Has any movie character ever caught a bigger L than Anakin on Mustafar?

I'm not saying he didn't need guidance. Hell I even agree with you especially as a youngin.

My problem with it is he knew the Jedi were full of shyt and at some point should have felt that all palpatine was doing was using him. Palpatine even told him that he knew the dark side of the force. Telling him that, on top of the Jedi not trusting him should have had him open up to forging his own path.

Yeah, I got you. I mentioned in another thread that Anakin should have bagged Palpatine for the Jedi Order after that confesssion to dead all the side eyeing the Masters were doing and then just leave the Order but at the time he was caught up in his fear of Padme dying. Nobody was giving "answers" for that except for Palpatine. :francis:

That's the sad part. The only person giving him answers was someone with ulterior motives. The Jedi wanted nothing to do with him and Palpatine wanted to use him as a weapon.

So fukkin sad.

I'll always argue that Arlington Road is the biggest L ever taken by a main protagonist.


Main character "Michael" is a widower and single father who comes to realize that his new next-door neighbor is a domestic terrorist. As he works to expose his neighbor and stop his plot, his neighbor manages to:

* kill Michael's girlfriend and frame it as an accident
* mock Michael and tell him he killed his girlfriend
* beat the shyt out of Michael and threaten to kill his son
* tricks Michael into driving bombs into FBI headquarters, blowing up both Michael and the headquarters, killing hundreds
* after Michael's death everyone thinks he was the suicide bomber who killed those people
* his son is now an orphan, believes his father was a terrorist, and is still friends with the actual terrorist neighbors


Whole movie you're expecting Michael to get the upper hand and expose those evil people but then :damn::damn::damn:


Yeah... that shyt was an L :whew:

My dude was all set to be the greatest of all time Force user, even more than Darth Bane n dem

Instead he killed his wife, lost his limbs, and got burnt to a crisp and became Palpatine’s bytch because he was no longer strong enough to overthrow his master

Has there been a bigger L? :jbhmm:

Episode 3 is underrated and I'm not even a Star Wars fan like that. Used to watch the fukk out of that movie on DVD :banderas:

Episode 3 is probably my favorite of the 9. They were able to pack in how everything would eventually be as we know it but it didn't seem rushed.


I honestly think the prequels get unfair hate and it's mainly out of the love people have for 4 5 and 6.

I can't even feel bad for Anakin at all. He was such a terrible character in all three films. A New Hope has Obi Wan mention that Anakin was a dear friend of his...yet in the prequels all he does is criticize that dumb nikka. Anakin never displays any basic sense or decency, he's arrogant and brash from the first film until the moment he's burning up on that volcano. The films would have been better if it actually felt like an arc that goes from good to bad. Instead he's a jerk who turns into an a$$hole who turns into a child murdering madman.
