I think it’s funny how when I say I don’t find Book 1 Zuko appealing despite overall loving him, people assume it’s because he’s “evil” or “dangerous” or something to that effect.

It’s the opposite actually, lmao. Book 1 Zuko doesn’t strike me as evil. He doesn’t even strike me as particularly threatening. Overall he just comes off like a bratty child. I mean come on. Kicking over tables and stomping his feet because he’s mad? Yelling at everyone the instant he enters the room to ensure he’s the center of attention? Zuko, you are behaving like an overgrown toddler, not a villain.

(Also yeah I admit it doesn’t help that he looks like an onion)
