Why wasn't he caged in the Boiling Rock? He was the second

>All these avatar threas lately
I really gotta re watch this show once the semester is over

>>91226173
It's more secure to put him in a place where he can still use his firebending to break out and then use regular non-firebending skills to continue his escape once everyone else can no longer use their firebending.

>>91226173
>Why not put the strongest military leader with tons of other firebenders who have a reason to rebel

Because he is a formidable ally alone guarded by 10+ guards alone, but placing him with tons of others would be inviting trouble

>>91226300
This.

If Zuko hadn't told him the Avatar was still alive and that he was conflicted where he was the isolation would have broke him.

>>91226173
Rocket flight was cannon and known amongst fire-bending masters before Iroh's time. it's not a serious stretch of the imagination for a fire-bending master to employ that technique to leave relatively unopposed.

>>91226173
Because plot. Seriously, Book 3 was shit.

You got sauce on that?
>>91226856
Did you ever consider that Ty Lee wasn't imprisoned at the boiling rock and that her and Mei were just put in some other jail? Recall that only Suki, the leader, was kept at the Boiling Rock. The fire nation made an effort to separate the leaders and their groups.

>>91226996
Of course I considered that, what do you think my fanwank on that subject is? It's still a retarded plothole that shows just how little the writers cared by the end of the show. "Just make it awesome!"

>>91226173
He's the rightful Firelord, and a great fucking dude.

Imagine putting a naturally charismatic, extremely popular leader of men into a prison full of political dissidents. He'd be leading an army in rebellion within a week.

I don't understand what the plothole is. If I'm missing something here enlighten me.

This right here, hell he even had the one female guard on his side before he escaped

>>91227129
anything you need fanwank for is a plothole anon

>>91226300
This and This. Guy managed to turn guards to his side easy, then solo an entire prison full of guards without firebending.

He would've basically broken everyone in the rock out by the end of the month, and that's including the guards who he talked into not being evil fuckheads.

webm has caused me more problems on 4chan than probably anything else - and that's using different browsers.

>>91231432
well start using GOOD browsers then

>>91226173
They all thought he was a harmless, fat, old has been like that one guard did.

>>91231593
Nobody uses webm outside 4chan. Therefore, nobody bothers to support it properly.

He's still part of the royal family. Fire Nation citizens probably wouldn't take kindly to the idea that he is thrown into a prison with a bunch of common criminals.

>>91232655
>Iron helps all the criminals work through their personal issues and become productive forces of good in the prison

also he pretended to be a literal retard because his defeat.

>>91232872
Lolno

This was a sufficient point already: >>91226300

Iroh would be running the place in a week or less. His natural leadership and ability to deal with people on an individual basis would have everyone, including the guards, singing along and playing games in the yard.

>>91234288
My point is still valid. It is likely that that prison is for prisoners of a higher status. It also keeps Iroh within the capital city, which Ozai would probably prefer.

nthing that Iroh's charisma made him a risky prisoner outside of solitary, but he's also the brother of the Firelord, so he's a political prisoner who they probably wanted to keep in the palace. Even though he wasn't exactly living in comfort and was confined to a room rather than basically free to roam the palace under heavy guard, he was still treated reasonably well.

>>91231432
i'm sorry your computer is a piece of shit, but that doesn't mean you can badmouth a superior media format.

>>91232872
This, you fucking retarded plebs who don't understand how monarchies work. You know the best way to destroy the power of a crown? Start acting like it means nothing. You don't throw someone like that in a horrible prison like The Boiling Rock, with the most undesirable criminals in the nation.
