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

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.

After he became Vader, he found out his wife died.
Justifiable crash-out, to be honest
I always wonder if people who defend fictional villains online also think mass shootings are justified because the person committing them was in pain.
It’s one thing to acknowledge that the character is complex and that there were reasons for their evil deeds. It’s another thing to say therefore their deeds weren’t wrong at all.
Humans will readily disregard the humanity of vast classes of other humans. It’s especially easy to do it when those people are in fact fictional, but I think it’s the exact same mechanism. They just don’t extend humanity to those people.
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.
