Oh and Zuko's arc is a masterclass in development. Also, can we appreciate the strong female characters like Toph and Azula? Showing the audience their strength w/o telling or preaching. Brilliant. And modern show/movie writers should take notes tbh.

Okay, but I screamed when you cut from Zuko kneeling in front of Lee to Zuko kneeling in front of Katara I- And also how you contrasted his emotional reactions with Jin, Mai, and Katara -- the life he couldve had if he was normal, the life he thought he wanted, and the life he chose for himself -- mm, that's the good stuff

[@revan4130]

Genuinely one of the greatest redemption arcs of all of fiction

[@closetweeb892]

Zuko will always be my number one favorite character. We watched him grow into the best version of himself, and we learned that growth takes time and patience. Not only that but if we want growth to happen in our lives we need to be patient with ourselves, even when things seem impossible or like the whole universe is against us. I love avatar the last air bender so much, and I don’t ever think that I’ll forget about the series.

[@socalspirit805]

He’s my favorite character out of the entire avatar universe. He has my respect & love. He’s so relatable bc like a lot of traditional families, it’s extremely difficult to break off of those family ties that put an extraordinary amount of pressure on you, especially a man, to continue the family legacy. Every so often, though, that chain is broken though the realization & courage, of that one member. I love you Prince Zuko, even if you’re only a fictional character. You are real to me.

[@macchiatodimila7907]

The 17 people who didn't like this still haven't found their honor. Words cannot describe the feeling I got from this video. I guess just motivation and just... I see why all the girls faun over Zuko now. Damn... So cool, such great character development and this just showed all of that in such a brilliant way. Enormous respect for how long that must've taken to compile all those clips together in a kick ass way. 👍🏻👌
