опасен и его страх ), пребывающая в вечном одиночестве ( у Зуко - и дядя, и мама, и любящая девушка. Тай Ли - пустышка, которая никогда бы не стала для Азулы ровней, а Мэй - только и делает, что бегает за Зуко ) Азула, которой всего 14 лет, ломается, ожесточается, превращается в " монстра " ... И сама страдает от этого. Для меня, история Азулы - история загубленного, непризнанного гения. Она для меня - один из любимых героев не только в ЛоА и ЛоК, но в искусстве в принципе. Как и Зуко ) А эта невероятная работа... Все отражает! Весь этот нелегкий, тернистый путь, ведущий в никуда... Спасибо ОГРОМНОЕ! Это великолепно!

[@ZlataAdams]

Спасибо за такой развернутый отзыв. Мне очень приятно, что вам понравилось! В этом видео я очень хотела провести параллель между амбициями и реальностью. Что может быть хуже, чем рискнуть всем и проиграть? Насчет непризнанного гения - полностью согласна. Я не думаю, что ее амбиции были полностью построены на пустом тщеславии и желание показать отцу, что она - лучшая. Мне кажется, она действительно хотела привести свой народ к процветанию (какое бы искаженное представление не имелось бы ввиду), но все же, отчасти, это было благое намерение... За которое она расплачивалась всю свою жизнь. Может быть, сложись обстоятельства по-другому, она бы стала "Лучшим лидером в истории Народа Огня"... Но она "положила на алтарь" все и проиграла. Горько и больно...

[@gomosparasitos1060]

Ох черт. Как же приятно читать такое мнение... согласна с каждым словом.

Чертовски люблю это видео. Оно вызывает во мне такую бурю эмоций, что я готова взорваться, и все из-за нашего с Азулой сходства в не самых радостных моментах. Это трогательно и просто прекрасно. Путь от чудо-мага до сумасшедшей - вот какова история Азулы.
