But that is not a surprise. We knew that. The fact is though he still trained, still was prepared to face the fire lord. The fact that he chose love over power is very human. And very Aang. And i liked that they gave him that flaw (although i dont necessarily see it as one). Kept him from being some child superbeing with no dilemmas.

Eh to me Aang saved the world.

...and Zuko saved Katara. You said, how the hell are you going to see what she could possibly like about Zuko who she hated for 90% of the series? How can we not? He selflessly saved her life.

My point is that Aang wasn't selfless. Selflessness is sacrifice. You could say Aang 'sacrificed' by going to go face Ozai, but he was supposed to do that from the very start. That was his duty, his obligation as Avatar. To sacrifice is to give up something that you hadn't planned on...knowing that you may or may not get it back. It's the very definition of what selflessness is.

No it isn't. "Sacrifice" is giving up something very important to you with the knowledge that you will never get it back. Whether that's planned or not is irrelevant.

Zuko was being a cocky. And he was stupid. He assumed his sister was off her game. He thought she would shoot the lightning at him, but he miscalculated. He put Katara in that position. That book even has Katara concerned over his behavior. "Don't get cocky."

And if we are talking about selflessness, then Mai is a good example. And her act of saving Zuko gets shit on.

Dear God this. It really does take true selflessness to save the jerk who dumped you with a text message, knowing odds are he won't give two paltry shits about it (and she was right; he didn't).
