>>121211585I always kind of loved the idea that in the transfer from one generation to the next, Iroh is more like Azula and Ozai is more like Zuko. That Iroh, like Azula, was a great prodigy, and supremely talented at firebending, and brilliant at thinking on his feet, and could win wars and conquer enemies with ease. Meanwhile Ozai, like Zuko, struggled, and had trouble securing what he wanted, and always seemed to crave validation.
I wonder if the reason Zuko got so bullied and harassed by his own father is that Ozai saw his own self in Zuko and deeply resented it.
