I just learned that the text on Lu Tens picture translates to this;
To General Iroh: See you after we win the War. Your loyal son Lu Ten.
Jet was a fucking dumbass. For all he knew, iroh could have been a waterbender. Water benders can heat up liquid too.
Let’s talk Avatar!
So whenever people are asked who their favourite character is, they usually say Toph. Makes sense, she’s rowdy and makes jokes about her own disability turned strength and yeah, she is a strong character.
But she is not my favourite.
Iroh is. From the start, it’s clear that he’s not really a bad guy, more of a neutral. More of a voice of reason. And as you get to know more about his backstory, it becomes clear why he does this. He’s not a silly joke telling elder, he’s a tired old man who is trying to help his nephew to the correct path. He sees beyond nationality, he sees beyond what the firenation believe. He fought for the city he once tried to conquer. And even on his dead sons birthday, he finds a way to help out the lives of people around him. He even finds a way to forgive his nephew who betrayed him. He is, in my opinion, the best character in avatar.
Can we agree that Iroh was the best character in Avatar?
And that his tale of ba sing se was one of them most powerful scenes.
I mean, seriously. Look at this. It makes people cry for a character who was never even shown because of how one of the calmest and nicest characters are reacting.
Agreed, he was an amazing character. When Zuko betrayed him it broke my heart.
And when Zuko reunited with him… It mended my heart.
"I was never angry with you. I was sad, because I was afraid you’d lost your way"
“ I did lose my way.”
“But you found it again.”
