GOD!!! I love Iroh
#honestly they could have made his character darker in canon#let him have killed dragons#let people ask why he only stopped the siege after HIS son died#let Zuko in S1 get tired of Iroh's dicking around and scream at him that he's not taking capturing the Avatar seriously so Zuko can go home#and Iroh can't tell him that yeah he doesn't want to go home because he's depressed af#but also acting silly is an easier way to keep Zuko away from Ozai#AND it keeps Iroh away from the Fire Nation#so yeah he's being selfish but it's keeping Zuko safe#I wish Iroh and Azula could have had more one on one moments#I wish he could lament that Azula is going down the same path as him but Azula is too proud to see#that she could lose everything and be as much of 'a loser' like him#Yes there will still be the tension#Iroh will still encourage Zuko with moves that Azula doesn't know if it motivates him#because if Zuko loses faith he WILL get his dumb ass captured and hauled home in chains#Iroh has lost one child he will not lose another#but then let him realize he could be damning Azula all the same#but the more he tries to talk to her the more he sees himself and his pride and ego and he cannot get to her in a way that won't jeopardize#his and Zuko's safety#so he must focus solely on himself and Zuko and getting to BSS#there's more I could say but I think I have enough here lmao
