Uncle Iroh is a character that must be closely watched.?? He's is cloaked as a old, chubby, and silly man, but do not be fooled.?? What I have observed is that he is a man that has become more complete/wiser when he lost his son.??????If you really pay attention between the interaction with him an Prince Zuku, you can plainly see that he is trying to help him grow as a man.?? Zuku is full of pride (too much), he is trying to hard to please his father.?? Uncle Iroh has taught him more than just fire bending, he is has taught him??humiity, patience, the look outside the fire nation (the look of a commoner's eye), etc.?? There is no doubt that the Prince has learned a lot on his own, butI believe that Iroh knew he would get frustrated and venture out on his own (another lesson).?? The Fire Lord will regret the day he banished his son, it will come back to bite him.?? I belive there will be an?? IMPORTANT??point in the series where Prince Zuku will be his father's??crucial (at that moment) pawn in the war.?? Zuku will has and will have changed a lot and will not abide by his father.?? Which is a huge step for him.?? There are several things that could happen, he could become the Avatar's greatest ally, hmmm he and his uncle are the only fire benders behind the wall of Bey Sing Se.?? Hmmm, I wonder if his father will need him to sabatoge Be Sing Se from the inside out.?? Anyways, Uncle Iroh is a very likeable character and is a big reason for Prince Zuku's life changes!
I really enjoy this series!!!
