Verse of the Day (as related to the topic of this video):
"Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort], as [something done] for the Lord and not for men, knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [greatest] reward. It is the Lord Christ whom you [actually] serve." - Colossians 3:23-24 (AMP)
A movie I highly recommend: The Gospel According to Matthew (starring a very animated and engaging acting performance by Bruce Marchiano, who plays Jesus). This is a word-for-word adaptation that has a unique take on the body language and charisma of Jesus, and also makes it easier to understand and quicker to read the story. I am hopeful that this movie gives you peace, love, hope, security, comfort, and answers, as it did me, and continues to do to this day. God bless you.

Zuko’s character development in this show is simply beautiful. The moment he realised he was angry at himself hits hard for me.
The Beach hit me hard because they openly spoke about their feelings which I never got to do in my guardians house.
@@youtubecommentergal4346 I don’t get to do that with my mum either. That’s why the beach scene hits home for me.
It Gave Me Chills For Some Long And Still Could Depending How I'm Feeling & What I'm Going Thru Or Who I'm Watching It With
_"My girlfriend turned herself into a moon."_
*That's rough buddy.*
Imagine your friend say this to you 😂
The best thing is, Zuko was there when it happened!
@@JonathanMandrake I don't think he saw it though because he wasn't in the general area.
My grandpa turned himself into a pickle. Funniest shit I've ever seen
Couldn't agree more with this. The moment when Uncle Iroh hugs him after everything, Zuko's face in shock is just, absolute proof that this poor boy was convinced that he was unworthy of love and that is a terrible thing for someone to live with, while also Beautiful to see that he had his Uncle there for him, to prove to him that of course he's worthy of love, and most of all. Forgiveness.
I'd say zuko still wasn't worthy of love.
Iroh loved him anyway.
Zuko betrayed him, hurt him, pushed him away, and sent him to jail.
But iroh loved him.
Zuko didn't deserve it, and Iroh did it anyway .
That's why it's beautiful
@@Joe_Pittard That's the point of unconditional love. Loving no matter what.
Every one deserves to be loved , it is not fair that Zukos father taught him that just because you did something wrong(which he didn't)you don't deserve to have the love, compation and forgiveness of the ones that love you the most. But... that's just my opinion🤗🤗🤗
*cries hysterically*
@@Joe_Pittard Zuko sucks man I wish he never existed
Zuko had the best redemption arc
Zuko and uncle Iroh have permanently impacted me through my life and still do. Unreal show!
I find it interesting that Zuko was chasing freedom not honer and Aang as an airbender represents the element of freedom.
A wise man once said: You can never know pride unless you know shame.
Yes
“Pride isn’t the opposite of shame, but it’s source.” Uncle Iroh.
I have always related to Zuko during my formative years. To this day, Zuko's arc going from angsty antagonist with so much emotional baggage and trauma to his emotional confusion to finding his true path in terms of redemption and finding true friends and family in Team Avatar, i.e. Aang, Toph, Katara, Sokka, and Suki, as well as forgiveness and unconditional love through his surrogate father, Uncle Iroh, to ascending the throne as Fire Lord is the most beautifully woven story I have ever witnessed on the small screen.
The best thing about Avatar is that the story goes about a 112 year old boy who gonna save the world. Anyways what makes the show great is that every character has his own storyline and how it shapes his/her personality. It feels like it’s not always about the Avatar but people around him need to be praised like everyone got a piece of the Avatar in them selves too
Exactly the reason why I'm never satisfied with Legend of Korra. I love Korra's Saga. But it was so wasted because there were so many potential for background exploration such as the remaining Equalists, Red Lotus, etc. Mako and Bolin had terrible childhood and never got explored how their lives were before firebenders struck their parents down. Asami never had anything on her despite seemingly like a good character to be explored. Zaheer and others also, and many more. It's like the series was rushed.
That is why the show is impeccable and will go down in history as one of the greatest kids cartoons of all time.
Zuko is definitely a character I related to the most as someone who tried to please someone who didn’t care for years, struggled with anger and trauma, suffered abuse from a family member, ex friends, and ex boyfriends, and had issues with my father who wasn’t around. Just like Zuko I only had one person who “ grounded me “ and gave me advice and that was my grandmother.
Damn. That 5 second clip of Iroh saying he wasn’t mad, just sad. Has me in tears all over again. Such a powerful moment.
When iroh hugged zuko after he apologized for losing his way I literally burst into tears
Zuko is such a relatable, complex and strong character.
Zuko and uncle Iroh singlehandedly made the Avatar so much better. They made my childhood better!
Thank you whoever wrote and animating Avatar the last airbender 😂
Wouldn't that be double-handedly?
I love the character development in Zuko in the show. The part where Zuko apologizes afraid his uncle is angry with him (which he isn't) for the things he's done in the past really hit me and I love it.
Zuko is easily the greatest character ever created. The struggles he faces are so real and how he learns to overcome them is nothing short of inspiring. I myself have had to deal with so problem in my life and watching Zuko face everything from his banishment to trying to find his place in the world always gave me hope. He's my favorite character ever and he's the inspiration for the main character in my own story. I owe him so much and he's not even real.
This video came out at the perfect time for me, because I literally just started rewatching ATLA.
What I LOVE about Zuko is that he's such a relatable character. The voice actor for him, Dante Bosco, did a great job expressing Zuko's emotions, especially his anger. We're all like Zuko. Sometimes, we all make mistakes, we all get sad, we all get angry, we all can get emotional and tend to have anger issues. We sometimes go through traumatic experiences that can affect us deeply as we get older. Heck, even I can relate to Zuko. I have anger issues and get angry often and I can get emotional sometimes, but that's okay. I have flaws, just like Zuko, and I embrace them. Zuko also has flaws, like having anger issues, and he embraces them because that's what makes him who he is and that's what makes him human.
I just finished Avatar a few weeks ago and I loved it, easy 10/10
Where can you watch it
I see you everywhere :0
@@Alex-kn4gk Netflix
Your channel has given validity to my latest dive down the nostalgic hole (cartoons vs animated series). I appreciate you. 💕
Thank you for getting me through a tough time you helped a lot
Uncle Iroh is the coolest person in the universe, change my mind.
This show is legendary and I'm glad I grew up watching it. Zuko has the best character development as well.
Great video, I went through a lot when I was a kid and had many pent up emotions. I honestly love Zuko and his story
Also can you do a video on Sokka? I think most people over look his story because it was more subtle but he went from being an arrogant, sexist and insecure boy that had so much self doubt and had amazing people around him (he couldn't bend) to a confident man. He didn't realise how valuable he was coz of his doubt and I think a lot of people had a lot of insecurities and do relate to him but in a much more subtler way. I never noticed it myself until I rewatched it when i was older
This is still my favorite show of all time because of the deep conversations that can arise from it like this. This show is so relatable and I love how you break everything down for in depth understanding👌🏾
He's definitely one of the most reletable characters in animation,but I wouldn't go so far as to call him"the most reletable character in animation".
I believe that to be Squidward
@@niggato23 facts
who, for you, would be the most relateable then? We have TONS of options to choose from :)
@@korratheaustralianshepherd5804 Well that's hard to say.
Relatability in general can be very subjective depending on what person you are or what kind of struggles you deal with.
Objectively speaking there are many characters in animation that can be considered as reletable but as far as"the most reletable character"goes,that is an entirely subjective matter in it's own way.
Personally I have many characters that I can relate to for me to pick a favorite and zuko is one of them.
Yeah I agree, I personally relate to denji from chainsaw man more than zuko
One of your previous videos made me watch the whole series and now you made another one and i can fully understand it, great job
I actually binged watched the entire series just for this video. It was worth it though.
But it’s mistaken though. The thing he fails to grasp is that there aren’t lessons in the media he talks about. It’s all just the opinions of the creator, they don’t reflect reality itself.
@@Darkloid21 Interesting argument,but I believe that is the point.
The writer is a human being like us and just like us he also has his own way of perceiving and expressing the idea of reality and how he views it.
In the end it all comes down to who can relate to that reality and if it impacts their lives in a meaningful way.
After all fiction is simply a way of self-expression and it's because of that,that fiction is capable of touching our hearts because it gives us something inspiring or something to relate and learn from.
It's not really a matter of what's right or wrong but how much faith you're willing to put in that reality that's what decides your future.
@@anxhelovucinaj1576 faith never affected the outcome of anything.
@@Darkloid21 actually if you look at history,you'd be surprised to see just how much faith can affect the outcome of something
wow, this advice of broadening our perspective is incredibly eye-opening and meaningful. I've watched the series countless times but never have I been able to understand the true gravity of Zuko's character: for what you have described, painfully true as it is necessary for us to continue trying to be honest internally, even when those in our lives intervene. one of the best pearls of wisdom I've come across in my time, my gratitude for your work of art that is this channel.
Another excellent video! Zuko is an inspiration to many of us who go through internal struggles of self-forgiveness.
One thing i love about this show and it's why i keep rewatching it is bc i can connect with every character somehow. I have Aang pacifism and spirtuality, Katara rebelious sentiment, toph individuality and Sokka's sense of humor.
But one of the characters i most deeply connect is Zuko. His jorney and development inspire me on life. I was a jerk, lots of times, i lied, i was angry, i betrayed people i loved, i messed up real bad some times. But at that period, like you said, i was "brain-washed" by others ideas, but when i passed through deep comtemplation and reflexion i lighten my way up. And it wasn't one time or two, it requiered and still require A BUNCH OF TRIES.
Today i have people whom love me, and like me. But i was alone before, thiking i would be forever lost, in the dark, confused and living on a meaningless life. Finding my on way of restoring my honor, is what saved me. And i can only get better and better from here.
We all change, we just need time.
Its a great video. Zuko is my favorite character of Avatar and I always feel like he is for me a great character because I feel like him sometimes in my life. Im a teenager and I feel like Zuko in some occasions, angry, frustraded and lost but even if I have this emotions I hope that the day of tomorrow I can be a good person and live in peace with others but most important with myself.
Right now I feel lost and I dont know what the future may bring to me but Aang said once "When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change." I hope I can be a better human in the future and be proud of myself.
I wish everyone who is reading this to have health and love, take care of yourself cause you did a great work.
Btw, I really like your videos. Greetings.
This channel is a well of non-toxic positivity I never knew I needed!!
Zuko has THE best arc out of all other cartoon characters. Change my mind!
Chasing validation is more meaningless than you think
10:54 dude, this scene made my eyes teary. Uncle Iroh is the best man on earth (of cartoons). My favorite character of all time. I try to be like him every day 😥.
Avatar is a masterpiece of a show
Omg the graphic of you and Aang at the end is adorable
I relate to him thanks from almost losing the same eye to fire and everything you said
Perfect writing and character development
I always related to Aang because my personality is more like his. Although I can Relate to Zuko more now because of the family dynamics, especially after my father died and my mother joined the Fire Nation. 🩸🔥
Zuko reminds me a lot of Shoya from A Silent Voice, I feel like they’d be good friends.
This video is beautiful, i really needed this, thank you so much🎈🤎❤️
Avatar has been a great show that is still relatable to this day
Seriously love every video about Zuko you make, just complete beauty when you analyze him
Your videos😔is so heartwarming and amazing to listen to,your voice as well. Thank you for being yourself and doing what you do.🙏🏾❤️🇿🇦
Your content is awesome! This gave me a lot of feels.
Oi You deserve love and appreciation don't let no Ozai put u down
I like Zuko because I could relate with the trauma of having an authoritative parent figure and the fact that no matter what he did to try to gain approval it was never good enough. I could relate to that. Honestly I could relate with so many of ATLA's characters.
My top five fave characters are Katara, Sokka, Aang, Zuko and Toph. I relate with each of them in a different way.
Also I love your videos. I watch them all the time to help me solidify the lessons I’m learning in life
Such an amazing reflection thank you for giving kindness through your words
Zuko presents a very realistic depiction of trauma, healing and redemption. I don’t care who dogs me for it.
Zuko is one of my favorite characters of all time and I think it goes without saying that his character development is the best in any media I've seen.
You, nerdstalgic and Jordon Fringe offer so much good insight into cartoons and television and are all a blast to listen to
Omg so relatable!!!! I too was banished and given a 3rd degree burn by my father!!
setting my alarm for 9:00
I never knew I was turning more and more into a Zuko character. I have hurt others, and I also spoke out of anger because nobody let me speak what I wanted, and I once started a school fight and was suspended. My dad said nobody ever just "forgives" me and just turns passive aggressive and ignored me.
Zuko was the favorite Avatar character of one of my college friends! Her favorite Final Fantasy character? Sephiroth! Her favorite Ben 10 alien? XLR8!
You have taught me many things, thank you man
I'm glad that you exist
I knew there was something about your channel and you sharing the Jay Shetty quote highlighted that our paths are similar, I think. This idea of forgiveness is so internal and is rarely about other people, but is about what we ourselves are willing to accept of ourselves and the mistakes we are willing to accept as learning opportunities. Flameo, hotman! Watching this video was not rough, buddy! Well done!
Appreciate the love brotha. Keep up the great work 🤙🏾
Amazing content, and killing it with the calisthenics game. Very impressive!
Such a well done video bro!
Beautiful 🥺💗
this is my new favorite channel to have in the background while i play tetris
When I was young Zuko was my favorite but now it's Iroh. The wisdom he bestows is quite literally life changing.
beautifully made!
1:42 I still ship Zuko with that tea Girl on Ba sing se
Amazing Episode
Hybrid Calisthenics, Made2Express, CoryxKenshin & Ralph Smart are my go to RUclipsrs rn
Ayo if you like hybrid calisthenics you might like noel deyzel. He’s dos RUclips shorts about life advice and health tips. He’s really good.
What up fellow CoryxKenshin fan
i love zuko but i think the pines twins are way more relatable
Amazing vid. I struggle w self doubt a lot cause I'm a perfectionist and my Dad never really meant to but was hard on me making me feel like I could never live up to his expectations. Later on I realizied that trying to be like my father was the problem, instead of being me. RUclips and the community Im a part of has really helped me realize its okay to be me & I do have something awesome to share; I just had to realize that all I had to do was put it out there and go from there regardless of the outcome (within reason of course).
CANT WAIT TO WATCH!!!
Can you make videos on Kung Fu Panda, Httyd, Aladdin, Beauty and the beast, The lion king and Wreck it Ralph they can be messages or epic speeches that would be awesome
Excellent video! Probably one of my favorites though the Confidence one was also a great one. More of these Avatar videos please! ;-)Very thought-provoking and such a universal message and show. What I wonder is what path would Zuko take if his father hadn't banished him?
He was one of my favorite characters throughout the show. I really related to that early anger and confusion. But overall identity crisis. Excellent character Growth.
Love this video bro
Zuko is the Most Relatable Character Uncle Iroh is the best character..
Ucle iroh was my second father and psychologist real og bless him 🙏
You deserve my sub bro. Respect
i have a lots of respect for zuko
The best part of the day is when made2express uploads 😊❤️
Amazing video bruv
Why do all of your videos hit my life on the bullseye every time hahaha
He's the only character that expresses being both annoyed and depressed
Great video
Great video! Keep going! :D
Personally, I think Zuko AND Azula are the most relatable.
Iroh is one of the best characters in any kind of show ever.
Best video yet
I know why I subscribed your channel. But please stop making me cry all the time xD
I love your videos bro
"I was never angry with you. I was sad because I thought you had lost your way." 😭
I have a theory that when he was trying to make lightning and it explodes in his face. That might just be combustion bending. So maybe combustion bending is an subset of lightning that for those not in line one way or another spiritually it's more powerful than firebending generally but has not reached the lightning level or whatever
You should do an analysis on aang! I think he’s such a great and underrated character and not many talk about his character, great video tho!
Since his mom disappeared and especially after he was banished he probably didn't talk to a girl for two years. Since he was so focused on finding the Avatar. The first interaction we see him have with a girl is when he captures Katara in the waterbending scroll.
This video could not have come... at a better time in my life...
i understand where your coming from. there are times where we all go through this. there are times i almost or do relapse into my dark past behavior, but i still get over it quick because its not worth hurting myself or others the most. going through self destruction or inner battle like Zuko did or went through is a reminder that we can change OUR OWN LIFES. its like at times there no one that can help or save you, but the the person that can is you: i say that because i went through that about 5 almost 6 times. the reason i say self destruction because at times you will do anything or hurt anyone for what you want or get what you deserve.
but Zuko saved himself but realizing what HE needed to do and do what is right. but as we saw him going through the Earth Kingdom he sees and understands whats going on and what the Fire Nation has done such: the girl that was burnt and the family that had a son that was in the war and was captured(i know there is more, can remember ATM). but as Zuko and Iroh lives him life in the Ba Sing Say, Zuko then sees a new form of life working as a civilian(even though he hates it). but after he goes through the metamorphosis state, he changes into a calm, humble and loving young man: he became a calming flame of life instead of a unstable wildfire of destruction.
then though Zuko turned, part of him had regret and uneasiness but he finds the answer and goes the right way. it wasn't easy but he learned and had help from the others around him. in a way he found his center of himself and became a true hero in a way or life a real phoenix: he was reborn a new in many ways to be strong not just for other but to HIMSELF. i do agree and say Zuko is the most relatable and more realistic character of the series. i was poor as a child, grew up with the real world struggles and facing what's going on(mentally and physically).
we all have our share of: backstabbing, lying, trauma, issues showing emotions and more. but what we can do is try to remember is not to loose ourselves and our own way that we make for ourselves and stay to it, if we are lost. stop, sit down and gather your thoughts. try to remember where you are, find that direction again and go that way. if you want to change your direction to better it, think hard and well because you won't know if it will be good or bad.
Zuko was lost through each road of his life but in the end he found his way: like finding your way home. i think we all should remember that as a true life lesson and/or experience. i been through this and i bet others have. lets all remember life is hard, times will be harder, forgiveness has to be earned and remember you are strong and never give up.
Zuko is so fine
Those damn violins 😭😭😭😭
I have added you to the list "greatest RUclips channels"
