Everybody needs an Iroh in their life. And if you don't have one, be one.

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

It's a nice thought...but Iroh is the way he is...because of what he went through. Not JUST losing his son...but his whole life before that. Iroh is extremely well-educated, and himself doesn't seem to have been subjected to the generational abuse that he and Ozai's father had probably been subjected to, that then somehow got turned exclusively against Ozai. Having said that...I'd like to see AI that is "developed" exclusively on Iroh and Iroh-adjacent ideas and information, and nothing else. And see how it goes. If it goes well enough...stick that thing on every computing device in existence by default.

[@gtoyadhatagyab8013]

​​@@DoremiFasolatido1979What are you on about?, why are you correlating Iroh's kindness to AI all of a sudden?

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

Iroh is the pinnacle of true masculinity. Humility, compassion, joy, honesty, vulnerability, resilience.

[@ConnerMacKenzie]

I always use him and Aragorn from lotr as two paragons of true masculinity.

[@optimusprowse6448]

​@@ConnerMacKenzieTwo perfect examples!

[@rekkariley652]

@@ConnerMacKenzieI tend to add Steve Rogers/Captain America to the mix too, at least from the movies. They’re all amazing examples of true, well-rounded masculinity.

Zuko the brave soldier boy came marching home.

[@madelinegarber7860]

Yes he did! I never thought of it like that but he did!

[@adarshsaseendran2199]

[@Toonwalla2010]

How dare you *tearbends 😭

[@curtisberard7831]

He waited for Iroh to wake up and Iroh was waiting for Zuko to wake up.

[@SpidermanandhisAmazingFriends]

[@optimusprowse6448]

What makes this show so god damn good is the writing. First of all, it's authentic. They talk like normal human beings. And secondly, they mixed the balance oh so well. Serious or heartbreaking scenes like this one are followed by humour like "You have a pretty strong scent". It's never over the top.

[@marcsfat]

I saw the title and I said, 'guess I'm ready to cry for 14 minutes,' then clicked. Good video.

[@maxim31304]

same. this scene just hits hard because of the soundtrack and its enourmous importance for the show. And seeing other people crying just hits harder 🤣

[@gtoyadhatagyab8013]

Zuko is liked by people not because he's morally perfect, but because he's not. Intentionally or not we've all made bad choices, made mistakes, we've all been selfish, hurting people around us, we aren't perfect, he represents everyone at some point in their lives. And Iroh represents the loving friends and family around us, that no matter how fucked up we are, they'll always be ready to support and forgive us. That's right, he's a perfect representation for everybody, representing through experience.

[@joelayton6135]

I love and hate this scene. I love it because it’s the most beautiful redemption scene I have ever seen… and I hate it because, as a writer, I know I will never be able to write something better 😭😭😭

[@KathrynEddy-jh3em]

amen to that

[@fpvmaniac5506]

Yooo, i cried every time the scene restarted this is crazy🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@LordNifty]

"I thought you would be furious with me" reminds me of what happened when he tried begging the Fire Lord for mercy, and what Zuko reflexively expected. I don't say "his father" because I (and many others) consider Iroh to be his real father, as Iroh shows here.

[@JeshuaSquirrel]

Ozai may be Zuko's father, but Iroh is Zuko's dad.

[@FulcanMal]

@@JeshuaSquirrel Iroh: "I'm Merry Poppins yall!"

[@TrafalgarWaterDLaw-dl5cm]

The scene also wonderfuly captures how traumatized Zuko is from his supposes "closest" family. The coldness, expectations and punishment he was drilled in from his suppsoed father. That all he could expect was more punishment. And iroh was the only one who actually taught him what it means to be loved by someone. The only one to belive in him, and try to guide him. Instead of expecting him to be perfect or a failure. And in this one scene he finally realizes this. And he owns up to the false expeciation he deperately chases, for a man who never wanted him to begin with. And betrayed his only real family he had. He truly needed that hug. And that realisation.

[@Henry-mw1xg]

Gotta love a show that can make grown peeps cry.

[@Elerad]

One of those moments that had me throwing my hands up in the air, going, "This is a KIDS' show I'm watching, right?! Why is this hitting me harder than movies or shows made for adults?!"

[@JeshuaSquirrel]

Is that one of the kindest "Get over here!" grabs ever?

[@madelinegarber7860]

Yes it is! It’s agressive in the best way. No words needed.

[@Mc00-q2f]

Nah scorpions get over here from mortal kombat is the kindest ever he kills his enemies with kindness

[@jeremy1860]

A salute to the music guys of this show. Moments like this would never have hit anywhere near as hard without them :)

[@Elwingish]

It was really only one guy, Jeremy Zuckerman. He is in the process of re-recording the score of the show with an orchestra, season one is out now. The original was done with the limited computer technology that was available at the time and very low budget, except for the finale, which was done with a live orchestra, but only because mr. Zuckerman paid for it if I'm correct.

[@Takisan111]

This scene reminded me of a story my dad told me about his childhood once. When he was around 16 or 17, he stole his step dads motorcycle for a joy ride and ended up crashing it pretty badly. It wouldn't start so he had to walk it home. He said the entire walk, he was preparing himself for his step dad to beat his @$$ black and blue because that's what he'd grown to expect from his own dad and he believed his step dad would be the same. My bio grandpa was a selfish b@$+@rd of a man, prioritizing fancy new gadgets and liquors over feeding his own children. He would scream at his wife and children for any minor inconvenience to the point that my grandma decided it was better to be a divorced single mom of 4 in the 70s than stay married to him. So at that point in time, my father had never had a father figure who would willingly put him over his material possessions. The moment he got back home, his step dad took one look at him and bolted over to him yelling "Oh my god, what happened?" "I crashed the bike. I'm so sorry." "Who cares about that right now!? Are you ok? How badly hurt are you? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Sometimes, your real father is the one that loves you unconditionally even when you make a terrible mistake.

[@rohan21166]

I love stories like this, even if it is sad that he had to go through the bad experiences first. My biological father was an absolute piece of filth and awfulness. My actual dad - the one who raised me - is the best man I know and am forever grateful to be raised by him.

[@KimDreamcatcher]

Iroh always loved Zuko like a second son, even if Zuko didn't always express those feelings back, especially in the first season when his sole focus was getting back in his father's good graces by capturing the Avatar.

[@unclelink]

Dante acted the hell out of this scene!

[@madelinegarber7860]

Ugh I love this scene! It hits hard every time. Zuko had this whole speech ready and fully expected to be reprimanded or turned away or otherwise called out for his betrayal and bad decisions. But Iroh was just like I don’t need to hear it. So much was said without being spoken in the way he grabbed him in the most lovingly aggressive way ever. Not only was he saying I forgive you, but I love you no matter what and in spite of your flaws. This is very much a happy tears scene.

[@rjai5003]

Ozai when Zuko was on his knees tearfully apologizing for speaking out of turn: burned half his face off Iroh when Zuko was on his knees tearfully apologizing for literally betraying him and getting him thrown in prison: immediately hugged and forgave him

[@coolboialex]

Iroh is gonna make me tearbend

[@lotrloreman]

This is unconditional love. Iroh is every bit the man I strive to be. Hopefully by learning from his example and others I can be like him without having to pay the price he had to gain that kind of wisdom.

[@CaptainCretaceous91]

I like to think this is the Avatar equivalent of the Prodigal Son parable.

[@ladykaeproductions147]

Literally, as a Christian, my best friend sent THIS scene to me when I was having a really hard day and asked me "now who does THAT make you think of?" I was crying for a straight ten minutes after that.

[@rickymoranjr9609]

R.I.P. Mako 🌹🪦 The Dragon of the West

[@sammylane21]

I quote Yondu, Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2 when I say "May have been your father, boy...but he wasn't your daddy" and that's what Iroh was to Zuko. I say we need more Irohs and far less divisive figures in this world.

[@joshuawells835]

Zuko is the Prodigal Son. He could have started with, "Father, I have sinned against Heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called 'your son.' Make me like ..."

[@vitormenezesdemattos967]

Looking for this comment. Iroh forgiving zuko has soooo many similarities with the parable of the prodigal son

[@davidnobre5660]

yeah, there's no way I'll ever not ugly cry at this scene....

[@Mushruums]

This scene always makes me tear up no matter how many times I’ve seen it

[@BlackHeartsHope]

This show has some of the best written characters in cinema history. Iroh, Toph, Zuko, Aang, Katara, all of them are so well written and with their own character growth and development...this show is true genius. There will never be another one like it.

[@loneshadow3624]

I can watch this scene so many times and it'll always get me emotional. The show has many moments like this but this alone is one of many beautiful scenes in the series.

[@Ravenstrike721]

This series is sooooop good. Some of the best character growth I've ever seen. Fantastic writing.

[@curtisberard7831]

He waited for Iroh to wake up and Iroh was waiting for Zuko to wake up.

[@TypicalCynic_]

Iroh is not only a firebender, but a tearbender for the audience.

[@SoraJustSora]

"Shit got me...fuck!" Everyone else: "same"

[@trevorkirtley4208]

I should have known I would just cry through the entire video. But it was pretty cathartic lol

[@sagesaria]

"How can you forgive me so easily?" "CAUSE HE LOVES YOU! T_T" I felt that.

[@firebolt100]

I'm convinced that the types of people who are emotionally invested in ATLA 'till the end are the best types of people to have in your life. They can be smart, dumb, heroic, cowardly, etc... but you best believe that they're at least striving to be one of the good guys in the end.

[@warrenpowers108]

Might be the greatest scene in the entire series.

[@cng507]

I miss when I was a kid and this scene didn't destroy me every time I watched it ;(

[@adarshsaseendran2199]

Zuko was born lucky, because he's got an Iroh

[@raunjisto2925]

"This man's gonna kill me dammit"

[@Maiasgameroom]

One of the best character arcs in tv history

[@lordkiljaeden3887]

I'm so glad this was made! I always wanted others reactions to this scene and the comments on the original clip are turned off because its a cartoon!

[@philryan3026]

Definitely can’t watch this without crying 😭

[@literalsarcasm1830]

Iroh is the uncle we all need.

[@D0nut42]

Iroh is the bestest of good men. RIP Mako.

[@hidd3n_]

challenge: watch this video without shedding a single tear (impossible)

[@danirodriguez1147]

I don't know how I can watch this 16 times without ever shedding a tear

[@tracy4290]

Maybe you don't show your feelings that way? Not everyone does.

[@Lady_Blade_WarAngel]

Iroh is the dad I wanted.

[@curtisberard7831]

I'm not tearbending! YOU'RE tearbending!

[@racout1718]

Well, I'm crying too now

[@madelinegarber7860]

It’s actually also pretty rare. We see Zuko get emotional in this way. Like it’s rare we see him close to tears.

[@LordNifty]

8:18 - I was thinking that I would be very annoyed if LM Reactions were not included in this montage. funnylilgalreacts and LM Reactions have really good reaction videos to this series (and others as well).

[@Courtesyflush52]

I’m supposed to get through 14 minutes of this without crying?

[@PenneySounds]

Have you done "Ty Lee betrays Azula"? Lots of great reactions to that one. Such an intense moment.

[@hulk1902]

Reactions to moment from second season, when Toph discovered metal bending, please. And maybe Katara's most badass moments (of you choose).

[@seriomarkj]

Azula vs zuko next

[@grkpektis]

Please do the scene where Mai and Ty Lee betray Azula

[@manduheavyvazquez5268]

Iroh was the real avatar ever.

[@DakuSamurai]

Please do more anime and cartoons? Love seeing the reactions like this instead of 100s of react videos playing at the same time like other channels

[@ReactTV1]

Tell me some of your favorite shows and scenes and I can take a look 😄

[@DakuSamurai]

Alot of my favourite don't have alot of good moments but can never go wrong with classics like 'Naruto' plenty of content there also 'Attack on Titan' would be dope to watch! Especially Erwins speech 👌

[@powertrip25]

do THE BEAR reactions!

[@AliAlexRG]

Uncle Iroh = Dr. Jordan B Peterson

[@mrdankhimself]

What a horrible thing to say about Iroh.

[@Wint3rWasteland]

Iroh is the adult all us traumatised people needed as a kid, but never had.
