How do you restore your honor? How do you get rid of shame and grow into humility?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are answering the call of the commenters by doing a Villain Therapy for Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender! They talk about Zuko’s transformation from unlikeable kid to someone who makes your heart ache, as we learn more about his backstory and follow his tumultuous journey. Jonathan dives into Zuko’s trauma, both the major and micro traumas that shape his character. Alan talks about why this show may have one of the best intergenerational stories he’s ever seen.

I would really LOVE a whole video on Zuko’s first days of being good, trying to win over the gang, what happens when he first joins team Avatar and stumbles a bit to fit in and earn their trust/friendship. And how he finally earns it with the 3 original members who he’s done wrong in the past. I’d love to see John and Alan talk about that. Bonus: A while back I found a very fiery and feisty abandoned baby kitten, I took him home and I named him Zuko. Then soon after I realized that he had a burn scar (from hiding on a hot car engine) on the left side of his face above his left eye, just like prince Zuko! I was shocked, this was fate.

SO...when is the Iroh episode coming out? Dying for this one! You guys better gush over how AMAZING of not only a character he is, but how such an INCREDIABLE role model he is for healthy masculinity. He is one of the BEST written characters EVER! With love Z.

Iroh! Iroh! Iroh! "What are you doing?" "I'm mugging you, old man!" (Doubtful look) "With *that* stance?" (In other words, an Iroh episode please!) Though also, Zuko! Such an incredibly written (and acted) character. The original AtLA is so amazing. It has its lesser moments, but they are few and far between. I watched it with my kids, and I'm so grateful for that experience. (And of course we've re-watched it many times.) It's so well, and so maturely, written, indeed far better than many things meant to be for adults.

Finally watched this, so good! So glad that you guys immediately started working on an Uncle Iroh episode after this and Aang 😊 I wonder how you all liked the live action? I thought it was okay, and hope to see them live up to the potential in seasons 2 and 3; it was great seeing them greenlit for it. Looking forward to the episode on Uncle Iroh later this month 🍵
