Anakins Portrayal

Hello, i'm new to this board, i've searched to see if there are any similar threads to this one but couldn't find any.I was just wondering how people felt towards the Anakin character in the movies? I personally, don't really think Anakin deserves the title as hero as the Original trilogy and general Star Wars mythology would have you to believe.I think the main reason for this is because of the following:

Episode1- Annoyin smart-ar*ed brat
Episode2-Arrogant know-all who ignores his peers.
Episode3-Weak and easily manipulated into doing the unthinkable (killing Padme and children)

If anything i was glad to see Anakin get his ass whupped by Obi-Wan and get burned to bring him down a peg or two?
How did the rest of you feel when this happened, any thoughts?

i just thought it was a kick @ss fight. Ob1 RULES!!!

Welcome to KMC by the way

Thanks.
The fight did 🤘 , you're right!
And Obi-Wan does rule, by far the best character in the Star Wars universe! IMO

aww my fav character is anakin the fight was great yes but i didnt like him getting burned

i should of played Anakins Character, it would of been immense

old or young ana

young anakin is sooo annoying...sorry if iv just offended, but he really got on my nerves

I hate Hayden. He was terrible in this film (for the most part).

I think Hayden was alright, but they could have gotten someone better.
Imagine if it would have been christian Bale, the new batman!
He would have torn the house down as Vader.

He's too old. Otherwise Christian Bale would've been brilliant for ANY role in SW. His cold emotionless look from Equilibrium would be incredi-cool for a Boba/Jango/clone commander character, or even for a Jedi. His American Psycho fits of rage would've been perfect for a Sith....he's bloody brilliant.

Too old my balls, makeup does wonders, along with the right hair

But even so, Topher Grace from that 70's show would have been better lol
and I'm serious

Anakin killed his children, eh?

Well, i guess that explains why there is no Luke or Leia in Episodes IV-VI....

*COUGH*

Obi Wan is defintely the coolest character.

Anniken is just some confused young lad getting manipulated by everyone.

Right... And i am guessing killing younglings is violent?

It wasn't violent because...

A. I hate Younglings

and

B. They didn't show them getting killed. For all we know, they dueled Anakin, escaped and placed dummies of themselves on the Library floors.... C'mon, Wickerman!

😖hifty:

now i KNOW you're not being serious

~wickerman~

Let's enumerate Anakin's good qualities...

😕

😂

but seriously...

He did care about people (sometimes) 🙄

And whether he was an ass or not, he did put his life on the line to save others... that does make you a hero (even if you are whiney/arrogant)

Hayden was pretty bad, well wooden.Imagine though if Leonardo Dicaprio was actually chosen for this role?? That really would have sucked, he's a completely different type of wooden.

Well Anakin Represents All of us when we loose it...it represents us not holding back...it represents what we would do if we didn't have to hold back.... if we had the power he had....all the other jedi are strict..but Anakin has emotions like Love, hate etc. and I loved Anakin, he's a normal lil kid.. (brat) who cares its normal..yet he is still smart and stuff
In episode 2 he seems like a normal guy growing up... and You guys can't forget that hthis guy has been taken out of a normal life..imagine how that would feel?!?!

and in episode 3 you guys are again forgetting about the Dark Side Addiction.

He is a guy who made mistakes, and in the end after so many years of being in a mistake he sees that he was wrong and he gives up his life for it.....

and that my friens..is a true hero...a hero with flaws...not the happy Spiderman type

*wipes tear from eye* That was one hell of a speech, musta been because for the 1st time ive seen things from Anakins point of view.
