Anakin03986 - I Like What I Like

I would like to point a few things out

1. Anakin did want to leave the Jedi order it's stated and multiple times in Legends but they told him he couldn't do it hell Obi-wan basically implied Padme shouldn't get involved with Anakin after the battle of Geonosis because he didn't want Anakin to leave the order and when Anakin suggested to leave with Padme she told him that the order needs him specifically Obi-wan and considering how many Jedi survived because of Anakin or how many things he did for the galaxy would be gone without Anakin no one could have repeated or mimicked what Anakin did not even Yoda. So I just want to clarify Anakin could leave but it wouldn't be a good thing for the galaxy in any shape way or form would it be better than what we got? Maybe but with Palpatine there is not exactly much probability of that happening.

2. Falling in love? No they were allowed and to have sex too but not both that is something you are not allowed at least before Disney because you are exiled immeadeately the mother of Satele Shan was exiled because she believed in attachment not exactly a good look for the Jedi

https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Tasiele_Shan

Literally because of a little backlash on the attachment rule that happened so yeah the Order was not going to just let Anakin go from the order scott free they would either exile or do something like house arrest. The Jedi and the republic are famous for being paranoid beings when they need to and I don't think they will just allow Anakin the freaking chosen one roam around the galaxy without at least spies looking at him

3. All of that is tragic and terrible thing most of that is not Anakin's fault because Palpatine would have done that regardless sure Anakin played a part but not necessary he was a small clog in the machine Palpatine had this plan for years do you really think Anakin was part of it before he showed up? No Anakin was basically a bonus for Palpatine.

4. Do you want me to give you how many times the Jedi and the Republic did something just as fucked up and nearly cost or did cost the galaxy I don't mean to make them evil but I want to bring up the fact that the Republic and the Jedi also did genocide,allowed slavery, killed billions, slaughtered multiple padawans just because the possibility of turning evil,helped a slave master because they would get help from him and other things they did that were rivaling the Empire.

5. Not really you don't have loved ones besides the Jedi, you don't speak to them, you don't remember them, you don't even think about them not even once and if that loved one is endanger let them die don't mourn them. Also you can kill how many times you just don't do it to someone with a weapon or a kid but everything else free range. The Jedi philosophy is not innocent nor completely good they have many things that are fucked up but considered normal.

6. TCW Anakin really? That Anakin is probably the worst portrayal of Anakin out there including books,novels, movies and comics. There is no way you can use that Anakin as an accurate portrayal of the character. Again TCW Anakin especially in the clovis arc? Your bringing up Mustafar Vader too. The guy who is drunk on power, thinks he can kill Palpatine even though he can't, hasn't slept or eaten in days and is completely out of his mind? Not denying that happened but you are not doing yourself favors by bringing up him at his worst. That is like me taking a photo of someone who at that point was depressed, drunk, suicidal and was at their absolute worst and telling everyone "Yeah that is him on a regular day" it's very much unfair way to do it. Try to use an example of Anakin having a normal day.

7. "Evil like nothing seen before was unleashed" *Laughs in sith empire,hundred year war of darkness, Nihilus,Eternal Empire* yeah the Empire lasted 20 years and even though Palpatine is the strongest sith in history but if you think what he did was the worst then you have seen nothing in SW in this Galaxy there has been dozens of planets destroyed because of a sith, genocide was a hobby, slavery was normal, xenophobia was rampant etc. What Palpatine for was a slow Tuesday. I am just saying for clarification of no Anakin did not bring out the worst in the galaxy he came close to the top tiers but both SW's past and future are worst from the Yuuzang Vong War that killed 1 trillion people to the one of the sith wars that caused a sun go supernova taking out multiple planets.

8. Another reason why TCW contradicts her master was more like a sibling at best and I don't know what she means by letting go of him as he outlived her. Anyways I won't deny Anakin did that but the Jedi are not like that more than once Jedi allow people to live at the risk of millions so kinda hypocritical of you Aayla.

9. You forgot he let go of Ahsoka not to mention he tried to kill Palpatine and was in conflict that is not exactly lack of trying.

10. You forgot Anakin did not murder people because of a happy ending was conflicted even after turning,most his mind at that point and corrupted by essentially the most powerful drug to ever exist. Not exactly normal Anakin.

11. Yes Kanan and Hers did that and were more selfless than Anakin but one thing you forgot to mention is that neither of them had a psychopath on their shoulder slowly dwindling their morals, had an average teacher in the form of Obi-wan,had far happier moments and days spent most of the time free from being attached and living a lie.

12. Would I say Anakin is innocent? No not even close. Would I say he is selfish? Sure Would I say that selfish nature helped more than it hurt? Yeah Anakin helped people any way he could what he did in ROTS was one mistake that grew bigger yet if we see any other example barring one it worked out great. Would I say he is a victim of Palpatine and treated poorly? Absolutely and I am 100% that in Anakin's shoes with all the trauma and pain he went through no one else would have picked another choice put anyone even Hera and Kanan with the exact same trauma, pain and abuse then they would try to save their loved one too. Anakin is complicated I cannot say he is good completely but before ROTS I have a hard time finding another decent person like him that is including Obi-wan

13. Overall I feel like you either exaggerated some things or used the wrong source for them. Making Anakin look worse than he was and making it sound like Anakin was always a psychopath before ROTS. If you want to blame Anakin for the Empire don't forget to blame everyone else just as much because I highly doubt Anakin would have made that decision didn't let an old man constantly talk privately with him -_-

Just thinking about how… 

When you take a step back and look at the Star Wars universe as a whole, it gets really hard to defend Padmé and Anakin’s relationship. 

A common criticism against the Jedi Order is that they stood between Anakin and the love of his life, and that it tore him apart. And yeah, I guess that’s fair - if you ignore that Anakin was absolutely free to leave, that Padmé being a senator was as much of a problem as Anakin being a Jedi (which she states herself in AotC and RotS), and that Jedi weren’t even forbidden to have sex or to be in love (as explicitly stated by Lucas and Obi-Wan respectively - the problem with marriage was commitment; commitment to your spouse over commitment to your duty).

Except it wasn’t the secrecy that made Anakin fall. He would have reduced the Galaxy to ashes to save Padmé even if he’d been free to be married to her openly. And when you look at the fate of the universe? At what Anakin allowed to happen for Padmé? It’s not just the Clones whose identity and free will were ripped from them, not just the Jedi who were slaughtered by their best friends. 

The Lasat were exterminated, the Wookiees enslaved, the Geonosians wiped out, the Mandalorians hunted down, the Force-sensitives children kidnapped. Worlds like Lothal were reduced to starvation. Alderaan was destroyed - billions of people, dead. Thousands of worlds were occupied and stripped of their resources. 

When you need more than one hand to count the number of genocides the Empire committed, the scale of the horror is just too great to fathom. 

So from that perspective - taking a step back, setting aside Padmé’s and Anakin’s feelings, understanding what was a stake - I say who cares. Who cares that Anakin was in love and that he felt he couldn’t live without Padmé. The priority was never “let Anakin Skywalker have everything his heart desires” - the priority was the billions of lives that were between him and his dreams. 

That’s Jedi philosophy (except they are more compassionate that I am here). That you can’t place your emotions, your relationships, your loved ones above everything and everyone else. That’s selfish and that’s evil. Anakin’s tale was never that of a star-crossed lover who tried to break his bonds and love despite his cold, unfeeling Masters’ rules. 

Anakin’s tale was that of a man who loved selfishly. (”There’s nothing more important to me than the way I feel about you” - Padmé isn’t even the most important thing - the way he feels about Padmé is. “You turned her against me! You will not take her from me!”)  Who loved violently. (*after beating the crap out of Clovis* Anakin: “I know I went too far. It’s just… It’s just something inside me snapped.” Padmé: “I don’t know who’s in there sometimes. I just know that I’m not happy anymore. I don’t feel safe. I think it’s best if we don’t see each other anymore. At least not for a while.”) (*later strangles his pregnant wife*) 

He loved selfishly and violently and for the sake of one man’s feelings, one man’s heart, evil like nothing seen before was unleashed.

AAYLA: I can still sense your worry for Anakin, your attachment to him. AHSOKA: It’s just… I get so confused sometimes. It’s forbidden for Jedi to form attachments, yet we are supposed to be compassionate. AAYLA: It is nothing to be ashamed of, Ahsoka. I went through the same process when I was your age with my own master. AHSOKA: Really? You? AAYLA: He was like a father to me. I realized that for the greater good, I had to let him go. Don’t lose a thousand lives just to save one.

Don’t lose a thousand lives to save one. 

That’s it, that’s what letting go was about. And Anakin didn’t even try. 

Of course Palpatine was the instigator of all this death and misery, of course it was his plan, his design, his fault. But Anakin was the catalyst. And Anakin stood by and let it happen, and then picked up a lightsaber and started slaughtering his way to what he imagined was a “happy ending” with Padmé.

Looking at the big picture, looking at all the suffering and loss and the hard struggles of people like Hera and Kanan, like the Rebels who had to sacrifice everything for the freedom of others, it seems absurd, ridiculous, blatantly unfair that this all came to pass become of one’s man love.

1. Ok first the mechanical arm thing was because it's more helpful to have artificial intelligent arms that help with the project than just being a good multi tasker you can't do everything at once

2. Second because they were made to finish the project that is their whole purpose they don't care about anything else

3. Third because it's much simpler than doing everything at once with your entire focus on the machine abd the arms can help

4. The arms weren't solely responsible if someone wants to kill someone another person tells then to do it and they do who is responsible? Octavius was on the brink when the arms got to him he was a good person but went down a spiral of insanity because he inadvertently killed his wife and lost his life's wok plus the arms kept pushing to finish the project increasing his anger and motivation to new heights. It shows how far a person will go after losing everything and with a litlle push becomes bad before the Dark Knight

5. He was trying to create a fusion power source but the thing was he miscalculated, it destabilized(he did not make it bigger on purpose) and he was confident he could stop it but unfortunately it didn't work

6. It's to power the city do you know how much money you could make by investing in that and you can shut it down because as Otto says "They pay the bills" so people will pay them to continue with the pronect plus it will make Oscorp seen in a better light due to them investing when Norman was around in weapons.

7. He says it's a gift multiple times

8. She was in love with astronaut she says so herself! She tells Peter she is done being a empty seat as he is constantly not around for her compared to even Harry and before she tells him that she is seeing someone tell her if you want to date he says the opposite and she is like "I am marrying this guy fuck you for making me wait so long". So yeah Mary Jane is marrying another person because she's fed up with Peter and fell in love with someone else. Also leaving him at the altar was suppose to be something else but... Also that pussy can kill the strongest normal human on earth. Oh like Batman is any better with him endangering his robins every 5 minutes since they were 10 to 14

9. He did get a hint but he is trying to work things out with her and trying to compensate. Any low life crimminal with a half a brain that notices that he is protecting a famous actress(Literally theres is like posters withth her face on it) more than usual also how about Harry fucking Osborn? You know the guy hell bent in killing Spiderman? As for your second point and thord he is srill trying to work out a way to do both that's what he has been trying to do in the first place in the movie balancing things out. Your fourth point probably because finding one person in particular in New York is almost impossible plus he doesn't boast on that and Otto only knew because of Harry showing him who Peter is

10. Andrew Garfield is horribly misscast as Peter Parker and Tobey in this movie is not suppose to be wisecracking or highly happy

11. He was losing his powers because of a mental struggle you know psychology? Just like someone witha fear of something. No he quit because i can't keep a job i want because I am spiderman,my boss hates me, my best friend hates me,lost my girlfriend to my asshole boss's son,i potentially lost a mentor of mine and couldn't say his wife and my aunt is struggling because she can't pay the bills and because I caused my uncle to die. His life isn't hard it's terrible because of being spiderman he has too much to work with. Also the comic sounds pretty bad compared to that "boohoo i lost"

12. When your faster than any police car and can knock people around easily plus i can web them up. Batman is nowhere close to Spiderman in speed or strength or can do much compared to webs

13. What mugging scene? The scene where he walks away is when police are involved in something? Did you even see the movie?

14. I can point out a million in the dark knight starting with Harvey Dent making no sense

Spider-Man 2 - Movie blog

(SPOILER WARNING: The following is an in depth critical analysis. If you haven’t seen this movie yet, you may want to before reading this review)

So the first Spider-Man movie was… less than satisfactory. How was Spider-Man 2?

This movie often appears in many Top 10 Superhero Movie lists. I’ve got a feeling that those people haven’t actually seen this movie in a very long time. Or if they did, it was possibly through rose tinted lenses.

Like with the previous movie, lets start with what I did like. First, my favourite character, J Jonah Jameson. He’s so funny! Every time he’s on screen I’m in stitches. My favourite scene has to be when he finally concedes that Spider-Man is a hero and that he feels guilty for supposedly driving him away, only for him to return to his old self when Spidey steals the costume back. Hilarious!

Aunt May gets a lot more to do this time around and Rosemary Harris does an excellent job with the extra material. I actually became invested in her little subplot about losing her home. It’s pretty much all she has left of Uncle Ben and it’s sad to see her packing her things and moving away. When Peter Parker tells her the truth, that it was because of him that Uncle Ben died, my heart went out to her, thanks to Rosemary Harris’ understated yet powerful performance. I also loved that speech she makes about how there is a hero in all of us (does Aunt May know Peter is Spider-Man? Because that’s how it’s coming across) And a special shout out has to go to the bit where Aunt May smacks Doc Ock with an umbrella. Followed by this little gem:

Spider-Man: “We sure showed him.”

Aunt May: “What do you mean we?!”

Me: Like a motherfucking BOSS!!! You go girl!

James Franco is given a character less incompetent this time around and does a very good job in the role. Harry Osborn is clearly extremely insecure. He’s trying to live up to his father’s memory and his friendship with his best friend is complicated due to Peter taking photos of the man he believes killed his father. As we see his world fall apart, with Doc Ock practically putting Oscorp out of business and discovering that Peter is Spider-Man, it appears that Harry has finally cracked, as he starts hallucinating Norman in the mirror, which leads to him discovering the Goblin lair and the horrible truth. This is great stuff and I’m curious to see where they go with this.

Alfred Molina does a great job as Doc Ock. The scenes at the beginning with Peter and his wife and the scenes where his humanity comes through are wonderfully performed. The CGI has improved a lot since the first movie, with the tentacles being brought to life with a mix of animatronics and computer graphics. The action sequences are great too, the best being the fight on the train. You really feel the danger and peril these characters are in.

Pity the character is complete crap! (Angry rant in 3… 2… 1)

Who in their right mind would give their mechanical arms artificial intelligence?!

Who in their right mind would program said artificial intelligence with the thought process to kill people and rob banks?!

And if you have to build an inhibitor chip to protect your higher brain functions from the artificial intelligence, WHY NOT JUST BUILD A SET OF ARMS WITHOUT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?!

In the comics, the arms were controlled by a control panel until an accident occurred which fused the arms to his back and allowed him to control them telepathically (don’t ask). The reason the accident was caused was because his personal life was so crap that he put everything into his work, becoming more cynical, disrespectful and reckless in the process. He’s a perfect example of genius gone too far and how allowing your work to consume you is a dangerous thing. It astounds me that they scrapped this potentially interesting and thought provoking character study of what is, essentially, a workaholic in favour of a bog standard ‘the AI did it’ plot. It’s boring and negates any potential character growth for Doc Ock.

I’m not even going to comment on the idiocy of him creating a star (see me not commenting), but he does realise that stars have gravitational pulls right? That’s why it started pulling everything toward it. So what good would it do making it bigger?! Did the arms tell him to do it? Why? What possible reason could they have?

Plus this doesn’t sound like the best business venture for Oscorp, does it? The reason fossil fuels are still being used is because there is still money in it. Renewable energy is infinite. There is no supply and demand for it. So any business that invests in Doc Ock’s star isn’t going to profit from it. There won’t be any need to create more stars or sell them. Just one star and you’re done. It’s a total waste of money.

Also, is intelligence a privilege or a gift? If you know, please let Doc Ock know because he can’t seem to make up his mind on the subject.

I suppose I should talk about Peter and Mary Jane.

Lets start with Mary Jane. Now am I right in thinking that she’s only marrying that guy to make Peter jealous? I mean dating another guy is one thing, but marrying him? At what stage do you come out and say 'only joking’? We’re clearly supposed to want these two to be together, but I reckon Peter should just date the girl in the flat next door. He’s saying the reason they can’t date is because he’s Spider-Man, but I think it’s because MJ keeps dicking around, giving mixed signals and making things unnecessarily complicated. My anger levels officially went through the roof when she left her groom at the alter without even having the courage to dump him face to face. She just leaves a note saying 'Fuck you. I’m running off with the pussy in the red and blue pyjamas.’ (At least that’s what I imagine the note says) What a true inspiration to humanity.

Peter Parker is becoming a hateful character too. He still can’t get a bloody clue about MJ and move on, insisting on reading poetry and attempting to woo her in his own plonkerish way. Here’s what I don’t get. He says they can’t be together because his enemies will use her against him. First of all, WHAT ENEMIES?! YOU HAVE NO ENEMIES! Supervillains only seem to occur once in a blue moon in this universe and the petty criminals hardly seem to care. So I’m calling bullshit on that. (plus, surely the only way they can do that is if they know your identity. And the best way to hide your identity would be to, oh I don’t know, KEEP YOUR FUCKING MASK ON!!!) Second, surely just knowing her puts her in danger. The only way to keep her safe would be to cut her out of your life completely, and you’re clearly not up for that. So you might as well just have the sex. Third, if you two can’t be together, why are you still flirting with her? And fourth, you keep boasting to people that you take Spider-Man’s pictures. Well? Don’t you think that might put your loved ones in danger? Like how Doc Ock did when he threw that car through the window and kidnapped MJ? Idiot!

Tobey Maguire, I’m sorry to say, is horribly miscast in the role. He just can’t get across the wise cracking side of the character. He just sounds incredibly dopey and whiney.

The writing doesn’t help matters either.

Lets talk about the subplot where he’s losing his powers… for some reason. Only to get them back… for some reason. I have no idea what that was about and the movie doesn’t even try to explain. It’s just used to artificially force drama into a fight scene.

Then comes the Spider-Man No More stuff. In the comics the reason he did this was because Doc Ock humiliated him, knocking his confidence and making him question whether he’s in over his head. In the movie the reason is because… his life is a bit hard. Oh boohoo! My job sucks and I can’t get a girlfriend! SO WHAT?! Life isn’t going the way you want it. Big deal. Welcome to the rest of the human race.

In fact, does Spider-Man have to get involved with every single crime? Surely the NYPD aren’t that incompetent. Surely Spider-Man can afford to let one or two go. The movie even goes as far as to say that Spider-Man has single handedly reduced crime by 75%. Bollocks! The reason Batman was able to reduce crime in Gotham was because he was working with the police department. One man can’t do that on his own! This isn’t Hong Kong Phooey!

Plus it’s hard to sympathise with a character when he spots a mugging occurring less than three feet away from him and just turns his back and walks away. What the fuck?! I know you’re not Spider-Man anymore, but couldn’t you at least call the police or something? I don’t care how many children you save from burning buildings. I officially hate you now because of that.

Is Spider-Man 2 one of the greatest superhero movies of all time? No. There’s the occasional flash of brilliance. but it’s mostly bad. Not as bad as the first Spider-Man, but still pretty bad. The love story is bullshit, the villain plot is ridiculous and instead of the writers focusing their efforts on character development, they instead give us mostly pointless shit. Did we really need the scene with Peter in the laundromat? Did we really need the Chinese woman singing the Spidey theme? Or the rent guy next door? Or the obnoxious usher? Or that weird scene in the elevator? (I don’t even get that scene. Is it supposed to be funny? Because it’s not. It just makes the film grind to a halt)

Enough. I’m going to watch The Dark Knight. Get some good superhero fiction back in my system.

I agree for the most part that Vader shouldn't fight Obi-wan in the Kenobi series but if there is one thing I disagree is that Vader does hate Obi-wan and actively looks for him at least for a few years. If there is one person he hates and fears barring Palpatine it's Obi-wan. The reasoning is a mix of things Obi-wan is part of his past which he hates, he is bitter of his defeat because he was crippled in a suit of armor that was torturing him, he is afraid Obi-wan developed new techniques and rewrote his wrong on mustafar, all he can think of is his frustrating memories of Obi-wan if he ever looks back and Padme's death is directly linked to Obi-wan so he'll also be angry about that. I think it's also stated or implied it was supposed to be a fight between rivals or people who don't like each other in ANH. It's rather hard to find anything about Obi-wan and Vader where Vader isn't craving his death or at best bitter about Obi-wan.

Disney, if you screw up Hayden’s comeback in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, I will never forgive you! That man got the most unjustified hate for years and he more than deserves to have a second chance to prove himself to the Star Wars fanbase (though it’s ridiculous that I even have to say that)!

Get it right or get out!
