^^ Actually, in chinese culture any elder is refered to as "Uncle" or "Aunt". I didnt do any studies but Im both Asian and Malaysian as my handle here implies. I certainly agree that it was a nostalgic moment but just not one that I think General Iroh would have had in character strictly speaking. Here is a well respected elder, a childhood friend of his grandfather and the Avatar who has since passed on making him even more revered in accordance with asian culture (remember how Aang bowed to Gyatso's statue or how Iroh made that small altar/shrine for his son on the annivesary of his son's birthday) and this is Avatar Aang's actual statue on Aang Memorial Island . Under all these circumstances, General Iroh the grandson of Firelord Honor himself would have atleast refered to Aang as "Avatar Aang" (as his own youngest son, Tenzin, had) or "Uncle Aang" and never just "Aang".

Ah, sorry, that's my fumble. I meant to say, "someone who could be a family friend" in the sense that it's an elder who isn't your boss or teacher. But like I said, this could be just a moment people have overanalyzed in terms of what Iroh 2.0 actually was saying.

Edit: Now that I think about it...if he were a competitor with Mako, that'd be kinda funny. Mako vs. Iroh. Haha, ha, ha...ha. mako wouldn't stand a chance xD
