Atla - luck
Aang: Hey Zuko.
Zuko: Hello. What's up?
Aang: When I gave back Katara's betrothal neckless, I told her that you wanted to return it to her.
Zuko: What? Why? I didn't ask you to...
Aang: She wanted me to give you a kiss for her.
Zuko: You're not here to do that, are you?
Aang: Of course not. Don't need to. Now that you've earned your place in our team and regained Katara's trust, she can do that herself.
Zuko: Ok...
Aang: You don't meet someone like her in every dynasty. Believe me. Good luck.
Aang began walking away grinning.
Zuko: Good luck? Hey! What do you mean good luck?
#atla#aang#zutara#or a hint of it anyway#even aang can learn to support zutara#no need to reduce him to a petty jealous crybaby enforcing a love triangle

Zuko and Azula in "The Beach"
Lately I think a lot about "The Beach" episode [x], especially about this small detail of great teamwork Zuko and Azula have during the game.
Zuko is looking ahead, directly facing their rivals (who had the control of the ball at this moment) but his body is clearly lowered to the ground, left hand most likely touching the ground, legs bent and widely spaced - a clear contrast to Mai standing near and how he stood before on two separate occasions
which is why I think Zuko willingly create an opportunity for Azula, so she could jump higher - something she definitely used to their team’s advantage. If Azula simply jumped on her brother’s back when he wasn’t expecting it or wasn’t ready, he would probably just fall face down from the impact but as the scene shows, he had no such problem nor was angry about it in the following scenes.
During the game sequences there was no dialogue shown between our protagonists, so it is hard to determine if Azula in advance called Zuko to give her a “lift” or Zuko offered on his own, or did they were that much in sync they just acted without thinking. Regardless I like this few seconds long interaction, because for me it implies how they trusted each other despite all the rivalry and bitterness from previous episodes. Like Zuko trusted Azula won’t use that moment to hurt/humiliate him by overuse of force, the same as Azula trusted in Zuko’s strength and that he won’t mess up by losing his balance. It is a small thing but no less sweet to see them working well together when fighting for the same goal - what reminds me a bit their teamwork from the previous season finale.
Interestingly, it was also the second time Zuko assisted Azula in scoring against their rivals while not scoring himself any point on screen. The first time happened almost right at the beggining of the game (second from total five sequences)
while each girl have the solo sequence of winning a point:
Azula's first attack,
later Ty Lee landing on the net
and Mai kicking the ball (and presumably scoring)
while Zuko’s two actions are shared only with his younger sister while there is no sense of competition between the siblings, something contrasting a lot with some previous and later episodes.
Azula is bossy and competitive through most of the episode and her brother lets her be that without a complaint. Azula and Zuko get along pretty well and A) do not argue (with the exception of the campfire scene and then they argue not even for the whole scene itself) and B) don't get on each nerves the way they do in the palace, with Ozai's presence looming in the back of their mind. I absolutely adore this episode, as it humanizes all our Fire Nation characters by showing them as teenagers outside the war zone but also giving us a bit of insight into what Azula and Zuko could be if Ozai didn't pit them against each other. And they could be a great team!

Now it's a matter of her being unable to lie to herself or bottle up her emotions, resorting to emotional breakdowns and Zuko hugging and comforting her. No pressure.
cant get over how incredible her acting is here
like this small scene. these facial expressions. she 130% has azula characterization nailed down.
this is azula. like. wow.

Not to mention she willingly disobeyed Ozai's orders just to help Zuko get his life back, even when his usefulness was finished.
Even when she puts unnecessary risk on herself by lying to Ozai, she knows that speaking to Iroh is considered treason. Which means she has the perfect opportunity to ruin his life. But instead, she chooses to advise Zuko to be more cautious.
Why she lied to Ozai in the first place wasn't just for meaningless trolling on Zuko. She was certain that Aang was dead until Zuko's panic state indirectly came off as suspicious. He lied to Azula that there was no possible way Aang could still be alive and she saw right through it. So her gambit was also retaliation but never took a step up from there.
These actions indirectly caused the 100-year war to come to an abrupt end, so she was Team Avatar's MVP the whole time, and not even she knew.
Im not opposed to Azula improving herself but I find it very frusterating how almost all her fans ignore that she nearly killed Iroh and instead just get mad the man who she nearly killed called her crazy. I mean if you got stabbed/shot by someone in your family would you want to make peace? i sure as heck wouldn’t no being a kid is no execuse fans love to take away her agency
I’ve seen fans they ignore how she killed Aang in cold blood.. because it didn’t last I guess.. and her takeover of ba sin sa declared peaceful because hostile takeover of a country is peaceful.. wanting to burn the city to the ground? Ignored because she’s a teenager she has zero agency.
its not that fans want her redemmed its that they want to execuse every bad thing she ever did because she’s a teenager.. nevermind so is everyone else except Aang and Toph.. Azula did horrible things and can improve as a person are not mutally exclusive or Azula hate
and if you want to add BUT ZUKO I find him highly overrated

Katara: We can't lose. Because we have this. *points to her chest*
Zuko: We have heart?
Katara: Heart? No, me. I'm pointing at myself. I'm going to win this for us.

There's a possible theory as to why they keep complaining. They don't like how she virtually never does what she's told.
First, they were bitter she defied the more experienced figures and their advice on handling a situation smartly. Later, her peers insisted that she use more destructive methods to solve a problem but Korra wanted to handle the situation smartly and that sets them off.
Their idea of a good contrasting sequel protagonist is someone who's always told what to do. It was never about character development.
Where the FUCK did this whole bullshit about Korra being “tamed” come from!? Everyone was complaining about how immature she was in Book 1, now they’re complaining about how MATURE she is!? Is that what I’m getting!? For goodness sake, I thought character development was a good thing!
Listen, if you’re going to complain about characterization, you’d better be consistent. To be fair, I’m not sure if you’re complaining that she matured, but “tamed”? God, you guys sound like idiots.

Zutara - accidental proposal
Katara chuckles.
Zuko: What's so funny?
Katara: I just remembered the time you offered me my neckless.
Zuko: Yeah, I figured it would mean much to you. I know it was wrong to try and make you choose between our friends and the amulet.
Katara: I didn't know then, but you should know that it was a betrothal neckless this whole time.
Zuko: Betrothal?
Katara: Yep.
Zuko (face turns red): So, you mean to tell me that I technically...asked you to...well...you know.
Katara (with a mischievous grin): Asked me to what?
Zuko: Asked you to...um...marry me?
Katara: Yeah. You kinda did.
Zuko: I'm so sorry. That was never my intention.
Katara: I know it wasn't. I'm guessing neither was the chivalrous "I'll save you from the pirates" line. Right?
Zuko stammers and chuckles nervously.

Azula: Henceforth, you are forever my prisoner.
Aang: Why are you and the Fire Nation doing all of this, what do you hope to gain?
Azula: Isn't it obvious? Everything. The Earth Kingdom now rests nicely beneath our thumb. And then there's you...
Aang: So that's it? Because you don't control me like all your stooges?
Azula: It isn't you individually, Avatar, it's what you represent. When the people see you, they see hope, when in truth, they should be looking to my father and me.
Aang: Wait, you can bend all elements?
Azula: What? No.
Aang: Oh, so you're just jealous that I can and you can't. I'm guessing that jealousy is hereditary and that's why the war began.
Azula: No! You're...you're taking this too literally! What I mean is they should be praising me, not you.
Aang: Ok, but why?
Azula: What do you mean why?
Aang: I mean why should they?
Azula: I'm the first princess to take over Ba Sing Se. I'm superior and awesome and so is my one element.
Aang: Yeah? And? What? Do you think people like invaders? Do you even think people like the rich period?
Azula: I-I didn't say they had to like me-
Aang: I mean, when was the last time anyone, besides everyone from Chin Village, said 'Wow, we've been blessed by Chin the Conqueror!'
Azula: Silence.
Aang: What it sounds like to me is that you need a new PR team. I don't know who suggested 'the higher class fire nation should take advantage of the lower class fire nation' but I don't think that's doing your public image any favors.
Azula: What are you saying? That I don't deserve respect?
Aang: Have you ever considered opening and mastering your chakras?
Azula: What?
Aang: A session where you look inside yourself and open certain positive emotions that line up vertically throughout your body. It's an intense experience and once begun it can't be stopped but once it's done, you wouldn't believe how much relief and internal balance you'll gain.
Azula: No Avatar, I don't want to look into this chakra stuff. I just want people to look at me the way they look at you.
Aang: How do you see that working out? Where in two completely different worlds here.
Azula: What's that supposed to mean?
Aang: I mean seriously, think about it for a moment. What kid wouldn't want to try and master all elements and all sorts of spirit-based powers to their fullest extent in addition to seeing the world? How do you plan on upstaging me, knowing what I'm capable of?
Azula: (Scoffs) Look Avatar, the bottom line is that there's simply not enough room in each nation for the both of us. Even you know that.
Aang: Sweety, the spirits and I unleashed a crazy amazing spirit attack on the Fire Nation at the North Pole several months ago. I think I'm a little bit bigger than just the four nations.
Azula: That doesn't change a damn thing! Remember, I managed to shoot you with lightning! You'd be dead if it weren't for Miss Peasant healing you right before being forced to leave you behind and indirectly allow my brother to complete his mission.
Aang: I wish I could thank her right now.
Azula: You can thank me too for not trying to end you again but succeed by finishing you thoroughly. (Sigh) On second thought, perhaps there can be room for both of us. How about I give you a tour of my nation and educate you on our ways?
Aang: Sounds like fun.

Aaron Ehasz imagined that she had not bottomed at the end of season 3 but had further down to go.
I almost see that being like a more metaphorical/psychological equivalent of Dante's Divine comedy, meaning that Azula's redemption all but takes 18 episodes.
Zuko should acknowledge how she willingly disobeyed Ozai's orders and allowed him to return home in triumph, and even advised Zuko to be more careful when he privately speaks to Iroh. She's even the reason Ursa got Azulon killed to save Zuko.
Though Zuko's dynamic with Azula is not that stable, it's loads better than his one with Ozai. The way she recruits Ty Lee is questionable but Azula still has care for her. She never had to be intimate Mai into cooperating and Azula never blew a fuse when Mai disobeyed her orders at the drill or outright yelled at her at the beach.
She has not fully crossed over into abusive territory...yet. Though I'm not sure that letting her travel the world unsupervised is the best idea, for her or the people around her.
Since she's a descendant of the avatar, this could mean that Aang can have a dynamic with Azula that's similar to the one with Zuko but even closer, more intimate, and spiritual. I imagine them having a spirit bond, that's almost like the Force Dyad from Star Wars. This bond unites them as fate, allowing them to understand each other and even know when they are lying.
In time, Aang talks Azula into opening and mastering her chakras, at that point, she joins with Aang as a traveling companion and they travel the world together. She also helps him in a way. She gets him to acknowledge that Aang does indeed have blood on his hands and he naturally feels distraught about it. Aang eventually forgives himself and is in the mindset that he can and will kill but only when there is absolutely no other option.
how would a redemption arc work for azula? because like you said, azula isn't even close to the realization that she was wrong. what kind of major event would it take for azula to realize her genocidal ideals were wrong? how would zuko react to her change? because I dont want zuko to accept it right away for obvious reasons.
I'm not exactly sure how a redemption arc would work for Azula. I much prefer her the way she is in the show, a tragedy to illustrate how being abused can sometimes turn you into an abuser yourself. If she were to have a redemption arc, it should be away from anyone' influence. Away from Ozai, because obviously, and away from Zuko as well. I think it would be good way to illustrate how a victim does not have to help their abuser, and it would give Azula the opportunity to find herself without exacerbating her inferiority complex when it comes to Zuko. I feel like if he was always around to help her, she'd learn nothing about personal responsibility. Even Iroh didn't help Zuko when it really came down to it, and Iroh wasn't even Zuko's victim in the way that Zuko is Azula's. But anyway, I'll give it a go.
Maybe I'd have Azula travel around the world, learning more perspectives kind of like Zuko did. I do think it would be harder for her to do than it was for Zuko, but I think being forced to confront the world and every perception of it that she's had would help her on the road to becoming a better person. The same way Zuko did, she should go on a journey by herself, having to struggle to find food and shelter, struggling to get by. She once thought she was so capable, so powerful, but she's struggling. She put all her value into being the best firebender, a prodigy, a raw talent that she was born with, the divine right, but she can't see any of that now. Her natural firebending isn't coming to her aid here. It doesn't bring her food, it doesn't bring her shelter, and it doesn't bring her any help. She's so hungry and tired... she can't even firebend that well at all, can't conjure up her flames as strong as they used to be.
It's almost as though her skill, her expertise in fighting with fire... isn't as important or useful as she thought. It doesn't matter as much as she thought it would. It leads to her needing to reevaluate everything she knows, because if what she believed was most important really isn't... then what is important? What makes her worthy, what makes her special?
And when she comes across people who are suffering the same way she is, instead of scoffing at them and dismissing their pain like she once would have, she sees herself in them, and she understands them. And she also begins to understand that her father, and she by extension, did this to them. It sits wrong with her, now that she knows what it feels like. She's already beginning to realize that maybe her divine right isn't all that she thought it was, but she clings onto it anyway, because it's the foundation of her worldview, and without it she has nothing.
Azula keeps on travelling, she meets more and more people. I think it should be the Earth Kingdom that she travels in most, because it's where she caused the most damage to the people, it's the place she wanted to burn to the ground, and now she's forced to travel there.
And then maybe, on her travels, she stays with a family one day, who let her in out of the goodness of their heart. She scoffs at them for being so weak, so naive, but she's tired and hungry and has nowhere else to go. While she's staying there, she happens upon a scene where one of their kids is getting hugged by their mother, getting a kiss on their forehead or something, and she can't help but remember her mother doing that to her, and she can't help but remember that her father never did. And her mother was weak, and her father was is powerful, but... the kid looks so happy. And so was she, back then, when her mother showed her she loved her. But she didn't love Azula. She didn't.
But did she? Could it be that she really did love her?
Azula runs away from them in the middle of the night.
Because sure, it's a worthless display of affection, so far removed from power and fear and everything her father taught her to be, everything she strove to emulate. And they're just Earth Kingdom peasants, after all, what would they know about who she is and what she's destined for? But she can't help but think about the joy in that child's eyes, the loving way his mother looked at him, like how her mother used to look at her, how she used to feel so special when her mother stroked her hair and gave her a kiss on her forehead. Even Azula can't mistake what the look in that mother's eyes were. And if it reminds her of her mother... was her father wrong? And if he were wrong about that... what else could he have been wrong about? Her, raw talent, her divine right which she's already questioning?
And those people... they had no power. They had no money, no glory, no superior bending ability, but... they were so happy. And as long as she can remember, her family wasn't. Of course, maybe that was Zuko's fault for being so weak, her mother's fault for being so weak, her uncle's fault for being so weak... but this family has nothing, nothing like she did, and they're still so loving, so happy. And she still can't shake her faith in her father entirely (though it already began, back during Sozin's Comet), but... maybe, just maybe, somewhere deep in her heart, she's forced to admit that maybe she would liked this a lot better. Her father never did this... but maybe he should have.
She keeps travelling. Some people help her, some turn her away. She understands both of them. She would turn away anyone who came to her for help. They never were worth her time. But now she's on the other side, the one in need of help. And the people who help her, once she would have called the naive and weak and foolish, but they are the ones who help her stay alive, who she depends on. She's starting to realize who the better person is, between these two. When it comes down to just being a person, stripped of wealth and power, who it's better to be. Her father always said these things to her, and she believed it for the longest time. She did everything she could to be on his right side, to be like him, to be better than her brother... but ultimately, in her time of greatest need, none of it matters. What's really helping her is kindness, is compassion, the things she derided and scoffed at. In the fact of the harsh reality, she has to admit that her father is wrong. She can't deny it anymore.
Maybe she happens upon a refugee camp at some point, and she sees these people suffering, with nothing. She used to believe that weakness led to your own suffering, and that it would never happen to her. Zuko brought his fate upon himself, after all. Iroh lost his son because of his weakness. Her mother was sent away because she was too weak. But Azula sees these people, there people who have nothing because everything they had was burnt away. She would have blamed them too, but she's also spent so long feeling helpless, realizing that when it comes to the world outside the confines of her majestic royal palace filled with luxury and comfort, that not everyone has that kind of power, even her. Especially not her. And she knows, just as surely as she knows that she wanted the fire that destroyed their homes to be lit, she knows in the depths of her mind and heart that this is their fault. The fault of her father, and her own. Just like what happened to Zuko was her father's fault.
And they still help her, believing her to be one of them, someone who has been hurt by the Fire Nation like they have. And for the first time, she feels that she doesn't deserve their help. She doesn't deserve their kindness. She's horrified by the true reality of her actions and their consequences, horrified by what she's done.
And then maybe someone recognizes her. And then people are drawing weapons and trying to defend themselves. They all come together in hatred for her. In fear of her. It's what she's tried to achieve for so long, to subjugate these people, to rule them, to make everyone fear her. But she sees them come together, fearing her, and she only feels sick. There are children crying, somewhere, and for a second, she sees Zuko in his place, crying, half of his face burnt off-
She runs. She can't deal with this. Some people chase her, trying to take her down, because they're so afraid of her. She's never truly been confronted with such raw hatred before. She thinks of all the children, with burns on their skin, and thinks of Zuko, his face burning, and she thinks of how she had smiled. She thinks of her father, teaching her all sorts of falsehoods about power, and worthiness, and how she knew, she did, that it would only last as long as it pleased him. She thinks of that family, happy and loving, and how much better it seemed compared to her own family. She thinks about how so many other families have been the same way. She thinks about how even the people in this camp, who are so hurt and powerless, were ready to fight her to protect their family.
She thinks about her mother, who was the one who really loved her. Realizing her father was wrong also brings about the realization that she was wrong about her mother. That her mother was trying to protect her. From her father. The man who would burn the face of his son, all because he wouldn't fight his father. Who treated Zuko like he was worth nothing because he couldn't bend as well as her. Who treated her like she was worth something only because she could bend her fire better, the same bending ability that she's realized is ultimately meaningless, which doesn't matter when it comes down to the realest parts of the world. Who fed her lies and treated her like a tool, because he saw her as a weapon, not a daughter. He never looked at her the way her mother did. With love. He just wanted to use her, and he cast her away when he was done with her. Just like he did with Zuko. She wasn't special, she wasn't born lucky, she was just more convenient, and he used her and discarded her like a cheap toy.
And she has to admit, that fear isn't the answer. She's seen people now, people who are more afraid of her than anyone has ever been before. They should be running away. But they don't. She thinks about these people, who she thought were weak, but really, they are stronger than her, because even in the face of fear, they fight. Because they have love, and that's always been more powerful. Just like Zuko. Like Mai and Ty Lee.
Her mother wouldn't have done what her father did. She would have helped Azula. She tried so hard to. Her brother tried too, as she fought him and relished in his pain. So did her uncle, while she spurned him and wished him dead. So did these people, even though she wanted to burn them to the ground not so long ago. Her father was well on his way to do it. Burn down their homes, kill these people, some of whom are her age too. And she suggested it, she wanted to be by his side, like it was some game, some glorious quest.
Her father is a monster. So is she. She's always laughed it off, believing her mother thought that about her, and trying to pretend it didn't matter. But it does. Now it does. She's always known all this, somewhere in the depths of her mind, her mother's teachings had left a mark, but she can no longer run from any of it anymore. It's the truth. She's a monster, and for the first time, she feels remorse. She can no longer hide behind her belief of superiority, of her divine right to rule. She feels guilt, the way she did on that day, before she lost everything she once thought mattered, when her mother looked at her and said I love you Azula. I do.
From then, she keeps travelling. She tries to avoid people. She doesn't dare face anyone, for fear of what rejection she might face, especially because she now knows she deserves it. She doesn't deserve their help or their support. Not these people, not Zuko or Mai or Ty Lee or her uncle or her mother. And as she's going on like this, she sees some people one day, shivering in the cold, trying to light a fire and failing. She's also cold, so she lights a fire. But the fire in her hand is blue, like ice, too hot, too much. So, for once, she stops focusing on making her flames the hottest they can be. The flame in her hand cools down, and now it's a warm yellow glow. And then she actually feels warm, not just on the outside but in her heart as well. And she looks at these people, and she knows how they feel. She knows what she'd want someone to do for her if she were in their place. So, she lights their fire with a flick of her wrist. They don't see who she is, they don't even notice her. For all they know, they managed to light it themselves. But they look so happy, so content, so warm. Because of the fire. And she didn't even use it to fight. Her fire is helping people, making them happy. Maybe it's not just good for fighting.
Just like her.
She knows in her heart that this is what her mother would have wanted. Her mother who was right all along. So, she goes on doing this, secretly helping people. Lighting their fires, their torches. It's small, but it clearly means a lot to people on cold days and nights. And they never notice her. But she's surprised to find that she doesn't need or want the attention anymore. Just the fact that she helped makes her feel the warmth she thought respect and power would get her.
And so, she doesn't just help with her fire. She tries to learn new ways to help. She tries to learn how to treat wounds, especially burns. And she finds so much more fulfillment in this simple work than she ever did in plotting against her brother and planning to burn down the Earth Kingdom. And it's not even just because of her mother's words anymore. Her mother was right. This is something she wants. She still struggles sometimes with doubts about if she's wrong now, still struggles with feelings of resentment and anger towards the people she knows don't deserve it. She still feels small when she thinks about her father, about what he'd think if he saw her like this, even though she's realizing he doesn't matter. But she's getting better. She feels better than she's ever felt.
And then she ends up in Ba Sing Se, and then Zuko is there. With Iroh. And the Avatar and his friends. Zuko spots her. She runs. Zuko chases her. She didn't mean to run into him, but he's coming after her. Zuko confesses that he was worried about her, that he's been looking for her. And she's shocked that he would, even after everything. Because even now, she can still see the wariness in his eyes, the slight nervousness in his posture, the way his friends stand tall behind him, making less of an effort to look concerned, even though they don't look completely antagonistic.
So Azula does the one thing she's always been running from, something she knows she has to do but has never been able to. Admit to her mistakes. Apologize. She still wants to run, but Zuko is here, he's been looking for her, and he's worried about her. She would have felt, and a part of her still feels, anger towards Zuko, still blames him unfairly. But she's grown to recognize it for what it is. And so, she says to him I'm sorry, the first time she's said the words and truly meant it. He looks shocked, but then smiles, and says I forgive you.
But she can see he doesn't, not really. She can see now, how much he loves her, how much wants her to get better, how much he appreciates her sincere apology. How much he wants to forgive her. But she can still see the doubt, the pain and fear in his eyes that she caused. She can see the resentment and the hurt. She's not blind to it anymore. So she says, no you don't. And when he steps forward, tells her to stay, Azula, I don't want to lose you, she tells him that it's best for the both of them if she leaves. And maybe one day, she'll come back, when she's become better, enough to truly begin to make up for what she's done to him, and he can truly forgive her. And he smiles, and says good luck.
So Azula goes off to do more good things and learn to heal herself and find her worth, and then they meet and can actually be a decently stable family again. Or not, YMMV.
Thank you for your ask!

ATLA - Plan
Aang: OK, that should do it. We are now immune to the dark avatar's bloodbending and he can't affect the bending of all the benders of this team.
Sokka: Alright, aside from giving us a power boost, what's the plan?
Aang: The plan is to fulfill Vaatu's plan in order to destroy him once and for all.
Sokka: Uh...What? What do you mean by that?
Aang: Vaatu has 3 end goals, one is to destroy Raava, the other is to destroy all that exists, and the third is to absorb Raava's power over the forces of Yang for himself to become the spirit of balance itself. What if we beat him at his own game and take Vaatu's power over the forces of Yin from him and give it to Raava instead?
Katara: How?
Aang: The positive side of spiritbending restores the internal balance of a spirit. So all the benders of this team will perform this art on Vaatu and myself. I'll even empower it with energybending.
Azula: Once it's done, it'll look as if Raava and Vaatu have fused together as one and then fused with Aang.
Aang: Avatar Wan's wish to restore balance will be realized and the 100-year war will come to an end.
Toph: Seems like a solid enough plan to me, so long as I get to beat him to near death first.
Katara: Yeah? Get in line.
Aang: We have to be careful about this. Vaatu can be empowered by our doubt, fear, rage, and hate and will use them against us.
Azula: Today is the day where 100 years of lies, suffering, and imbalance come to an end. It almost feels unreal but we can do this.

In the Dark Avatar Ozai AU, Ozaatu is the personal archenemy to all of Team Avatar, not just Zuko or Aang, for several reasons.
Firstly, Ozai has no need to fuse with Vaatu. Ozai's secret/true identity is actually Vaatu himself. He doesn't just obtain all elements plus energybending via soul absorption, he consumes and controls the very sources of all elements and concepts of bending, this causes the extinction of all original benders and their souls to fall under Vaatu's complete control. He also masters all non-bender skills.
Vaatu is directly responsible for Sozin enforcing his war through the use of the Tree of Time, the giant swamp tree, and, fittingly, the summer solstice. Which means he's the one behind the deaths of the air nation and Katara and Sokka's mother.
Vaatu personally kills Katara and Sokka's father in front of them right after taking Yue and La's souls.
He slaughters almost all Kysohi warriors, leaving Suki and Ty Lee the sole survivors, just to get back at Ty Lee for betraying him.
He humiliates Toph, gaslights her into thinking her parents hate her, exposes her blind bandit identity to everyone, and takes her family fortune for himself.
He massacres every single member of the white lotus, including Iroh.
He murders Appa and absorbs his soul in front of Aang to obtain the source of air and airbending.
He forcefully possesses Azula and makes her fight Aang. He successfully exercises Vaatu from Azula but she ends up getting kidnapped and held hostage. She gets rescued by the gaang later on though.
Needless to say, at that point, Team Avatar wanted little more than to viscously murder Vaatu. Unfortunately, that motive proves futile for he can draw power from nagative emotions of any kind. The team eventually achieve inner peace and balance which leads to the benders of the team learning spiritbending. They use it on both Vaatu and Aang. This causes Vaatu to be destroyed forever because his powers/status become fused with all of Raava's but Aang's connection to his past lives was still destroyed right before then.
