@TheElusiveEye1 No matter which way you analyze it, Anakin is a TRASHCAN of a character as presented in the Prequels. One of the WORST characters in cinematic history.
It's 2026 and the Star Wars Prequels are all HORRID films. It's debatable which is the worst but they are all varying degrees of bad. From the poor scripts to the wooden acting, if you like these films, I will never trust your taste on anything.
@JEMinaya@MattWalshBlog I was there in the 90's when these were released and they were ABSOLUTELY hated by the pop culture at large. The Late Night TV shows mocked them and even Howard Stern hated them. Hating the Prequels was the default state of culture.
@MarkKKennedy@MattWalshBlog Also Prequels often become "Wikipedia Films" --- where they try to shoehorn in everything you had ever heard about those prior eras. Prequels often come off highly awkward and clinical.
@StephenKentX STop posting about the Prequels, it hurts your credibility in other areas. Absolutely AWFUL films. They were bad back then and even worst today.
@MattWalshBlog Until about 5 years ago, everyone unanimously HATED the Prequels. When Ep 1 was released in 1999, every Late Night TV Show ROASTED the film every night. Hating the Prequels was almost required to be a "True Star Wars Fan." It's 2026 & the Prequels are still HORRID films.
@FromKulak Literal HATED the Prequels the second I saw them in theaters. The fact these films require so intense explanations nearly 30 years later, in order to make people like them, illustrates their complete failure. Those films were CGI Vomit-Cake that has aged embarrassingly badly.
@WardoftheStates All I see are facts. The "fall of Anakin" should have been completed in Ep 1 & 2. With full on VADER in Ep 2 and 3, with Kenobi and Yoda leading the Jedi against him, as he exterminates them all. Anakin Skywalker should have ONLY been seen in the first film & briefly in 2nd.
@kghejd76595@theCTwelve Incorrect. This was 1999 man. Late night TV and Howard stern were the hottest forms of media and reflective of cultural trends. Were you even alive in 1999? 😹😹
@Gondolinhrim@theCTwelve The Plinkett videos were only popular b/c they reflected what we all felt. Those videos were some of the first "viral hits" b/c they captured so well what we all felt.
@Incorruptionem Howard is lame AF now but he was relevant in 1999. It was actually “cool and hip” to hate the Prequels when they came out. We all saw them to laugh about how cringe they were. And they are cringe to this very day.
@alfredjviii Dude I was there on opening night. The crowd booed at the end of Phantom Menace. There are documentaries about how much the public hated the prequels.
@BenHOLLA@theCTwelve Star Wars were never children’s movie. Take the narrative and stick it. They were movies for the whole family and were equally beloved by adults and kids.
@BranVazkez2001@theCTwelve The Ewoks are far and away better than Jar Jar bc they look realistic. Jar Jar looks like CGI vomit cake. The Ewoks were a hit with the audience and remain a merchandise mover to this very day.
@Gondolinhrim@theCTwelve The prequels were universally hated when they were released. Only kids liked them and that’s bc kids will watch and like literally anything.
@LuciaLobosvilla@theCTwelve@Incorruptionem They were universally hated. Every Late Night TV show and even Howard Stern were mocking the Prequels. The majority of fans hated them and documentaries were even made about it. AWFUL films with trashcan scripts.
