Phantomheart7 says, "Why do you people think Zuko is misunderstood? Also, I love talking it third person! You should try it sometime! Anyways, what I mean by 'personality' is like, why he is misunderstood, things he's done to be a good person . . . do you know what I mean? The ups and downs of his personality, sorta'." Phantom takes a deep breath, and she waits patiently for replies.

Talking in third person can be fun. ^^ Anyway, on to my post.
Zuko, such a complex character. You know he has a heart and really cares fore people. You can see examples of this from "The Storm" and "Zuko Alone". Afterall he stood up for the regiment in "The Storm" and was trying to say the right thing. He's a very determined person who gets his mind on thing and won't stop until he gets it.
The reason he is misunderstood is the way he acts. He's normally angry, confused, he's going through the ordeals that he faces everyday. He's been scarred and banished from his home, went through all sorts of things through season one, now is a fugitive from the Fire Nation with his sister coming for him, had to go through a situation when Azula struck Iroh. It all eventually led up to that emotional mountain scene in "Bitter Work".
In short, Zuko has been through a lot in his life. It has affected his personality from when he was younger until now. We've also seen how he has changed from episode to epsidoe and how continues to change. I could go more indepth but it's almost 12:00 where I am so I'll leave at that for now. ^^;

You stole the words right out of my mouth. Give them back! XD As fireymomo said, Zuko is misunderstood by how he acts and how his personality drasically changes. He is a very deep character and doesn't always say what he really means, which tends to confuse people. Also, many people just don't know what really happened to him (as seen in "The Storm") and take the wrong idea on who he really is. Most of them think that he was scarred in an accident and that he was banished because of insolence, but in truth, the story was just the opposite. They just don't know who Zuko really is and that is why he is mostly considered misunderstood; they judge Zuko by what they see, not by what they know. Zuko doesn't just open up to people. He keeps his memories and problems locked up in his head, and if something starts bothering him, he just wants to be left alone. But at times, those locked up thoughts can become too much and, as we saw in "Bitter Work", he breaks down. He is very complex and isn't very easy to read for most people. That just builds up more for the title 'misunderstood'. I could write a whole page about this, but I'll spare you and stop there. ^^;; |

phantom says, "that makes three of us. counting me. I mean, he really does try to be a good person, and he kinda does . . . in a way. He achieves good things, but not in a good way. Do you know what I mean? (eg: saved Aang, but perhaps killed a couple of guards . . . maybe) Yeah, the top three 'Zuko' episodes were probably 'The Storm', 'Zuko Alone', and a tie for third place: 'The Chase' or 'Bitter Work'. But the Blue Spirit came really close . . . yeah. I'm a nerd like that." she grins and then sits down, thinking about how much fun she had at camp.

@fireymomo I love to hear more about your zuko ideas! Please continue.
Anyways for me personally I think the whole scar and banish incident from Ozai was a test. To see if Zuko really was in Ozai opinion right for the throne. Obviously Zuko fail miserably so he got conveniently banish to make room for his sister to take over the throne. Its all just politics, Ozai obviously doesn't care about family that much. He just cares about what will make him look good and more powerful. He killed his father Azulan then took the throne from his brother. Also I would like to think for me personally had a hand in Lu Ten death. I found it all to convenient that out of the top three people in line for the throne number 1 and 3 got died near each other.
What was the firenation thinking sending the Fire Nation throne heir out to battle at the same time and his successor while leaving pointless Ozai at home.

Indeed... ^_^ Oh, hello, everyone. *waves shyly* I'm a new member, but also another crazed Zuko fangirl, so to speak, so i guess i'll fit right in. ;D Anyway, back to topic. I agree, he really is misunderstood, and that might be because he's hard to understand. Speaking of which, i think it's kind of strange in a way (tho certainly understandable, i suppose...) that Sokka dislikes Zuko so much, because in some ways they're so much alike. They're both warriors who are loyal to home and family, they both have a sister who tends to outshine them in some ways (with Katara being a bender and all...tho she's much nicer than Azula, of course), and they've both been apart from their fathers (or were for a long time), tho for very different reasons. Also, they both have a slightly touchy side. (How's that for understatement?  ) |

Zuko IS misunderstood. He only got banished because he spoke up for what he felt was right, which was a GOOD thing. He's a little too nice for the Fire ANtion, i think.
