    Then again, to counter your Boiling Rock theory, if she had shot lightning at the gondola, Zuko would've simply redirected it.

    Azula would've known about Zuko's redirection powers from what Ozai told her about his epic pwnage by Zuko.

    I don't think Zuko would've been able to successfully redirect it completely on such an unstable surface. Also, Azula could've just used her blue fire, something you can't redirect.

    Azula's lightning can blast apart the side of a cliff. All she had to do was shoot lightning at the gondola itself, and boom, bye bye Zuko. Even if he and the others survived the blowing up of the gondola (unlikely), then they would have simply fallen down into the boiling lake. No more Zuko.

    I prefer my threads to be free of profanity. Especially when the threads are about Azula. Kindly edit your post.

    Azula does not shoot first and ask questions later. She rationally thinks things through rather than firing willy nilly. She attacks with precision and deadliness. Not wild destruction.

    QFT. Azula never killed Aang because if she did then at the start Ozaii would have been mad at her. However, after some time, Ozaii probably decided it'd be best if the Avatar dies before the comet, otherwise his plan would go to waste. Azula then killed Aang. Now, she held back on Zuko because Zuko was surprisingly stronger (she hadn't fought him for a long time, and the fact he was actually standing a chance against others meant she didn't know what kind of powers he had). Then came the Southern Raiders, when Azula was defeated by Zuko, because she underestimated him. And as you all know, in the finale, Azula defeated Zuko because she knew his worth, but was in insanity and therefore was helpless to Katara. Azula could have easily defeated everyone, however if you remember 220 Azula had gotten almost defeated by Katara. So Katara was her only real threat.

    Well, that was at night, when Katara was empowered by the moon. I thnk the fight would have gone somewhat differently if the fight had been during the day.

    Actually, during the finale Azula had more power than Katara by several magnitudes. I was refering to the CoD fight. In the finale, Azula was hampered by insanity.

    Azula was hampered with insanity, but as you all have said, she had enough sense in order to turn the tides against zuko. so it was a fair fight with katara if it was with zuko, and she was beaten fair and square by katara, making katara her only 1 real enemy.

    God (the creators) needed Aang and Katara to repopulate the air nomads, Zuko to lead teh fire nation and the only redshirted charators are the fire nation. 'nuff said.
