yo.... when jet breaks in the tea shop and accuses zuko and iroh of beinh firebenders....
do you think any of the patrons looked at zukos scarred face - obviously done by a firebender - and immediately think jet was an asshole? like
jet: hes a firebender!!!!
patrons, thinking about the backstory they concocted for zuko and iroh where their home was invaded by firebenders and they barely survived with their lifes so they could come and have a peaceful life selling tea in a city the war doesnt touch:
If you can’t be this carefree in life what’s the point
(Legend and Warriors spot each other across the rink.)
Four: What you are about to witness is two creatures who are inherently dramatic attempt to behave like they are not dramatic.
This man (thatgreygentleman) is one of my favorite creators and his hot take on Zuko’s coronation is amazing
Can we all agree that despite zuko being 16, he has proven himself more capable and effective in both diplomacy, bending, and hand to hand combat then soldiers that are in their late 20's or more with decades more experience and he just mops the floor with them? Why does no one appreciate this in fics or hell just in context?
Yes, Zuko is intelligent,
an eloquent and inspiring speaker,
a capable leader,
a skilled firebender.
and has the Fire Nation’s best interest at heart
These things are all true.
however...
He’s also an awkward dork who practices his speeches by talking to frogs,
spent a good portion of the show in Existential Crisis Mode,
and has an unfortunate habit of making impulsive, dumbass decisions that often risk his personal safety.
He has the range.
