#you can’t pick a tangled political morally ambiguous war as a topic

“Making anyone over the age of 8 watch tcw should be forbidden” okay, but why?
because it’s bad in the way only bad kids shows can be. and then it’s also bad in fifteen other ways
#I don’t think it’s uniquely terrible but I do think it sets out with some very lofty goals and faceplants in an attempt to achieve them
#also it gets anakin’s character really wrong in a way that I think undermines a lot of what’s compelling about him
#I will say something I do like about it is that it fleshes out the clone wars in greater detail
#like the bits with syndulla on ryloth
#but it fails to do anything compelling with those bits in a cohesive way
#it’s so wrapped up in conveying an obvious moral lesson that it loses nuance
#which! of course that was going to happen!
#you can’t pick a tangled political morally ambiguous war as a topic
#and then use a kids show to try and depict it without losing nuance and cohesion and a host of other things that make good storytelling
#even kids shows that are about war and do it well (like atla) aren’t dealing with wars as tangled and difficult as the clone wars are
#like. tcw was just never going to be able to say anything about politics or war
#with the depth and coherence the clone wars necessitate
#in my unprofessional opinion tcw was. much like the prequels. and anakin too I guess. doomed from the beginning
#asks
#anon
#star wars
#this is my highly developed opinion
