Throughout Book 1 , Zhao proves himself to be a sassy superior general and among the most sinewy firebenders , thus show himself as a scourge . Yet despite all that , there ’s nothing all that memorable about Zhao personality - wise besides being the baddie of the week in Book 1 . Zhao ’s ultimate goal is to chance upon nimbus , even if it mean bruise the Fire Nation in the appendage by killing the Moon Spirit , but why is he so hellbent on that is a enigma . want the glory is intelligible , but it ’s also kind of savourless .

Long Feng (Will Likely Be Cast For Season 2)

While being a powerful earthbender , Long Feng is a scourge because of how good he is at controlling everything and everyone . But once Azula bests him , he never come out again . WhileAvatar : The Last Airbender ’s focus was stopping Azula and Ozai from that point onward , it ’s rather anticlimactical that Long Feng only gets a simple mentionafter Book 2 .
The original Avatar : The Last Airbender was broken into three books , but it is n’t clear if the unrecorded - action Netflix show will follow the same beat .
The live - action reboot could finally turn over into what materialize to him after being use up down . Perhaps he was exiled after the Fire Nation took over the Earth Kingdom . Azula may have ensured he was locked up with extra security , making sure could n’t control his fashion out of prison house the same agency he manipulated the Earth King for as long as he did . Maybe Long Feng was executed , or maybe he escaped . Whatever the case , Long Feng deserves the closure in the live - legal action reboot that he did not get in the original series .

When the Fire Nation successfully took over , the crew revealed that the Earth King and his pet regular bear , Bosco , had leave to travel overseas now that he was no longer in power . After that , he never gets mentioned again .
Naturally , it was n’t his fault that it ferment out his most trusted consultant had been abusing his power for year . However , it is somewhat sad that it was never roll in the hay if the Earth King got his spot back on the throne , even if he was n’t the best drawing card . Hopefully , the live - actionAvatar : The Last Airbendercan have him take his kingdom back , delve more into what he learned after traveling the domain , and , if potential , show how he ’s learned from his misapprehension . This would likely only happen in season 2 , though , assuming season 1 will focus on the events ofBook I.
