#Azula's problem is not that she is some soulless monster who seeks power for power's sake

Real talk, if Azula was half as throne hungry as fandom makes her out to be, ATLA would have been a really short show.

Not to mention, Smoke and Shadow would have been a short and super violent story of Azula using her new allies and abilities, along with the element of surprise, to slaughter Zuko, Ozai, and all of their allies before taking the throne for herself.

Here's some food for thought. A lot of the fandom claims that Azula always wanted the throne. Yet what people fail to see is that in order for this to happen, this child with obvious ABANDONMENT ISSUES would want everyone other than her mother dead. Because she's, you know, the last in line for the throne. And yet she was loyal to her father and she loved him. She loved her brother. If she truly wanted the throne that badly, do you really think she would care about them that much?

Yup, exactly. The show and that horrible comic would have been a heck of a lot shorter.
