Since Zuzu got his lashings last week, it's now Azula's turn to get mischaracterized!

What is the worst Azula take by ATLA fandom?

All of Azula's bad actions are secretly Zuko/Iroh/Ursa/Mai/Ty Lee's fault

Azula was born evil, is incapable of remorse and has no chance of redemption

Azula killed Katara's mother

Azula is a bad firebender

Azula wasn't abused by Ozai

Azula was a good friend/sister

Azula slept her way to the top

Azula shooting lightning at Katara was totally justified

Azula is a pacifist

Azula is a feminist girlboss lesbian who hates men and patriarchy

Azula has *insert armchair psychology diagnosis here*

Azula is a murder clown who loves torture and bathes in her enemies' blood

Zuko’s scar is different than most villains scars, like most of them are to show past violence or brute strength or how much of a tank they are. Zuko’s isn’t any of that. His is a mark of abuse left by his father. Really, instead of showing violence, the scar shows deep down he is just a traumatized kid…

I can't get over the symbolism of the gifts that Iroh gives Azula and Zuko when they were kids. First of all, it doesn't seem like he put thought into either of those presents. It feels like he thought "little girls like dolls and little boys like weapons" and then just gave them those things (which makes sense--who knows how long he was at war, it's not clear he really knew Zuko or Azula well at that point).

During the main timeline of the show, we see that Zuko didn't just hold on to the gift, he embraced its message. He fought, tooth and nail, to accomplish whatever it was he thought needed to be done--at first that was capturing the Avatar, and then it was training Aang to defeat his father. He never gave up without a fight.

And Azula? Well, when she's a young girl she burns a pretty doll, and when she's a teenager she threatens to burn her friend because she wanted to join the circus. She loses her friends because of her cruelty and their betrayal is one of the things that drives her mad.

"Baby, you're my forever girl."

The funniest line in ATLA.

D'ya think when Bumi eventually passed away, Aang had a long sit with the realization that he's the last person who remembers the world before the war?

That there's no one left who knew him before?

Does he sit there, grieving the loss of his good friend, and realizing all over again that he's 100 years outside of his time and what that means?
