Ozai is so pathetic, like that âtake his bending away haha heâs harmless nowâ trick would never have worked on Zuko, if you took his bending away heâd just grab his swords and come at you twice as hard, Azula doesnât have swords or anything but sheâs pretty good at hand to hand and amazing at talking her way out of problems, Iroh bust himself out of prison with no bending at all, meanwhile Ozai? Gets his bending taken away and then just collapses, doesnât even try anymore, then just sits in prison and tries to get into Zukoâs head some more, he could have trained up and tried to break out too! But no! Bet he canât break steel bars with his bare hands. Bet he canât kick a steel lever in two. Bet he canât even do a flip.
Also we never really see him do any really impressive firebending apart from when he has magic comet power, I guesss he shoots some lightning at Zuko, but thatâs it and Azula is still better at the lightning thing. Azula has blue flames. Zuko can do firebreakdancing and bend with his swords. Does Ozai, who is not 14 years old, have blue flames? No he doesnât.
He didnât even do his coup himself, Ursa had to kill Azulon for him! Could have just challenged Iroh to an Agni Kai for the throne but he didnât bc he knew heâd lose.
And then he only ruled for like 6 years! He lost a war that had been going on for 100 years bc of a bunch of kids.
There is a sort of constant battle between the two of them to the degree that they are fighting, but they are taking care of one another. When the sugar goes on the cheek of Patrick, Art takes it off with his hand in a very nice gesture of kindness -- and very intimate, I would say. But at the same time, they are really tense. And I think itâs about being jealous of one another, but at the same time wanting one another.
