Why does everyone hate Haydens portrayal of Anakin, personally I think he played it very well, he really conveyed his distraught and how fucked his mind was during the whole toss around of the jedis and the sith trying to control him whilst he is conflicted by his love for padme.
Been a while since I watched AoTC just watched ROTS a couple days ago maybe hes just better in ROTS or something idk i just dont get why everyone h8 him.
also could be because I grew up with the trilogy being the first movies you watch since im millenial xd
Luis Morgan
The character was a petulant kid in a man's body. A person that never really grew up emotionally.
Hayden played it perfectly.
David Miller
I like him people say I look like him
Luke Reed
I am just like him
Sebastian Anderson
intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor
Cooper White
He's very different in Sith than Clones, as he should be after fighting ina war for years. People didn't like his characterization in Clones because he was whiny or whatever else, but that was the point. He wasn't supposed to be a perfect Jedi or a badass right away. We got that with Rey and it was awful.
Logan Price
Because the dialogue he had to speak was horribly written and the characters motivations and decisions throughout 2 and 3 were often really stupid.
It's not his fault.
Noah Ortiz
Everyone agrees it's Lucas' fault.
Jaxson Gomez
I don't hate him.
I've just seen the character portrayed the way it was actually meant to be portrayed, so after that it's hard to take Hayden's mumbling adolescent version seriously.
TCW Anakin is exactly what he should've been. Very capable and exceptionally reliable and good to his friends, but also ruthless to his enemies and unable to deal with loss to the point of becoming so protective of those he cares about that at times he comes off as possessive and controlling, but always in a way that's so subtle you almost don't notice it.
Hayden wasn't enough of any of that and was more hamfisted than anything else.
Tyler Flores
>George Lucas will never destroy your career
Christopher Sanders
>We got that with Rey and it was awful.
No we didn't. She was scared and running away for most of the movie's runtime and only became "badass" when she finally had her back to the wall.
The fact that you think whiny Anakin was ever good completely invalidates your shitty opinion.
Isaiah Morris
I actually think he would have done alright with a good director. He was good at portraying a stupid, hormonal teen who becomes moody and emo and who's natural gift for the force makes him arrogant and impatient.
But he really fell apart in episode three with the whole betrayal stuff. Again, probably would have been better with a good director.
Parker Rodriguez
>The character was a petulant kid in a man's body.
Too bad that wasn't what Anakin Skywalker was supposed to be.
Aiden Johnson
This
Im sick of all these retards pretending now that the prequels are some hidden masterpieces, they dont even follow their own established lore. Anakin from 1,2 and 3 is not the Anakin mentioned by Obi Wan in 4 to Luke.
He just isnt.
Jack Lee
>he was whiny It was established over 30 years ago that Anakin was not whiny...or literally any portion of the cunt we got in the prequels
Justin James
They needed an older actor or at least one who knew how to do more than furrow his brows and put on a whiny voice.
Anakin in TCW was perfect, the way he was confident and jocular is something I can't see Hayden pulling off. He only knows how to be brooding and emo.
Wyatt Smith
>pretending
Benjamin Brown
You just don't get it
Jace Adams
It's sad he didn't get more movie roles. I know he's mostly a theatre actor but he really could've done more film. Literally the only thing I liked about the prequels.
Andrew Cooper
Too attractive, someone that Chad is far less likely to be swayed to the dark side especially with the mostly easy, adventurous childhood he had
The Abrams Wars movie actually got the villain part right.
Gavin Morris
This. I don't know why people wanted Anakin to be like TCW Anakin for the entire trilogy because he would've became bland and boring pretty quickly just like what happened to Rey.
>being this delusional
Jace Richardson
Seganfan is a literal autist.
Noah Cook
People hate Hayden as Anakin? News to me. He wasn't the best in that role but he did a good job with it.
Hunter James
He's a national treasure
Zachary Peterson
Pot kettle.
Ian Barnes
Ive tried talking to him, I have no actual fucking clue what he says half the time.
Henry Bell
Did you ever ask him if he got his Lego Hydronauts hydro crystallization station?
Isaac Gomez
This is what happens when you separate a boy from his mother at a young age and raise him in a monastery for scientologists.
Kayden Moore
I was mostly wondering about his hatred of Titan A.E, to which he sperged out for nearly an hour and I was more confused coming out than going in.
John Howard
>since im millenial xd
Get triggered and kys
Carson Thomas
>I don't know why people wanted Anakin to be like TCW Anakin for the entire trilogy because he would've became bland and boring pretty quickly
Just the fact that you think TCW Anakin is less interesting than prequel Anakin basically confirms your shit taste.
You want a whiny mumbling Anakin for the whole trilogy because that's probably how you are in real life. Sorry but Anakin would be way more alpha than your numale ass.
Landon Flores
Natalie Portman had a difficult time getting roles after that.
Hudson Sanchez
Just star wars
Isaac Garcia
>Hayden was doing a James Earl Jones impression for most of the movies...
Jose Hughes
I liked his acting. Sometimes the script badly let him down though. He perfectly played a conflicted and lost young man. Natalie Portman was very stiff though and made him look bad. She was so bad, that Kiera Knightly dubbed most of her lines in Episode 1 even when it was supposed to be real Padme
Hudson Walker
You have autism
Nicholas Ward
No subtelty. Immensely overacted. Unrelateble. Spoiled shit
Lucas's writing and direction share the blame, to be sure. But he just isn't a great character. Character development should be a process, not a sequence of aucceasively shittier iterations of the character.
1. Episode I: Happy-go-lucky kid. 2. Episode II: Cocky teenager with unwarranted self-importance. 3. Episode II: Mother dies. Massacres sandpeople. Suddenly capable of butchering children; his wife-to-be is only slightly concerned. It is never mentioned again. Anakin's development continues unevenly like this until he is eventuallt butchering the other Jedi without so much as a flash of doubt. It is just unevenly written, overacted, and sloppy across the board.
Levi Hall
I'm really looking forward to his novel, it sounds like the most autistic non-nonsensical shit I've ever heard
Andrew Morris
>Just the fact that you think TCW Anakin is less interesting than prequel Anakin basically confirms your shit taste. That's not what I said, you moron. I like TCW Anakin more but whether you like him or not doesn't change the fact that he's actually less interesting. He's the hero that wins every single time without a scratch, and that's because it's a TV show and not even the main focus in it.
>You want a whiny mumbling Anakin for the whole trilogy because that's probably how you are in real life. Sorry but Anakin would be way more alpha than your numale ass. Ah, so you're projecting. Gotcha.
Landon Williams
Oh he is working on a novel? I thought it was a new video, he never uses the word book or novel. So I wouldnt know
Owen James
It's widely accepted that Rey is a complete May Sue, unlike Anakin who in Episode II has flaws and gets fucked up by Dooku. It makes his maturity in III both mentally and as a fighter feel earned.
Dylan Jackson
the entire concept of darth vader being some loser who got tricked into being evil
and then after it happened he still somehow didn't catch on
no one could have played that character well
Easton Harris
>Cocky teenager with unwarranted self-importance He'd spent the last ten years of his life being told he was the chosen one. What do you expect to happen? He's humbled after Dooku pushes his shit in.
Bentley Wright
Oh it's going to be a series of books, this is just the first
Jackson Lewis
It would have been better had it been that Anikan knew he was accepting the dark side in order to accomplish his goals.
It sounds obvious but like you said, he was tricked into it.
Caleb Davis
>He's the hero that wins every single time without a scratch, and that's because it's a TV show and not even the main focus in it.
See if you just started by saying you never watched the show, all of this could've been avoided. Next time just admit it from the beginning.
Owen Miller
I've watched the show since it started airing, actually. I think you're the one who hasn't watched the show, son.
Nathaniel Evans
>Suddenly capable of butchering children Sand niggers are animals and the men had just raped and murdered his mother. It wasn't an unreasonable reaction. The kids would grow up to be rape murderers anyway.
Leo Jones
>He's humbled after Dooku pushes his shit in.
Except in RotS he's the exact same whiny brat as in AotC.
Easton Harris
Who could be behind this...
Ayden Rogers
And people say George writes shallow plots
Henry Cooper
>he's the exact same whiny brat as in AotC When?
Christian Allen
Shut up ISIS, No one likes you.
Benjamin Cook
>It wasn't an unreasonable reaction. The kids would grow up to be rape murderers anyway.
There's literally nothing wrong with rape and murder. Western civilization was founded on it. By your logic, white people should all be eradicated.
Gavin Robinson
You could at least pretend to hide it, Finklestein.
William Hughes
You obviously haven't watched it or you wouldn't be spouting your stupid shit.
Samuel Carter
>It's widely accepted that Rey is a complete May Sue A bunch of assblasted autists on Sup Forums are not a massive group that "widely accepts" your mary sue bullshit, user. Most of the world doesnt.
Nathaniel Perry
>still same whiny mumbling voice >bitches about not being made a Master >acts like a scared teenager when Padme says she's pregnant
Lucas even confirms he killed those children in the council room because one of them called him master and it reminded him that he wasn't a master yet.
Yes, Lucas believes Anakin is THAT petty and autistic.
Joshua Rogers
You underestimate my power!
Luke Johnson
>spouting your stupid shit What stupid shit? I don't see you defending yourself apart from claiming others haven't watched a show.
Ethan Wright
>You could at least pretend to hide it Why would I want to? We're winning.
Oliver Hill
oh man, he's working on a book? sounds amazing
Adrian Gomez
>There's literally nothing wrong with rape and murder. Such edge there kiddo
Parker Nguyen
>acts like a scared teenager when Padme says she's pregnant >whining I don't know about you but I remember Anakin being pretty calm and happy right up until he started seeing the future and that's when he started to lose his shit gradually when it was getting worse. How else would you expect him to behave?
Adam Cooper
Nu-males, everyone.
David Jones
What did he mean by this?
Ryder Evans
Piss off Daisy.
Brandon King
Who are you calling a nu male? Me? Or the edgelord?
Carter Roberts
Keep telling yourselves that.
Can't wait for Based Trump to deport all you rats back to Israel.
And then glass it.
Zachary Young

Isaac Adams
>""based"" Trump You couldnt have elected a more thin skinned cuck. Nothing about this man is """based""".
Aiden Anderson
>Oh, shit, this guy proved me wrong, better make false accusations and tell him that he's upset!
Adam Lee
>tricked From his point of view the Jedi were evil. They took him from his mother and brainwashed him into their cult. Never attempted to buy his mother out of slavery or let him see her because she would only get in the way. Instead they forbid him from having natural human emotions to the point where he had to get married in secret. They constantly put him down while simultaneously telling him he's the chosen one. They also limit him from using his powers to the full extent because they deem it wrong for some reason.
Meanwhile his pal Sheev has been nothing but supportive. Builds him up instead of tearing him down. Encourages the full use of his powers. And makes a lot of sense politically.
Despite all this he adheres to his Jedi duty and informs them that Sheev is a Sith, only to witness one of his masters attempting to murder the guy, which goes completely against his Jedi teachings and the republic process.
Luis Collins
>He thinks Trump is anti-Jewish Oh man, are you in for a surprise. After all, it's your ilk he suggested completely banning from the country.
Julian Gomez

Literal idiots did. Idiots who fell for his autistic bullshit because they were mad
Connor Cox
Oh the irony.
Brandon Morales

Ryan Lewis
Who, Irish-Germans? Yeah I bet he's going to ban, Goldsteinberg.
He's already deporting Hollywood Jews. You're next. :)
John Ramirez
And when he goes to Yoda about his visions he's basically told people die, and he's not allowed to feel. What a shock he turned against them!
Thomas Perez
Whats funnier is that this has been a trend with Trump for years, hes exceptionally thin-skinned when it comes to criticism, which makes all his "anti-PC" talk deliciously ironic. The faggot cant handle journalists making fun of them to the point of wanting to open up libel laws...hes a complete pussy
Why his supporters think he can handle foreign affairs I will never understand.
Camden Martin
Irony.
Asher Cook
>He's already deporting Hollywood Jews No? He hasnt. He isnt President yet, kiddo.
Eli Morris
>I don't know about you but I remember Anakin being pretty calm and happy
Then you remember wrong. He seriously looked like a teenager freaking out and pretending he was okay with it.
You need to watch it again. His reaction to Padme's pregnancy was some of best acting in the trilogy. A mix of happy and conflicted given the secret nature of their relationship.
Anthony Peterson
>my argument is failing because of my stupidity, better say >reddit to win
Austin Brooks
>He's already deporting Hollywood Jews. So we're in the "making shit up" part of the argument now I guess. You do realize he hasn't even been sworn in yet. Also, nice backtracking after defending literal sandniggers. But you certainly aren't one, oh no.

Cooper Campbell
>Literally nothing left to say but "s-samefag" which he's been proved wrong on. It's kind of sad now.
Benjamin Lewis
>looked like a teenager freaking out and pretending he was okay with it Please elaborate.
He was pretty calm about it considering his and Padme's life were basically fucked if they were caught.
Nathan Hernandez
This. Clones Anakin is still a Padawan, and a Padawan with an ego, since he advanced so quickly, so of course he's gonna be whiny, impatient and petulant when paired up with someone like Obi-Wan, who favours caution over charging in, lightsabers waggling out.
John Cooper
I liked him, he's young and conflicted and he played it well.
Sebastian Martin
I like how positive opinions about the prequels are the best method of identifying mental illness in a crowd
