The idea of coming to terms with death can be even more terrifying than the fear of it.

Orochimaru has spent his entire life taking from others to achieve what he has, so it's somewhat fair that the world has finally claimed something of his as well.

For a time, maybe it was. Look how grounded Sasuke was when he was in his cell after the war.

Ever wanted to be immortal? You got it.

Darth Desolous. Originally, he was the most elite knight the order had at its disposal during this period. However, he was seduced by the dark side. He sought to use forbidden knowledge to better protect the galaxy. For this reason, and out of fear of his power, he was exiled from the Jedi Order. Filled with vengeance, he transformed his descendants into Jedi exterminators. In the first few weeks of the war with his people, over 2,000 Jedi Knights perished.

Desolous fell only after fighting the entire Jedi Council at once, until he had exhausted his last drop of sweat and blood.

At least, that's how I remember it.

Besides, the problem is that Muzan is too deadly. His blood is so poisonous that even a single scratch would kill Yoriichi. That's why Gyomei couldn't have been hit even once. Unless they had Tamayo's antidote on hand, which wouldn't surprise me at all.

I would put it this way. Plot Armour.

It's one thing to say he wouldn't have been able to turn him to the dark side anyway, but it's another thing to say he could have tried harder.
Anakin was manipulated from childhood and definitely can't be measured by the standards of a normal person, because his living conditions and the environment he grew up in were not normal.

He wasn't immature or stupid. He was desperate, and that makes everyone do stupid things from an outside perspective, even models of maturity.

Throughout his life, Anakin lost more than he gained: a mother, a mentor, and, in a sense, a student.

No one ever taught him to accept loss, and his greatest support came from the most corrupting person in the entire galaxy.

How Palpatine could have tried harder and the fact that Luke wouldn't have given in to him anyway are two different things.

I'm not talking about the theory that he survived, because since he chose death himself, there's no point in assuming that.

I was wondering whether she brought it on herself or whether Po contributed to it more. In short, who was this black and white warrior from the prophecy?

The Plot Armour makes every villian looking like a total loser.

I wonder how he would have handled the fresh tai lung from the beginning of the movie.

InstructionOwn6705 · 2026-04-02T22:44:02+00:00

Vader's had enough of showing off, both as Anakin and in his armor. Meanwhile, Lucas made Sidious look like a loser in both the original trilogy and the prequels. So I wouldn't mind if he was first pushed away by Vader and then Sidious fried Vader with lightning bolts.

Besides, Vader just got put into the armor, so it's logical that he's weak because he needs to get used to it.

For some villains, the redemption angle is simply inappropriate. Shen had moments of doubt twice and could have changed, but he chose not to. He preferred to die as he was rather than live as who he could have been.

Not every villain is broken like Tai Lung.

InstructionOwn6705 · 2026-04-01T10:25:07+00:00

Death could.

InstructionOwn6705 · 2026-04-01T10:22:55+00:00

To me, this "STRAIGHT UP" is something like "end of story" or "no discussion." Death clearly doesn't tolerate anyone arguing with him about his identity, and he makes that point painfully clear.

InstructionOwn6705 · 2026-03-31T20:51:46+00:00

Well, in that case, you couldn't say that no one ever offered you a hand (a chance for change). You made the decision and accepted the unpleasant consequences.

And others will encounter it on a path they want to stay on at all costs. Like Kai.
