Talk:Iroh/@comment-5179242-20120622140312

I keep on being frustrated by the fact that Iroh's story was left unfinished by the creators. I've never quite been able to comprehend why that's so or what the creators would have said about him. It's a bit disappointing, actually. And even more so for me because I'd say Iroh is one of the best characters in The Last Airbender.

The main issue I have is that the creators never explained a small but interesting line said by Zhao to Iroh in ''The Siege of the North. I believe it went: I've even heard rumors about your journey into the Spirit World''. I would've loved to see this aspect of Iroh's past be explored in-depth by the creators, but they seemed to shy away from it after the end of the episode. It's quite a shame, because it would've been epic to see a Zuko Alone style episode about Iroh's journey. Some may argue that Zhao was lying and Iroh never went to the Spirit World, but I strongly dispute that. Some stuff we've seen about Iroh seems to point toward the journey to have happened. For example, Iroh was somehow able to see a dragon from the Spirit World in The Winter Solstice: Part One and knew about Yue's connection to the Moon Spirit even though he had never seen her before (as observed in The Siege of the North: Part Two).
