why isn't this scene shocking?
>>211819846 (OP)It is shocking to Christians
He already killed children and civilians in the previous movie and an unarmed prisoner in this one and it's just generally not that big of a deal at this point
>>211819846 (OP)The audience is already familiar with the character as somebody who blows up entire planets. If that's what he ends up becoming, then of course he's capable of this. It isn't a surprising scene at all, the problem is it feels like he skips a few steps on his journey to the dark side.
>>211819846 (OP)Lil man standing there with a doonkey in his pants
>>211819846 (OP)Hilariously bad acting and dialogue
>>211819846 (OP)Obiwan looks like he's about to start laughing when he tells Padme.
Because I want to do this to the children of enemy races, so there's nothing to be shocked by. In the inner truth of truths, when we accept who we really are, we understand that the Empire is good, murder is based, and victory is inevitable.
>>211819846 (OP)it's just part and parcel of watching a kid's movie
>>211819846 (OP)Because Lucas is an incompetent director and screenwriter
Because we know he's gonna turn into Darth Vader so its hardly a big twist and we don't even see him kill the kids.
because darth vader committing a school shooting is a hilarious concept
>>211821750this, you just imaging them all fighting with lightsabers and it seems hilarious
Should have cut a few minutes from the Obi-wan fight and added to this sequence
>>211819846 (OP)Because the tone of the movie is all over the place. Something like that would never happen in Flash Gordon.
It is shocking tho. Its not shocking now because you know it happened. You are like mental sheep conceding to the original posters hyperbolic presumption.
>>211820793Partly this, partly because of a lost art known as not applying oppressive gravity to every scene in every genre.
>>211819846 (OP)his turn to the dark side is so quick that it's hard to take seriously.
>>211822701Lucas is a hack, news at 11
>>211821750let the bodies hit the FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR
>>211822701nigga he slaughtered a whole village of sand people in attack of the clones
>>211822645i wasn't shocked at all though.
i was like eh whatever sure why not, this movie is dumb
>>211822791Unfortunately the impact of genocide gets canceled out when we see him quip about the "fun" beginning. I don't think we'd see that in a movie about Hitler's fall to evil.
>>211819846 (OP)At the time I didn't even think of them as children because they were named 'younglings'. It isn't as shocking when younglings are murdered, because they're not children, they're younglings you see.
