all those things were despised when tpm was released
Its not about the reaction when it was released though, its about the reaction from today's chudcels
and are these "chudcels" in the room with you right now?
Except Anakin had plenty of flaws and failings.
This.
Anakin is perhaps the MOST flawed character in all of Star Wars. That’s why he’s iconic. Rey is corporate trash cooked up by affirmative action hires using excel spreadsheets. She’s as enjoyable as a stubbed toe
For the love of God have sex
Now this isn’t bait. This anon right here, this anon here, right here chuds, this anon right here gardens uphill and avoids mirrors.
And they fixed the issues and made him likeable or at least relatable in episodes 2 and 3. Kids loved Anakin, I was one of them and he was cool.
Who likes star wars nowadays? It's a dead franchise.
>Who likes star wars nowadays? It's a dead franchise.
Its bigger than it ever was, chud. If you ever left the house you'd see normies in baby Yoda shirts everywhere.
>Its bigger than it ever was, chud
No, no it isn’t.
>Kids loved Anakin, I was one of them and he was cool.
Anakin wasn't remotely cool. He was a screeching moron constantly losing control of his emotions and acting like a moron. I don't think he does a single cool thing in the entire 2nd and 3r episodes. Well. Jumping out of the window was cool. Can't think of anything else.
>He was a screeching moron constantly losing control of his emotions and acting like a moron
Anon. How old are you exactly? I have the impression you don't remember how angsty adolescents were all the rage in the early 2000s.
Fricking Linkin Park. Sasuke from Naruto. The edginess of Death Note and Code Geass.
Anakin fits right into all that.
>Kids loved Anakin
Imagine being this dishonest
Anakin sold 50x as many toys as Rey did. He was incredibly popular with kids in the early 2000s. He wasn’t quite as popular as Luke obviously (nobody is) , but his character was designed to be darker and that makes him a bit harder to sell to kids
>likeable or at least relatable in episodes 2 and 3.
kek
>Kids loved Anakin
>posts manchildren
>Seethes
he is literally Vader you fricking moron. His failures and downfall are already well established you stupid homosexual
I am a certified chud and everything after Empire is trash
I'm not even remotely a chud, and yeah the franchise starts to stink about a third of the way through RotJ.
No the franchise starts to stink right here
Nah, everything past Tatooine and Jabba in RotJ is purest trash.
The scenes with the emperor are the peak of SW.
They are ok, but they are interspersed with an obnoxious, overwrought space battle and pure cringe Ewok battles.
This.
The chess match between Luke, Vader, and Palpatine is absolute peak Star Wars. On these scenes alone, ROTJ is a classic
Luke's storyline is good. Everything that happens on Endor is pretty dumb.
>An entire legion of my best troops awaits them
>Meanwhile stormtroopers are dying from being hit with pebbles
Most people like the prequels IN SPITE of those plot points rather than because of them. All those things in the list are still widely disliked, even by prequel fans. Also the entire point of Anakin is how he ends, and it's certainly not flawless.
Woketoid SJWs hate the sequels too. Only contrarians like them at this point.
Both of these trilogies fricking suck and as pointed contrary to the prequelgay narrative people shat all over the prequels for being poorly written.
>contrary to the prequelgay narrative
so you admit that there are people now who love the prequels and hence react to them in the way OP's wojak does?
op wasn't alive when the pt was new
Anakin was a a deeply flawed angsty sperg who threw temper tantrums and fricked up constantly (like when he got heemed by dooku). Rey had no significant flaws or failings.
also like this guy points out everyone thought that was dumb at first
>everyone thought that was dumb at first
They still do.
I hated the whole idea of him building C3PO and already being a skillful pilot, but he's not a Gary Stu
Obi Wan says line for line that he was already a skilled pilot in the first movie that came out in 1977.
find literally one (1) example of someone reacting that way to the first three. protip: you can't
I'll bite
Mary sue and gary stue are different things
Anna Kim beat inbred sub-sapient aliens at pod racing not Han Solo
>cringe but also doesn’t have anything to do with the character
>C-3PO isn’t a particularly advanced robot, might as well be the equivalent of a kid building a Lego for adults in their universe. Not particularly plot relevant either.
>He’s a known and up and coming Pod Racer prodigy and that is established before he needs to Pod Race, wins by dumb luck basically
Compared to
>”How are we gonna get out of this one gang?!”
>”Don’t worry Han Solo, I did this thing and now we’re safe!”
>isn’t a particularly advanced robot
yeah he is just sentient and speaks 6 million languages, every child could create that
I assume he just found a usb drive with the language packs. He didn’t build it from scratch.
I assume Rey found a "how to bypass the compressor" manual which she studied every day of her life
Well the movie should’ve shown us that she reads compresser bypass manuals like they showed us Annakin scavenging junk.
show me the scene where she read one of those Manuel
Well she does live as a scavenger her whole life and part of her being successful would be knowing which part is which in order to get the most value out of her time scavenging and knowing which parts are important/rare/ their function in order to get the most profit. The movie still sucks but obviously the bigger plot hole is her beating Kylo Ren on her first try with little effort and no (real) outside help.
BUT obi wan beat an uninjired darth maul (no high ground either) so looks to me like all these movies are shite
Maul apparently thought that Obi Wan lost his lightsaber for good and that Obi Wan can't escape and lost his guard. Meanwhile Rey just closed her eyes whole having lightsabers crossed with Kylo Ren while he was just standing there like a moron. In TFM there was at least some rationale behind what happened.
Obi wan was trained by a Jedi master. Besides, the scavenger excuse is the “Sayid can disarm nukes because he’s a radar technician” of SW.
It’s like that one player at the D&D session that goes
>ACHshully my character has knowledge of this room in the ancient ruins because of their background as a tinkerer
>DM imma role to solve this puzzle instantly k?
sounds like a bored DM
>Well she does live as a scavenger her whole life and part of her being successful would be knowing which part is which in order to get the most value out of her time scavenging and knowing which parts are important/rare/ their function in order to get the most profit.
How much is Disney paying you?
Not enough brother keep the you's coming my kids gotta eat
anakin's the bad guy
something something anakin kid actor something something tried to an hero
Why can’t Cinemaphileumblr go five minutes without sucking Disney dick on Cinemaphile?
The prequels were written by the original creator and the "amazing" things involved an existing character. The Mary Sue is because she's an entirely new, fanfiction-tier character not created by the primary force behind the originals, and was first and foremost meant to pander to women
>the primary force behind the originals
lmao
GL had very little creative input into the OT, he mainly just forced the real creative people to insert more dumb toys.
But even as a child, Anakin had a personality. He was kind and generous, but also tended sad and had an angry streak thanks to the massive chip on his shoulder. That’s interesting. Rey meanwhile is sunny perfection (outside of a few cringe moments out of nowhere in TRoS that pretend she had an evil core the whole time).
>It's different because... it just is okay!
Keep coping. Anakin was a much bigger "mary sue" than Rey ever was.
>It's different because... it just is okay!
This but unironically
anakin was a villain. idiot. at least use luke in your disingenuous sophistry.
Mary Sue does not mean powerful. Mary Sue means characterless perfection
They know that, anon.
The point is to water down the term and turn it into
>competent = mary sue
which has the dual benefit of letting them shit on male characters for it.
Personally I blame brainlets letting them get their foot in the door by saying rey's hyper competence made her a mary sue, when that was the least of her problems.
Anakin was the bad guy
There was an explanation as to why he was so powerful where as Rey had no excuse
no one liked the C3PO part
I mean Rey is Palpatine's grand daughter, it's just we learn this at the end rather than the middle of the story.
The explanation for why Anakin was so powerful (he was literally Jesus) came 16 years after the original trilogy ended
And?
The Skywalkers are canonically TWICE as powerful as the Palpatines, and even though hey had to train for years.
There is no explanation for Rey’s bullshit. Absolutely none. She’s a trash character that is rightly despised
>>The Skywalkers
>the Palpatines
I'm not really sure where you are putting Rey. She's a skywalker too
No one cares about Rey enough to despise her.
She's just a boring uninteresting lump of shit.
how your prostitutes acting career going after this? ahahahahahahahahahaha
Low blow. None of the Skywalker actors had a career after Star Wars.
>The Sequel era is all but abandoned
>Literally the entire Disney showverse revolves around the Prequel era Clone Wars show
>None of the actors from The Sequels ever wanna touch Star Wars again, guaranteeing it stays dead
Respond? We don't have to
It's especially hilarious when you remember the
>at least we're not Lucas!
marketing that was everywhere in the early buyout phase
I don't remember that because it didn't happen.
wrong again, stalker
The first words of TFA were “this will begin to make things right.”
>how do we respond?
/ourguy/ suffered plentily.
Those first 3 are not examples of Mary Sue and nobody reacted to them like that.
Didn't Anakin refurbish 3P0 after finding him junked?
He didn't built him on his own, he's just fixing him up one piece at a time.
SHHHHHHHHHH... You'll wake the OT boomers out of their midday nap. Let them have their delusions while the rest of us get to enjoy kino.
Yeah, as long as we're making shit up, Anakin bought 3po refurbished from gamestop for a jar of eopie farts
Stop making fun of the prequels, it made complete sense if you read Anakin: Path of the Jedi (2004). In the book Watto makes Anakin ferry parts between Mos Eisley and to Watto's friend Grung Horgart in the city of Bestine. One day Anakin comes upon the droid pieces which would eventually be C3P0. Anakin wanted to keep them but Grung wouldn't let him keep them. In response Anakin used the force for the first time and accidentally used a jedi mind trick on Grung.
Well C3PO is a consumer model droid, of a type that exists all over that universe. so it's clear when they say Anakin "built" him, it means he assembled him, not that he invented him.
I built my computer. I didn’t solder or design anything, I just ordered the parts online and plugged the pieces together, but it’s still called building a PC. Anakin could easily correctly say he built C3PO while meaning he found bits of the droid in the scrapheap and just reassembled them, he still got it a bit wrong as he forgot to turn the droids vision on.
We hated it then, we hate it now. But there are degrees. Anakin being the Chosen One was an an intentional 'Mary Sue' and a good example of Subverted Expectations (even tho we knew he was going to turn into Vader). If he had just been a teenager instead of a little kid everything would have been better.
Rey was pure cringe.
Women suck so bad they ruin everything and just complain and b***h nonstop. Why can't they just be cute and fun and submissive
Every single defense about every single aspect of the sequel trilogy is basically "YOU CAN'T SAY THIS ABOUT x BECAUSE y EXISTS!" But sequelgays can't actually provide a legitimate logical argument as to why the sequels are good.
rey
>knows fricking everyone for no reason
anakin
>lets try spinning wahoooo
Was there ever an explanation for why his shadow was already that of Darth Vader? Predestination or something?
Kino visual storytelling. The prequels have some gems scattered around inside them.
Yeah but I mean is there an in-universe explanation?
There's probably some 4 page wookiepedia article on this.
So I guess we're just gonna forget people b***hing about prequels for an eternity. The only reason people stopped beating it cuz sequels came out
>"people" b***hing about prequels for an eternity
ftfy
It never happened and there's nothing you can say or do that will change that.
He's trying to claim that's revisionist history, which is staggeringly ironic.
If you weren't aware, OP is the resident nuwars white knight that has been, for around 5 years now, desperately trying to deflect criticism of the ST onto the OT/PT.
As
points out this is funny enough in and of itself, since he's not aware that lowering the bar just makes him look like a colossal moron for being so obsessed with a series that, judging by his own words and actions, he believes is shit.
How is it that I'm lowering the bar when by your own logic, trying to make the sequels look better by comparing it to the prequels is in and of itself actually lowering the bar?
>trying to make the sequels look better
You're not.
You're only muddying everything else in an attempt to bring everything down to the level of the sequels, in an attempt to blunt criticism by proxy.
The fact that you've failed miserably every time doesn't change this.
>you can't mention that we worshipped the prequels every day for the past eight years! you just can't do that, OKAY???
Leave Patrick Tomlinson out of this.
He has enough problems
This is not Patrick Tomlinson, chud. This is one of your delusions again.
yes, child, it is.
I'm so sorry you're stupid
I am not Patrick, stalker. Enjoy prison.
Anakin actually had bad things happen to him, he had to prove himself to people, overcome bullshit in his life.
Rey just existed.
You Disney sissies aren't ready for the chudmog.
By the end of the trilogy Anakin was chopped to a stump, burned alive, and made a b***h to Palpy. People would probably have a different opinion of the sequels if they went down that route.
Both fricking suck, just in different ways
This meme points out its own flaw - Anakin was a prophesized messiah.
Rey was:
>TFA - a random scavenger girl
>TFA novelization - someone whom Kylo Ren knew of, and recognized when he saw her
>TLJ - a nobody
>ROS - Palpatine's daughter/granddaughter
>Anakin was a prophesized messiah.
That is itself introduced in TPM and hence part of what makes him a Mary Sue. Anakin was never jesus in the OT.
Anakin was:
>SW - Luke Skywalker's father, a Jedi killed by Darth Vader
>ESB - Darth Vader
>ESB - Darth Vader
>TPM - LE ROOTIN' TOOTIN' SPECIAL CHOSEN ONE PROPHESIZED TO SAVE THE UNIVERSE!!
He was Vader by that point & kept alive in excruciating pain by a custom built suit & yet by far was the best duelist in OT. Anakin being the chosen one gives a lot of context to why Vader even crippled is insanely powerful.
>the OT only makes sense if Vader is ackchually Jesus!!!
the cope... its getting too insane, sweatie
Anakin was a good character, keep seething sequelcel
>Anakin being the chosen one gives a lot of context to why Vader even crippled is insanely powerful.
Not really? The sample size in the OT is quite small.
And yet grievous exist.
>the prequels are shit
Yes we know. That doesn't excuse her from using advanced force abilities hours after learning the force even exists.
the prequels are way worse than nu-wars
the only reason you'd disagree is because you were 5 when you saw the prequels and you have fond nostalgic memories of it OR you are so completly brainwashed by the culture war you havent had an original thought since Trump was elected
Seethe, you midwit testolet.
oh did i strike nerve? man, you totally free-thinking npcs are something else
The prequels suck and there's nothing right wing about them, unless you think a mostly white cast in 1999 is right wing
Imagine not getting it.
Imagine not getting that George Lucas is a libtard.
Imagine thinking that matters.
>imagine thinking context matters
solipsism
You're a total midwit and low-T. I can tell.
this is how you get off, isn't it? gross
>mfw dysgenic anon makes another chud thread
because it's about the rise and fall of somebody with a lot of potential
a basic narrative found in millions of stories
Chudcels hate the prequels. Chudcels have always hated the prequels. Since the beginning of your life, since the beginning of pol, since the beginning of history, chud have been continuously shitting on the prequel trilogy without a break.
please have sex, I'm begging you
I'm so confused who chud even is at this point. Is he a millennial?
a chud is basically anyone a zoomer dislikes
Just someone that's based. It's a compliment
What alternate dimension did OP step out from where people actually liked Anakin?
Always remember that anyone who watches and cares about Star Wars needs to be culled of the Earth for the human race to collectively reach nirvana. Their lives are a burden on themselves and those around them and destroying them is the only way forward.
Kek. Always remember this anon is a mommy issues ridden little b***h boy who will never achieve anything in his life. Cry harder, mommygay, we keep enjoying Star Wars kino.
>prequelcel gets BTFO so hard that he has to pretend that he acktchually hates Star Wars
sad
That's different, because we already knew Anakin's tragic future. If Anakin never turned to the dark side and that was all we had of him, he would have been a shit character just like Rey is
The whole point of Vader's story is that despite all those abilities and being chosen by destiny, he still falls to the dark side because of his weakness and insecurities. What are Rey's weaknesses? Do they ever matter?
>weakness and insecurities
Your version of Good is a fallacy. Order 66 was justified and the Dark Side was right all along.
Anakin's godhood is established from the get go so his accomplishments in Phantom Menace at least have an explanation. More importantly, he gets owned in AotC, despite having had a decade's worth of training. The problem with Rey was that she was able to perform a jedi mind trick without having no understanding of the force whatsoever. Then she went on to defeat Anakin's grandchild who had years of training in a lightsaber duel, in the first time she held a lightsaber.
>Anakin's godhood is established from the get go
No, chud, Anakin was not a god in the OT. This is an awful retcon by the hack George Lucas that you defend.
You:
>chud
Anyone who disagrees with you about bad corporate toy commercials is “right wing” and “evil” and a “loser”
>Anakin sucks and his story sucks
The notion that the Saga of Darth Vader sucks, and the lore around him is “bad” is what you’ve been pushing for years here. No one is ever going to agree with you
>George Lucas is a hack and an idiot
Nah. He’s a self made billionaire who created some of the most iconic characters and movies in the history of the planet. Not everything he did was perfect, but his work stands the test of time.
So, it’s clear you hate the fans, hate George Lucas, hate the Prequels, hate the OT, hate the lore, hate Anakin. And yet, ……you love Corporate Rey Palpatine. You have sub-garbage taste. Frick off
>he's the chosen one, he will bring the force to a balance
>that means two jedi and 2 sith
wait a fricking second, isn't there a frickload of hidden jedi they pull out of their ass for each new series or whatever?
>Spends 23 years as a Jedi
>23 years as a Sith
Bravo, Lucas
>won a war the first time he "flew" a naboo starfighter
Let's analyze this
-He couldn't figure out how close the wienerpit initially and was just smashing buttons
-Literally autopilot took him to be battle. He didn’t know about it or want to be there
-Gets off autopilot and is immediately shot down because he's not a star pilot
-crashes into a hanger and is able to get his ship running because he is a seasoned mechanic
-accidently blows up base because he missed the droids he was shooting at
So how exactly does Anakin being some Mr Magoo tier character correlate to the Mary Sue that is Ray?
Now that's pod racing
Ayo Disney doesn't pay me enough to argue with that
The Star Wars sequels have absolutely no redeeming quality except for the First Order being the perfect allegory for modern Russia but I'll bite.
>virgin birth
Establishes Anakin as an inversion of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the supposed savior of the Jedi who will instead becoming their undoing.
>C3P0
Arguably unnecessary, but one might consider it a further extension of the Christ allegory, the miracle worker bringing life to the lifeless.
>Naboo starfighter
As put it, he was basically going full moron and only survived thanks to dumb luck
>Rey
Anakin Skywalker is meant to be a cautionary tale of a profoundly dysfunctional person who allowed his fear, jealousy, rage, narcissism, sexual desire, and lust for power to go to his head and it destroyed both him and everyone around him. He SHOULD have been the savior, the ultimate hero of the story, but he was only a man, an imperfect, emotionally weak, and gullible man.
Rey is a pathetic female power fantasy of Kathleen Kennedy. She has no deeper meaning or allegory.
Yes.
Now frick off
Anakin was a character set up to fail from the start. You already watched him at his lowest in the original films. Him being so obviously 'the chosen one' amplifies all of his coming mistakes.
The biggest fan theory for the sequels was that she and Kylo were going to switch sides and Rey would become evil. Fans were desperately trying to give her a flaw, but KK is a moron.
If you take a compressor out of something it won't work. Something is being compressed for a reason
The only thing you could bypass is some electrical relay that needs to fire before the next system can fire. You can bypass one to trick the system but that's it
You also can't move rocks with your mind
You can in star wars. Where is it established that compressors work completely differently in the setting? Don't play at being a moron, leave that to the real women.
>Where is it established that compressors work completely differently in the setting?
In the scene where Rey bypasses the compressor and its a good thing
You sound like the kind of guy who'd defend the presence of a boom mic in a shot as intentional.
You sound like the kind of guy who'd defend the Star Wars prequels to trigger the libs
Sounds like you're jumping at shadows. The prequels sucked ass.
What the frick do libs have to do with the prequels? Are you touched?
This confused me too. Was the falcon just built by some moronic company that made it capable of better shit and they installed a nerf so that they couldn't sell it for as much?
It's specifically noted by Han that "someone (idiot) installed a compressor (since I lost the ship) (and that's bad)" so I'll give a pass for it. Basically,
>Car exists
>Someone installs a bunch of LED lights all over it because it looks cool and "red makes it go fasta" or some shit
>We need more power, so cut the wire to the LEDs
It doesn't make Rey less of a Mary Sue, but in isolation bypassing the compressor might be a good idea.
Here's the difference: They would absolutely NEVER show something like this happening to Rey.
Anakin may have been unrealistically competent for his age, but he was also prone to making mistakes and was not immune to the consequences of his own actions.
Rey never fails or suffers EVER, because showing a woman failing or suffering would be misogyny therefore you can't have that in a modern movie.
Can you imagine the
>Graphic Depictions of Violence Against Women Echoes Reality for Many
Headlines if they did this for Rey?
The closest they got was in TLJ when Snoke was cool for a grand total of 20 seconds before Kylo murdered him for no real reason. Snoke was using the force to paralyze her and she was useless against it. However it has no consequence to the story and is immediately undone by Kylo Ren's obvious betrayal.
That's the big caveat with any and all of Rey's shortcomings. They never actually matter. She fell for Snoke's trap? Doesn't matter, Kylo kills Snoke, Rey beats him and escapes, and the seeds of redemption are planted in him. Rey blew up a ship on accident? Doesn't matter, Chewie wasn't on it.
>Screaming and on fire
Yeeah she wasn't a virgin
Yeaaah he's white and from the future (180 IQ) and an autist
Yeeeaaaah he's the chosen one from an ancient prophecy
There's a few small differences here, even though they're both bad.
1. Anakin is a preexisting character who we already know is important.
2. In-universe, building C3PO isn't a big deal and we don't really know or care how much his piloting actually helped. This stuff is just a side story and it's too noisy to make heads or tails of it. It's cringe, but it's not a big deal. It's not like Obi-Wan and Yoda were on the surface celebrating, shouting Anakin's name.
3. Having competent characters predict a child will one day be awesome then showing him be awesome is not bad writing. Having a character just be awesome for no reason, one-upping preexisting awesome characters, is.
4. Virgin birth is cringe, but secretly having demigod lineage is worse, because one at least establishes themselves as a completely new character instead of riding the coattails of older ones.
The whole point of Anakin is they set him up for the fall though. He isn't just "amazing" for the hell of it.
Plus, Jar Jar is the hero of TPM.
I always thought it was cringe when incels cry about Rey being good with starfighters and knowing how to fix the Falcon. She scavenged ship parts literally her whole life, it only made sense she'd at least be good at that.
>pick up parts = good at flying
Literal fricking Black person logic.
Stop responding to your own posts, shill
How does knowing what parts merchants will pay you for give you an understanding of how the machine works? You think the kid who steals the copper out of your walls is now also an electrician? Or, the russian conscripts who stole the wiring out of their tanks are now engineers? That's so ridiculous, I can't believe there exists a single person alive who would make the argument sincerely.
There is one “guy” who has been posting pro-Rey, pro-TLJ propaganda for years now. I hope Disney are paying him well, otherwise “he’s” the biggest loser I’ve ever seen
Damn I guess that means children are capable of building robots
>picking up scraps left in the sand after an intense battle = being able to fix a craft you have never seen and is a hundred year old design
kys
The absolute irony of these morons still trying to shit on the prequels and defending Nuwars when the entire Star Wars franchise right now is
>P-please remember the prequels!
The primary difference is that Anakin fell into darkness even though he was supposed to be the chosen one. Rey on the other hand is incorruptible on top of being good at everything.
>The primary difference is that Anakin fell into darkness even though he was supposed to be the chosen one. Rey on the other hand is incorruptible on top of being good at everything.
And she’s tedious, boring, and simply does not belong in this family’s story. Rey is mathematically the WORST thing to happen to Star Wars and she’s the main reason the franchise no longer makes money from films and merchandise. She is the franchise killer
No, chud, Anakin was the franchise killer. Hence GL had to sell the franchise.
This. Anakin and the end of the trilogy killed general audience enthusiasm for Star Wars for years and years.
Anakin went from a child prodigy super-genius chosen one to a gullible, petulant woman who is easily rused by obvious villainy in the course of a single trilogy. Not saying anything good about Rey, but Anakin's character are was nonsensical trash.
Prime Natalie Portman pussy does that to a fella.
A seventaen yeah old is nyevah in heah proim
OIM IN MOI PRROOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIMM!!
You know what? You’re right, I am more of Leon the Professional fan.
>one graphic sends both PT and ST trannies into a pant shitting rage
OT Chads always win. 3 movies. 1 edition. 2 genders.
child anakin was also shit
Remember that weird period of time that disnoids would legit try to argue that Anakin of all characters was Mary Sue? Also most people shat on the things you listed
Nobody cares about Rey. She’s hated by the fan base and forgotten by the normies. She’s nothing
These polls are always completely dominated by recency. If this poll was made after some Disney+ miniseries about Padme, she'd be at 50+%
Rey's shit though, that's correct.
That poll is from years before the shitty series.
>beaten by Mara Jade
oof
chuds adore mara sue
>Chads adore Mara Cute
Fixed
>W..we never liked Anakin and always shat on him so your points are stupid! But also Anakin was amazing and everyone loved him and everything he did made perfect sense!
You’re conflating normal people and prequelgays. Anakin sucked. The prequels sucked. The sequels sucked.
Anakin was cool as Darth Vader in the original trilogy(really only the first two, ROTJ made him a gay). He is a pathetic moron in the prequels and an annoying little shit in Phantom Menace
>I have to prove the children's movies from ten years ago were better than the children's movies from twenty years ago, and only then will the workers of the world unite and seize the means of production!
Go to bed.
almost like everyone hated kid Anakin to the point it ruined the actor's life
Hayden sucked too only gay zoomers think he’s cool. back then every real person wondered out loud “why did they make Darth Vader such a whiny gay?”
George Lucas was considered an absolute laughing stock when the prequels came out and he got so mad at the fans that he literally destroyed the master tapes of the OT.
That was archetypal of the era zoomie. Emo bad boys were IN.
Prequelgays are largely homosexual.
Now that zoomers are in college, I guess we can finally get sequel contrarians.
prequel contrarians never existed though, nobody ever defended the prequels ever and if they did it was only because they were 100% right
>child prodigy that is the chosen one, everyone expects him to excel and become their savior
>falls from grace and becomes their biggest nightmare
Not a gary stu.
Funniest thing about that shit was he wasn't supposed to be a failure, he was supposed to "bring balance to the force". This would seem like something the Jedi would want to avoid at that time because the Sith were practically non-existent but the council was still all "it's a prophecy, what could go wrong lol". Then Anakin proceeds to merk the entire Jedi order and make Jedi as rare as Sith
>make jedi as rare as Sith
>still only 2 real sith in the entire movie and tv history with 2 apprentices that got duped and an acolyte
>meanwhile, there's like 200 named jedi survivors
Pretty sure there were more than that
They're both shit.
Everyone hated and questioned how Anakin could create 3-CPO and know R2 but not recognize either of them later
So why is this thread filled to the brim with chuddies defending it?
Black person will skin you alive if you don’t shut the frick up.
wow you are really passionate about defending the prequels
Did you missed how Anakin failed in his quest? He got redeemed in the end, yes. But he had to die for that.
it's okay when it's a child in a children's film.
yeah and it led to Anakin being arrogant and fricking up, almost like it was an actual story
Prequels were bad with some redeeming qualities.
Sequels were bad with no redeeming qualities.
Simple as.
Its funny that Anakin building C3PO still filters people. Its the equivelent of a kid building a PC today. Kids do it all the time, its not crazy.
Star wars is gay. And you're gay too.
Prequels:
>Solid world building, made Star Wars truly feel like it took place in this massive, sprawling galaxy not just some backwater planets.
>Designs are completely on point
>CGI was fantastic for its time, used a lot of models as well
>Introduced a ton of interesting concepts that are staples of Star Wars now such as the lightsaber battles being acrobatic.
>Complex political story that is simply executed poorly.
>Still culturally relevant to this day, still discussed both good and bad, spawned a ton of interesting expanded universe media and some of the best Star Wars media of all time came in its wake (Kotor for example)
>Terrible acting in general with a few exceptions
>Very bad dialogue at times, some of it is "decent" but most of it is amateurish and bad.
>Child actors / Jar Jar
>Wasted potential
Nu-Wars:
>Terrible, uninteresting, uninspired characters.
>Awful acting and camera work
>Resets the story in a terrible, pointless manner.
>Horrible writing, it's as if JJ Abrams didn't even bother to think critically when writing stuff like Starkiller base.
>0 world building at all, the "new republic" has 0 named characters and ends within a minute of screentime and then everyone forgets this massive galactic-scale genocide committed by the first order the next scene, and it's not even mentioned again in the subsequent movies. Keep in mind that Hosnian prime (which they used because they were too cowardly to blow up Coruscant) was another city-wide planet with trillions of living beings on it and the other planets in the system that were blown up unceremoniously.
>Completely and utterly SOVLESS. Designed by committee to appeal to as many demographics as possible to maximize profit, and yet it still failed.
>No one remembers or cares about these movies, they had - staying power and are culturally irrelevant
>Spawned no interesting media in its wake just pure fricking SLOP for children's toys.
APOLOGIZE TO THE MAN NOW.
>CGI was fantastic for its time
>that .webm
Are you illiterate?
There's just something so dysgenic in the way you post.
You forgot
Prequels:
>High God tier OST
Peak John Williams
Real.
No complaints here. Rey and Anakin both are powerful because Palpatine is their father.
>highest secret blood karate amount

>???????
Ok but he was LITERALLY the prophesied chosen one
You guys are arguing about fricking Star Wars of all things. The prime example of American movie slop. Grow up
you’re seething about people arguing over star wars in a star wars thread. that’s makes (You) the biggest gay here.
We kys ourselves in shame.
t. prequelsir
They're kids movies
Can we at least mention that every prequel film that ruined Hollywood in the past 20 years was probably inspired by the success of these films?
Anakin is meant to be a reflection of Luke, so while Luke starts out dumb and useless and then rises up, Anakin starts out with everything and then degrades into a coward and a villain, which precludes him from being a Mary Sue by default.
Rey is just Mrs. perfect from day one and the attempts at presenting her as "flawed" are pathetic.
>Anakin starts out with everything and then degrades into a coward and a villain
Anakin was literally born into slavery.
Jake Lloyd got bullied so hard for his role he's in an insane asylum right now,
What is this revisionist bullcrap??
I don't hate Rey because she's a Mary Sue, I hate her because I hate absolutely every single fricking thing about Disney Star Wars.
>the first time he flew a naboo starfighter
Anakin was a seasoned pod racer though.
He was a terrible character from a terrible trilogy, but he was still miles better than Ray.
Nah there's no redeeming Anakin accidentally flying a fighter and conveniently destroying the mothership and saving the day. It's the worst part of the prequels.
Absolutely, but at least it makes more sense than Ray.
at least Anakin is not a w*man
But prequels are hated shit too?
