He was always a whiny shit. He wined to his uncle constantly. He was perpetually moody and short sighted.
During the entire first movie he vacillates between grand standing acts of "heroism" and despondent pouting when he feels like he's being upstaged.
In Empire he bails on his friends to go to Dagobah. He directly disobeys Yoda and Obi Wan to go to Cloud City. He didn't die in that encounter but still threw everything in jeopardy.
In RotJ he stunts on enemies he's more powerful than and when faced with a real challenge only pulls off not dying because Vader does a heel-face turn.
The only reason people think he's some great paragon is the extended universe, which was all non-canon and a big retcon for a generally childish, self-centered, and emotionally short sighted character.
The Last Jedi version is a far more accurate continuation of his personality following the events recapped in TFA. That is also a more believable character as the son of the childish, self-centered, and emotionally short sighted Anakin Skywalker.
His sacrifice at the end of TLJ was the most noble thing he's ever done and even that was an epic grand stand to clown on his own nephew. The one he failed because for all the Skywalker family natural power with the Force they fundamentally don't get the idea of balance within the force. Each successive generation for three generations in a row going zealot for one "side" or the other. Then they pontificate as to why that's totally right when all the core philosophy speaks to the need for a balance, which they personally reject at every turn.
In summary - Luke is a shit. TLJ was very much in-character. The Skywalker men are a bunch of emotionally stunted man children given more credit than they're due because they're good at space magic.

Kill yourself, shill.
You can't explain something that isn't true.

TLJ was great and added pathos and logos to the series in the same vein Anakin Skywalker's demise did

We could elevate the level of film and television if we just stopped talking about Disney products. Let the shills shill to each other while we move on from being led like children to the latest focus group claptrap.
Who is with me?
I take the No Disney Pledge! Say it! I TAKE THE NO DISNEY PLEDGE. I TAKE THE NO DISNEY PLEDGE! I TAKE THE NO DISNEY PLEDGE!!!
The Last Jedi is literally one of the only good disney films

I'm fine with what they did with luke, however the same probelms with the premise persist. The issue with the trilogy is they decided to just remake the Rebels vs big bad Empire from the originals rather than doing something imaginative.

Luke purposefully puts himself in harms way because he wanted to pull his father back into the light. He could’ve punted them both if he wanted, in fact, he did beat Vader but stopped himself at the last second because he refused to make the same mistakes his father did, which helped bring him back into the light. That was his progression, he went from a whiny, overly dramatic, fists first think later, dumb guy into a mature, patient and benevolent character. Then thirty years later he devolved into a whiny loser because he was disappointed in a student, who let's not forget, he tried to kill because he was “irredeemable”. Sure Space Hitler is redeemable but an edgy emo user isn’t. TL;DR: Op is retarded
