Talk:Iroh (United Forces general)/@comment-46.138.35.218-20120619234908

Wait. Where does it say he will be in season 2? The interview says he is in the finale....

'''The penultimate episode had the surprise appearance of General Iroh. What can you tell us about him? Are we going to see more of him in the future? '''

Konietzko:  Yeah, he’s in the finale. Just so we’re clear—he’s Zuko’s grandson, not his son. I think there was some speculation about whether he was his son or grandson. It is his grandson. He’s voiced by Dante Basco. The idea behind him was to have a swashbuckling hero-type guy. He’s the youngest general in the United Forces which is kind of the U.N. of the “Avatar” world now. We just thought it would be a fun way to tie in the legacy of Zuko without having Zuko be present there.

DiMartino:  It would be hard for Zuko to swashbuckle at his current age.

'''What made you decide to bring Dante Basco back into the cast? '''

Konietzko:  Like Mike said, the whole book one of “Korra” even though we’re striking new ground, it was all built on the foundation of the original series. In the episode “Out of the Past” you see how the events involving Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Toph, have set the stage for the current story. For us it was a way to incorporate Zuko’s legacy with a new fresh face.

DiMartino:  We loved Dante’s work on the old show and we were looking for a way to organically weave him into this one.
