    Ozai didn't only scorn Zuko because he wasn't gifted. He found out that Urza had written that she wished her former lover was the father of her child. From then, Ozai, petty king, said that he would not treat Zuko as his own... I think she had to beg for Zuko's life. It's crazy to think, but Zuko was raised in a single parent home even though his sister wasn't .

    This show is so perfect man. I loved the character development for Zuko so much! See when you have a bad amd abusive father you either allow yourself to become him or worse to your kids, or you become everything you wanted/needed as a child growing up to your kids. We got to experience him becoming his father while zuko idolized him and did everything he could to make him proud but thanks to the guidance of everyone' (favorite) uncle Zuko became a better person, learned to coexist or overcome his demons, and successfully became everything that his father wasnt as a man. So in the end of an amazing journey, Zuko become everything he wanted but most importantly became a great, loving, and kind Father. Truly this show was a masterpiece. It's so sad that I don't see any possibility of another sequel or prequel achieving the level of rewatch ability, connection, of love for the characters and show in general.

      Oh yeah but when you think about it; Ozai's terrible parenting did teach Zuko how to be a better father for his daughter. I mean, I feel like Zuko definitely deserved better and in a way he did indeed earn a better father figure; Uncle Iroh. Iroh was always there for Zuko even when he thought that Iroh was being annoying and lazy. It was indeed heartwarming when they reunited and Iroh hugged Zuko with Zuko not able to understand and said that he thought that Iroh was gonna be mad with him. Iroh just replied by basically saying that he was so worried for Zuko's mental compass and that he had found his way back to Iroh. That made me feel like that Iroh should've been Zuko's father, not Ozai.

  • @thanos9225

    Seems like the whole ATLA actually focused on Aang and Zuko's life as parallel, there were many scenes where both Zuko and Aang's stories mirrored each other, for example : Bitter Work. And there were also scenes where Aang and Zuko's feelings/emotions were shown mirrored each other, for ex : the ending of The Blue Spirit. And the most blatant comparison is when Aang and Zuko danced with the dragons in Firebending Masters, the frames shown each of them dance with a dragon behind them, Aang with the blue one and Zuko with the red one. Not to mention the conclusion of the story, where both the Avatar and the Firelord stood side by side before the nations.
    I forgot to add that one episode (i think it was The Storm) where the scenes kept switching between Aang and Zuko's background stories. Plus, the fact that both Aang and Zuko seemed to be "special", with Aang being the Avatar and Zuko the great-grandson of both the previous Avatar and the Firelord who started the war.

    • @sonderly7820

      This parallel between Aang and Zuko is similar to Darth Vader and his son, Luke Skywalker.

    • @thanos9225
      @thanos9225 Před 3 lety +16

      @@sonderly7820 True. Since the big story here is war, and wars always have two sides. And the big message is to make peace, not to defeat. Aang represents the people under oppression and Zuko represents the oppressor. The war could not end if the Fire Nation--Zuko's side--did not want peace. Thus making Aang and Zuko's reconciliation as the "real" end of war and the beginning of peace. The battle between Ozai and Aang was just a climax scene to show how the good guy kicked the bad guy's ass.
