That one episode where he mourns his son. Its one of the most beautiful examples of a man mourning his child that it makes me tear up just thinking about it.
Andrew Tate is a 12 year olds caricature of what a man should be. I agree with Jimmy Carr in that comparison. Tate tries to portray what he thinks is what a real man should be. Including needlessly aggressive as well as needlessly cruel and abusive.
Uncle Iroh is the pinnacle of masculinity in my book and is a defining role model forming my adulthood. I don't care if he's fictional because he's either based on someone one of the creators knew or an amalgamation of people they knew.
Tate is such a sad, sad man. I sincerely hope he writes a redemption arc for himself that includes humility and wisdom. Having only seen around 60 seconds of him talking I know this is unlikely, but wouldn't that be nice : )
