** Cutting your hair with scissors (even if it's just your bangs) doesn't look as stylish as you'd expect. Fittingly, Azula tries to cut her bangs, but it only makes her look more [[VillainousBreakdown deranged]]. Also, the reason she cuts her own hair in the first place is that she's frustrated because she can't instantly make a perfect bun--as a princess, she's likely never done her own hair in her life, but by this point it looks like her banishment spree has taken out every single attendant. Turns out, your employees provide valuable services and getting rid of them all on the day of an important event is a bad idea.
** Despite his innate strength and talent, without the Avatar State, Aang is still a ''kid'', who only started learning how to bend anything but air ''this year''. Ozai, in contrast, has lots of experience and is amped up by the comet in the bargain. The first half of the fight thus goes about the way you'd expect a grown man trying to murder a child to go--Aang's stuck on the defensive, and after he doesn't take his chance to kill Ozai, he doesn't get another opening.

She fires people for trivial reasoning, such as firing a servant for finding a pit in a cherry she was eating (which the poor girl has no control over!) gets her exiled, as does the Dai Li after taking 5 minutes to arrive at Azula (though her concerns are more about treachery, as they were all traitors to the Earth King, so her reasoning is at least understandable). When she's trying to prepare herself for her coronation to become Fire Lord, she has a conversation with Ursa, which the later wide shot reveals that Ursa was never there.

** Cutting your hair with scissors (even if it's just your bangs) doesn't look as stylish as you'd expect. Fittingly, Azula tries to cut her bangs, but it only makes her look more [[VillainousBreakdown deranged]]. Also, the reason she cuts her own hair in the first place is that she's frustrated because she can't instantly make a perfect bun--as a princess, she's likely never done her own hair in her life, but by this point it looks like her banishment spree has taken out every single attendant. Turns out, your employees provide valuable services and getting rid of them all on the day of an important event is a bad idea.
** Despite his innate strength and talent, without the Avatar State, Aang is still a ''kid'', who only started learning how to bend anything but air ''this year''. Ozai, in contrast, has lots of experience and is amped up by the comet in the bargain. The first half of the fight thus goes about the way you'd expect a grown man trying to murder a child to go--Aang's stuck on the defensive, and after he doesn't take his chance to kill Ozai, he doesn't get another opening.
