My favorite hot take on Zuko is that he doesn’t know half the Gaang’s names until the Southern Raiders - when he asks Sokka why his sister hates him, Sokka mentions her name, and from then on, Zuko uses Katara’s name too. It’s definitely a ridiculous crack theory but I still find it hilarious to imagine that he could’ve not known all that time and found it too awkward to ask.
@@Aisha_Luv Oh I agree - it’s definitely just a crack theory. But wouldn’t it be funny if he actually didn’t know Toph’s name at all since we never hear him say it… there’s no way to confirm he knew it
"the earthbending toddler" lmao, it's funny how everyone always starts out thinking of toph as the "little helpless blind girl" when she's really the most buff of the entire gang
"I find one of uncle's sandles and store it away as a surprise tool that will help us later" HAD ME DYING!! I still cant believe Zuko kept it around until the literal finale
3:40 „it was really weird. I‘ve never fought an airbender before and he was flying all over the place.“ that line really got me. It’s literally how a teenager would describe the situation lmao.
When you really think about it, Zuko is actually incredibly competent. He's a skilled fighter that can even manage to out-fight people ranked above him, he's clever and quick to act, knows when to prioritize the mission and take risks and when to pull back and act as a responsible leader... sure, he's hot-headed and full of emotional baggage, but he's actually really good in a pinch at manipulating people to get what he wants and taking advantage of opportunities when they come his way. Pirates literally try to assassinate him and his first instinct is to fake his death and infiltrate the enemy base, and it unironically works, he manages to capture Aang and tie him up. The only problem is he's trying to catch a master Airbender who can literally fly and can escape in any direction he wants to. So no matter what he does, Aang just sort-of finds a way to slip away and flies off. The only other people in the Fire Nation who catch Aang generally have the advantage of superior reinforcements or cutting-edge steampunk technology. Outside of that, there's Bumi, but that's more of an "I guess we can't escape when there is no door out of here" type of deal. For going at this basically alone and just using clever tactics and hard perseverance, Zuko does an insanely good job, when you really think about it. His only real mistake is leaving the Avatar alone with the guards in Episode 2, and that's just because he was caught off guard by Aang being a literal child. How was he supposed to know some goofy kid would be able to overwhelm two armored trained guards with his hands tied behind his back?!
"Normally this is when the depression would kick in, but I'm actually having a mediocre afternoon." I don't normally comment in the middle of a video but I can't handle this it's so good
I’m just imagining there is like- a fictional character therapy group where they all take turns explaining their stories and trauma. And It’s Will, Zuko, and a bunch of others. First Will Went then they’re all like: Ok Zuko, you’re turn!
The fact that this video is possible is such a testament to the quality of this show. Throughout the show we are made aware of and understand Zuko’s motivations. Bravo to the show runners and the writers.
Literally about to comment "I love this idea for a series" I will return with ideas for characters, if I come up with any, but I'm 100% certain I'll like whichever choices you make.
"... I gotta go my own way". And then he says, "What about us? What about everything we've been through?". And then I say, "What about trust?"... sorry, wrong script Iconic moment
i had to pause for a laughing fit at "and I didn't have to ask any of their names!" and want you to know that's what I consider the punchline of the entire first hour
Never occurred to me until now. The reason Roku freed Zuko and didn't burn Zuko at the fire temple (Roku ... Zuko. Uko oku nevermind) the reason was because Zuko is his grandson.
@@CandyThePuppy It's a reference to a avatar episode where a boy thinks Zuko is wearing a Zuko costume and tells him that his scar is on the wrong side so Zuko gets angry yells at him "THE SCAR IS NOT ON THE WRONG SIDE!"
"...he'd restore the most important thing in the world to me" *points his stick* "my honour. The only issue is that no body has seen the avatar for a hundred years, but if anyone could find him, that would be *me* , *because my honor depended on it* ." I found that funny for some reason.
I think, at the very least, Zuko knew Aang's name. The guy obsessively tracked him and all around the world everyone knew him as Avatar Aang. Even people who never met him. As for the rest of the group... hell yeah, complete strangers.
I'm pretty sure he actually didnt😭😭 tbh I just HC that zuko never paid attention to any of their names, only the title of the Avatar. So he had it real awkward till he heard what the others called each other 😭 gosh I love him-
I love that Zuko really ISNT a good fire bender but an amazing fighter and assassin! If Ozi wasn’t up his own ass so much, he could’ve had a very capable and loyal fighter in his ranks.
Zuko is a good firebender wtf are you talking abt?? Compare him to prodigies or other members of the royal family and sure he doesn't look like a very good one, but the other fn soldiers only do basic kicks and punches. It's also said in the graphic novels trilogies that he is powerful
Is everybody going to ignore the fact, that Zuko has the best and most realistical redemption arc in the history of animation ever? Sure there were some comedic moments in his life at first, but you have to understand that he starts as a villain whos actions and motivations make sence, and how he eventualy goes throu his transformation into a hero is peak genius writing. He has this tragic back story that started his journey as a banished prince, who had no other option but to regain his honor by capturing Aang, so that his father would accept him back. When Zuko finaly realized what is acualy wrong about his life, he chose to do the right thing to end the war and to create a new era of peace. Remember that every time somebody tries to create a redemption arc and copletely miss the point, then its not even comparible to what Zuko experienced.
The typo on Mai's name only makes this funnier to me. Like, of all the difficult names (most of which he learned by hearing in passing) the only one Zuko misspells is his childhood friend/girlfriend's. Bro, it only has three letters, how did you goof! Did you get it wrong in your break-up note, too??🤣🤣
My mental image is Zuko laying face first on the floor in shame and a featureless person crouching over him saying all this. Bro will never regain his honor now!!
TH-cam recommended this to me outta nowhere and I ended up watching the entire thing from start to finish in one sitting. Really makes you think about just how quickly things move from Zuko's perspective when the show focuses more on Aang. I like to imagine the majority of this is just Zuko telling the Gaang about his journey up to a point while they're sitting around a campfire.

@@k2_x376Just correcting my self here the first paragraph was "I didn't think I'd finish the video in one sitting, but it was so good that I did!" My earlier summary adequately describes the second paragraph.
This is, of course, hilarious & fabulous & satisfying. However, hot damn you really also struck the emotional notes in an impressively poignty way. The whiteboard starts out like a simple prop, but the way eventually honor is all that's left really poetically fits how his honor was there all along & not derived from the other figures in his life. And then the surprise after that is just extra artful, really creates a subtle moment of snap-to-awareness that neatly facilitates the abrupt & sincere emotional tone shift befitting the scene. Spectacular use of simple visual storytelling. The soft subtle audio shifts are super helpful for creating a sense of chapteriness, too, without having to ever slow the pace. And some of the ways you condense/comment on/act certain bits really capture the character in the core honest loving way that the best satire necessitates. Love this, thanks for putting in so much work & personality & making this excellent video!
Zuko 's firebending abilities develop as the series goes on but what makes him strong is his fighting abilities Most of the benders depend on their bending but there was a time were zuko only used his swordman abilities.
I can’t believe this entire video, all 1 and a half hours of comedy, pathos, and beautiful narration and observation, was just the set up for an incredible “your mom” joke. Amazing. Also, this video finally made me accept that between ATLA and Legend of Korra, Mai and Zuko broke up, because uh, wow their relationship was *not* the most stable or even that deep.
I'll rewatch this for the sole sake of counting how many times and when Zuko says "honor". "HONOR" COUNTER: ~ 0:43 - #1 - "...he'd restore the most important thing in the world to me, my *honor* ." ~ 0:49 - #2 - "...but if anyone could find him, that would be me, because my *honor* depended on it." ~12:19 - #? - "First off, I don't want to hear his sh*t, if it would be about *honor* that would be a different story, anyway..." ~ 14:12 - #? - "...

I'm not any closer to regaining my *honor* than I was weeks ago ..." ~ 27:39 - #? - "... now I've lost it all: the avatar, my throne, my *honor* ..." ~ 29:00 - #? - "Okay, I believe she did, but how dare she lie about my *honor* !" ~ 31:00 - #? - "... I have to find him to restore my *honor* ." ~ 31:55 - #? - "... there's a simple *honor* in poverty ..." ~ 32:24 - #? - "... I still don't have my *honor* , because ..." ~ 39:31 - #? - "... and says it's an *honor* to welcome such ..." ~ 42:27 - #? - "... because my *honor* depended on it." ~ 43:24 - #? - "... well, I want my *honor* ." ~ 46:28 - #? - "... my *honor* back." ~ 47:43 - #? - "... what if he doesn't restore my *honor* ?" ~ 47:48 - #? - "... today I restored my own *honor* ." ~ 47:49 - #? - "...

SHORTEST TIME BETWEEN "HONOR"S: ~ 1 second LONGEST TIME BETWEEN "HONOR"S: ~ 13 minutes 29 seconds Edit: WHYYYYYY, I WAS AT "HONOR" #8 THEN IT GOT DELETED FOR SOME REASON *angry noises* NOW I HAVE TO START OVER. WHATEVER, I'LL DO THIS ANOTHER DAY.

When you really think about it, Zuko is actually incredibly competent. He's a skilled fighter that can even manage to out-fight people ranked above him, he's clever and quick to act, knows when to prioritize the mission and take risks and when to pull back and act as a responsible leader... sure, he's hot-headed and full of emotional baggage, but he's actually really good in a pinch at manipulating people to get what he wants and taking advantage of opportunities when they come his way. Pirates literally try to assassinate him and his first instinct is to fake his death and infiltrate the enemy base, and it unironically works, he manages to capture Aang and tie him up.
The only problem is he's trying to catch a master Airbender who can literally fly and can escape in any direction he wants to. So no matter what he does, Aang just sort-of finds a way to slip away and flies off. The only other people in the Fire Nation who catch Aang generally have the advantage of superior reinforcements or cutting-edge steampunk technology. Outside of that, there's Bumi, but that's more of an "I guess we can't escape when there is no door out of here" type of deal.

His only real mistake is leaving the Avatar alone with the guards in Episode 2, and that's just because he was caught off guard by Aang being a literal child. How was he supposed to know some goofy kid would be able to overwhelm two armored trained guards with his hands tied behind his back?!

Can we get the entirety of the PJO and HOO series from Nicos perspective? Should take like 20min 😂😂
Second
T h i s
Agreed.
Can even use the same wig.
THAT WOULD BE PERFECTION
After procrastinating for two decades. This video typed me over the edge, I have now binged the whole series
good
I love this series so much. If you ever do this for the Owl House I would love Luz's or Hunter's POV because I know you can make it so funny
Zuko, a teen boy, making a "That's what she said" joke is hilarious.
"...but more importantly, a hundred years later things got a lot worse for me, personally when I realized my father didn't love me."
This is, of course, hilarious & fabulous & satisfying. However, hot damn you really also struck the emotional notes in an impressively poignty way. The whiteboard starts out like a simple prop, but the way eventually honor is all that's left really poetically fits how his honor was there all along & not derived from the other figures in his life. And then the surprise after that is just extra artful, really creates a subtle moment of snap-to-awareness that neatly facilitates the abrupt & sincere emotional tone shift befitting the scene. Spectacular use of simple visual storytelling. The soft subtle audio shifts are super helpful for creating a sense of chapteriness, too, without having to ever slow the pace. And some of the ways you condense/comment on/act certain bits really capture the character in the core honest loving way that the best satire necessitates. Love this, thanks for putting in so much work & personality & making this excellent video!
Zuko 's firebending abilities develop as the series goes on but what makes him strong is his fighting abilities
Most of the benders depend on their bending but there was a time were zuko only used his swordman abilities.
I can’t believe this entire video, all 1 and a half hours of comedy, pathos, and beautiful narration and observation, was just the set up for an incredible “your mom” joke. Amazing.
Also, this video finally made me accept that between ATLA and Legend of Korra, Mai and Zuko broke up, because uh, wow their relationship was *not* the most stable or even that deep.
1:19:12 I love how you did Zukos thoughts on Kataras badassery in that episode 😭😭
My stupid ass laughed so hard when you showed that picture of Azula with the voiceover saying "there's just something off."
I still laugh that Zuko did a good thing and ended up in angst coma!!!
I'll rewatch this for the sole sake of counting how many times and when Zuko says "honor".
"HONOR" COUNTER:
~ 0:43 - #1 - "...he'd restore the most important thing in the world to me, my *honor* ."
~ 0:49 - #2 - "...but if anyone could find him, that would be me, because my *honor* depended on it."
~12:19 - #? - "First off, I don't want to hear his sh*t, if it would be about *honor* that would be a different story, anyway..."
~ 14:12 - #? - "... I tell her I need to find the avatar to restore something that I lost, my *honor* ..."
~ 17:17 - #? - "... I'm not any closer to regaining my *honor* than I was weeks ago ..."
~ 27:39 - #? - "... now I've lost it all: the avatar, my throne, my *honor* ..."
~ 29:00 - #? - "Okay, I believe she did, but how dare she lie about my *honor* !"
~ 31:00 - #? - "... I have to find him to restore my *honor* ."
~ 31:55 - #? - "... there's a simple *honor* in poverty ..."
~ 32:24 - #? - "... I still don't have my *honor* , because ..."
~ 39:31 - #? - "... and says it's an *honor* to welcome such ..."
~ 42:27 - #? - "... because my *honor* depended on it."
~ 43:24 - #? - "... well, I want my *honor* ."
~ 46:28 - #? - "... my *honor* back."
~ 47:43 - #? - "... what if he doesn't restore my *honor* ?"
~ 47:48 - #? - "... today I restored my own *honor* ."
~ 47:49 - #? - "... I restored my *honor* ."
~ 48:15 - #? - "... with my *honor* ."
~ 48:53 - #? - "... not accomplished, but apparently I still get my *honor* ."
~ 50:07 - #? - "... while I chose *honor* ."
~ 58:07 - #? - "... that it was my *honor* that I ..."
~ 1:10:28 - #? - "... his *honor* ..."
~ 1:10:31 - #? - "... you got me at *honor* ...."
~ 1:23:50 - #? - "... with unquestionable *honor* ..."
~ 1:23:58 - #? - "... and restored my *honor* ..."
~ 1:24:01 - #? - "... restore the *honor* of the Fire Nation."
~ 1:26:56 - #? - "... and I promise to restore the *honor* of the Fire Nation."
SHORTEST TIME BETWEEN "HONOR"S: ~ 1 second
LONGEST TIME BETWEEN "HONOR"S: ~ 13 minutes 29 seconds
Edit: WHYYYYYY, I WAS AT "HONOR" #8 THEN IT GOT DELETED FOR SOME REASON *angry noises* NOW I HAVE TO START OVER. WHATEVER, I'LL DO THIS ANOTHER DAY.
Avatar is my comfort show and this is my comfort TH-cam video.
So at first I was like, I'm going to watch this for a little bit and then add this to watch later as I always do with long videos, but apparently I've just watched the whole thing. It's absolutely hilarious and I love it. Good job 👌
Literally same
Same!
i never thought of zuko not knowing the gaang's names and its hilarious. these videos are great
Drinking game? Sip for every “honor”said? 💃🏻 getting drunk tonight
are you still alive?
More like get sent to ER tonight 😂
"That makes two of us, at least"
ZUKO NOOOOO
I forgot how funny zuko looked when aang told him he was pretty smart I love his little smile
this feels like being on facetime with zuko lmao
…”Then we both slice off our top knots and drop ‘em into the river.”
LITERAL GOLD 😂
"Earth Bending Toddler."
This video has quickly become my comfort video. I’m on my fourth watch right now and it never fails to make me feel better. So, truly, thank you so much for making this video, it definitely makes nights like these a bit easier to get through…
i seriously can't express how much your comment means to me. thank *you* my dude
@@AmandaTodhunterOfficial I'm glad. I wrote it after a pretty difficult day and I really hoped it might mean something to you just like this video means something to me, so I'm really happy it did
watching this feels like i got sat down by zuko and forced to listen go his life story presentation
Great Zuko costume! The scar’s on the wrong side, though
THE SCAR IS NOT ON THE WRONG SIDE!!!
it's literally not though????
@@m00n_beetle It's a reference to a chapter where a boy tells Zuko that his scar is on the wrong side because he thought it was a Zuko costume.
@@sophiablackthorn oh my god i completely forgot about that 😭 it's been a while since i was fully submerged in the fandom 🫠
next time maybe use /ref though? just a suggestion, of course 😊
No its right
Your humour is unmatched, great video as always!
I was multitasking and I haven't even realized I've watched the entire 1,5 hours. So entertaining, thank you!
"When i realized my family didn't love me" oh zuko baby
i need twilight from charlie's pov next
Omg YES
YES HOLY SHIT charlie is the only good thing from that series 😩🤌
TEAM CHARLIE unironically a pretty good dad
This feels like Zuko's journal
Katara: the fire nation killed my mother
Zuko: lol same
I’m not gonna sit here and watch this video for an hour and a half cuz I have the attention span of a goldfish bud just from your cosplay I can tell it is very accurate 😂😂❤️
I love how you take the puzzle down, and then rebuild it.
Really, very very good 💕
Zuko’s ability to catch a full grown man with one arm while hanging onto a ladder with the other is the most insane upper body strength feat in the entire series, and yes that includes korra and her godly back muscles 😂
So, respectfully, ima need every character. But mostly Katara just having a struggle 24/7 waiting to bring up her mom
So .. are Aang and Zuko technically grandfather/grandson? What's the proper classification when reincarnation is involved?
no clue what the classification would be, but there was a missed opportunity for those jokes
This feels like it should have come out in 2012 and have 5 million views nice job
Every time Zuko talks about/with Zhao, I chuckle a little.
Edit: sorry, I misspoke. Every time Zuko talk, I chuckle a little
"caterpillar pig" is THE animal fusion i need to see, it needs to be big like appa too
