United States of Natan wrote:So guys, I found this really interesting theory that claims that Iroh was trying to sabotage zuko's quest for the avatar. For example, the white lotus tile. He claimed to have lost it, but couldn't find another one, and when the avatar got away, he "found" it in his sleeve. There's a few more examples besides that.
Not all that interesting, really. We know by the end what Iroh's real goals were- helping the Avatar, and helping Zuko straighten himself out. Quietly throwing a wrench in the works when possible whenever Zuko was getting a little too close to succeeding in going after Aang just makes sense.
