  1. He held the rank of Jedi, but the Jedi Council were jealous and didn't give Anakin what he deserved.

  2. He saw visions of his wife dying and was willing to do anything to save her, yes, including killing kids. This isn't evil; this is true love.

  3. After he became Vader, he found out his wife died.

Justifiable crash-out, to be honest

My ex wife has a slytherin tattoo from Harry Potter.

I read the books, slytherin house isn’t a well flushed story arch. They are just “the bad guys”

There’s not really any nuance to it. He’ll even the griffendor house is just “slytherin but we aren’t dicks about it”

They are just “the bad guys”

You relate to them how exactly? There only role is being a pain in the ass to everyone else!

I think a lot of fans, like myself, wish there was more complexity to Slytherin house and have a different image of them than what they are in canon. But in canon they are absolutely the evil house with very few exceptions (Slughorn isn't that bad but he is self-centered)

You’re a slytherin aren’t you ! Lol

But yeah. I like Lannister in game a thrones but he’s more flushed out as a character. He isn’t just “bad guy”

Edit for clarity: I was giving a comparison to a more flushed out “bad guy” not saying you said anything about game of thrones.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
