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

The lighting of the scene, and the atmosphere with the Emperor chillin in the background :wow:

Emotionally, yes. When Vader threatens Leia and Luke goes haywire on him is the height of the saga and Luke calming down and throwing away his lightsaber :wow::wow:

Disney had to overcome this moment+Anakins redemption in order to justify sequels and failed at every turn imaginable.

He got his revenge though, unlike Ned Beatty in Deliverance:scust:

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:

Jeff Bridges doing what Jeff Bridges does, and Tim Robbins at his best. And then Tim Robbins plays it off "damn shame what happened to the dog" :yeshrug:and moves to a new city, like

Going back to Episode 1, you could tell that that they were setting him up to take massive amounts of Ls, even if you'd never seen 4, 5, or 6.

From the moment Yoda was like "Nah, I can't fukk with this kid on that level. He gone be doing too much.". You knew shyt was going to go left.

The saddest part about Vader was for as strong as he was, he never thought for himself. That always bothered me. Whether it was Obi, Yoda, Padme, or Palpatine, bruh never had the mental makeup to just say, "fukk this shyt. I'm stronger than all of y'all. I'll do what the fukk I want to do". I wonder why Lucas wrote him like that?

People-pleaser, so easier to manipulate. From introduction, if someone needed help, he was there. And they all kept moving the goalposts on his rewards, so...

"You were my brother Anakin :mjcry:

I loved you :to:"

Add to Vader's L's that his daughter gets raised by politicians he despises and his son gets raised on the same dusty sandy planet that he despises.

The shyt that make your soul burn slow :wow:

Anakin's Spirit saw it all....
His Daughter married a criminal who became his son-in-law, who ended up getting killed by his Grandson and nearly killed his daughter with a missle...few months later dies in her sleep...

Son becomes a hermit, tries to follow in Yoda's footsteps, gets all the new Jedi killed...fights your Grandson remotely....dies alone...

Grandson dies taking down a clone of the man you overthrew 40 years ago...

Family name hijacked by the daughter of Palpatine's thot he busted in 20 years ago....

All the dead Jedi who joined the Force early pisssed you killed them 60 years earlier.....
