Talk:Iroh (United Forces general)/@comment-79.139.152.249-20120619212547

What we do know: there is a war going on.

What I want to know about Iroh II (with so many hopes riding on his abilities):

1) How much war action had he seen (it appears there’s been no major conflicts in the world for many years).

2) Is he any good at strategy (because Amon is superb).

Bending matters less these days, so while I would love to see some cool fighting, General’s role is more strategy and planning. And, personally taking down Amon is Korra’s destiny (shamelessly stealing Zuko’s line here).

I really hope that the fact that there are 5 ships shown being bombed in the promo is a not an indicator of General’s failure, but a part of the larger plan and that he was not brought in to become an epic fail and die. Where are the other 5 ships?? Doing something cool elsewhere? Why are the ships being bombed not responding – are they staffed with minimal volunteer crews ordered to abandon ship (perhaps in subs) at the first sign of trouble? Please make it be so!

Was he fooled by Amon’s wire, or did Korra really find a way to communicate with him (Gommu is a former United Forces telegraph operator, so all they need is a telegraph).

Oh, and did anyone else notice: first introduction of Zuko is Zuko standing on his ship, with his back to the viewer!!! I sure hope this was intentional!
