The only problem I have with the art is that Kei Lo's character design is generic garbage. Even Azula's henchwomen have more memorable designs, and they are in maybe 3 panels.

In their defence, Kei Lo originates from the Rebound short comic with Mai from years ago, they didn't invent the character or his original design. Also, his generic design suits the fact that he's a shitty plot device that nobody cares about.

The plot's always bent over backwards for Azula. Upon rewatching the series, most of her plans seem pretty dumb.

>>82518303
There isn't a real antagonist in the series anymore asides from Azula. So they've turned her into a recurring baddy who never accomplished anything but is also never truly defeated.

>>
>>82518354
>>82518346
I can actually kind of see her plan in that she plays on Zuko's most extreme insecurities following the recent story of Aang and him being on opposite sides. That ZUko would protect his country in the worst ways possible painting him as just as unstable as the firelords before him. And then it would probably come to a head to have a coup forced on him and him having to make a decision to begin putting his own people down to make order.
>>
>>82518378
Scrapper pls go
>>
>>82518380
The way they present Azula's goals is maybe the only thing in this issue that's mildly interesting. But the way they go about having her slink away to return later is pretty bad. It makes is look like they're going to just bring her back whenever they need to artificially raise the stakes.
>>
>>82518421
That's true, I suppose it's going to be a build up where Azula starts to spread more and more slander followed by some time skips. It could be that she intends to die at his hand by becoming the peoples hope to the new firelord and then taking a fatal hit that would push them and Zuko over the edge of Tyranny.

I just hope the next arc isn't portrayed to be overly long.

My bet is that Azula is going to create a dangerous situation that gets out of her control to the point where Zuko might die, but Azula jumps in and takes the hit. She's supporting his regime in her own crazy way now, after all.

>My bet is that Azula is going to create a dangerous situation that gets out of her control to the point where Zuko might die, but Azula jumps in and takes the hit. She's supporting his regime in her own crazy way now, after all.

That would sound fun as a story element in that she does believe she's actually helping him become a better firelord. The sisters don't exactly seem to be the most loyal so more then likely they'll conspire to topple the whole thing and that will be a plot point of Azula protecting her brother.

Or them turning on Azula and him taking a hit to perpetuate that Zuko feels more like a big brother then he has in years after being around Kiyi.
>>
Yang always fucks up on the third book. He's not a finisher.
>>
>>82518969
Worst part is that happens all the time despite how the second parts of his trilogies always have so little plot to the point that they usually end up being the best of the bunch because they have to rely more on small character moments rather than bending action, plot-twists and pay-offs
>>
>>82517698
Literally every romance in Avatar was a mistake. Except maybe Suki and Sokka. Even then, that was blandly tolerable. Everything else has been a stupid, neverendingly aggravating affair.
>>
>>82518281
>I just want him never to get back with Mai.

Fucking this, all these comic books have showed is that Zuko is a terrible boyfriend that only gives a shit about her when she is fucking somebody else in front of him and that it's such a toxic relationship that most of their time together is either Zuko pissing off Mai or Mai passively aggresively insulting Zuko.

Not to mention that Mai was much happier with this random faggot and that Zuko seems more with any of his team avatar friends and even with Suki out of all people than with his fucking girlfriend.

But no romance except Aang/Katara dominated the proceedings like Kei Lo-Mai-Zuko did. The second issue was entirely made out of horribly awkward moments between those 3 while nothing interesting happened.
>>
>>82519125
It was literally the fact that they were the same character but the opposite sex. That dynamic in itself is just boring but more then that, their personalities are such that they could never make each other better in the long run. Mai leaving Zuko was the best thing that could have happened to both of them and now with Zuko maturing i want him to GROW THE FUCK UP AND GET OVER HER so he can look for someone who would actually complete him for all his flaws as a character.

This was awful, and this is coming from someone that defends about 80% of LoK:

>Azula comes back, declares that her new goal is to fuck with Zuko, then fucks off
>Kiyi is suddenly ok with Ursa for no real reason
>Ozai goes back to his ATLA self
>still no Toph/Zuko interaction in the comics

I think what they were going for was that Kiyi didn't hate Ursa because of her face change, but because when her memories came back so did her insecurities and she was no longer acting the same way as before.
When she confronted Ozai and began living happily again instead of in constant worry, Kiyi's mother "came back". Though Kiyi immediately noticing the change in attitude just from Ursa getting into bed is a stretch.

That's... actually a pretty deep idea. I can see a parallel because in azula's mind caring was something that her mother just wasn't able to accurately give her and Zuko being her perceived favorite I can see him caring for someone over her as a another hit to her esteem since his brother couldn't actually care for her either

Zuko winning by being a better person and not winning because of powerlevels isn't deep, it's surface level. It's something that was written with the intention of 7 year olds being able to grasp it.

But no the idea is that it's actually a spiritual or mental fight happening during a physical fight.

For a character who comes back with a realization about her "destiny" it's actually a deep thing that makes her attitude now seem understandable.

Jesus christ, how do they manage to write Zuko so persistently inept at learning when to shut his mouth and listen to others, or just meeting them halfway or just flat out asking someone a question without accusing them of something.

Well, Ursa is kind of a piece of shit.
>>
>>82533443
To be fair he's actually on high alert since he knows the threat is real as shit and he doesn't necessarily like kei-lo even though he knows if he didn't really trust him he would never let him near Mai. He even admits to handling everything poorly and strives to be a better firelord and a better person.

I hope for his sake that he never gets back with Mai.
>>
>>82518378

So do I. Azula and Ursa should have a nice chat.

>>82532849

Aang and Katara are ok in the comics, but Yang is vetoed from fucking with them too much.

And yang is doing whatever the fuck he is trying to pull with those Zuko/Suki scenes.
>>
>>82533693
So long as it's not Mai he gets with I can deal.
>>
>>82533545
Yeah, I can understand why he did it, he's always been an act first on impulse and emotion kind of decision maker. Problem is, he's supposed to be learning not to be like that anymore as being Firelord demands a more even head. It's not enough to keep suggesting he'll get there, you have to show it and that would have been a good opportunity to do it, without resorting to Zuko apologizing again. At the very least he's getting better at speaking to people, appealing to shared emotions with citizens behind his actions, that's a big plus for a leader going forward.

These comics just really struggle with the balance between show and tell, in this issue for example Kiyi's reconcilliation with Ursa could have easily been developed by a couple more panels focused on it. When the kids mention their parents not visiting, have Kiyi look visibly upset at the prospect that she won't see them again, then have her be resolute and do her whole melting the door thing. Then later when Ursa returns, having squared up to Ozai have a couple of panels showing them actually glad to see each other, perhaps mentioning how glad they are to see each other again, bam character relation arc done conclusively.

Hopefully there isn't any relationship drama in the next one who the hell am I kidding, of course there will be as it never seems to be handled how it should, as a supporting plot point between characters when the main plot isn't being touched on. Zuko just needs someone who can talk him down when he gets overly emotional and doesn't think things through, Mai's got the forward thinking part down, but she doesn't seem to be able to deal with him when he gets obstinate.

>those Zuko/Suki scenes.
It's baffling going from their normal relationship of people that like and are comfortable around each other to the soap opera melodrama that is every Mai/Zuko scene, even moreso now with the retarded and pointless love triangle.

I seriously don't know what the fuck is Yang trying to do.
>>
>>82534302
I think that yes as a character Zuko should be growing into his post, however a majority of the situations being placed upon him, especially with him being the somewhat unpopular firelord in his country, are genuinely out of his control and all he has been allowed to do is react. To protect the colonists who have been living in the earth nation and have acclimated as citizens, To react quickly to the threat of child kidnappings, letting no one leave the capital as there could be a chance that the kidnappers could escape, To fighting his own people who preferred Ozai's way of ruling. He's really had the work cut out for him since the beginning especially with his reign starting out tentative and unsure leading in to putting his people and country before himself and his relationships with friends like a good leader should and at the same time because of his predecessors people are more often then not less likely to give him any leeway.

I agree handling of character growth and smoothness of progression should have definitely been handled better. The whole development with Kiyi and Ursa is being handled poorly in general. I can only hope it gets better but whatever.

I don't actually believe Mai would be a good match for him since both of their insecurities would just end up with them being toxic to each other. I think Kei Lo was good for her as an opposite and I'm hoping for someone who would stay by Zuko through thick and thin like the obvious way Kei Lo will for Mai despite being dismissed for his own safety.
>>
>>82534721
Oh I agree, the events thrust upon Zuko were severe enough in origin that he alone was never going to be able to handle them alone. I was focused more on his personal response to handling the situations, given his inexperience it's understandable he doesn't handle it as cleanly as one would expect. However, it feels like he makes the same mistakes in how he tries to approach the problems and other people linked to the problems themselves, the obvious example being Aang who he doesn't consult with nearly enough, he either flat out agrees with him or just says 'no I have to do it my way' without actually listening to what Aang has to say. It would have been an amazing follow up from his interactions with Ozai if he'd been more receptive to Aangs ideas, hearing him out, but then choosing to go with his more military based solution to controlling the crisis. That'd be some solid development there that's morally grey but understandable in his uncertain position. Even if he doesn't like Ozai, it's clear he respects him and when you're uncertain of how to handle things out of you depth, you naturally look to someone who you respect who has been in that position before. That could tie in nicely with Iroh returning as Zuko comes to realise that even though Ozai was right in that he needs to be more sure of his own decisions, he can find wisdom from open sources he respects and likes in Aang and Iroh.

There's positives and negatives with them together, I do think that Mai is at the very least someone that understands Zukos shortcomings and could fill in that gap were he receptive to listening to her. However, she doesn't seem able to handle him when he goes into one of his moods and they're both so dour, I think he'd do well with someone more positive minded, but understanding of the issues he faces. I do agree with the latter point though, a good end for Mai would have been living a normal life with Kei Lo.

>>82534375
It's sad really. Just about everyone has better chemistry with Zuko.
>>
>>82535086
I feel like with Uncle back in the mix he would get the adequate advice that he desperately needs, not only concerning his family and his people but with himself and his apparently on going struggle to be a good person. I feel like the reason he doesn't listen to aang at all is because of the initial encounter during the Earth Nation colonies which resulted in Aang realizing he was the wrong one. Zuko could probably see that Aang also doesn't have all the answers he needs and, in the long run must stay to his own ideals to be seen as a good fire lord not a fire lord reliant solely on the avatar to find his way, one his people can truly respect. Truthfully I feel like Ozai actually did see Zuko for what he was and, in his own twisted way, was trying to keep him out of dangers way.

>>82536551
The synopsis claim that a woman named Malina is responsible for turning the SWT into a huge city, and Malina happens to be the name of Unalaq's wife.

Though it can't be her since Unalaq won't be born until at least 30 years from where the ATLA comics are right now.

Malina is Unalaq's wife and mom. Watercest is real. Also why Unalaq is retarded and his kids are also into watercest.

The next avatar will end of being one of Toph's great-grandkids, because of the writers are hacks. Korra has 15 years, tops. And the poor Earth avatar will only have Korra to guide him/her, the poor fuck.

Because if there was something the franchise needed besides another love triangle, it is another generation of Beifong family drama.

Having her live a longass time would actually be the smart thing to do because they'd be able to say "they're all dead/their grandkids/great-grandkids don't care about the new Avatar" and not have to come up with life stories for everyone. The next Avatar series will either have to take place far in the future with Korra reaching her 90s and maybe not having any kids, or far in the past, because I don't want to see how strong the drama gene is in the Beifong family like 100 years from now or how Aang's greatx7 grandkids still feel the pressure of being related to him, or old lady Asami compliment the next Avatar's haircut.
