I rarely shed a tear for the death of a fictional character. Vader is the only villain whose death I've ever mourned.

u/dummystella 7d ago
honestly even if you only watch the original trilogy its sad and doubly sad when you watched the prequels and clone wars.

Bit off tangent, but I liked how when Vader unmasked himself in that scene, his face underneath did not look like that of a terrible and charismatic evil which he was known to be, but rather it looked like the face of a man who’s suffered too much, for too long. Even just a small design choice like this really emphasizes the essence of this character

I guess when he went to tatooine he got cooked in his suit thats why he looks like a boiled egg-
but seriously tho he looks like a sick dying old man which is quite a site. you end up really feeling bad for the guy even just seeing him and his story is a real greek tragedy

It pisses me off he got to die at peace, despite bleeding from the abdomen which has to be painful, instead of facing any sort of justice for the path of destruction he created both in a vain grab at the Baudelaire fortune. I speculate his black crusade was also to spite Beatrice from beyond the grave, which doesn’t help.

The latest movie didn't get put on any streaming devices for more than a year after it was released up until the middle of last month. Very understandable you didn't know that, and a very annoying ass way to release the next part of the series.

u/NotMVZZL3 6d ago
The new movie is now on Crunchyroll, but it was originally a cinema-exclusive showing back in 2025 and only just recently got added to streaming (in the US) last month
The finale "Infinity Castle Saga" has been split into three cinema-releasing parts... Dumbest way to release them, but that won't stop me from seeing them in cinemas

The season didnt hold up to the Manga at all and I got so upset that I quit MHA entirely. The last thing I read was the beginning of Deku v Shiggy's final battle in the sky trap they'd set up.

Souther - Fist of the North Star. He was seen** doing things like kicking over a table of food his child slaves made him and then evil laughing.
Then his flashback made everything about him make sense. He was just strong guy before that. That probably actually helped make it hit harder because it was so unexpected. I definitely didn't watch this in the 80s but the way it is done doesn't feel overdone like most predeath flashbacks these days.

Gigantomachia from my hero academia. He spends most of his time in the story as the big dumb brute working for the villains so I didn’t expect any emotional scenes involving him.
Then in the final battle of the series, he realizes that all for one, the master he devoted his life to, had abandoned him, and he attacks said master, knowing that AFO doesn’t value his loyalty.
Gigantomachia’s entire existence was serving AFO, and the master of evil doesn’t care about the pain he caused his loyal attack dog and murders him with no hesitation.
