How hard is it to write a decent character arch
Anakin: I want to become so powerful that I can stop my mother from dying
>mother
wife?
>Kylo Ren: I’m evil because my uncle almost murdered me in my sleep on the slight suspcion that I could be evil, so fuck him, now I am going to be evil for real
A bit contrived but he does have a motive.
It was initially his mother that Anakin wanted to save. He'd gained enough power to be able to save her, but ironically wasn't able to be there for her due to the training in the first place. This lead to an obviously traumatic event where he became obsessed with the idea of saving people, and started having visions of his wife also dying, so he went a bit mad.
Prequels were written like an 8 year old wrote it, with shitty dialogue and generic boring camera work, but they had some genuinely good ideas. Sequels are rehashed, recycled dogshit.
inb4 prequel defense force
being manipulated and influenced by an unseen force while being neglected and almost feared by your parents isn't sufficient reason to commit unethical acts?
>but they had some genuinely good ideas
Yep. Imagine if George got a good director and some decent writers to help with the dialogue.
The prequels could've been bigger that the OT and by now we would've yet another trilogy made by George.
>while being neglected and almost feared by your parents
Is this explained in books or something? All we know is Snoke turned him and Luke freaked him out.
That's the problem - it's paper-thin reasoning with no real basis in reality. He didn't face real trauma; he basically had a shitty anime-style "misunderstanding" with somebody who he should've been more understanding of. That's hardly a good fucking reason to commit patricide well after the events.
>DUDE KYLO REN IS SOO LAYERED AND DEEP
>literally turned to the darkside and throws tantrums like a child because an old wrinkly guy seduced him off-screen
Why do normies praise this character again? No one can figure out what his motives are.
say sorry to George faggot
