He's still wearing a stupid pinstripe suit but I like him as the cat in a cat and mouse game, instead of just some emo doofus in an edge-lord robot costume.

When he cracked the joke about choking? That was pretty funny I guess but it wasn't cool.

I guess I should clarify and say the mustafar duel was cool, but I don't really consider him "Vader" until he puts on the stupid costume.

I used to think Vader was cool but now I kind of don't want to. I think he works better as a shambling mechanical monstrosity Make him threatening yes, but don't try to make him a styling DMC character as well.

A styling DMC character isn't necessarily cool

I just don't need to see him walking through entire crowds effortlessly. I'd rather he use his underlings because someone in his condition shouldn't be taking chances.
Gives the protag's image a lift when the lightsaber finally comes out and they are officially someone he deems worthy of personally dealing with.

It didn't break the series. It's way better than I expected, considering all the haters and racists taking shit on it. I still have the finale so maybe it gets worse.

I'd say Force Unleashed was the worst thing to happen to Vader. I'm glad that fanfiction-tier stuff is now just that, big-budget fan-fiction.

Disney has a clear understanding of why people like Darth Vader... but at the same time, they don't have an understanding of why people liked Star Wars.

100% agree but wouldn't you wanna see Dante fight a fairy godmother?

I like what Rogue One and Kenobi do with him. If you look back at the original trilogy, Vader kinda has a huge blindspot behind him. So he's very effective in hallways or with troops behind him but seriously can't do much against a threat at his back. Can't see or reach that far behind him, hard to twist and turn, etc.

The next logical step is what we see at the end of Fallen Order

Might be a sneak peak at things to come

I've seen lots of peeps saying the show is bad, and lots of hate directed particularly at Reva.

But of course Reva is cool so if you hate her it's bc you're racist. Disney even released a statement telling racists to not watch the show if they can't handle her lol.

DMC1/5? No. 4? Probably not. 3? Maybe. 2? Yes.

One thing I like about the shambling abomination gimmick is it kind of rehabilitates the simplicity of the fights in the first movies in the eyes of new viewers. Like he can't strain himself a lot but when he gets you alone and zeroes in, it means trouble. When you have newer scenes where he's tearing everything to pieces it almost comes off like Vader never tried very hard at all in the originals, Obi Wan duped him into a win that would backfire, he didn't want to kill Luke and then in 6 he straight up managed to lose to him. I do like them implying he has to cover for shortcomings but I don't want to watch every new series they throw out so all I can really do is hope they communicate this well.

I might like it if Palpatine was shown to occasionally pull out some insane feat and make Vader look weak by comparison, like Vader got a raw deal and lives an embittered life more in servitude than as an apprentice. It's already canon that despite Vader's efforts, Palpatine was somehow able to return. Might as well roll with it.
