>>110912579>if you remove Ozai's influence she becomes a better person Hot take, but she also goes completely insane. She had plenty of opportunity to get help. Hell, she had a chance to help herself and screw over her dad with the Dai Lee during the Black Sun to seize power herself considering she was much better at politics and conquest at that point. Dude was a fucking retard, the moment she does all the work, warns him about the eclipse (guy still nearly gets himself killed with his own lightning bolt), and comes up with an invasion plan he dresses up like a bird and flies away.
And even after all that, instead of saying "fuck Ozai", she says "fuck everyone else" and gives up her friends, her brother, her tutors, and all her loyal servants. You couldn't help her with love and affection without removing Ozai first, your "what if" scenario where he randomly abandons his best pawn doesn't happen until it was too late.
