In the end Azula is a sad example of how certain unfair expectations are placed upon talented children, and the more they succeed, the more these expectations grow and weigh on the them until they either disappoint those looking down on them or surpass and embarrass their elders. Azula had begun to outshine him with her victories, and Ozai’s maniacal ego couldn’t handle that, so he left her behind to babysit the Fire Nation while he went out to burn/conquer the world, which also was her idea.Īnd while this wasn’t the only thing that aided in her demise, it certainly was the final straw which sent her spiraling down into this… Conquering Ba Sing Se, defeating the Avatar in combat, and dropping some of the most devastating lines of dialogue in villain history she was a force nobody wanted to reckon with.Īnd that become a problem for one asshole in particular…īeing jealous of his own child is just one item on a laundry list of reasons why this guy is the worst father in the history of fathers.
