i cannot believe some of yall genuinely think that lotor is going to get a zuko style redemption arc as if it has not been made crystal fucking clear that literally everything lotor does is for his own personal gain and his own personal gain alone. everything he has done has been to forward his position and power. he carefully plans and calculates every single thing he does so that he will always benefit from the outcome. lotor fucking invented the definition of a snake and yall think that him wanting to talk with the rebellion means that hes on their side? no. he wants something from them, its beyond obvious that he wants something from them, and yall think hes going for fucking redemption.
