This is gonna sound like a backhanded compliment but I swear it's not. I genuinely enjoy that you dont over edit and correct small pronunciation and grammar mistakes. It feels less like an internet guy and more like your buddy telling some random trivia they know for some reason.

[@Teraclon]

I've always had it in my head that it was master Pakku who taught iroh the techniques in waterbending needed to develop the redirect lightning-manuever.

[@lamarjrrj]

That would make sense legacy of the fire nation hint that they all knew each other for quite some time

[@AcT403]

Actually incorrect, the first time we see Iroh genuinely try and slow down the progress of the Fire Nation was when he attempted to stop Zhao from killing the Moon and Ocean spirits. He even poetically proclaims that the Fire Nation also needs the balance.

[@berneymark]

I'd argue that he kind of became more focused on his education and care for Zuko, as far as reasoning goes it is understandable. But...that doesn't mean he did nothing up until the Battle of the Northern Water Tribe. I believe that Iroh knew of the importance of the Avatar and actively tried to stop Zuko from finding him until he was ready while also stopping anyone else from doing so. It is a fact that Iroh did not want Zuko to capture the Avatar and return home for Zuko, but that also happens to benefit the White Lotus. What is also seen in the show is Iroh not wanting anyone other than Zuko to eventually find Aang. I think his apparent laziness and inactivity WAS his activity for the White Lotus, as well as for his family. For Zuko.

[@V1G4M1]

I‘d actually go as far to say the first time *we see* him slow down the progress of the fire nation is in episode 1 when he tries to basically gaslight zuko into not following the light aang projected over the sky when he broke out of the ice… xD (although that obviously wasn‘t his only reason for it lol) Edit, I didn‘t see the answer comment, strongly agreed!

[@AcT403]

@@V1G4M1 Fair enough, I could definitely see that. I feel that was mostly out of a lack of belief it was the avatar and wanting not to get his hopes up rather than specifically not wanting to get the avatar, but it's possible

[@berneymark]

@@AcT403 It's more than possible honestly. Iroh had spent years dedicating his life to knowledge of the spirits. He would have known a lot about the Avatar as well as it's significance in the world. You've actually seen Iroh do this while being on the inside during the episode where he was captured by Earth Kingdom soldiers. He used his age and appeared laziness to appear much weaker than he is and to consistently slow down the...uh...bird horses? Things... It is exactly how he is with Zuko through almost all of the time chasing the Avatar.

[@21thC3nTuRy]

Good Video :) You could have mentioned that Sokka was given a white lotus pai cho token by his swordmaster. some avatar fans think that giving this token might be an invitation to the white lotus organisation itself.

[@bryanelloco29]

That’s a very good point, and I see where you’re coming from! However, I don’t think this is really an invitation, rather that it’s his master’s way of oh honoring Sokka by secretly telling him that he’s worthy of being in the white lotus. Since he never reveals what the white lotus is, there is no way for Sokka to know that it means anything. I think it’s awesome and a massive indicator, but I think it’s meant more as a way for us to understand how important Sokka’s progress has been, rather than a canonical indication that he joins the white lotus

[@100Grand4eva]

It was foreshadowing.

[@FireForger]

Sokkas sword has a white lotus on the pommel as well, i believe after iroh, sokka was made the leader for a while

[@thed.m.a.c4604]

When i was a kid i didn't realize the white lotus was a thing in the show but as an adult the little nods to them before finally being revealed was very awesome.

[@scratch2086]

It feels weird that these guys have literally no involvement with the giant underground library that seeks to record (and at least preserve) all the information in the world.

[@nuttanontchaturachanyaloet1324]

Well, tbf white lotus kinda relying on the day avatar will fights on ozai and fire sozin comet. And the only thing they have to do are prepare and wait.

[@jabudecapricornio8750]

Or maybe they did , but the member that went to investigate died there

[@slimtrxx7093]

what if it was zaheer at some point ?, i definitely could see him figuring out a way while he was young

[@thirteen_candles9806]

i'd say there might have been a reason that there was a white lotus member in that desert so close to the library.

[@user-kf1vo1yq7y]

@thirteen_candles9806 I mean… not to necropost, but In essence wasn’t the library just the vision and actions of a random spirit he’ll vent on preservenung human knowledge separated form humans? Like that white lotus is a human organization with very enlightened human ideals, while the library spirit is very much disconnected from any human ideology could almost be described as a lust of knowledge for knowledge’s sake

[@thirteen_candles9806]

red lotus is basically like "today we're all going to jump off a cliff into these sharp rocks to gain the knowledge of how hard it hurts."

[@isabellecross2742]

the leaves from the Vine song still gets be to tear up 😢 love uncle iroh

[@JustSomeDude42]

Anyone else giving Master Pakku serious side eye as a member about taking knowledge and finding beauty from all places? Like the dude refused to teach Katara because it was specifically against his tribes customs, without admitting that that’s not how the southern water tribe did things. Pakku straight up didn’t care about the cultural genocide of his sister tribe until simp mode activated. Dude was also pretty antagonistic towards Aang, though it became more prickly afterwards. They were at war, and he refused to teach the avatar despite knowing the consequences. Jeong Jeong I’m willing to give a pass for if only because the dude was dealing with some serious ptsd and war guilt. We know the north hadn’t fought the fire nation for I think eighty five years, based on the captured uniforms.

[@elisabethditlevsen2203]

i think the reason for that is that he might not have been a very highly ranking member, he was isolated in the north and might not have understood the true meaning of The White Lotus, and the reason he appears at Ba Sing Se is bcs hes a very strong waterbending master, and since it was other masters we meet along the show, the Avatar creators could have thought he should be there aswell (they didnt rlly think abt it lore-wise, just abt the fans and how we would be excited to see friendly faces instead of strangers). Or, another explanation could be that he discovered and joined The White Lotus on his journey to the South, and was enlightened by their ways. Personally, I thought he seemed a tad bit more sincere when we see him again which could be a sign that The White Lotus have opened his eyes or sumn like that. (or maybe gran-gran and the gaang made him a better person)

[@JustSomeDude42]

@@elisabethditlevsen2203 I mean, that’s what I have been telling myself the entire time, because otherwise I want to bang my head in the wall for the fanservice that he is. But also, just the thought of him being like an intern during the invasion cracks me up. Like imagine the only reason he got the armor for the invasion was aesthetics. Like all of them need to match, so give the Uber powerful water master intern the senior set cause we need to match. Scratch that, can’t remember if Bumi fought with or without so Pakku got his armor from the pieces Bumi didn’t want. Everyone just gave Pakku the sore bits he didn’t have.

[@Orion8795]

Pakku: "I am dedicated to The Northern Water Tribe and its traditions! I will never train a female!" Also Pakku: I am decided to The White Lotus! I will serve the Avater and help them keep balance!" Female Avatar: "Hey, can you train me in water bending please?" Pakku's brain explodes

[@molly_in_mke]

Or... gran gran was a low ranking member. The only member in the south. And being isolated, all she knew was that the avatar was gone/lost. Then one day Aang showed up. When Pakku went down to the south she talked to him about life and such. That's when his ideologies truly changed and he then became a low ranking member. Now that they had benders and were rebuilding and could get info a little easier, he was able to get the info he needed to go to ba sing se for the fan service 😅. Just a quick personal theory

[@PakkuUnalaqJeongJeongKuvira]

That's his tribe culture Iroh tried to kill aang

[@christianlugata7485]

[@MrSnoopdogg64]

I always thought, there should be a series called "Chronicles of the White Lotus"

[@YTho-ev1ej]

I think “the legend of Iroh” would be the best series, covering the siege on Ba Sing Se, death of his son and his admission into the white lotus which’d include much detail around the white lotus

[@MrSnoopdogg64]

@@YTho-ev1ej absolutely, they should do that. The creators are making a new series set in 'modern times', similarly to that of korra (which I didn't particularly like). Instead they should expand on the epilogue, the fans loved the ancient Asian aesthetic, that; in conjunction with iroh; would make a successful show

[@craveinfo9628]

explains why, uncle Iroh he tried to convince Zuko into doing good and letting Appa go. Or the time he defended Team Avatar with enough time to escape that diamond room, when Azula almost killed Aang with that lighting strike.

[@epicurius1]

Historically, the White Lotus were a heretical Buddhist group that got blamed for a bunch of rebellions throughout China. So I'm sure that influenced their depiction in Avatar.

[@iswearinveggie5394]

According to IMDb the only continuity issue ALA was the design of the white lotus tile… this could suggest one of two things one each nation had their own version of the white lotus tile or there are different levels of the organization

Your passion and knowledge for what you do is just inspiring mannn

[@gregb5817]

They are such a cool concept and what’s ever more crazy about the group is Iroh goes with Zuko as a way to help his nephew but also look for the avatar as well as the white lotus was still trying to find him as well and him being a grand lotus it was important that he went as well

[@qashmonie]

More avatar videos in depth we need it!! These are great!!

[@zoro_stonerman67]

I'm gonna happily watch every avatar vid you make for sure man

[@pedroalves2412]

Unclw iroh actually says to zuko that the white loyus piece is usually an unimportant piece in the game in the episode of the pirates and the water bending scroll. And in the introduction to the white lotus group during book 2, uncle iroh plays pai sho with another member that says the piece is prety much only important for a certain game strategy, one that probably simbolizes the groups ideology

[@dbyrd92]

If you haven’t read the second Yangchen book, the white lotus definitely has an espionage side to things and we’re more than just sharing information. I think that is their core purpose but they were active at getting the information and pulling strings to help essentially maintain balance alongside the Avatar. This was just as an organization that had more stability than you would find with a single individual like the avatar who could be deeply affected personally by the things they experience in their job. they also try to control assets like Unanimity to help maintain that balance. Edit: just realized how old this video is so the book probably wasn’t out yet. 👍🏼

[@NeiroTxn]

Wait... the only non-white lotus mentor of Aang was Toph Paku, Jonjon, Bummi, and I suppose you could count Zuko too through Iroh. DId... did the white lotus make this happen??
