For some reason I just realized/noted another thing from Legacy of the Fire Nation book: the way Iroh speaks about Ozai in relation to both fire siblings. When he revealed that sometimes he sees Ozai in Zuko, he says so in a regrettable tone, about what could've been better and wished that was. Meanwhile, when he connected Ozai (and himself) to Azula, he only associated her to the traits he believed to be problematic and should be held accountable.
Furthermore, what he claimed to see in Zuko is surely his own view and opinion BUT what he sees in Azula is what he assumes how Ozai views her too. Iroh doesn't think that Ozai might liked Azula better because of her talent and intelligence but because of the "fury" or whatever that was.
He doesn't see or acknowledge the positive things about Azula and only assumed Ozai liked her better because she mirrors the worst part of himself.
P.S. the first full page here.
why did no one talk about this?!
Can we just talk about how powerful this scene is?
There are no words needed. Each panel shows us how their relationship was with each other. Silence often offers us a more powerful understanding than a thousand words ever could. Ursa knew she never showed her daughter how much she loved her. You can see the love and affection on her face for her high strung little girl… as well as regret and worry. Even in the last panel and the way she looks back…she was hesitant. She did not want to leave Azula, knowing how much Ozai influenced her at such a young age…she even chose to see her daughter first before Zuko. Maybe she had planned on saying something to Azula…but the words got lost on her tongue. What could she say? Instead she opted to give her a kiss on her cheek as a sign of love instead, praying she would be safe.
If only Azula knew…
I have a lot of Azula Feels now…excuse me while I go cry in a corner.
