“To understand is not to excuse; to empathize is not to forgive.” Just because someone has a deeper motivation for an evil act than “I enjoy evil acts” does not necessarily make them any less evil or more sympathetic. I gotta see some remorse, or redemptability. “Less evil than Sidious” is a real, real low bar to hop over. Step. Step over.

Not only should Grand Admiral Thrawn be on this list, maybe even beating out Dooku for the top spot, but Darth Maul and Hux absolutely shouldn't be on this list. When both of those characters were children could they have earned sympathy, sure. The same could be said about Ed Kemper or Joseph Stalin. Sociopaths still have the ability to make choices in life, and when they go down the paths of the wretched actions of Darth Maul and Hux, they do so willingly. Those two are plain evil, bad news, and bad examples for this list. Those are my two pennies.
@sanddagger364 ай бұрын
I don't think a single person missed that Dooku wasn't evil. Pretty much every separatist was manipulated into believing the republic was the evil one and they were liberating the galaxy from an oppressive government. And technically they were all correct.

Barris Ophee was a cool character and her betrayal was a brilliant concept I’m disappointed they never followed up with. It would’ve been interesting to see Ashoka confront her once best friend and ally following her betrayal, especially given where her path took them both. That’s what the Ashoka show should’ve explored, in my opinion.

Wow you guys probably should have done some actual research before making this video but because i'm a nice guy let me help you out, Barris was a terrorist, Hux killed billions potentially trillions, Jango would kill anyone if you paid him, Grievous was a mass murderer and Dooku helped start the clone wars which resulted in billions of lives lost, killed members of his family and killed his best and only friend(Sifo Dyas). If you are gonna make videos about extremly popular franchises atleast put in enough effort so you can at the very least sound like you actually know something about it

And you obviously didn't listen to the video. They're not trying to make them out as good people, they're just giving backstory to show that these characters weren't evil just for evil's sake. They did horrible things, as the video acknowledged repeatedly, but they had their own justifications for doing so, which is good character writing
@indica82995 ай бұрын
He is literally giving justifications for all of the characters actions and poor ones at that. "Oh Hux wasn't that bad because his dad was mean" each of the characters that i put in my comment are actually as evil or far more evil then people think. My main point still stands, this dude has no business talking about star wars because he knows nothing about it
