Read at your own risk. Sorry to make a new post for this, but I have a truckload to say and wish to have a discussion about a single subject.

yes. yes a thousand times. I said it before -- the universe hates Zuko. It's not just going to hand him some sweet little girl who throws herself at him 'cause he's hot. (which we have to face the unfortunate truth -- Zuko's hot, but it's not like he's really going to sell well with the scar and the "LEAVE ME ALONE" attitude)

and I don't see the Dai-lee just completely ignoring Jet's crazy rantings. I just can't. :x

this also reminds me of the fact that random soldiers back near Omashu recognized Iroh, yet he's in Ba Sing Se? Like they don't know he's there.

Ooh! That's a great point. PLOT HOLE!!!

I was thinking of making a post about this a coupla days ago, but there isn't much to discuss. I might anyway, but yeah. They have eyes like the Fire Nation, they really stick out...

I've also wondered why they haven't figured out Zuko and Iroh are fire nation yet. I mean, it's obvious that they don't have the same eye color as a citizen of the Earth Kingdom. But maybe, when the refugee's villages were destroyed, they weren't able to see their faces, since they do have those protective masks on.

Not to mention, there are wanted posters of the two and no hair cut is going to hide Zuko's scar.

I would like it if the theory was true, would make Jin actually interesting. Right now she's kinda boring (no backstory whatsoever).

Well, there's wanted posters outside Ba Sing Se.

I've always thought that the reason Iroh and Zuko didn't make more effort to hide Zuko's scar is because no one in Ba Sing Se has seen the wanted posters. The people of BSS know very little about the war outside, and even if they knew a Fire Nation prince was behind hunted, they might not know what he looks like at all.

[katalyst]

now that, I hadn't thought about, but you're SO right. OH jesus.

[bibly]

The thing is, no one in Ba Sing Se speaks of the war, so for all we know, anyone inside who actually knows of the war doesn't know what Iroh actually looks like. Or they know so little of it that they wouldn't recognize him. Also, since no one speaks of it because of the potential danger that could come of mentioning it (like the whole brain washing thing), maybe people recognize him, but don't dare say anything because of the fear of something happening to themselves. :O
