I *love* stories where the younger generation has to fix the mistakes of the old--without being perfect themselves, of course. I think the show really proved they were onto this when they had Zuko not switch sides in CoD. Iroh couldn't guide him to the right side, he had to get what he wanted and understand himself why it was wrong. But at the same time there are awesome older people, so it's not like they're stupid. I can believe that Mai and Zuko are both going to be awesome old people together. (And it will be hilarious.)
