@Letta_Letta: Although he is the personification of all the best, he is just a human being. So this embarrassing moment clearly showed it. Plus, it was a test of his friendship with Soka and Katara.
@Kroze: Besides, there is also a child, so it's not surprising at all. I am amazed at most of his wise actions further. Something from the category: "Damn, and I ate sand at the age of 12."
@noonenoonenoone: Plus sign. So I suppose it was about death, because quite often such wise elderly people expect this moment, treating it as a long-awaited event, not because they can no longer bear to live because of some disadvantages of old age or something like that, but because of their attitude to death in general. Death is an inevitable part of the life cycle of all living things, and people like General Ayrault feel this much more strongly already in old age, because they have already traveled quite a long way and a lot of experience behind them, so the logical conclusion of this long journey is death. Such people spend the rest of their lives in banal enjoyment of it, which is why General Ayrault often always remains calm throughout the cartoon in almost any situation. And the scenes of his interaction with Zuko are generally my favorite moments, he has been replacing his father since childhood, giving him everything that parents should give to their children. In general, a wonderful character with:
So, I was a little distracted from the interpretation of this phrase in the context of death. It is a surprise only because a person never knows when he will die, because life is often an unpredictable, mysterious thing. And General Ayrault wished to remain this very mystery to her only because this way it becomes much more interesting, because then what is the point of living this life if you know in advance when and at what point it will end. And, as it still seems to me, this phrase was not uttered in vain by the very same fortune-teller, it seemed to refer us to the last series, the moral of which was also that you should not blindly believe all the predictions and chase them. Damn it, what a wonderful cartoon after all.
I already wanted to be a little disappointed in Sokka, since Aang, of course, did not act very nicely, but, nevertheless, told them the truth about the map, but then Sokka abruptly turned around and said that he would not leave Aang. After that phrase, I liked him even more as a character. When watching Sokka as a child, I didn't really like him because of his behavior, but now, at a more conscious age, I see what a smart character this is. Yes, he has his drawbacks, but he really will just tear up anyone for his own, and his intellect is very developed. He will always find a way out.
My soul was rooting for Aang in the series (I imagine how painful it was for him that the people closest to him could leave him now. And how wonderful it is that they stayed together!
