Urgh, urgh, urgh.Īnd don't get me started on Embers' Katara. The guy even admits in-universe that his actions pre-Gaang were not morally upright. It tries to glorify Zuko, which a baaaad act that reeks of overtime Zuko-love. Don't compare the two, because they are not like each other.Īnd Embers is terrible. Once he gets over his whining (which is mid S3), the guy is a pretty good character. Blue Spirit awesomeness + the Boiling Rock stuff. Zuko is probably fascinating because of that legitimate Anti-Villain status and the fact that he is a natural Angst magnet. Draco betrayed Potter twice and ultimately contributed nothing to the defeat of Voldemort, except in the most tenuous way (aka his "wand" thing). Even Rowling admits that the Malfoys' redeeming trait is their love for each other. The worst that came from that is high expectations from his father. All of this, accompanied by the events surrounding his scar, results in a massive Inferiority Complex coupled with a major case of "Well Done Son Guy".ĭraco's childhood, despite what his annoying fangirls say, was good: his doting mother spoiled him sweet, while his father was willing to pay Draco's way onto a Quidditch team. The guy also was sent on a wild goose chase for someone who wasn't seen for a hundred years, which effectively is a permanent banishment. Even his Uncle isn't there for some part of his childhood, dealing with Ba Sing Se and the aftermath of Lu Ten's death. Zuko had a terrible childhood in canon: growing up with prodigy sister who is batshit crazy, mother who abandons him, father who burns him. I dislike it when HP fans compare him with Draco, because the two characters are nothing like each other. He's not an Anti-Hero (at least for the most part) and therefore does douchey things. The old DLP thread on ATLA sums it up pretty well when it said that Zuko is one of the better Anti-Villains out there. Zuko's appeal stems from the fact that he is one of the more interesting characters of the series. Azula isn't the nicest girl in the woods, so yeah. If you can survive through torture/angst-fics, The Way It Was Meant To Be is supposedly pretty good. I can't remember the name now, but I'll post it later. Azula's fans tend to like fics like that one where Zuko and Azula swap destinies.
