I think the thing about redemption arcs is that they really show you what it takes for a wide group of people like your audience to forgive someone, because in a strong redemption arc, a character has done things that would piss off the audience a bit. There’s an inkling of her capacity to change. Zuko is the Crown Prince of the Fire Nation and a skilled firebender, meaning he has the ability to create and control fire through martial-arts techniques. On top of that, instead of glossing over the question of why we're all behind Finn getting a redemption arc but "woo"-ing over the fiery death of stormtroopers who we don't personally know, it addresses that Azula is just as much a product of the same fucked-up family dynamic as Zuko, and when she's finally defeated and impotently rage/sobbing, he just looks sad. I’m divided. What an interesting question. A redemption arc means that you have to change the character in some capacity. It’s a great opportunity to explore and develop all their characters more. Chris: Yeah.

Zuko’s redemption arc is one of the most engaging pieces of such personal development ever put to screen and made him one of the show’s most compelling characters, and …
I can’t give a straight answer, unfortunately. With 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' arriving on Netflix, here's a guide to give you a taste of the series and its high points amid the show's 61 episodes.

On the one hand, I love Azula. A redemption arc for her would also delve more into her relationships with her mom and Zuko. She has shown she can get along with Zuko at least sometimes and has some desire to earn acceptance from her mother.
