It's always "the Jedi failed at this," "Anakin should've done that," and never "Darth Sidious is so good at his job, he deserves to get Sith Lord of the month."
#darth sidious was bad at his job anakin really is that stupid lol#but also cinema therapy does a great episode on both anakin and palpatine#id recommend them theyre interesting listens :)
@rowenwolf I will in fact insist Sidious is in fact so incredibly good at his job and the CinemaTherapy video only emphasizes that fact, but,,,
oof this is so funny of you to put this on my post. I've seen both of those episodes of CinemaTherapy they have some great points but their opinions on the Jedi are so incredibly…uhh…(I will be nice because they're cool people in general)…luke warm at best (pun fully intended, and more meaningful than initially realized)…and the palpatine vid caused me to go on something of a rant about internalized racism, so there's that. Someday I'll go on the full rant about how I think their jedi opinions are causing them to miss some of the depth of Sidious' skill at manipulation, but that day is not today
Honestly their takes have put me off watching their video on Luke, even though I'm kind of interested.
