Hating on TCW because of certain OOC Anidala scenes? Yes, exactly π―π―π―π― ππ
Hating on TCW because Anakin is 'too suave'? Eh, while I can see where people are coming from, Anakin's characterisation isn't limited to AotC, and his 'suave' qualities are already extant in the original Prequels-era material, such as in TPM's Litle Ani and in descriptions of Anakin in RotS novelization (for more on this, see here and here).
Hating on TCW because of a misperception that the existence of Ahsoka is detrimental to Padme's character? WHAAAAAT. NO, STOP, what even are you doing???? βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈββββ βοΈβοΈβΌοΈAnakin and Padme love Ahsoka, she's the only child they got to raise together!
#tcw discourse#there are absolutely legitimate criticisms to be made of TCW and how they handled certain characters and relationships#HOWEVER.....#I will always vehemently disagree with those who claim Anakin isn't supposed to be 'dashing' or 'suave'#is he supposed to be a fuckboi? NO.#but 'suave' and 'fuckboi' are NOT the same thing!!!#the swaggering Skyguy persona is perfectly in-character for Anakin in TPM and even in ROtS#AotC Anakin is not the only stage of his existence#and i'm tired of fans acting like anything other than moody teenager Anakin is somehow a 'wrong' portrayal#his character is not static#he's a charismatic and well-respected General in the Clone Wars#stop acting like it's out of the question for him to put on a public persona that is more outwardly charming#it's clear that he hides his inner struggles and vulnerabilities and only shares them with Padme#Anakin is canonically the 'poster boy' of the Republic#aka.... a literal celebrity#you think he's just sitting around brooding and crying his in room all the time???#please#and as for that last point....#well...that's Padme's lil sister/daughter!!!#how dare anyone act like the problems with TCW are due to Ahsoka of all characters#come on now#*DISCLAIMER:#this post is not aimed at any one particular user but is simply a generalised response to certain attitudes I've seen
