Force Unleashed II

[rk47]

Same. Felt cheated on PC. Too short...and I can never get to like Rooney the Jedi. It seems like an alternate universe where the Jedis are complete dicks who like to shout a lot. The draggy finale where he used Vader as a punching bag was horrid as well. I UNDERSTAND , You slapped Vader like a bitch, CAN I GET MY ENDING SCENE ALREADY?!

[Azazel]

Well, in the prequels, Jedi are pretty much a bunch of Dicks. And Yoda and Obi-Wan are both quite dickish in parts of the OT. All the game needed to add was the shouting.

Actually, Little Orphan Annie did an awful lot of shouting too. So did Pada-wan-Obi-Wan.

[Cyrrex]

Well to be fair, the guy does have rather a lot of reasons to be yelling.  And he isn't really a Jedi.

[eldaec]

Everyone was a dick in the prequels, literally every single character except R2D2 and the bitch who wasn't Padme.

Obi-Wan and Yoda seemed to have got over it by the time of 'Star Wars'.




Maybe draining the personality out of everyone in the galaxy was a dark side Sith power that Sidious was using to make everyone irritable. In FU proximity to Vader and the Emperor may be having the same effect on Fuckface Holdsasabrewrong or whatever he's called idk.

Obi-Wan and Yoda seemed to have got over it by the time of 'Star Wars'.

Obi-Wan didn't tell Luke the truth about Vader and when challenged, went, "Well, I didn't exactly lie, because he's not exactly the same person who boned your mother."

Yoda was consistently wrong.

Yoda was consistently wrong.

This is mostly due to Lucas' writing style of making everything up as he went along "oh no, I've, like, really totally planned all 12 9 6 movies out in advance in detail." but yes, with the films taken as they are, both Obi-Wan and Yoda are basically manipulative, selfish tools.

The person who wrote that seems rather clueless or deliberately obtuse.  The wise men he critiques have learned hard lessons (well maybe not Morpheus but whatever).  Yoda has become cautious and warns against rash action because previous students who went that route fell to the Dark Side.  Gandalf gives hope and teaches the value of life, even the wretched like Gollum.  Miyagi teaches that strength, courage and valor come from within, do not lose yourself in the pursuit of accolades.  Alfred  and Lucius both teach that there is a price too high and you should be mindful of crossing the line on peril of losing a part of yourself or becoming what it is you stand against.

All of that is just going on the weak examples the author gives, much more could be said.

What a terrible article.

Or maybe you're reading way too far into an article written on CRACKED of all places.

[Pezzle]

In that case they just fail at being funny?

[Lantyssa]

Cracked can have its moments, but that one was pretty bad.  Especially bringing up Alfred, whose story was about how there are severe consequences to pursuing a goal with single-minded determination.

[Khaldun]

Dude gets Gandalf wrong in a way that can't be excused by an attempt to be funny. The whole "pity of Bilbo may yet rule the fate of many" line is Tolkien's ersatz Catholicism mixed with a light spicy sprinkling of Calvinism. You can disagree with that view of "Providence meets God's Plan meets Moral Suffering = Ring Goes Into the Fire" but it's a pretty coherent vision from Gandalf, and one which he fairly consistently espouses vis-a-vis his own freedom or lack thereof to act. Dude also doesn't get Tolkien's mythos vis-a-vis death, though it's sort of true that Gandalf shouldn't be talking to Pippin in the movie about what happens after death, as hobbits are probably covered under the Doom of Men (e.g., when they die, no one knows what happens to their souls, unlike the elves and dwarves).
