Actually ironically enough the metal fans and armor were the only reason she survived. The blast to the fans messed her badly and almost killed her, but the most of the electrify stayed centralized in her fans and hands. All the subsequent blasts to her armor were basically just swinging metal baseball bats at her back(so still pretty painful) as the cloth padding between her body and armor kept the actual electricity from touching her skin.
Metal armour may very well actually help protect you from lightning. Electricity flows like water, it will take the path of least resistance to ground itself and metal conducts electricity significantly better than flesh does. (you can find videos of people wearing chainmail near tesla coils to demonstrate this, the electricity will arc through the suit without harming the wearer).
This is admittedly an oversimplification of how the physics actually works, and you'd likely still get burned incredibly badly doing this but its better than it pathing through your heart and nervous system.
It's the Faraday Cage effect. They were criticized for not knowing about it when Legend of Korra was airing. It seems they, or at least Yee, took the criticism to heart.
I have to disagree, I accept that she grew past it but the grievance happened, it has nothing to do that she did better later with the fact that she had no excuse for what she did on the moment.
Reminds me of that "King Jauffre out of context" video from a few years back that completely has lighted fake game of thrones fans into thinking he was a good dude
There is a really great fan comic of Aang waking up in a reverse world, where the Water Tribe is evil and he has to fight Katara and Sokka with Zuko and Azulas help
So…I’ve been playing a Baldur’s Gate 3 run as Azula so a strangely political dark urge(she’s a tab not a Durge) run (Rip Wyll and Karlach, she killed the grove because Azula wouldn’t give a damn about Druids and find them week!) however as I’m playing the run I’ve had thoughts of her actually becoming friends with this band of weirdos enough so that I love the idea of making a second run for her to be her best self and slay, nice Azula would be cool!
The Azula-Toph dynamic remained mostly unexplored unfortunately. Seeing that they have several traits in common (misanthropy, ruthlessness, high degree of talent) and that Azula showed a baseline of respect towards Toph it could be an interesting path to lead the series towards. Did the live action series introduce anything of the sort?
It's the only part of season 3 that I just never understood. Even then, what favors from Zuko does she even need? No way Ozai would crown him Fire Lord, despite being the eldest, and she already had dirt on him because she knew he was visiting Iroh in secret, so like??? What was her angle? Maybe a part of her actually cares for him, but in the flashback for the Agni Kai, she was SMILING watching Ozai burn Zuko, so again, I don't really understand her reasoning at all. Maybe she just wanted to f@#$ with him, like a cat does a mouse.
Azula MOCKED Toph by calling out her blindness. 2. Azula wanted to KILL Aang. 3. She only helped Zulo because she admitted she needed him in the moment and then tried to get him to take the blame when the avatar turned out to be alive.
Katara never made fun of Toph, she forgot she was blind because she saw Toph as someone just as capable as any seeing person. She was jealous of Aang because he learned something that took her MONTHS to learn in just a few minutes, everyone has had that one advanced student in their class that does everything better than them and they naturally become jealous of. Zuko betrayed her and nearly got her crush and best friend killed!?
