Honestly, I think Azula would kill her father if it meant she could easily seize the throne...the only thing she wants from her father's approval is that when she has it, she's allowed more power. (Heck, they just did the prison episode, and Azula's allies pretty much came out and said they help her only because they're terrified of her. Look at how she treats Ty Lee when she first recruits her!) Azula is a total sociopath.

2023-04-04 05:03:47 +0000 UTCThe show definitely give hints about this being the case, too. They're just sparse and so overshadowed by her mean side that not everyone notices.

2023-04-04 02:11:33 +0000 UTCI would argue that to an extent they both do bad things for that reason. Still a great point though.

2023-04-04 02:09:19 +0000 UTCcould you tell me where I could find these creators comments?

2023-02-10 21:45:29 +0000 UTCThe Oak is amazing in that he was able to pick up on the signs with Azula. I wont give spoilers but the creators did make very clear comments on what they had planned for her, and there are comics after the show ends that kind of delves into the firenation royal family dynamics. its so interesting and i love the game of throne comparisons.

2023-02-10 21:34:19 +0000 UTCHey! it's always an interesting convo about nature vs nurture regarding her. I don't agree that she's just born evil tbh. Kids generally do questionable things & it's adults' job to teach them it's wrong. They act impulsively & test limits. Here we see Zuko hit the duck as Azula does & their mother scolds him about it. True, we don't know if her father told her to exert power over her friends/brother, but it's learned behavior (probably saw him do it to his subordinates). Ozai doesn't like weakness so he'd think Zuko deserved it. He shows obvious disdain for him which Azula mirrors. I agree he rewards her cruelty, I also think he breeds it in her. (She's still a bi*** tho, as the Answer would say hahaha)

2023-01-22 09:06:16 +0000 UTCAzula does do bad things because she likes to do them. Don't get me wrong! She absolutely was influenced heavily by her father. His parenting is highly questionable at best. He's ruthless and rewarded her for being the same. But her father gravitated to her because she demonstrated similar personality traits to his, even as a young child. Azula was a pretty naturally evil kid already. She was already smart, cunning and a child prodigy from the beginning. Her father didn't tell her to treat her brother or friends like crap when they were kids. She did it because she liked it. The mother even asks, "What is wrong with that child?" She wasn't just talking about at that particular moment. Azula had a way about her that worried her mom and made her think she was a monster. Those same traits resonated with her dad and he rewarded her for it.

2023-01-21 01:40:51 +0000 UTCYeah, being that close to her father, its almost expected to be like him in that regard.
Badd Medicine
2023-01-19 21:16:08 +0000 UTCYes! Wow, all great points! Itโs also interesting to note that Azula is the second born, much like Ozai himself. So, Iโm sure he saw more of himself in her and her character as the 2nd born as well. Lots of parallels between Zuko and Iroh, Azula and Ozai.

2023-01-19 17:46:29 +0000 UTCI think a lot of people misread Azula's character. She doesn't do bad things because she likes them. She's ruthless because it's what her father and grandfather (literally named after him) have always expected from her. Like Oak said she was raised closely by their father, because she does have naturally great talents. She knows if she ever fails, she'll get the same treatment Zuko was subject to, and the treatment Ozai got from his father Azulan.

2023-01-19 16:53:55 +0000 UTCYeah I was hoping for that as well! Their post episode discussions on their shows are getting better, Iโm excited for them to develop their channel and get to a place where those deep discussions will happen on shows!

2023-01-18 16:20:23 +0000 UTCtiny detail here but when Zuko states who he is when fighting the earth kingdom guy he states his mother before his father, a nod to him connecting himself more to his mother than father.

2023-01-18 02:52:45 +0000 UTCTo sync it, I usually put the video on my side right at the first frame after the white title/name of the episode disappears. And I press play when I see the same frame on their side. Usually have no issues doing that.

2023-01-18 01:03:53 +0000 UTCI love the last thing Zuko's mom said to him ''Never forget who you are'' There are a lot of references to Zuko being ''lost'' in the episodes, often said by his uncle who's seen him grow and change. Zuko's arc is so interesting to me because even if we know he's an antagonist, we still, as viewers, find ourselves rooting for him and hoping for a redemption. For example when there's a fight vs Azula or vs tugs, or when he's defending/protecting the weak. His mistakes, his struggles, his fears, his hopes, makes him very human, which is why we can't help but grow fond of him in a way. And then there's Azula. As the youngest sibling in my family, my other sibling being my big brother, I can definitely relate to that sort of competition there is between siblings. My personality is completely different from Azula, but I can't help but recognize I've also felt a bit at competition with my brother when I was younger. I was more studious and calm than him, while he was a bit more of a troublemaker, didn't do well in school, got into fights, and many other things, etc. My parents were very disapproving of his behavior, and as a younger child, I noticed it. I liked being what my parents expected me to be. It felt rewarding and fulfilled me in a way. My brother and I are now 27 and 29, and we've only had a conversation not too long ago at how he's always thought I was 'perfect' and he was envious. That statement from him made me cry, because I knew it wasn't true. I told him I only really did things that I knew were right by seeing how my parents reacted to my brother 'doing wrong'. In a sense, it was a bit of a faรงade on my part, to 'look perfect', but on the other side, I was also envious of my brother for so many other things. And I told him that. He was more outgoing, more selfless, had more friends, while I became very solitary, anxious around people, sheltering myself. He didn't necessarily have that pressure to do things perfectly, and it was okay, he had more freedom, etc. And to this day, I think he's the best brother one could ever wish for. He's doing great. He learned from his mistakes, I learned from his mistakes. He grew from them, and I just wontedly shaped myself in what I believed I should look like. I'm just empty lol. In a way, I think Azula is a bit of the same. Obviously, I think she's extremely mean but she probably learned that from her father, and noticed that he approved when she acted like that. It made him like Azula more than Zuko, who was supposed to be his heir, and she continued on that path. Anyway, long comment and slightly personal but I thought the comparison might be interesting to share. Can't wait for the next episodes!! ^^

2023-01-18 00:45:13 +0000 UTCIt would be nice if you could tell us the pause point before you hit play. So if I skip my intro and hit pause, it may say I am at 01:23 into the show. If you told us what your pause point is before hitting play, I could pause mine at the same time for better syncing. Just a suggestion. ๐
Ginger
2023-01-18 00:42:29 +0000 UTCThe Oak brought up a great point of Azula almost taking the first son role for Firelord Ozai. I never thought of it that way but that would really explain why their relationship is so strong and why she is so much like her father. Great as usual guys!

2023-01-17 20:29:13 +0000 UTCI was so excited for ya'll to get to Zuko Alone! And really appreciate the Oak getting tto the meat of the toxic family dynamics at play amongst the Fire Nation royal family. So many people really only consider how Zuko was raised, they don't really want to give Azula the benefit of the doubt. Which is understandable, she is a ruthless villain but she was raised in the same environment and Oak really got that. I do think Azula would dominate in Westeros, though! No doubt about it.

2023-01-17 15:56:30 +0000 UTCMan, I always forget how good this show gets in season 2. Especially Zuko's backstory. By the way, they are making animated movies that go with the animated series. They will be theatrically released starting next year. Can't wait. Plus, there's a new live action Netflix series to look forward to. Most of the main cast is already cast. So, check that out. Glad they're keeping this franchise alive!

2023-01-17 15:40:20 +0000 UTCIroh looked at Toph for a second and realized she was with the Avatar that gave Azula her out, because if he had been focused on her then she was done for. Rare misstep by Iroh. Azula is too smart to look away from.
Jam
2023-01-17 15:20:28 +0000 UTCLove these episodes! Thanks for doing them! I'm a bit surprised that you guys didn't talk more about Iroh being next in line to be fire lord and the shady things surrounding Azulon's death/Ozai's ascension to power/mom disappearing. I was interested in hearing your thoughts on those. However great reaction as usual. I particularly liked the commentary on Azula's upbringing and the family dynamics that perhaps led to her being the way she is.
Amber Reed
2023-01-17 15:12:38 +0000 UTCTwo fantastic episodes! The way Azula, without hesitation, attacks her uncle...not only as a relative (we know she doesn't care about family at this point) but also because she knows the effect it will have on Zuko. Zuko does bad things because he wants his father's approval, Azula does bad things because she *enjoys* it. She's a tactical genius...evil, but still dangerously smart.
