Azula may be a huge B but she’s also 14, and grew up in the Fire Nation Royal Family. Like, she really didn’t have a chance. Zuko getting exiled was traumatic for him obviously but it was clearly good for his personal growth to be away from that environment. Azula meanwhile was completely inculcated in it and is basically the embodied ideal of the Fire Nation citizen. Although there’s clearly some underlying mental health issues too. Like it’s hard to look past her ruthlessness and occasional scene-chewing villainy, but she is also ultimately a victim as well.

Could be a hot take, but I think Zuko Alone is straight up the best episode of the show. There are moments that are more epic, more iconic for sure, but in terms of emotional and thematic impact told in a succinct 22 minutes... for me, it's Zuko Alone.

I think you're right that she never had a chance, but it is interesting that even before Zuko's banishment, when they had the same exact upbringing, Azula was already such a menace lol. Interesting nature vs. nurture kinda thing going on. Like despite Ursa's best efforts to be a good mother to both Zuko and Azula, you see that even she in this episode is like "what is wrong with that child??" Definitely some underlying mental health issues as well, as you said.

Zuko is probably the most compelling character in the show so it’s no surprise that episodes that focus on him are broad fan favorites. The Storm, Zuko Alone, etc.
