Don't worry. Deep down everyone wants to be like her, two steps ahead of everybody and freaking awesome. If we resided in Avatarverse, there would be a lot more people who empathized with Azula than didn't.

The only reason anyone here doesn't like her is because she's painted as the badguy in the show, when really anyone from the fire nation would support her and hail her as a hero (prior to Zuko's taking the throne and her mental breakdown of course) (don't believe it? watch season 3 ep 17 The Ember Island Players), and anyone from anywhere else would respect her for her abilities if nothing else.

Me, personally, I root for the villain as often as the hero, and I almost always want to have the villain's resources and power, because let's face it, the villain gets the best of everything except the hero, and that's usually because the writers of the story want a happy ending, which wouldn't happen if the hero lost, regardless of how unlikely it is, so the hero always wins because the writer wants them to and doesn't want a hero with superman syndrome. If you stacked the deck that heavily in real life, the villain would win at least 99 times out of a hundred.

Long live the VILLAINS!
