He might be better than Palleon. But he's not better than Pellaeon. And when Obi-Wan Kenobi sings like Steve Perry or becomes a god of rock like Neal Schon, we'll talk.
As it stands, Journey would kick his ass. Hell, they'd kick Pellaeon's ass too.

No, he's not. Look, I'm going to try to make this as simple as I possibly can.
Darth Revan is not a character. He's not. He is largely unexplored and a total enigma; unlike other enigmas, such as Yoda and Palpatine, he doesn't have any dialogue, canon decisions, or flaws, things that make him human.
This is literally what we know about Darth Revan: he is a powerful former Jedi who fell to the dark side of the Force for a bullshit reason, attempted to conquer the galaxy, was betrayed, suffered amnesia, and was manipulated into becoming a weapon against his former apprentice. Somewhere along the way, he won, and fell in love, and went off in search of some bullshit "True Sith."
Is he the best? No he's not. And here's why: he failed.
Palpatine conquered the galaxy -- manipulated the people into giving him its leadership, even though due to political affiliations and pawns he was its de facto leader for decades prior -- and ruled it as sole dictator for twenty years. He destroyed the Jedi Order in pretty much one day, disbanded the Republic, and replaced it with an Empire far larger and far more powerful than Revan's.
That's success.
Better yet, when Palpatine was killed at Endor, he came back in Dark Empire to conquer the galaxy by force despite fighting against the New Republic which "militarily held the upper hand" in less than a year.
That's success.
Hell, Krayt has done more than Revan. So when you say Revan is the best, I'm going to laugh and hit you in the face with canon facts.
So even if we ignore achievement, Revan's a total unknown character. We don't know how he acted, behaved, or conducted himself. We have nothing to gauge his interactions with other characters or, in short, we have nothing that defines his humanity and existence to us on an understandable level.
At best? He was a powerful Jedi-turned-Sith who was ultimately a complete failure.
Hell, you might as well say Darth Plagueis is your favorite character.

Yeah, but saying that someone shouldn't like a certain character is just wrong. If you don't like Revan, fine, but let people have their own opinions.
They're welcome to their opinions.
But I guess I'm old school when it comes to opinions: I like justification for them.

Nah, he's way better than both of them, though I guess in Journey's case that's not saying much.I mean, Soulja Boy's better than Journey. I wipe my ass with a copy of Generations, since I feel it's worth less then toilet paper.

I'm fine with that, but you got a little carried away.
No, I really didn't.
This forum has been crawling with Revan fanboys for years. People are entitled to their opinions; but we like justification for opinions around here.
Edit: Blaxican, that was just outright rude. Maybe KMC needs to re-evaluate the validity of the Jim Crow laws.
