The scene with zuko trying to capture the bison and uncle iroh putting some sense into him is my favorite because those are honestly real conversations u can have with a parent “you need to start asking the big question, who are you and what do you want” that hits home because a frustrated parent will say that to you if you constantly keep making mistakes

That scene of Ozai burning Zuko's face and the way Zuko screams always breaks my heart. The storm is definitely one of my favourite episodes but I can't help but cry when you think how terrible of a father Ozai was. Zuko is definitely the best character written in fictional history with the best redemption arc. No other character could probably come close. Excellent video. Looking forward to Life of Katara soon 🌊

[@triciahenry4674]

Oh yeah but when you think about it; Ozai's terrible parenting did teach Zuko how to be a better father for his daughter. I mean, I feel like Zuko definitely deserved better and in a way he did indeed earn a better father figure; Uncle Iroh. Iroh was always there for Zuko even when he thought that Iroh was being annoying and lazy. It was indeed heartwarming when they reunited and Iroh hugged Zuko with Zuko not able to understand and said that he thought that Iroh was gonna be mad with him. Iroh just replied by basically saying that he was so worried for Zuko's mental compass and that he had found his way back to Iroh. That made me feel like that Iroh should've been Zuko's father, not Ozai.

As an abuse survivor I relate strongly to Zuko. His rather burned him across the face, nearly blinding him. Mine raped me multiples times and gaslit me for years with his wife who was not nearly as loving as iroh or zuko’s mother. I was angry in all the same ways he was, never related to a charicter more than him.

[@xxcheeriosxx5828]

I'm sorry you went through that with your family. :/

[@stored6380]

This show is so perfect man. I loved the character development for Zuko so much! See when you have a bad amd abusive father you either allow yourself to become him or worse to your kids, or you become everything you wanted/needed as a child growing up to your kids. We got to experience him becoming his father while zuko idolized him and did everything he could to make him proud but thanks to the guidance of everyone' (favorite) uncle Zuko became a better person, learned to coexist or overcome his demons, and successfully became everything that his father wasnt as a man. So in the end of an amazing journey, Zuko become everything he wanted but most importantly became a great, loving, and kind Father. Truly this show was a masterpiece. It's so sad that I don't see any possibility of another sequel or prequel achieving the level of rewatch ability, connection, of love for the characters and show in general.

[@ShadowCritias]

Zuko is my Favorite character from the show, 1st he was a villain, 2nd he was anti-hero, 3rd back as a villain, & 4th he's know as a hero. He's story arc & his character development are tragic, pain, pride, depress, etc.

Seems like the whole ATLA actually focused on Aang and Zuko's life as parallel, there were many scenes where both Zuko and Aang's stories mirrored each other, for example : Bitter Work. And there were also scenes where Aang and Zuko's feelings/emotions were shown mirrored each other, for ex : the ending of The Blue Spirit. And the most blatant comparison is when Aang and Zuko danced with the dragons in Firebending Masters, the frames shown each of them dance with a dragon behind them, Aang with the blue one and Zuko with the red one. Not to mention the conclusion of the story, where both the Avatar and the Firelord stood side by side before the nations. I forgot to add that one episode (i think it was The Storm) where the scenes kept switching between Aang and Zuko's background stories. Plus, the fact that both Aang and Zuko seemed to be "special", with Aang being the Avatar and Zuko the great-grandson of both the previous Avatar and the Firelord who started the war.

[@sonderly7820]

yea i think that was really clever since the war started and ended between the avatar and fire lord. (roku and sozin), (aang and zuko)

[@spencerpalmer4961]

This parallel between Aang and Zuko is similar to Darth Vader and his son, Luke Skywalker.

[@thanos9225]

@@sonderly7820 True. Since the big story here is war, and wars always have two sides. And the big message is to make peace, not to defeat. Aang represents the people under oppression and Zuko represents the oppressor. The war could not end if the Fire Nation--Zuko's side--did not want peace. Thus making Aang and Zuko's reconciliation as the "real" end of war and the beginning of peace. The battle between Ozai and Aang was just a climax scene to show how the good guy kicked the bad guy's ass.

Zuko was such a kindhearted good kid. He was forced to be a bad guy and impress his father. As he got older All Zuko really wanted was his mother, Poor guy. But replacing his mother was his proud Uncle and I love how his Uncle was always there for him no matter what, he never judged Zuko for being himself. His Uncle is the reason for Zuko changing and becoming a better man.

[@chrissimmons9743]

17:13 It's really amazing to see not only how Zuko's character develops, but Katara's relationship with him, going from being so hateful of him because of what he did in Ba Sing Se (holding onto that hate even as everyone else began to trust him enough to laugh at his comments about how he could chase Aang around and try to capture him if he really wanted it to feel like old times) to helping him gather the strength to go into his uncle's tent and face him in order to apologize.
