Azula was actively getting her emotional acceptance from her father. Until Iroh could depose his brother he was never going to be able to help her.

Also, hot take, not every villain should get redeemed. Sometimes we should just have a bad guy be a bad guy. I hate that every show now is like ‘oh every villain has relatable trauma and can be better with love’. Like no, sometime people suck

There’s another key thing that’s always missing in this conversation. Iroh didn’t become Zuko’s primary mentor until AFTER Zuko was exiled. Iroh did not have the opportunity to mentor Azula even if he wanted to.

Even in Azula’s solo comic we got not that long ago, she’s given the chance again to confront her past and learn from it and seek redemption, but she doesn’t want to get better. She doesn’t want to change. As of rn in the canon, she’s content in who she is.

He knew she was a reflection of her father. I’m sure he saw himself in Zuko which made it easier to guide him.

Azula didn’t want to listen to or respect Iroh. Zuko struggled with the individual lessons, but overall valued Iroh as wise, experienced, and caring.

I think people should let evil characters be evil as well like its supposed to make a plot point that she needed to be opposite of zuko

Iroh also could influence Zuko because Ozai banished Zuko to chase the avatar. It’s easier because Zuko was physically FAR AWAY from Ozai, unlike Azula.

Remember that Azula called Iroh weak for grieving over his son. She believed he failed at taking Ba Sing Sai because he was too emotionally attached to his son and not to the fire nation.

I love Azula and I love Azula redemption arcs, but even I can admit that the literal ONLY course of action that made sense would be to help heal Zuko into a functioning adult and THEN go help Azula afterwards 😭

Also, let's bring up that Zuko spoke up against needlessly sacrificing troops, while Azula basically said she'd have doubled or tripled the number.

Remember when azula told kid zuko that their dad was going to kill him? They were kids at that time and she was saying stuff like that.

Iroh could only start to help Zuko once he was away from Ozai's influence. I don't think he ever had the chance to reach Azula, and by the time he says this line, she's already a war-defining threat :(

Zuko was a good person trying to appeal to his evil Father. Azula was always evil.

Zuko had room for growth, and as long as Azula was Ozai's favourite child and was acting out his will. She was never going to be put in a position where she had to reevaluate her role in the world she was living in. If she has no room to grow she's never going to change

I really can’t stand the progressive take of Azula redemption, “she’s just a kid”. Cuz I’ll tell all of us cheered when Katara took her down

Iroh wasn’t given the opportunity to really be a mentor figure for Azula, he stayed with Zuko during his banishment years because he knew that Zuko needed somebody he couldn’t really be in two places at once ya know

Iroh knew that Azula was too far gone, & she was due to the amount of validation she got from Ozai.
