This is why the fight with Maul killing Qui Gon alters Anakin's fate because he would have been better raised to deal with his emotions.

He didn't just create a memorial. He was also making offerings to his son (I feel you did not do his actions justice by not saying he left offerings). In asian culture, it is believed that the decease are living in the afterlife and would greatly appreciate the offerings. The fruits and incense are part of the belief that Lu Ten would consume their "essences" and will be fed. He's through a spiritual way, doing what a parents does, cooking food to express their love to their child. I'm not sure of Japanese culture, but I know in Chinese culture, the belief is that the decease would actually "starve" if neglected which makes this scene even more compelling when you look at this scene through a Chinese belief perspective. For all we know it's probably been a while since he "fed" his son.

That's what great art in media should do: it should cause you to aspire to become a higher version of yourself. You can make media that's really hysterical, or violent, or sexy, or a flashy roller coaster ride - but all of that stuff ultimately means nothing and will eventually fade away and be forgotten.

My husband told me “if i could i don’t want our son to be like me i joined because of my father and i saw things that are burnt into my memories forever i want our son to have a better life than wearing a uniform”. My husband regrets letting our som hear the war stories when his old brother’s in arms come over to reminist. Only thing my husband say i wants is his son to join the USAF.

This is an amazingly great breakdown of Iroh. For the longest time I felt I was Zuko when I was watching avatar, and now I realize I'm more Iroh. Not to say I've experienced the death of a child (and hopefully I never have to experience that) but I would say I try to push the people around me to be the best that they can be, and honestly, that can be exhausting at times. Just hearing this breakdown helps put things into perspective. Like Iroh, when you have people around you who trust and rely on you, you feel like you have a calling to help people attain their best. And with time you learn that it's not YOUR viewpoint that's important, but the ability for others to fully attain and appreciate their potential is what gives you happiness. or idk, i might be rambling, but this was an amazing breakdown.

My 2 cents. Iroh retreated from the siege, not only beucase he lost hope after the death of his son, but because he now knew the pain of losing someone in a war, his soldiers and his enemies are now not only pieces but a living being with a life and loved ones.

There was a memory of Zuko, I think, in which Iroh was playing at the beach with his son and his nephew. So even before his son's death, Iroh was still there with Zuko. It wasn't Zuko's father who had his arm on his shoulder as he looked out with hope and pride. It was Iroh.

Iroh and Jiraiya from Naruto have always been strong inspirations for me as a man who had no father figure. I strive to obtain their wisdom and goofyness, and be the father to my son that I needed when I was a child 👌👌👌

It’s scary to think, Iroh had the power to destroy Aang without a second thought and instead his focus was Zuko. Evil Iroh would be terrifying.

Man, I was so mad in the Legend of Korra that Korra got to meet Iroh and Zuko didn’t get to meet him again. I think that would’ve at least gave LoK at least a couple of more like points. Could you imagine Zuko seeing Iroh and Iroh saying “Zuko, you’ve gotten so old! I know that you are a great leader and I’m always watching over you from above! And I’ll always be proud of you, and I love… my son.”

Iroh became that father figure in Zuko's life and loved him better than his own father felt for him in that series.
well, for me I think Iroh is someone I want to be like, to show such kindness to even someone that would mug him.... there just needs to be more people like that in the world.... not that I am saying you should teach a mugger to be better at mugging

Every 5 or so years, I rewatch avatar. When i start I feel the nostalgia and I get hype for the funny moments or cool action scenes. And then, about halfway through, the little most important moments that pass by in a flash and are easily forgotten all come in a wave as I experience it all again. My favourite moment in all of avatar that I forget about until it happens every time is uncle iroh getting angry at zuko and not holding back for th first time "who are you, what do you want" hits me in ways I cannot describe and every time I see this scene I change my life trajectory and focus more on what matters yo me as a person. What a powerful show

I love how Iroh has taught so many kids to be strong in a way that embraces your emotions and kindness. Strength is not hard and spiky and one dimensional. It is firm and multi-faceted. He showed that it takes great courage to be loving in the face of so much pain.

I didn't watch Avatar as a kid. I'm 30 and watching it for the first time. The Book of Iroh caught me entirely off guard and delivered possibly the second hardest gut punch of my entire life. I'm not ashamed to admit that I was trying my best not to cry. I failed.

Iroh is the complete opposite of my own father. My father values harshness, because he thinks the world demands it to survive. But Iroh showed me that kindness and strength are not mutually exclusive.

Something I’ve noticed after rewatching the series is that Azula wasn’t “born lucky”, she was filled with hatred from a young age, which allowed her to become a prodigy early on. This eventually became her downfall in the final Agni Kai, her hate for Zuko, emotional turmoil, and lack of another source than anger, led her to lose her edge. Zuko wasn’t an untalented fire bender, he became one of the best in the fire nation. He was just not a hateful child. His mom fostered his caring, loving side. When she was gone, all he had was anger to fuel him.

A couple of quotes I could easily see Iro saying 1) from the Fire Guardian Ignitus in the Legend of Spyro : Dawn of the Dragon “Even in the darkest of times, there is always hope, but sometimes fear clouds our vision, sometimes our strength gives out, and sometimes, when all seems lost, a light shines through the darkness, and we are reminded that even the smallest amount of courage, can change the tides of war” 2) From Terrador, the Earth Guardian in The Legend of Spyro : A New Beginning “All warriors feel fear at one point or another… There’s no shame in that. But only the bravest among them can learn to face their fears and master them…”

By all rights, Iroh is the Firelord during the events of the show, which is kind of poetic as the Father Zuko had who greedily stole the throne was far less of a father than the man who willingly gave it up and refused it to become the father Zuko needed
