Thanks And Sorry I Didn't Realize It Was Just Your Characters

I have headcanon that Anakin told Padme at one point about the angels he met in Iego. And she playfully asks if they are the most beautiful creatures in the galaxy he answers truthfully that the legend was exaggerating and she was far more beautiful compared to them.

sorry for posting so much but i HATE when a song's lyrics fit a character or a ship perfectly until like one line or perhaps the chorus and it's such a shift from the rest that it's completely unusable

Reblog and put in the tags why you wouldn't survive in a horror movie

Hot take that shouldn't be a hot take Anakin is one of if not the strongest jedi in the jedi order

Anakin in the movies and legends should be given a lot more credit than people think. Anakin even as far back as ATOC is stronger than most people think the people who worked on the films made sure to put Anakin as front and center as one of the strongest jedi the order has to offer. For example, Obi-wan is literally mocked by Dooku and said to be a disappointment yet people fail to realize and pay attention to the fact that Dooku never says anything like that to Anakin in their fight. This is how Dooku looks after their fight

Does that look like the face of someone who had an easy time against their opponent and had no trouble? I don't think so. Now lets add more stuff to suggest Anakin is no joke

When asked who would win in a fight -- Ray Park’s Darth Maul or Hayden Christensen’s Anakin Skywalker -- Gillard had no hesitation. "Hayden would cream Darth Maul."

Source: Sword Master & Apprentice

Here Nick Gillard said with no hesitation that Anakin in ATOC would "cream" Maul not beat him not that it would be close but low diff him. Anakin grows significantly stronger than this(well he would if it weren't for TCW) to the point where becomes stronger than any jedi in the jedi order

This is Anakin Skywalker:

The most powerful Jedi of his generation. Perhaps of any generation. The fastest. The strongest. An unbeatable pilot. An unstoppable warrior. On the ground, in the air or sea or space, there is no one even close. He has not just power, not just skill, but dash: that rare, invaluable combination of boldness and grace.

He is the best there is at what he does. The best there has ever been. And he knows it.

Gillard also reports that the duel will explain how Obi-Wan is able to defeat his protege, even though Anakin has been established as the most powerful Jedi who ever lived.

Source: The Making of Revenge of the Sith

At nine years of age he had been an expert Podracer; by twenty-one he would have been a galactic champion. With or without Qui-Gon's or Watto's help, he would eventually have won the Boonta Eve race, and his reputation would have been made. He would have bought freedom for himself, his mother, all the slaves in Mos Espa, gone on to win the Grand Races on Malastare, been hailed in the gambling casinos on Ord Mantell and Coruscant. He wouldn't have become a Jedi--he would have been too old to train--would never have learned to wield a lightsaber. But he would have been able to fly rings around the finest of Jedi pilots, including Saesee Tiin.

And he still would have been stronger in the Force than any of them.

Even one quote in junior novel from Yoda's perspective says Anakin was the strongest and someone asked about it to the author and the author went out of his way to say yes he meant to include Yoda in that statement and that George *made* *sure* Anakin was the strongest jedi. So if an author went out of his way to say "Yeah Anakin is the strongest the creator himself made sure to make that clear." Why do people still question these quotes?

Some people i have seen to act say "Oh Dooku was told to hold back on Anakin in ROTS that means he is a lot stronger and would win their fight if they fought for real" yet people also fail to realize that was the original plan up until Anakin and Obi-wan went all out and Dooku stopped holding back because if he didn't he would be dead. Even then we have quotes saying Anakin is stronger than Dooku

Sidious then turned his attention to Anakin Skywalker, knowing that young Skywalker was much stronger in the Force than Tyranus.

Sidious bared his teeth, but only briefly. "Darth Tyranus knew what he risked, Lord Vader. If he had been stronger in the dark side, you would be dead, and he would be my right hand."

Also before anyone mentions this Obi-wan as much as i like him did not beat a prime Anakin. They make it quite clear Anakin is above Obi-wan under normal circumstance

"When I started, I figured that a youngling is a level one. And somebody like Kit Fisto - seven. I did take it to eight and nine, but not many people know that. Eight and nine is cheat. So Obi-Wan is eight. Yoda is nine. Mace is eight, bordering on nine. Anakin is nine."

"Yes, but it's like a Richter scale - an earthquake - and so the difference between seven and eight and eight and nine is enormous."

"Obi-Wan has gone up one level from Episode I to Episode III, but it’s a huge jump from one level to another. It’s not just about a style of fighting—it’s mental as well. Anakin has gone up probably four levels from Episode II to Episode III. So he’s gone beyond Obi-Wan, but he hasn’t gone beyond him mentally."

The ease with which Kenobi had taken command of the situation was frightening. More frightening was the fact that of the two, Skywalker was reportedly the greater warrior.

He had been a superior fighter even when he had been Anakin Skywalker, and yet Obi-Wan had defeated him.

Source: Death Star

So why did Obi-wan win? Well its because Anakin was vulnerable

Anakin had still been between worlds then, and vulnerable.

Source: Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader

Now even then Obi-wan admits he is going to lose if it weren't for the high ground

As Anakin’s lightsaber hummed toward him, a calm certainty filled Obi-Wan. Anakin was going to kill him. Oh, he’d make Anakin work for it. He’d fight with everything he had. But he was positive, with the sureness that came from any Force-driven insight, that he would die at Anakin’s hands.

So yeah Anakin is one of the top tiers in SW not much else to say

Hello notice your reply but TCW is mostly handled by Dave Filoni not George and not to mention George oversaw some of the sources I mentioned and the relationship was never toxic until he turned and that is a fact before TCW everything before TCW never showed it being toxic until Anakin turned evil. My argument is that Anakin even though he was selfish was not an abusive person or some sort of monster before TCW showed up and basically tried to make it look like Anakin was always a bad person

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. 

That's not ableist in my opinion since it's just a visual meaning of how became dark and evil both physically and inside. Plus George actually showed the opposite by making Vader good in the end

the way it's lowkey ignored how anakin lost half his saber wielding arm at 19 yrs old and prob had to relearn/adjust a lot of shit.. like sure i guess they had some super high tech prosthetics in sw but it's still not his own original hand not to mention the trauma of losing a limb (or half a limb)... and the shit after mustafar.. he didn't just lose all his limbs and became horribly disfigured and in constant chronic pain he also lost most of his power.. lost the force

George has explained the meaning behind Anakin’s loss of limb as a physical representation of the loss of his humanity and his power. His loss of power is explained as him losing limbs = losing midichlorians = weakening his connection to the Forcer. But he also explains his loss of limbs as losing his humanity and, to be honest, I have a huge problem with that. I find it ableist. Losing part of your body doesn’t and shouldn’t make anyone automatically less human.

Ok I might be remembering things wrong but wasn't Luke in return of the Jedi acting anti Jedi in that movie like multiple times and implied to not do things by the book and prove the older generation wrong by saving his dad? Literally Luke the entire time when they told him to kill his dad was like "Fuck that! I am saving him" and was right!!!! Literally his dad's final words was "Tell your sister you were right." How can anyone walk away from that movie and experience and think "You know those Jedi were right all along" it's so ridiculous

Anakin’s force ghost watching Luke impose “no attachment” rules for Jedi again:

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.

Money's on Anakin that guy is better than even Vader is at it. Doesn't help Anakin is considered the greatest star pilot multiple times by other Jedi and pilots while Hera is not.

obviously both Kanan and Padme are alive, idk who said otherwise

you're so right!! otherwise how else would i have this image which is totally a canonical real screenshot and not a drawing I did just now!
