In Azula's Defense

This video essay offers a fresh perspective on Azula from Avatar: The Last Airbender, challenging the common perception of her as purely evil. Far from being a villain, Azula is one of the most misunderstood and mistreated characters in the series. The video explores how her complicated relationship with her mother, Ursa, and the favoritism shown toward her brother, Zuko, shaped her psychological struggles. Through her interactions with Zuko, Mai, and Ty Lee, it reveals a side of Azula that genuinely cares for those around her, driven more by a desperate need for her father’s approval than by malice. Using detailed scene analysis, the video highlights her strategic brilliance, persuasive skills, and the tragic circumstances that led to her eventual breakdown. It reframes Azula not as a villain, but as a complex character with the potential for redemption.
