It has been a week since Avatar: The Last Airbender live-action series premiered. The fans had mixed feelings about the series, especially after the last live-action film failed horribly. But with the rising popularity of live-action series, there was hope that Netflix would bring out the best. Fortunately, everyone loved the series, and it is fair to say that people have no more doubts.
After becoming popular worldwide, the cast of Avatar: The Last Airbender has been going around and doing interviews and questionnaires. During one such questionnaire, Fire Prince Zuko actor Dallas James Liu mentioned one character who would always be one step ahead of Zuko. The mentioned character is Uncle Iroh. There is no way Zuko could defeat him since he is too powerful.
Dallas James Liu Is Full of Praise For Uncle Iroh
The cast of Avatar: The Last Airbender had a session questionnaire hosted by WIRED. Gordon Cormier, Kiawentiio Tarbel, Ian Ousley, Dallas James Liu, and Elizabeth Yu were present during the questionnaire. During the session, Dallas James Lee was asked who would be victorious in a fight between Uncle Iroh and Zuko. The Zuko actor accepted his defeat and mentioned he was too powerful for him.
Liu said, “I am saying Zuko gets walked down by Iroh. I’m gonna be honest. You see like the chains, he’s the Dragon of the West. He’s part of some secret society later on. Like even though Zuko progresses as a Firebender throughout the series, he’s still not strong enough, unfortunately.” It is clear that Liu never had a doubt about Iroh and respects him since the series has shown him to be more sympathetic to Zuko than Fire Lord Ozai.
Even his colleagues supported his answer. They agreed Iroh is a Dragon of the West and is a well-versed Firebender. Apart from that, he is experiencing, and few could come close to him. It is great to see that there is much respect between the two characters even though they have different ideals and battles going on inside them.
Avatar: The Last Airbender Is A Massive Success
