<p>Well, you could argue tenzin was raised by his own kids, so of course he knows how to handle them. </p>

<p>Tenzin is a good father, because Aang was as well. Sure, he may have had favorites among his kids, but it wasn't to the extent to which Ozai favored Azula and severely abused Zuko. Aang may have favored Tenzin the most because he was his only Airbender child....but Aang still loved all of his children. That's why Bumi and Kya harbor some resentment towards Aang and Tenzin simply out of their jealousy, but they still greatly love Tenzin and their father. Ozai always put Azula on the pedestal every single moment of every single day...claiming that "she was born lucky", while Zuko "was lucky to be born". That's why Azula went psychotic under such high expectations set by her father, and that's what gave her such an arrogance to do and act as she pleased. When Ursa was banished, Azula was happy because now her slightly hindering factor in life (Ursa) was gone, and she had all the power in the world as Ozai would always favor her. Zuko really lost by his mom's banishment as now there is no one to try to protect him from Ozai's wrath and wretchedness.  </p><p>And Ozai was a bad father because Azulon was also very cold and unresponsive to the young Ozai. Iroh (just like Zuko) somehow must have taken some traits and characteristics from his mother, which made him very gentle, caring, and understanding.  </p>

<p>@MasterAirbender02 Agreed, they're assholes! </p><p>@568659 No, I don't agree that Zuko was more affected by their mom leaving than Azula was, at all. Not for a second. </p>

<p>well if you consider the fact that azula went through a mental breakdwon due to her mommy issues then azula had it worst then zuko. most people dont see it cause zuko is the one tlaking about his mom( when he ask ozai where his mom is). azual assumes her mom loves zuko more then her which is what caused her to break down mentally and emotionally. (her hallucinations) </p>

<p>Ursa wasn't such a good mother. No matter how Azula was as a child and later on as a teen and so forth she should have loved her. Ursa should have tried to shape Azula differently or at least make a difference in her life. She loved Zuko and didn't really care for Azula , who was really affected by that even though she didn't show it. She deserved to be loved by her mother no matter how evil she was. </p>

<p>@MasterAirbender02 I agree completely! </p><p>@All, I still sympathize more for Azula then Zuko, because her mommy issues hit her worst, and what got on my nerves was hoe, in <i>The Promise</i>, Zuko could still not tell, even after Azula had been admitted into an asylum for it, that she needed her mother even more than he did. I mean, really, he was I going to bring her for a reward, until she told him that she also rated to know about their mom? either the mental asylum is extremely poor and lacking for not being able to detect what Azula's problem, when she's blatantly screaming it out, or Zuko is that lacking and inept. Although he should be able to tell, given that's, what, two years older and that she constantly talks about their mom after her breakdown -_- </p><p>Also, I agree that Ursa was a very partial mother. Why? Because, when Azula did something wrong, then she gave her the cold shoulder, grounded her, and hissed "what is <i>wrong</i> with that child?", right in earshot of little Azula, so that Azula could know since day one how auras had felt of her. </p><p>And Ozai's favoritism of Azula's talent only to screw her over and throw her away at the last minute is nothing compared to the real love that Ursa and Iroh handed to Zuko. If Zuko had beenborn as talented as Azula, not expressed himself, and not gotten nanny help to solve his turmoil from his sister, Katara, Mai, Ty Lee, and Iroh, then Ozai would've made it his business to screw him up as badly as he did Azula. Hell, Zuko almost <i>did</i> turn out that bad, even undermine those conditions, until Iroh told him that he was also Roku's great grandson (something that no one ever told Azula) and gave him the balance speech, and <i>even then</i> it took him a couple of days to <i>finally</i> realize what he'd been doing wrong -_- Although I <i>did</i> find it kind of unintelligent off him to go and spill out all his future plans to Ozai and prepare him for what's coming -_- </p>

Actually Zuko didn't really spill out anything because as far as Ozai was concerned he was just a traitor and a waste of a man so what Zuko did or said made no difference whatsoever. Ozai wasn't stupid he thought the Avatar wouldn't even consider taking Zuko on his side because of what Zuko did in the past. Ozai saw Zuko as delusional and didn't express any concern over what he said.

<p>Vaatu is similar to Ozai in being full of himself. super egotistic. Prideful to the infinite degree. I hope we find that Vaatu said. "let her go.  she is insignificant and weak.. like all humans"  Then the big bunny butterfly (who was flying away) turns good again... If Jinora is truly a minor character in Book 2 she would return to her body.  if a major character in the finale, she will still be trapped. (not sure why not important)  Sorry, have not thought of an ending after that.  wish we had a cheat sheet from the creators.  Thought OF IT...  I would like to see Jinora riding on bunny butterfly with thousands of spirits (with powers we dont know of) and the big owl beside her with Iroh riding him. going to kick Vaatu's butt.
</p>

<p>The Owl will not take any part in the finale that is my guessing. He only appeared once and that's the way it's gonna be  - he helped Unalaq find Jinora as soon as Jinora told Wan Shi Tong that she came with the Avatar in the Spirit World. </p><p>I hope Jinora will be important - my money is on Tenzin and the others going to the SWT to enter the Spirit World along with her body to try and find her. </p>
