    Fun fact about making tea:
    The secret to a good cup of tea is often in the temperature of water that you use.
    For a firebender, heating a pot of water wouldn’t be difficult- a few seconds of rage and you’d have it at a rolling boil- but a rolling boil would ruin the tea.
    Jasmine, green and white tea tends to need between 160-180* F (71-82*C)- go any higher than that, and you’ll scald the leaves and wind up with bitter tea. Let it steep for too long, and it’ll scald anyway. So you can’t just boil the hell out of it and walk away; to be really good, a cup of tea needs a lower temperature and a softer flame. It needs patience and attention. And that’s where Uncle Iroh excels.
    Still don't get the connection? Zuko never prepared a good cup of tea before because he was too impatient to heat it
    properly and Iroh started working on that connection with Zuko right then and there.
    Like literally after this the main plotpoint between these two is Iroh teaching Zuko how to be more patient/kind/open-minded while also teaching him how to properly work in the tea shop
    Turns out those two were actually not just random meshing plotpoints but were a direct correlation.

      For Jasmine tea, I wonder how that applies to using flowers as well as the leaves? The best Jasmine tea that I ever had was when I was living in Chengdu, China; probably the best tea that I've ever had in my life. I have to try to make it myself sometime.

    Worth it to point out that despite the humble position they find themselves in, uncle Iroh is thriving. It’s a simple life, but Iroh was able to get passports, jobs, and even a home by just making the best of where he’s at. Meanwhile, zuko wanting more and better constantly comes up short, and it fuels his discontent. Even jet, seeking nothing but aggravation, seems to be only fixated on Zuko and Iroh.
    There’s nothing wrong with living simply.

      @@illuminate8321 Except Jett and Zuko aren't even close to being THE ONLY two people who have had shitty pasts. Second Jett is NOWHERE NEAR as traumatized as Zuko. Jett had a normal loving family. Zuko was hated by his own father and constantly mentally abused and broken down by his sister AND father at every opportunity. The fact that you'd actually put them in the same boat, let alone compare them is just sad. Also Jett is EXACTLY like that spoiled ass kid from Star Wars: Rebels. That nephew of the Admiral who believed his team of children could outsmart Thrawn. The one that thought small rinky dinky as cruisers were Star Destroyers. Jett had an overinflated ego, plain and simple. Yes his parents were killed by Fire Benders, but so was Katara's mother and oh I don't know EVERY AIR BENDER. But Aang isn't a self absorbed egotistical asshole. And neither is Katara. Also Jett doesn't KNOW for a fact if there are Fire Benders "undercover" as you said. He just doesn't CARE. It's Fire Nation, so they're responsible by THAT logic alone. It didn't matter that it was a civilian settlement, Jett didn't care. Even Sokka didn't think Jett was thinking straight. Even tried to call him out on it but Jett ignored him and invented a story just to keep his boys in line.

    Yeah, It's a "trend" I guess, when displaying ring-style walled in cities that the Cities are actually scores of KM's apart from each other. Theoretically between the outer and inner wall there could be as much as 50 Miles in length. It allows for vast farm lands and even huge forest ranges within a City. I mean just look at the schematic for Paradis Island in Attack on Titan. It could take as much as a few days to walk the entire perimeter of the outer-most wall.

  • @3liW3lly
    @3liW3lly Рік тому +1

    Just an idea, but the walls of ba sing se can be compared to housing districts. Instead of walls, the federal, state, or local gov can block off poor people by making it almost impossible for them to ever financially afford to get out. Instead of cultural police brainwashing people, we have schools, phones. Then they add in drugs and other things that are easily addictive and almost all of the lower class never make it out of poverty and the middle class to true financial freedom. Or perhaps I’m just looking for an excuse as to why I don’t save more money. We may never know.
