I always love how Zuko makes that break through with his reality not matching his expectations about feeling more complete if he gets his father's recognition and approval; recognizing that his anger is wi himself- like he's disappointed and he's right on the cusp of understanding in what ways he let himself down.

I love a good fish-out-of-water story. Sometimes you forget that these kids are literally children--Azula is what, 14? 15? but then you see them have problems interacting with other kids and it brings it right home how young and silly and confused they all are. It's also good to remember, I think, that bullies only rarely form out of nowhere. Every bad guy has an origin story, but like Zuko's story, it's one made up of choices that add up. Azula's choices are radically different from her brother's, but she's also coming from a place of considerably less love to combat all that rage and isolation and cruelty that her father foisted on her. The villains in this show are so well written, and it really brings home to those of us who want to be good people that sometimes we just got lucky enough to have people/circumstances that empowered us to make better choices.
