Why is she so useless?

Women are generally useless

Your mom was quite useful to me.

everyone knows the fire nation is essentially japan and the events of the last airbender represent the militarism of japan in the early to mid 20th century. After WW2 japan was and has been butchered in terms of military power and cannot engage in military acts outside of self defense. Thats what is represented in LOK where the fire nation (japan) cannot act aggressively or militarily.

Remind me how she was useless

The only reason Japan is toothless is because they're a Superpower's bitch.

The Fire Nation didn't stop taking over the world because they got their shit pushed in, they did it because the Avatar launched a coup and installed his own puppet as Fire Lord.

Geopolitically the Fire Nation is closer to the USA or Russia than Japan.

Apparently, every background character needs tons of screen time and a fleshed out personality.

Because her and Iroh 2 were just there for mild continuity wank ie "look what Zuko's sperm did" not meant to actually do anything. When it came to actually doing anything they'd rather have Zuko than his descendants.

I don't know but she had really nice-looking hands.

Why the fuck is she wearing glasses?

Ouch

She didn't want the Fire Nation to get involved in the conflict. Plus, Raiko and Suyin only have themselves to blame for the mess that was Season 4. LOK didn't need a Metal Ayn Rand

That's what she said.............. at first.

Avatar didn't need LoK.
