    Even his earliest appearance hints at his true character. Aang is willing to surrender if he leaves. Zuko agrees and keeps his word, leaves the village unharmed.

      I never understood why in most stories (even real life), the bad guys would just burn down the village and kill the innocent people anyway, for literally no reason. It's such a standard, that it actually stands out to us when someone keeps their word and doesn't harm the innocent civilians.
      It makes me wonder how so many people don't realise that they're evil.

      Aang the protagonist and Zuko the antagonist parallel to each other
      the act of selfishness (aang) leaving the monks that result of death of his people and the act of selflessness (Zuko) Speaking against Sacrificing his own people.

    Great video explaining his story and why his redemption arc is so good and it’s up there with Ebenezer Scrooge as one of the best redemption arcs of all time and he’s easily one of my favourite fictional characters ever and it’s hard to believe that season one Zuko and season three are the same person

    I have a theory. I believe that Azulon ordered Ozai to kill his only son for other reasons besides to teach him a lesson.
    Azulon describes Lu Ten as Iroh's beloved son. I always thought that was strange. Then, it occurred to me that Lu Ten was not only Iroh's only offspring, but Lu Ten was also Azulon's first grandchild. Azulon was grieving the death of his grandchild. Ozai sees that death as nothing more than a stepping stone to the throne. Azulon lashes out.
    More importantly, Azulon knows Ozai is a cold hearted, power hungry psychopath. His daughter, Azula, is fruit from the same rotten tree, and Zuko is weak in so many ways. If Azulon orders Zuko's death it will tear Ozai's family apart whether Ozai does it or not. It all but assures Ozai will never become Fire Lord.
    But, Azulon never thought that Ozai and Ursa would work together to kill him and take the throne. Ursa was protecting her son while Ozai would kill anyone to achieve the throne.

    How did zuko not get blinded in his left eye? His ear got barbecued so his eyelid would definitely be cooked and at best his eye would be cauterized to his retina especially considering he has a darker scar directly over his eye suggest thats where it hit directly

    I loved this video and all the insight you shared! I'm in agreement about pretty much everything you said!
    I realize that this video is a year old now, but I have some constructive criticism if you're willing to entertain it.
    It seems like some of your sentences get 'clipped' by editing. I think that can be countered by more thorough and formalized scripting.
    I also noticed that at some points, you'd abruptly cut the music, play part of another swelling, emotionally impactful song, then abruptly return to the music you had earlier. This can be jarring to the audience, and cause folks to lose focus!
    Anyway, I'm not a video creator. I might be talking out of my ass here, but I hope you're able to glean something useful from it! Thanks for your time
