People are talking about that preposterous combination of items on that bread but somehow we’re ignoring ā€œsalad creamā€
The American mind cannot comprehend the pub cheese and onion roll

Like if we think about it, you could reasonably theorize Zuko’s apparent lack of skill next to Azula is not just a gap in talent, but a difference in disposition. Zuko naturally gears towards traits the Fire Nation disdains, so, it follows it would affect his Firebending.
People see Zuko surrounded by prodigies and think that means he’s a bum like he wasn’t moving like this even pre-Dragon

Like really ponder this. Aang struggles with Earthbending because the practice is so anathema to his personality and way of looking at the world. Once Toph begins to adapt her training to his sensibilities and him to hers, he gets and becomes proficient rather quickly.

Zuko is similar, in that he was simply a Firebender who was always meant to harness it the true way, being forced to harness his nation’s perversion of it. This is why his already considerable skill increased so drastically after the dragons; he found the way he needed.

Some of u forgetting zuko is still a master from the royal bloodline who was blessed by the dragons themselves and also a master swordsman with incredible stealth, enough to break into and out of a prison, the boy is incredibly far from weak

I’m glad this was said because too many people mistake Azula’s efficiency for morality. Her whole deal is that she takes the most effective route to her goals; she won’t kill if she doesn’t have to, but if she does, there isn’t anyone she won’t.
that’s one of the things about Azula that I find interesting. while she undoubtedly had evil intentions, at the end of the day her actions still caused the least amount of death compared to Iroh or Ozai, while still technically being a more successful conqueror ā˜ ļø

What’s interesting to note is that Mai experiences what is basically a lesser version of what Iroh did; she supported the Fire Nation’s cause until she was forced to confront the fact that the love she had for those close to her and complicity in the regime are irreconcilable.
people complain about mai’s change of heart being ā€œillogicalā€ when she literally told the audience that love is not something you can ā€œcalculateā€ and trying to frame it as such defeats the whole purpose

The choice Mai made was the right one, not the logical one, and this is part of what breaks Azula. She cannot comprehend how one could simply not care about the consequences of failure and disloyalty, because to her, failing and being alone were the worst things that could happen

Love can’t be controlled. Azula tried to control it. She couldn’t. She failed. Mai won here either way.

It’s funny because taking the city down from the inside was Plan B. Plan A was quite literally attacking the wall directly 😭 Azula’s greatest and maybe most overlooked asset is her adaptability.
Replying to @uukhanu
whose idea could it possibly be to lead aang to the wrong place… maybe the crown princess who sits in military meetings helped? taking down the city from inside is way more of a genius move than just… attacking the wall directly

I wouldn’t be surprised if she noticed how the Gaang destroyed the Drill from inside and applied that reasoning to Ba Sing Se. She learned that if all effort has been focused on an impenetrable shell, the inside was likely to be vulnerable. And she was right.

She is able to assess a situation, deduce its mechanics, and make them work to her favor. That’s why she succeeded, because she can recognize an opportunity when it presents itself in ways others might not.
