@welovetheavatar@Fracisc0LuB0Ta Zuko is capable of bending lightning. He's one of the few characters in ATLA who can. He just can't generate it.
He learns how to bend lightning from his uncle, another royal.
It's not crazy to think poweful techniques might only be taught to those in the royal family.
@welovetheavatar@Fracisc0LuB0Ta They aren't as inbred as the Targaryens, but they almost certainly care about bloodlines.
It's not a coincidence that Ozai married Ursa, whose father was effectively a lord and whose grandfather was the Avatar.
Zuko also ended up with the daughter of a nobleman.
@zahinsays@Oreos_Solo1@RhaenyraTruther A granddaughter of a lord typically has a stronger claim than a brother. In most cases, all of a lord's descendants, male or female, need to be considered before his other relatives. We see this with Jeyne Arryn, who inherited over her male cousins.
Also, Vaemond is a corpse.
@cedric_naughtyy@nonregemesse@Godfather0fX In House of the Dragon, Jeyne Arryn is Lady of the Vale in her own right. Her father and brothers died, leaving her to inherit. She has male cousins over whom she succeeded.
It isn't strictly based on sex. A daughter inherits before a nephew unless women are excluded entirely.
@cedric_naughtyy@nonregemesse@Godfather0fX Robert Arryn is the Lord of the Vale. He inherited the title from his father, Jon Arryn. Because he is a minor, a regent was chosen to act on his behalf until he comes of age. First this was his mother, Lysa, then his stepfather, Littlefinger.
@Mamhzer@ofclmayaclaire@Timmay1kc@Driftwooddraw@LarrietDarling You assume that someone who disagrees with you on one subject must disagree with you on all subjects.
Ethan Klein has shown himself to be a virulent Zionist, and a defender and advocate of genocide. I do not support him or his fans.
But I also do not support AI.
@FaceLikeFlint66@22toGod@carroll_darian@elonmusk Hey Mike, if this is true, why doesn't everyone come "legally, with honor"? Is it possible that maybe we don't welcome everyone with open arms?
