This is as close to perfection as you can get for a well constructed story from start to finish. Avatar the last airbender is the best and that is never gonna change
Iroh accepting Zuko gets me EVERY TIME 😢❤
Something I love with the first part is that when Zuko attacks Aang, there isn't a single moment where the Gaang think he's betrayed them, with Sokka the fact that Zuko's attacking Aang is almost an afterthought, and even by the end, they know that there is a reason for what he's doing. It shows how they have all truly come to trust him.
Everything in this story began with a friendship between a Firelord and an Avatar. And that's exactly how it ends. With that friendship restored.
They have graphic novels that tell you about Zuko's mom.
I will never get over how solemn the music is when Zuko is fighting his sister, it isnt victorious or heroic, it isnt even tense...its just somber and sad, like there isnt a victory to be won there. its just a brother having to fight his struggling sister. Its so amazing,
LOL, Again, Avatar Kyoshi - "Damn right you should kill that man, and you should DO IT AGAIN!"
7-8 Years old coming home from School Foxtel Turning on Nickelodeon & seeing this Masterpiece🥹
Sasuke, Zuki, and Tuff shall live in our hearts forever.
One thing that I noticed is Zuko season 1 actually technically achieved his goal - bring the Avatar home and restore his honour, which he did.
