I'll never understand people who disapprove of humanizing Ozai. 'Legend of Korra' had its' flaws but where it undoubtedly surpassed ATLA is its' villains. Complex characters who I may be not rooting for but certainly understand them.
The Live-Action Avatar attempted to dive into fire nation's psyche with Iroh explaining to Aang why are they fighting this war and what drives them. Ozai is no longer a cartoonish one dimensional villain. He's a leader of an aggressive nation who wants to finish what his father and grandfather started. That's why he's pushing his kids hard, this war was fought for 100 years and there are no guarantees Ozai would live long enough to ensure victory. That's why his heir needs to be strong. Speaking of which. Him caring about Zuko, acknowledging his accomplishments is another good addition to the story. In the original, it makes zero sense why Zuko even wanted to comeback and win the approval of someone who clearly hated him and didn't even hide. Here however, Ozai makes it clear that he cares about his son in his own twisted way. He wants him to be ruthless, competent in military strategy and ready to be his heir. That change will also help us emphasize with Aang more when book 3 rolls around. In the original, it's very hard to support Aang in his obsession with not killing when Ozai is clearly an irredeemable monster. This time, his humanity will be a valid point for Aang whose attempts to reason with Fire Lord in the animated show seemed hilariously naive.

It's so amazing that in this series Zuko was fighting with his father after all. This is the very moment from the dresser, the scene in the movie is shown better than in the series. After all, in fact, in the original animated series, Zuko never began to fight with the lord of fire.
Both versions show the great tragedy between father and son, but more importantly, in the series, the Lord of Fire sent 41 troops along with Zuko.
the very squad he stood up for and partly got his scar because of. Even more dramatic is the fact that 41 did not respect his prince at the beginning. A prince who sacrificed everything for them, including his honor.
How painful it must have been for him to realize that those for whom he fought considered him a spoiled, hysterical and jealous child! Such a strong scene!

Ozai and Zuko's relationship summarized in three words "Get good grades" and I do find Ozai smiling with great pride that Zuko ACTUALLY did the assignment on his own.
Ozai: Bring me the Avatar and your place in the throne can be discussed from that point onwards.
Translated into the Asian Dad language: Bring me more A+ scores when you get home and let's see if you are worthy to graduate.

Daniel Dae Kim is fantastic Ozai. More cold-blooded and calculating, more manipulative even for his own family, more dark and sociopathic. I belive in this Fire Lord.
