best girl indeed, reminder she also did nothing wrong and just missunderstood.

She did a lot of wrong but yeah, she didn't do much bad stuff if you take into account they are at war, same for Zuko
I always found it weird how people so easily just...accept Iroh's word that Azula is a lost cause when Season 3 proved that to be a lie. Clearly she wasn't. She was raised from birth as a puppet for her dad while Zuko was raised as the failure. Of course that's gonna fuck with someone.
And Iroh spent all this time dedicating to redeeming Zuko that he never once though to do the same to Azula. It's why I always find the martyrdom and blind love that Iroh gets just...disturbing. Dude DID redeem himself with a lifetime of spirit-loving and helping the world, but he completely disregarded half of his family just because his evil brother was too close to his mentally fucked-up niece.
I think Iroh's main mistake was thinking that because HE couldn't save Azula, it was impossible but it's clear that Ursa and Zuko could do it, it was just needed to get Ozai out of the way first.
Ozai wouldn't have hesitated to kill Iroh if he tried to go for Azula instead of Zuko IMO, unless we imagine that he would have switched his attention from Azula to Zuko out of spite.
That and Iroh tried way too much to play people, like he did with Zuko, he has 'chronic puppet master disorder', even if he is doing it with the best intention, he still played Zuko like a fiddle for 3 years, risking Zuko and the crew's life.
