Hope the Fanalysis crew is doing great! The fact that character development occurs in what is the anime beach episode is really rare. Also, Ember Island Players are coming. Which is one of my favorite episodes for the sheer comedic gold.
I hope you guys are doing well. I've followed you guys for over eight years. You've influenced me and my analytical style and views in ways you can't fathom. Please, stay safe!
I always just saw Azula's comment afterwards as trying to play it off, I just couldn't imagine her letting that vulnerable comment just hang. A minor thing, but I feel like it's implied that Combustion Man killed the two fire nation guards off-screen. Zuko ordered him to be discrete and he knew that the guards know of the avatar. Later we learn that no message of Aang's survival had gotten out and they surely would have sent another message eventually, especially since the nearby explosions should have alerted them.
It is actually refreshing to look back on these episodes and realize just how many more layers there are to Azula's character despite her obvious evilness. I'm aligning with Matt on this one regarding her character, though. There really isn't any good in her left to actually warrant a level of sympathy from me. I don't wanna claim to actually know these things, but in recent experience in my line of work you can sorta tell when someone below the age of reason might be too far gone before they reach said age of reason, regardless of circumstance. Sure, there's layers to people still, but sometimes you gotta be clear-cut. To quote Iroh: "She's crazy, and she needs to go down." Sometimes things aren't complicated. Plus, on top of Zuko owing that Earth Kingdom lady for stealing their bird-thing, he should owe this guy big-time after this party. Guy was a jerk sometimes.
Ive been following all these guys for like 12 years, i dont give a flying fuck about avatar tho, i want star warz content but considering how dead that franchise is it kinda makes me sad That we are probably at the tail end of that. Also these guys are now adults and i doubt they make this for the money so im not surprised they are making less content
I mean Ty Lee is a pretty girl so mostly AWARE of stuff? she has traveled alot of places, and was a noble enough to be in the same class as the Fire Princess before running off, but some pride vanity things of course they care more about that thing.
well Azula, lets be blunt is a 14 year old Gal, who in an abusive environment. she probably cares and stuff but 3 years hes been gone and she was what 11 the last time she saw him? so the ideal of Zuko is more an intellectual exercise here then anything else.
You Should use Cal Kestis from Jedi Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor in a Versus Series video. Make a Video on Cal when Star Wars Jedi Survivor Comes Out.
Redemption is probably a bad way to look at Azula? Cause thinking on it she was a very pious fidelity to her Father? which what even option did she have but that? she had no Iroh in her life, who never seemed to care a lick for her, Her Mother left For Zuko, all she was left with was ozai's thoughts and goals, and her goals was what was for the Nations current aims that have been going for 100 years. Like for all we go with the cruelty and other nonsense, she never really messed with someone who was not a valid military target? like a 14 year old believes she is a monster, that is NOT OK.
I think the chaperone thing, like Mai family are social climbers they wont care? She is literally sleeping with the PRINCE OF THE EMPIRE. but attractive teens going to a luxury island for the rich, there was probabbly more then a bit of dont let Azula or ZUko fuck up and then accidentally a pregnancy and mess up royal succession type stuff. Like Azula running around at military stuff is a risk but not that much, if Azula fond someone suitable from the military then great, less work for Ozai.
yeah wtf why did Ozai not paying this man so much money to do anything and everything? he has a super killer power like wtf. Like I guess he was just Assassin on Retainer for Royal family? cause if not why do you know so many shady characters Zuko so casually. I mean you have been all over the world for 3 years which is hilarious if its in a Azula doesnt know folks but wtf.
