>>115146915>Based on what it showed us, and told us iroh would beat her like she beat zuko (fairly easily)Tell me how, exactly. Iroh's most impressive actual fights was a team fight(with Zuko) against group of earthbending mooks, another team fight with Zuko vs the Rough Rhinos, and him beating up on Zhao.
Azula took on Aang in direct combat several times, fought almost the whole gaang at points(without bending, she was still able to stall three of them for several minutes), showed more precise control of her fire, has better shown defense with her fire, has more techniques shown.
The only particularly impressive showing Iroh has comparatively is busting down the wall of Ba Sing Se... which he needed 20 seconds of uninterrupted focus to do, never applicable to a fight.
Jeong Jeong had a far more impressive comet showing than Iroh as well.
>>115147060>The show showed us that Iroh was still far stronger than Zuko by the end of the series...It did not actually show anything of the sort. Zuko's shown combat skills eclipse Iroh's shown combat skills too. Iroh is completely reliant on implications and nothing else.
I agree that Iroh is probably meant to be better than both Azula and Zuko still, but he sure as hell wasn't SHOWN to be.
>and that Zuko had reached Azula's same level.Zuko never reached sane Azula's level, he was beating her exactly because he was the one who was stable now.
