the fact that we’re expected to buy that iroh told zuko that he should be firelord in front of sokka, toph, suki, and katara and none of them were like “your solution to ending the war is to implement a ‘good’ monarch after replacing the bad one? instead of overturning the imperialist monarchy completely? you want our sixteen year old friend who likes badgerfrogs and turtleducks more than people and is still in the process of unlearning a lifetime of abuse to rule over a nation that’s about to be thrust into an era of political unrest and economic collapse? we’re expected to believe that’s a good idea just because you’re a wise old man who brews good tea? are you high????”
(for what it’s worth, iroh was, in fact, high.)
