also another reason you know the animators made anakin ugly and did that to his face on purpose is because irl ewen mcgregor also has the chin cleft and an actually much more square jawline than hayden christiansen does, but in the deception arc when they shave obi-wan’s face, he doesn’t have that chin cleft at all AND his jawline is the more slender narrow one we see on hayden irl.
seriously, ignore the nose and shaved obi looks more like anakin than the actual anakin model
YEAH SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY who the FUCK is in charge of the character models in tcw turn on your locations i just want to talk
very very good point anon, thank you for reminding me of that. it’s not just that they make anakin uglier on purpose, they also weirdly woobify obi-wan in contrast (which, to be fair, im not complaining about, i love my uwu tcw obi-wan, i adore him, i want to wrap him in a blanket and give him hot chocolate). it’s only MADDENING because why the fuck did they have to exaggerate anakin’s Manly Manliness like that?? why not just let them be soft boys together????
Imagine mocking a language when all you can speak is English
also imagine internalizing colonization/white supremacy so hard that you mock your own language because it sounds/looks like something funny in english (this was what my viet parents did)
“The most heterosexual hetero who has ever hetero’d.” Ahahhaha. But I agree so much. Like aotc Anakin was softish jaw and hair and had a holy look. Rots was going unhinged at the end but ughhhh tcw anakin just rubs me wrong. He looks older than rots anakin when he’s like two years younger.
more rant under the cut
hi i was wondering if you had any opinions on how the clone wars tv show butchered anakin's characterization and made him this big macho man and completely erased our soft, sweet, shy boy who just wants to help from the movies
oh boy
i do, anon. i agree with you 100% and i am going to explode in three... two... one...
still won't forgive tcw for replacing anakin's dark golden curls with a dull brown shapeless mop and taking away his LONG PRETTY LOWER EYELASHES
the worst thing about having a canon couple for a NOTP is that nobody would fucking tag it since they would (understandably) assume it is universally accepted by virtue of being canon : (
people who shame others for projecting on characters are insensitive jerks.
im still very icky about the "so uncivilized" being used as obi-wan's catchphrase because the concept of civilization/civilizing is inherently tied with colonialism and imperialism
idk where to talk about this at all; it's def not my intention to start a discourse. but sometimes i think about the 'anakin eats bugs' inside joke and i find it... not funny? as in, i don't take offense, more like i just find it completely not laugh-inducing.
i mean, within context, the scene clearly frames it as comic relief, yes. you’re meant to think it’s disgusting, cause oh, he eats the bugs and worms alive, and he’s exaggerating it and everything. but out of context... what's so funny about eating insects?
it's kinda not, both from an in-universe and a meta perspective.
in-universe, anakin was raised a slave. on a desert. probably fucking half starved all the time. probably learned to make do with whatever is the closest thing to nutrition that he could scavenge. it’s not far off that he’s probably used that kinda ingredient for dishes before. it’s not even far off that some type of insect might be a traditional ingredient, either. (hell, i grew up around a dish made of pupa.) what do you know about tatooine cuisine and why are you so ready to look down on it?
from a meta pov, looking down on insects as a source of nutrition is /incredibly/ western-centric. it reminds me of all the 'you eat bats' jokes. grilled crickets/grasshoppers/spiders are a street snack in thailand, and laos too i think. the implication, when you look down on people who consume insects, is that it's not 'correct' food. it's unhygienic? what do you know about other cultures' culinary, though?
maybe im just touchy and reading too much into a kids show and a cute little running gag. or maybe there are things to be criticized about humor in shows made by white people in 2003. idek man, i just gotta let this out. this joke is so tired to me.
