You know you're living in a time of peace when your leader wants you to drink tea and be chill. The real world would be a lot more awesome if more leaders were like Iroh.
@@theflashgirl2057 , I recently saw a video of soldiers poorly mistreating an elderly man because he committed war crimes in the 90s. Even after WW2 history keeps repeating itself. What is wrong with a world where there are no conflicts for at least 100 years?
@Afrika Smith while I wouldn't condone mistreatment in this case, simply because it breeds more mistreatment and messed up people, the veterans who committed war crimes probably got off scott-free and is only now hearing anything about it... I think of the woman who aided in the muder of Emmett Till. Along with those who carried out the murder, she played a significant part in his cruel, premature death, yet was never punished for it. She's in her 80s/90s now, and her "trial" determined thst she would not go to jail for the part she played in her infamous crime. She deserved to make up for the jail time she should have served, even in her frail old age, especially because her views never changed. So if someone wanted to mistreat her for a crime she avoided being accountable for, I honestly couldn't blame them. The law failed to do so and this is a form of karma and an appropriate rejection of someone with inhumane values.
@@grayowl167 I'm not disagreeing with you but you're missing the point. Even after everyone pays for their war crimes and there's forgiveness violent conflicts somewhere else starts up again, and it's mostly over bs.

The real world could never be that simple. Leaders who solely represent themselves, undermining the voice of the people subjugated, will be selfish. Leaders, who represent and amplify the voices of the people they lead, are subjugated to adjusting their personal interests with national the agenda, which is always changing and complex. The lack of everlasting peace is at the fault of everyone. Not just the world leaders.
i feel this comic was out of character for iroh, as well as letting him become fire lord. for one, iroh had no faith in azula, so i dont know what changed his mind there. then theres the fact of making him fire lord, iroh can run the nation im sure, but he understands the politics and how him becoming fire lord right after zuko would be seen as a scheme.
Iroh is the living embodiment of everything a leader should be. Strong, determined and an authoritative presence. But also compassionate, honorable, just and benevolent. And he is also simply a great person to be around.
Zuko comes back a while later Zuko: What... what happened to the Fire Nation? Everything seems so peaceful and there is now world peace. Iroh: I gave everyone a cup of tea. Zuko: Of course you did. Of course. Iroh: Tea? Zuko: Please.
Well I didn't know that he became Fire Lord, even if it's temporary. I came back to avatar 1 year back and still got to learn much about it. But I always hoped he'd become fire lord, even if it's for short time. Happy to know that he made it.
Honestly, Iroh was such an interesting character that he deserved a whole series to himself. After the avatar last airbender, they should have made an Iroh prequel instead.
I feel like considering his age when he became fire lord Zuko should have allowed Iroh to become Iroh to become Regent while he learned how to rule in an official sense
@@xionmemoria that seems somewhat unwise, from like a political perspective. I would have Zuko still be the fire lord but like I said have Iroh as temporary reagent to mentor Zuko until he’s old enough
Uncle iroh is awesome I think after his son died he was forced by the tragedy to look at things more objectively (the invasion of ba-sing-sei the fire nation and himself) so when ozai took irou's birthright the throne uncle irou didn't care or try to flight it because he realized what's truly important that's why although he tries to guide zuko on a more positive path he was subtle in how he did so
I'm actually brewing honey orchid leaves in a little ceramic pot and drinking from little ceramic cups while watching this. I just ran out of hot water and could really use some firebending...
Me: National Tea Day?! Who came up with this?! Guard: it’s by decree of Firelord Iroh Me: AAAAH that’s right, Classic Iroh......... Waaaait a minute, FIRELORD?! Since WHEN?!!
Iroh was really the only reasonable pick. He has the education, skill and compassion to be a good ruler, and he can also be trusted to step down once Zuko returns
the dragon of the west was always far more powerful but he chose not to fight his own brother to not look like a tyrant who took by force throne he chose a more novel path
@Fishing is Living well iroh in the same talk said he wasn't sure he could beat ozai. Made it seem like they were on more equal footing. Plus even if iroh were stronger he's not as ruthless of cunning. I suspect he'd lose by being too soft and not finishing the fight when he could. Just as ang almost lost for the same reasons
@@nicholascharles9625 Nah Iroh has no issue with Murder but he didn’t care about the throne as his son was dead that’s why he didn’t care about Ozai’s treachery as he was more focused on mourning for his son and even went to the spirit world to look for him. Remember Ozai was nothing apart from being a Fire Prince. Unlike Iroh. Iroh was Crown prince, General, Hero of the Fire Nation and Dragon of the West. He knew Ozai had done foul play and had way more support than Ozai could ever have. Ozai was Zuko basically while his father was around and that was something he projected onto his first born as he saw Azula as being more like him. Iroh chose his successor in Zuko.
Sadly she's not an airbender, just a follower of Aang! He made her cover up the arrow because he didn't think it was right for non-airbenders to get the arrow!
"Homely" means ugly-sad, essentially. "Homey" means home-like. It drives me BONKERS when people screw this up. It may be even worse than the ignoramus' adulteration of "literally".
You’re wrong at the end btw. Yu Dao didn’t turn into Republic City in TLOK. It was actually a settlement called Cranefish Town that turned into the metropolis. It was introduced in a later ATLA comic series called North and South
Mann instead of doing these live actions I wish they'd just animate the stories right after the war like the search for the mom trying to kill zuko imagine those animated. And in this time to with upgraded animations..... it's like the new runners have no idea what fans really want.
One small thing, but important. Zuko didn’t break Azula out of “a” mental hospital so much as he took her out of “the mental hospital he put her into.” Do you think she just randomly ended up in one? Who exactly was the Fire Lord when that happened? Zuko. It wasn’t a random thing that he had nothing to do with. It was THE mental hospital he put her in, not just A mental hospital that randomly happened. Specificity is key to correctly relaying information & not sounding biased.
Iroh was the first born who was supposed to take the throne until Ozai grew jealous of him and wanted to steal the throne from him and their father and sent assassins to kill Iroh’s son Lu Tun in secret from his own family.
I heard that Zuko asked Iroh to do that. I wish we could see it in an episode. Zuko is my favorite character. Especially in the new Avatar series Netflix made. I love how they just litked showed more of how Zuko felt when he was banished. We got more feelings of that from Zuko in just 3 episodes than we did in one season. I just watched episode 6 and can't wait to see how it ends. And am even more excited for season 2. And I just heard that they are releasing another cartoon series when they were in their thirties. I'm hoping it will be good and not boring. Perhaps we will get more explanation about those flashbacks that Korra had. And even what I've heard from the comics.
I love how Iroh is so humble that even when he was fire lord and had all the power in the fire nation he still would have rather serve tea at his tea shop 😂
Everyone forgets that Iroh was always much stronger and powerful than Ozai. He simply changed his views and heart when his son died. He had more appreciation for his nephew and life itself
Where is this coming from? The end of the show we see Zuko as Firelord right after the war, and everything online says he was crowned IMMEDIETLY after the end of the 100 years war. Iroh even said he had 0 interest in becoming Firelord and just wanted to run his tea shop and play pai sho
In _The Search,_ the first of three comic series released after the show's end in 2008, Zuko and Azula went off to locate their mother Princess Ursa and His Majesty had Iroh appointed as regent for the time being.

Creating tea holiday when you have a tea shop, hmmm. Sounds like corruption to me
😂😂😂😂😂😂 had me weak with this!
Naw his shop wouldn't benefit from it since his shop is in ba sing se. He was creating competition for his shop tho. Sounds ethical to me 😀😆

Tea Appreciation Day is one of the best holiday
everything changed when the coffee nation attacked. also they kept their weapons, which made it a bit one sided XD
Why aren't these animated? I feel fans deserve animations of these comics over any live action

The final defeat of firelord ozai... intro correction ❤
Thanks haha my bad. Could also technically be considered Sozin's defeat too since he started the whole mess 😂
@AvatarStar i had the same thought, deffs Sozins fault, but great video none the less 👏👐
Nice to know that Zuko been fighting alongside his great grandfather all this time.
It was really interesting to see Iroh as interim Fire Lord given the fact that he was next in line of succession after Azulon.
Iroh was really the only reasonable pick.
He has the education, skill and compassion to be a good ruler, and he can also be trusted to step down once Zuko returns
That and he wanted Zuko to be leader in the first place. He's pretty much the only trustworthy one until near the TLoK era
Ikr, too bad that he was cancelled due to not having a successor and failure in Ba Sing Se.
Iroh was one my favorite characters in the series 🤩
I just wanted to see Ozai vs Iroh
That would have been really cool!

Looks like Pema, and she is the acolyte so maybe but age doesn't add up as she was born after that

@@tylerian4648 Probably
Iroh must be an inspiration from Mr. Miyagi. No family of his own, doesn't care about wealth, lives a simple life, balance matters most.
Does that mean Zuko is Daniel?
@@tamerawatkins510 Daniel and Zuko are both hothead. So I'm guessing a little.
Nice comparison...
He cares about wealth, because he has a tea shop. And i bet he doesnt live simple life.
Technically iroh was in charge until time of death 💀
Tall Aang is terrifying.
yes of yourse iroh is the perfect body double for zuko.... both being similar age and facial scars. easy to confuse those 2
Moment of silence for Mako
His first rule was making a tea day and told guard to chill in their vacation day
The best leaders are reluctant with a strong sense of responsibility. Otherwise power corrupts all too easily.
By right iroh sould been fire lord frist born right frist born get everting
Iroh never been a firelord. After Aang defeat Ozai Iroh stay as white lotos and he stay in the spirit world. Zoku is the firelord after Azula
0:04 *Ozai !!
4 seconds in you said sozen did you mean ozai or did I miss an epic rematch between a air bender and his first oppressor?
the final defeat of Fire Lord Sozin 100 years after Roku's death, more like
I think Zuko deserved to be Fire Lord, but because Iroh and Lu Ten's line would have eventually died out.
Yeah but everything changed when the vengeance thirsty earth nation attacked!
WOW! Mad Love for that info! It's been years since I watched the series, but I'm still learning stuff I never knew.
I think you mean Zuko took the thrown from Ozai, not Sozen.
Iroh going mad with power as soon as he becomes Fire Lord.
Likely didn't happen because the voice actor of Iroh died.
ozai*
Iroh: "I'll be your body double"
Zuko and basically everyone else: "Uncle I know you have good intentions but how?"
What happened to zukos mother half sister and step father did they die👨👩🧑👧
Step father?
no they didn't
@@trizimator9954 well Ursa is now married to her past lover whom she had before Ozai
What a good show!!! This is writing at its best. Id give anything to forget Airbender just to watch it new again.
I sincerely hope they have dim sum in the fire nation. Should par very nicely with the tea
Crane fish town which is near the other town is what would become republic city

I some of those panels it doesn't even look like Iroh. Was a little off.

You said fire lord Spain and I stopped listening
Wait do no one died in the graphic novel? I mean the anime is the same but it was assumed
You mean Fire Lord Ozai right?

Our dear Uncle Iroh put his trademark on firelordship
iroh was only interim fire lord while zuku sesrches for her mother
Damn Zuko went back in time and became firelord after Sozin. Didn't know time travel existed in avatar!
To the soldiers that served as his guards, it wasn't a job, it was an honor. They truly embraced the words: "We must protect this man at all costs."
I do love uncle Iroh.
Is the second last scene about Ozai and Zuko's mother?
Why Iroh became the pope
National Tea celebration day. That is so uncle Iroh.
What a tyrant! For a coffee over tea guy, forcing people to drink tea is horrifying 😰
Iroh was the first born who was supposed to take the throne until Ozai grew jealous of him and wanted to steal the throne from him and their father and sent assassins to kill Iroh’s son Lu Tun in secret from his own family.
The amount of tea in this is too British. They definitely got colonised by the British Empire
after the downfall of ozai, the rest of what had happened deserves an animated series again for this..

who are the three air bender looking people behind aang ( 3:01 ) ?

Were the white lotus guru pathik and king boomy👑
We need an animated version of of this how can they not see the potential here
Am I the only one who did not like the comics?
Everyone forgets that Iroh was always much stronger and powerful than Ozai.
He simply changed his views and heart when his son died. He had more appreciation for his nephew and life itself
Wasn’t named the Dragon of the West for nothing
How?? Iroh was dead and in the spirit realm before Zuko died??
Zuko was facing assassination so Iroh became the filler fire lord or whatever, it doesn’t matter this comic is stupid
