Keep in mind that at its heart, ATTA is a kid's show. It has its dark moments, but this may be a little too complex for most kids to comprehend.

[@amberwings17]

After my umpteenth rewatch of the show, I realized how well they contrasted Zuko's family to Sokka and Katara's. The families both have two kids, the brother is older but the sister acts older, and lost their moms when they were young. Paired with the fact that they are fire and water too? I have nothing but appreciation for this writing

[@juu4503]

Also the fathers contrast, with sokka being closer to his dad and katara to her mom, but the opposite happening with the fire royalty family

[@shadrackudevbure8604]

And both their Fathers were leaders in the war, the brothers wanted to prove themselves to their fathers, and the absence of their mothers had a negative impact on their families (particularly on the daughters).

[@inferiorinferno8859]

@@stunner9005 That's Ozai's fault though. Ozai rewarded and praised her worst impulses. Would he allow Ursa to get help for Azula? Of course not. In fact, as a child, Azula avoids her mother and not the other way around. Because Ursa actually punishes her for her bad behavior and saw the signs before anyone else did. When Azula has a psychotic episode, Ursa isn't the center for no reason. To actually get a psychotic episode, there is usually a mental illness already present. Before her breakdown, Ursa was probably the only adult who spoke of her mental health. When she did break, people started taking the same approach as Ursa, so naturally she became convinced it was lie told to everyone by Ursa. Instead of people just getting the same conclusion.

The relationship between Zuko and his mother feels so heartbreakingly real. The way it's written just shows how much genuine love there is between the two. The writers did an incredible job of telling the story of a highly abusive family, and keeping in mind the constant emotional battles of such, even though a much larger, far more dramatic conflict is going on. Zuko was always my favourite character because I'm a sucker for angsty emo shit, but he's one of the only characters who actually does this part in a very relatable, realistic and meaningful way. He's not edgy and broodyfor the sake of being so. He has rich relationships and a backstory and he actaully grows as a character, and he grows far more than yo'ud expect someone else of his archetype to

Cause Zuko’s a cinnamon roll :3

[@nicodovahkin8822]

Because Azula has resented him throughout their entire lives, always believing that her mother loved him and didn’t love her. This is actually a common theme in abusive familys, one sibling being praised more than the other. Ursa favored Zuko and Ozai favored Azula, resulting in both of them developing major mental issues down the line. The only difference is Azula actually did love her children, whereas Ozai only ever valued them as weapons.

Poor Ursa being so young and forced to marry Ozai and her parents could do nothing about it. Ursa giving Ozai the poison that he would use to kill Azulon really was a great way for Ursa to get revenge on Azulon for ruining her younger hers years like that. I am glad she was able to get with Ikem in the end and to be with Zuko again. Gotta wonder what Iroh thinks of his father, Azulon, now does he still care about him?

[@Nemo12417]

I often hear people claim that Ozai loved Azula and hated Zuko, with Ursa being the reverse, but I don't think that second one is true at all. Ozai loved Azula because of her natural bending talents, and Zuko's seeming lack of bending abilities at a young age is why Ozai was so abusive (well, before reading the letter). Because she was loved by her father, Azula loved him in turn and sought to please him, and that's why she was the way she was. Ursa, on the other hand, loved both of her children and tried to give them what they needed. Zuko needed protection from his abusive father. Azula needed moral instruction to keep her from going down her father's depraved path. Of course, given that she was so accustomed to praise from her father, rebuke would have felt like hatred.

[@gabigomezzzzz8347]

100% agree

[@jels4089]

Yes Azula was also a victim of abuse from her father too. I hope she one day gets a redemption arc

[@arianaross5013]

I don’t think Ozai loved any of his children. I mean yeah he favored Azula for her abilities and disliked Zuko for not being the fire bending prodigy Azula was. But I don’t think he truly loved Azula, she was nothing more than a war tool to him.

[@jels4089]

Arianna Rose I agree, considering Ozai had no qualms killing his father or Zuko, I have nothing but sympathy for Azula.

[@peacendpola23]

But I do think Ursa was too critical of Azula (not as bad as Ozai was to Zuko, obviously, but then again we already stablished Ozai was a complete asshole) and most of her interactions were she calling Azula out on her behavior and encouraging Zuko. For a little girl, that could have been quite sad, to be honest, we don't really see much of Ursa's and Azula's relationship, but what we saw was kind of sad, it would be very hurtful to hear your own mother say "what is wrong with that child"

[@chandancarmaniac222]

Azula turned out like that because she received no love from her parents. Though her mother loved her, she does not show her love to Azula as she did with Zuko. And the father Ozai was only interested in power, which made Azula feel like she had to prove that she was more powerful than everyone else. I feel bad about how Azula's life turned out...

[@tildag.9809]

Chandan k that’s not true. It was just her nature. Zuko went through the same thing but he reacted differently

[@jude3426]

Azula and Zuko had the same life but reacted differently. Azula had a more darker nature, even at a young age. Which begs the question, why? Was it a mental disorder? Was she deranged from birth? yes there are many factors that played into this, as you said her mother favored zuko more, but I think that’s because azula was so different from her brother. She enjoyed his pain, and the father was harder on Zuko, which is why she made up for that by showing him extra love. Either way you slice it it’s just sad.

[@MissArbie]

Azula is a true psychopath, that was shown from the beginning and throughout. Her mother never stopped loving her. And yeah, that is how psychology, and physiology works.

[@GamingStar95]

I agree. Azula Was jealous of Zuko's special treatment and favored her dad's sense of power that he desire. She won her dad's interest by being strong. That drove her mad because she still didn't receive love. She had to work really hard to gain very little of it. She even tried to hook up with a cute guy but she had no concept of love and told the dude she wanted to destroy the world with him. Dude got scared and ran away. I feel for Azula a bit more than Zuko. Azula was mentally and emotionally abused. Zuko was just Physically abused.

Honestly I would have preferred this as a spin off over legend of korra.... korra was OK but the original story just hits u in the feels Also ozai sucks ..... .........................................................

It would make sense if that's how it happened because Ozai would need it to appear as an accident in order to go to his father and ask for the throne......just my two cents

I genuinely enjoyed season 3 it was the only season that felt like avatar to me for some reason. The villain was kinda dumb like your this smart and spiritual but you didn't know the results of anarchy the main goal of your group honestly I kinda hoped they would've captured Korra as a kid seems like a more interesting story. Then season 4 was okay I liked the villain she had a good goal to stop the power vacuum and bring peace cause the avatar wasn't doing it. She accepted the means and honestly she was the villain because she was a dick. The asami Korra thing i loved not cause I'm lgbt but because all of Korra scenes with mako were.....garbage.

Aang is connected to Roku as the Avatar, but he is his own person with his own lineage. So no, not really, but it explains why Zuko and Aang's story and development paralleled each other throughout the show.

[@mickhailreeves7517]

@@recoveringintrovert717 i gotta disagree the avatars are reincarnation they share a soul so they are the same person which is why aang can turn into roku sometimes but they are also separate people

[@lilchristuten7568]

-.- this actually opens up a problem for this story. If Roku is Zuko's great grandfather how could 100 years have passed between Aang being pronounced avatar and the events of the last airbender? Roku was an old man when he died, his granddaughter, Zuko's mom, would have undoubtedly been born by that time, before Aang was born, so she would have to be over 112 years old. Even if she wasn't born for another 30 years, i.e. her mother or father was still in the womb when Roku died, she would still be around 70 years old by the time Aang emerged from the iceberg which means she would have given birth to Zuko when she was 54. Even if her parents waited until they were in their 50s to have her, she would still have been in her 30s when she gave birth to Zuko. In their world marriage seems to happen before the age of 20, meaning it would have been 10+ years between them getting married and Zuko being born. There's just too many things that don't make sense in the story for her to be Roku's granddaughter. Great granddaughter or great great granddaughter yes, granddaughter no.
