It dawns on me...

I'm watching Avatar for the first time, and it dawns on me that if Prince Zuko is 16 now his asshole father BURNED HIS FACE when he was only fourteen for speaking up on behalf of young soldiers who were going to be slaughtered, purposefully, by the generals using them as bait so they could get a slight advantage in the war.

Fourteen. And then when he won't fight his father, he's banished. Now THERE is a magnificent bastard.

Ouch. Poor Zuko. I don't mind you coming by, though. :)

I'll check the community out after I get further in the series. Thank you.
