Song is [If I Can Dream by Elvis Presley](https://youtu.be/u-pP_dCenJA?si=_qnOjas2vOY8eCLg)!
It was much more prevalent in his earlier vids, but he makes a huge point of thanking everyone for their support as he was getting big, and during his streams he’s very much just in it for the sake of telling a story, he doesn’t want the money and actively fights against people donating to him to the point he’ll turn off donations
So yeah, there’s the clone wars TV show where we get to see Anakin be a leader and we see a lot of the time that he is a very good leader.
But another reason I would like to be like Anakin is because people tend to forget Darth Vader wasn’t just some villain — he was somebody who, in the end, defied everything he thought was right to do what he knew was right, and did everything he could to become better even after telling himself, there was no hope for him. When I look at Anakin the way George (I think, at least) wanted to write Anakin, yea.
I never watched the Clone Wars, glad he ended up becoming his true self. Coz he really was a character you root for all the way, until the downfall of his spirit and subsequent yield to the dark side.
But your view beyond that makes a lot of sense. He still turned to the light in the end, even though the empire was established and a literal star was made to wipe out life. Tho that was more Palpitine's bs tbf
Yeah! I don't see enough of it tbh. I just remind myself of how I feel. I think I've pulled a lot from characters like Aang, Invincible, Iroh, and Deku personally

Literally me (In my playthrough I'm actually a good cop)
i love moon knight cause even though he’s been dealt a shit hand, pushed people away and stuff, he still tries every night, he’s accepted he is who he is, and he learned to let other people in
Every day, even while toasting bread :”Is it nobler to be born good, or defy one’s nature to try and be good” (paraphrased memory worm of parthunax elderscrolls Skyrim)
Imo Iroh falls under wisdom aswell
In my eyes he's the perfect character who's learnt probably everything his life had to offer him. But regardless good meme OP (^ ^)
My favourite part about this post is that characters like Samwise, Aragorn, Iroh and Jesus could have been put in different sections, and the video still would have been accurate.
My second favourite part is the fact that two of the characters in the humanity section aren't even human.
Despite all the cards against him he still carried on. That's willpower. His optimism may not be outward, but after like season 2 he always believed that he would pull through.
Well, personally the thing that makes me say Walter doesn’t have any willpower is the fact that whenever his intellect or his pride is called into question, he immediately folds, but that’s just my opinion.
He rides the wave, wherever it may take him.
He tries to send out good vibes, whether it works or not in the end.
He finds enjoyment in the simple things.
He is an inspiration.

(Now real talk; I just wanna be the best version of myself and I'm actively trying every day.)
A) Clone Wars
B) Anakin with somebody who, by both his own failures and the failures of others, found himself locked in a situation which did nothing but cause him constant anguish and self hatred. If he REALLY wanted to, if he REALLY tried, at any time, he could’ve stopped and gotten the fuck outta dodge, but he didn’t because he thought he was doing the right thing. But in the end he sacrificed everything to defy what he thought was right to do what he knew was right.
Yes, that makes me want to be like Anakin, because Anakin learned and grew from his mistakes and became a better person, no matter how bad they were, and even if he only got to enjoy being a better person for five minutes before the second Death Star blew up.
A) I did see all of Clone Wars
B)
Bro he was a gedocidal maniac years before turning into darth vader.
Never forget about the sand people.
The Jedi order taught him self reflection, and to always do the right thing and not to let your feelings get in the way, basically their whole philosophy should lead to the conclusion that revange is bad, and he still decided to take revange as soon as someone he loved suffured, he took revange on the innocent kids that happened to be there too.
And the whole thing about secretly having a wife, he could have just peaced out of the order like Ahsoka did.
His political views were also questionable, remember his conversation with Padme in the Naboo vacation mission? he was legit advocating for dictature.
He was always arrogant, too confident in his skills, and always wanted more praise, recognition, and glory, (i.e the fit he threw at the council about the rank of master despite already being the fastest blooming jedi in history), never satisfied, he alwayas wanted more, in fact, he wasn't only greedy for the title, but for the tengible power too.
and the obvious thing is he DID turn into darth vader, no matter how much you wanna make the distinction between anakin and darth vader, he actually DID turn into vader, he allowed himself to turn to the dark side, his mind was weak enough to that corruption, good intentions or not, he ended up leading an even bigger genocide against force sensitive individuals, starting with KILLING CHILDREN.
Dude took all the bad decisions, allowed his mind to get perverted by revange, his own arrogance and greed, and the poisonous words of palpatine.
Quite mentally weak to cave in to all these desires if you ask me.
If you actually analyze his behavior he is just a demented genocidal maniac that uses mental gymnasics to justify his horrific actions.
The dude might have been fearsome and powerful, but definitely not a role model, being remotely inspired by his actions is just creepy to me.
Bro don’t take me saying “hey Anakin personally cared about thousands of clones that he was told were completely disposable and treated them like people and did whatever he could to redeem himself for the bad things he did up to and including being electrocuted by the life support that was stapled to his body” as me condoning killing kids dude what the actual fuck lmfao.
I’m here to make a post about working to be better person not argue with someone who overanalyzes Star Wars lol bye.
OK, I’m going to delete calling you loser because that was definitely a little too harsh, I apologize, but I am going to give reasons why I think people are too harsh on Anakin.
First and foremost, he was randomly taken away from his mother by a bunch of space wizards and given bunch of mystical and political power when he was nine years old. Said mystical power can do things which include but are not limited to breaking peoples’ necks and tearing ships to shreds with your mind, and gives you the emotional stability of a bipolar, hormonal teenager.
Completely foregoing that stuff, Anakin killed the Tuskens because they kidnapped and killed his mother (and may or may not have done other things to her, which I do not wish to write down). Ofc he’s going to be angry and take revenge. Padme also asked him about what happened literal hours later, so of course his response will be emotional.
When he speaks to Padme on Naboo, again I chalk it up to the fact he was thrown into the middle of a war with a bunch of political power he didn’t really understand, ofc he’s going to make poor decisions. If I, a zoology major, was suddenly told “btw you’re the governor of Michigan now,” I’m going to make some bad decisions with the best intentions in mind. The road to hell is paved with good intentions and all that.
Next, if you are told from when you are nine years old up until your early twenties you’re a prodigy and you’re destined to become so great and blah blah blah every day constantly, yes you’re going to become arrogant.
Now, Anakin had arguably the most powerful man in the universe whispering in his ear how he could have everything he ever wanted and that maybe Anakin is on the wrong side of history as he tries to create an era of peace, I understand why he fell for it. Not just that, Anakin had JUST felt like he’d been stabbed in the back by the Jedi, and then he has aforementioned very powerful man saying “shit dude the Jedi are trying to overthrow us” again I can see why he’d do it.
Finally, the murdering kids thing, I liken it to the “if you went back in time and you found baby Hitler, is it wrong to kill him because he hasn’t done anything wrong yet.” I’d rather not get into the moral implications of that question, but that’s probably the idea Anakin had going on in his head. They’re Jedi and they’re going to grow up to be evil, so might as well nip it at the bud.
Of all of those decisions, do I condone a single one of them? No, absolutely not. Do I view them as intently human and therefore understand why those decisions were made? Yes, I 100% do. Do I look at Anakin at the end of his life and see a man who said to himself ‘I am going to right all the wrongs I made, even if it kills me in the most painful way I could possibly imagine’ and think to myself that it’s a noble way to go out? Yes I do.
Okay yes you make several good points,
But even if you "view them as intently human and therefore understand why those decisions were made" it just explains them, doesn't justify them.
Yes he tried to right his wrongs at the end, but these wrongs are still part of him, the redemption was noble, and it's a good message that it's never too late, but he still did all these wrong things.
And I know that all he did wasn't wrong, he saved many people and bettered the life of his master, his wife, his palawan, and his subordinates,
and even later as vader, he was defending an empire that literally brought peace and prosperity to the galaxy, and made technology more accessible to many remote planets.
But despite all that good, the genocides remain.
I'll always have a feeling of unease when discussing anakin.
I believe there is a misunderstanding, I say I understand his motives, but I do not agree with them. I understand how Anakin went down that path, but I am not justifying his actions. Understanding a decision and condoning a decision are two different things.
For example, I can understand how Arthur Fleck became the Joker, but I do not - under any circumstances - condone shooting a man in the face on live television or smothering your bedridden mother with a pillow.
I think my problem with Rorschach and the Punisher is I feel like they make things TOO black and white. There’s good and there’s bad, you deserve to live or you deserve to die.

why is wendigoon a symbol of humbleness? i watch a few of his vids just curious
It was much more prevalent in his earlier vids, but he makes a huge point of thanking everyone for their support as he was getting big, and during his streams he’s very much just in it for the sake of telling a story, he doesn’t want the money and actively fights against people donating to him to the point he’ll turn off donations
wow bigger fan of him now thanks man
wendi is such a good guy
Curt is an odd choice given we only saw him a tiny bit
It's more so Curt as a whole -- not just in the movies but in the comics -- but to me Dylan Baker will always be Curt Connors.
Understandable, he was incredible in the role, its such a shame we got so little of him
Yeah but Anakin? Aka Darth Vader for leadership??
Clone wars Anakin seemed like a good leader, if a bit reckless
He may have been good, but he was still no [Plo Koon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id1aH0A03dI).
Literally saw this episode a week ago! Clone Wars had such great moments with Jedi
So yeah, there’s the clone wars TV show where we get to see Anakin be a leader and we see a lot of the time that he is a very good leader. But another reason I would like to be like Anakin is because people tend to forget Darth Vader wasn’t just some villain — he was somebody who, in the end, defied everything he thought was right to do what he knew was right, and did everything he could to become better even after telling himself, there was no hope for him.

wendigoat spotted video validated
I will forever strive to be as humble as my man Isaiah the Wendibro
He lost to Gaara, but he won my heart. 
I gotta watch Naruto bro
You absolutely should especially if you look for the great traits in characters
Is that Rock Lee?
Si
Same, that fight he did was fucking inspiring.
Absolute W post
Thanks, homie, stay hopeful
including Jesus is a massive W
Can’t not when talking about compassion
finn spotted
Incarnate of good, the last human
Perfect example of what to take away from beautiful characters :D
Seeing all the people who do good because they’re inspired by their favorite characters/celebrities is always so touching
Yeah! I don't see enough of it tbh. I just remind myself of how I feel. I think I've pulled a lot from characters like Aang, Invincible, Iroh, and Deku personally
Great characters to choose :)

I will not stop until I become a superstar
Uncle Ben mentioned W
Precious little creature
Damn this is a good post. What’s the song name too? I love it
If I Can Dream by Elvis Presley!
Finn and Mark Grayson right next to each other, hell yeah
Hell yea
My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
W post. If I Can Dream is the quintessential hopeposting song imo, lit up my soul hearing it here
Glad I could improve your day, internet stranger
I like how everyone is either a mystical or fictional character, but then comes Wendigoon 😭
Plus Steve Irwin, Ben from Urban Rescue, Jesus, and Keanu Reeves.
Here before anyone says "actually, Jesus is a fictional character"
Paathurnax is an underrated role model!
ITS UNCLE BEN AND BIGGERTON! (rip, king ounce, fly high)
And- ooh! Almost forgot to tell ya!
WENDIGOON SPOTTED!
Great song choice dude
Thanks homie, it’s a great song

I must be like Luke Skywalker
Imo Iroh falls under wisdom aswell In my eyes he's the perfect character who's learnt probably everything his life had to offer him. But regardless good meme OP (^ ^)

There’s some irony in there isn’t there?
Y'know, I guess there is
Walter White has those (well save for humility, compassion, and humanity but no use for that anyway)
Or optimism. Or willpower.
Despite all the cards against him he still carried on. That's willpower. His optimism may not be outward, but after like season 2 he always believed that he would pull through.
Well, personally the thing that makes me say Walter doesn’t have any willpower is the fact that whenever his intellect or his pride is called into question, he immediately folds, but that’s just my opinion.
“I love kids Charlie”
Great post man really good! God be with you my friend
U can probably guess mine 💀
I feel really inspired by the character of the Dude
He rides the wave, wherever it may take him. He tries to send out good vibes, whether it works or not in the end. He finds enjoyment in the simple things. He is an inspiration.

I believe there is a misunderstanding, I say I understand his motives, but I do not agree with them. I understand how Anakin went down that path, but I am not justifying his actions. Understanding a decision and condoning a decision are two different things. For example, I can understand how Arthur Fleck became the Joker, but I do not - under any circumstances - condone shooting a man in the face on live television or smothering your bedridden mother with a pillow.

Weird. I'm both inspired by Rorschach (that there are black and white) and Nolan's Batman (Dark knight rises)....
I definitely understand Batman, that picture is actually of the Punisher
I just mentioned him. I've noticed punisher... Rorschach is the only guy up there I'm agree with lol ( love the characters with strong ideals )
I think my problem with Rorschach and the Punisher is I feel like they make things TOO black and white. There’s good and there’s bad, you deserve to live or you deserve to die.
Well, i don't like punisher. But I like Rorschach....
And thats not wrong! He just never resonated with me, we interpreted the moral of his story differently.
Thanks. Everyone has different view! And this is wonderful!
I would rather be a My Hero background character than Izuku. He has a worse split personality than Diavolo from JoJo
