THE VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXGtdF4oJI4&ab_channel=Avatar%3ATheLastAirbender

I actually made this video a year ago but decided not to upload it, as I feared the Avatar channel would come after me. But I decided to upload it anyway. Enjoy!

  1. You know I bet it’s just like the one dude that knows nothing about Avatar, that just secretly made this video without anyone (that actually knows the franchise) and uploaded it secretly. And that dude just has a personal grudge against Iroh because Iroh stole his girlfriend or something!!!

    (Just a hilarious, spit balled based theory though)

  2. Iroh is kind hearted shredded bodybuilder person, one scenario might be he may not be good from starting but his sons death might had changed him or he would be good from starting but just doing his duty for king and kingdom.

  3. Although I appreciate how much the official channel has connected to the fanbase…yeah what they said in that was too much. Yes, Iroh led the attack on Ba Sing Se, but his son passing during said attack made him realize what he was doing was wrong. And like you said, having his Dragon of the West title was for the dragons' sake. Just because he was born in the Fire Nation royal family, doesn't mean he's immediately evil. It's like saying Zuko's daughter Izumi is still evil despite her admitting the Fire Nation had a history of warfare that shouldn't have happened and wanted her nation to stay out of Kuvira's Republic City attack.

  4. Actually iroh is a villian just not in his elder years. Iroh besieged ba sing se and so to the earth kingdom is a villian. To himself and his wife he is the villian for actions taken leading to the death of lu ten. Hell iron himself stated that if he had opposed ozai it would be a rather worthless fight as he has no heir, he's old so his swimmers arent swimming as they once did if at all. So yes there was a time he was a villian to different people but he absolutely was a person with morals unlike his brother whom simply had a viewpoint similar to most princes in the world prior to 1600 that the world of their nation was their toy to amuse themselves with.

  5. OverAnalyzing Avatar talking about how loosely the fandom throws around the word “war crimes” but I didn’t expect the official channel to do. We don’t have an in-depth knowledge of what Iroh did while he was a general, but he’s immediately labeled a war criminal for…being in a war?

  6. I watched the video and read the comments to the video you’re reacting to and this was my favourite comment written by user Kim Jong Un to that Avatar channel …… “ I’m not angry with you, I’m sad because I’m afraid you lost your way”

  7. Wow I'm speechless that the official channel would post something so ridiculous about their own show! Whoever did this clearly doesn't know or appreciate the story or worse did it for clicks and likes

  8. Again? Another character that’s being slandered just for views?
    6:28 He would’ve done some negotiation instead
    7:50 I don’t even watch the show and I know that this is wrong
    Whoever made the video and the script probably forgot about everything in the show/book. They might as well be on Game Theory

  9. Also when Iroh stopped Zhao from attacking Zuko, it was AFTER the Agni Kai. Zhao tried a dirty and Dishonourable attack when Zuko had his back turned. Iroh even telling Zuko not to taint his victory.

    He did not intervene in the dual.

  10. Is it possible that Iroh could've stepped in as Zuko's champion against the Ozai using the same argument the Firelord did? Iroh brought Zuko to the meeting, making him responsible for him.

    Obviously, it would still be an ill-advised choice. Iroh would never beat his younger brother's ass in front of the Firelord's subjects. It would show weakness and produce doubts in the minds of the warriors.

  11. You know I always hate videos where they (insert character) is actually a villain even though they missed the entire point of the character. This is the reason why I tend to dislike people when they don’t like a character for simply being overrated.

  12. The moment I saw the title of this video, I had a raised eyebrow to say the least and hearing the arguments made from the official channel is so absurd that I couldn't take it seriously. Iroh, my favourite character in Avatar deserves better than this.

  13. Before watching the video- hahahahhaha your kidding right iroh is no terms a perfect person he was flaw and we saw how he improved and change himself for the better but evil he is not

  14. Reminds me of when MovieFlame released a video called "Harry Potter Is NOT a Villain" which was Morgan providing a good counterargument to a video by YT channel 'The Take' calling Harry an anti-hero (tho I barely call what The Take wrote an "argument" cuz let's face it, their claims were weak and didn't have secure evidence).
    Thank you for another great video Morgan and for always fair to other content creators, no cursing, just facts, no lashing out, but providing evidence and the canon material it can be found in. The most you've done to be rude is suggest they don't know much about the show they're claiming themselves to be an official channel to and yet you're still not being rude to be pointing out this irony, I'm sure fans would be screaming these facts in a rage. Keep doing good and keep up with these great vids 👍✌️😊

  15. Wow, I don't know what's more grating: this guy's takes or his voice. This is clearly another idiot, imitating Mike Stocklasa's awful Plinkett "reviews" for the SW prequels. I was hoping this BS was dying out, but apparently not, or at least not quickly enough.
