That’s an interesting perspective from someone who believes Kylo Ren can be redeemed. So, Boba is as bad as Vader and Jabba and you don’t like Han for his long-past association with Jabba. Yet Kylo Ren who actually ordered mass murder, was complicit in genocide, and is now the leader of a slaving regime, can be redeemed. I sense a certain disconnect here?
The way I see it, in order to be an antihero you have to have some qualities that can be construed as heroic. Boba Fett takes out scum, a heroic trait, but he’s also unscrupulous and associates with scum himself, which is where the “anti” part of “antihero” comes in. Kylo Ren is just a bully who feels big by killing and harming people who can’t defend themselves.
Or possibly Clone Wars voice acting, though to be fair the CW cast is very talented.
Yeah, I’ve talked about how TLJ is a right-wing strawman version of inclusive and diverse storytelling (link). Tokenism isn’t a result of there being women and people of color in a story, it’s a result of the creators not really caring about female characters and characters of color. It’s as disingenuous and unfair to blame the female actors and actors of color for RJ’s terrible writing, just as it is disingenuous to hail TLJ’s halfhearted treatment of these characters as a triumph of representation.
Out of curiosity, could you take a moment to reblog this if you believe that demisexuality exists? I’m demisexual, and I feel like demisexuality goes really under the radar, even within the asexual community umbrella. A lot of people don’t believe that it exists, and even within the ace community, demisexuality is still questioned as being legitimate, although we share the same flag. So reblog this is if you believe it exists.
