The people unironically saying Zuko didn’t do anything THAT bad when comparing him to Azula.

Like, my man outright burns Kyoshi Island, outright declares his crew doesn’t matter, and threatens Gran Gran when attacking the Souther Water Tribe.

And those are just the first few episodes.

Zuko helped Azula conquer Ba Sing Se and kill Aang. Even when he suspected Aang was alive, he hired an assassin to kill a boy just to cover his own sorry ass.

Let's not minimise Zuko's villainy. His redemption arc exists because he wasn't a good guy.
