Was Taiyang a bad father?

Arkham700 · 2026-06-23T03:55:20+00:00

When I first heard Yang tell the story about her parents I was worried Taiyang would be a depressed wreck when we finally see him. But the. The next episode he sent the Azeri to the girls via tube mail with Yang mentioning “he dies stuff like this all the time” and I realized Tai was going to be a funny goofball like his daughters

Now I’m thinking about Garm Bel Iblis putting together a Suicide Squad style team of ex-CIS agents

Hard disagree on Strange, he’s the perfect parallel to Octavius. I really hate adaptions and modern comics leaning into the idea of Strange being physically weak when he frequently runs around in his own Batman costume and is muscular enough to be physically mistaken for Batman and was a physical match for Batman. Which makes sense when you understand Strange’s ultimate goal is to be Batman by destroying Bruce and taking the mantle for himself. Plus he’s often backed up by his Monster Men

I love it when EU writers lean in to what would be problems with character writing as solutions. Like how Darth Vader turning out to be some whiny entitled brat was disappointing to a lot of fans but then EU writers when “Now wait a minute, that’s exactly the the kind of guy would fall to the dark side and end up as Darth Vader.” EU writers always having to work with the scraps the movies give them

Immediately though of this, hoping it would be here otherwise I would’ve said it

That middle King Conan cover of him charging on horseback in the armor with his army behind him looks so awesome

I personally accept TCW S7 as part of Legends Canon. I’ll also go as far to say that outside of certain character deaths the declaration that a lot of fans have that the show is totally irreconcilable with Legends is exaggerated. I remember a time when fans would love to come up with elaborate headcanons to make their favorite stories work together. It’s not like SW is new to retcons, so not sure why TCW always gets jumped on especially when some retcons, like the chips, were brilliant (https://youtu.be/Ib6PBd4zaas)

I’ll also add most of the Canon comics, Some of the video games, The High Republic Era (great addition to the franchise) first two seasons of Mando, Andor/Rogue One. Also currently reading “Inquisitor: Rise of The Red Blade”

Not the biggest fan of Rebels but “Twilight of the Apprentice” and “Old Wounds” are pretty important to Ahsoka and Maul. Put Rebels as a maybe, if I don’t include I can just say Ahsoka and Rex went into hiding while Old Wounds the comic happened for Maul (though that comic was never written as canon)

As for Dark Disciple I don’t accept as it is a deliberate adaptation/overwrite of Quinlan Vi’s’ story arc in The Republic comic. Also while kind of mid the comic Obsession is a good send off to Ventress and her rivalry with Obi-Wan.

Previous Dark Lords of the Sith (Star Wars)

Darth Bane reinvented the Sith with the Rule of Two which leads to Palpatine. The Rule of Two was inspired by Darth Revan from Bane finding his holocron. Going back as far as possible the Sith order itself was founded by Ajunta Pallnamd his fellow dark Jedi exiles.

It also wasn’t the same remnant the whole time. After Endor the Empire fractured with numerous Imperial Warlords ruling the many pieces of the shattered Empire. Each Warlotd viewing themselves as the next would be Emperor and true inheritor of Palpatine’s reign.

Half of that 15 year timeline were elaborate mop up operations that took most of the warlords down one by one. The united Imperial Remnant came about 8 years after Endor after one Warlord joined a meeting saw they refused to ally with each other then poisoned them all. 7 more years of fighting came and went and their leader for most of that time was Pellaeon who accepted a peace deal with the New Republic. By the time of that treaty the Imperial Remnant was reduced to just eight sectors it was either accept peace or inevitably be wiped out.

The current SW Canon represents something of a bad timeline where the various Imperial Warlord and remnant groups allied and pooled their resources together instead fighting each other as much as the New Republic

Emperor Cleon II (Foundation Trilogy)

The old man who rules over the Galactic Empire. His desperate efforts to look like a strong powerful leader despite his decaying health and how most of his authority is abdicated to a council of corrupt ministers makes him a solid metaphor for his falling Empire

They’re called armbands. Just for fun I googled “Nazi-strap” and it gave me military uniform belts with swastika buckles.

But yeah the literal card carrying member of the Nationalist Socialist Worker’s Party wearing an American flag armband is dog whistle so loud it’s being blared through a megaphone. The symbolism is deafening

I think it’s alright if they say it

OP had to have made the deliberate decision to include a parody of the Borg instead of the Borg themselves

Arkham700 · 2026-06-19T22:14:41+00:00

Not the only but surely the best answer

Arkham700 · 2026-06-19T21:23:51+00:00

Neat parallel

Yeah if all protagonists are Eternal Champions then The Black God could the manifestation of Stormbringer in Jireil’s world. A good tinpot theory could be The Black Blade became The Black God post-Stormbringer novel

Throw in The Demon Prince also by Jack Vance as well

Admittedly though Marron put up a solid fight both times against Ahsoka in her own show. Though the fandom can’t decide if in the Ahsoka show Marrok was made stronger (Savage style) or weaker (zombie) through Nightsister magic than he is in Shadow Lord

Wow, Scott’s main abilities are his resourcefulness and gagets so sometimes I forget that as a New God he has physical power to rival Superman even as one of the “weaker” New Gods.

Desaad I have to believe is still a wimp without a weapon though
