So who is the main character in this film again?

kys redditletter media negro

problem?

Boomertrannypedos can’t cope with non linear story telling and multiple MCs because it doesn’t align with their zogged jewish film teachers talmudic commands

Which multiple mc's?

Qui gon, obi wan, padme, anakin

qui gon
any other stupid questions?

R2

anakin isn't a mc. He isn't even introduced until more than 40 minutes into the movie.

The phantom menace is still not a good movie, but the prequel reviews did not age well and a lot of its criticisms are reaching (particularly for ROS.)

One thing I will agree with though is I have no idea what George was thinking making everyone act so monotone and boring.

They gave a 10 year old kid the same screen time as Liam neeson

This
If anything those reviews managed to age worse than the Prequels themselves

TBF Neeson is a chode who got killed by his own fart gas in the opening scene of the movie so it's not a great comparison

YIPPIE!

Lucas is actually an autist who doesn't understand how people work, communicate, or what fun actually is. His original cut is notoriously bad and he didn't direct Empire. So. Whatever.

Which doesn't make him an mc. He isn't even introduced until more than 40 minutes into the movie.

You were under the age of 20 when those reviews came out. The reviews already correctly predicted you would act like this. You just like light saber fights and amazing music. The rest of the movie is not redeemable.

ILM

Obi-Wan.

I feel like I just stepped into a 2005 thread.

Hebraic kvetching commences

boomertrannypedos

are you even capable of thinking outside of memeslop buzzterms you nigger brained black gorilla monkey?
they literally think it means having multiple subplots happening simultaneously because they have either never watched or comprehended any other piece of media hence the constant star wars threads shitting up the catalog

the main character? padme, the story is about naboo and thus her
the protagonist? qui gon, he's the one we follow throughout the majority of the story until his death

And this is where learning all of your film literacy from YouTube fails you.
The conventional idea is that your main character always needs an arc, but that's not true, sometimes it's best for the character to be static, and it's the circumstances that they change. The world they inhabit goes through an arc.
That being said it doesn't matter if Qui-Gon has an arc because he's not the main character, Amidala is (she also has an arc), we just see her story from the perspective of the Jedi.

Dam I really ruffled the feathers tonight lmao

prequels are bad

people discuss story, characters and world for 25 years straight

What other movies are discussed in the same capacity?
None. Prequels are great.

What other movies are discussed in the same capacity?

None. Prequels are great.

It's padme and the story is told from the POV of Qui-gon and Obi-Wan as stated by Lucas
AHN does the same but with Leia and the 2 droids
Go to sleep Mikey, you are a failed director and an alcoholist fat loser.

Obi-wan Kenobi

Jar Jar is the second protagonist of the story, Padme is the third, and anakin is the fourth.

I fell asleep during that one so have no good answer.

*blocks your path*

what do you do?

Your main character needs an arc when you're making a kids film about space wizards. Grow up and watch real films or accept what you're watching is for children.

Leah the MC of AHN

Luke has more screentime and focus and is obviously the MC you utter baboon, but of course you cant think straight from riding Lucas so hard
Thats going in the goon folder

Its for children

B-but it must conform to my jewish academic standards for what makes a movie acceptable to me

I presume you are butthurt about Watto so perfectly resembling your kind

No, in fact you're less required to give your main character an arc when working in children's media. Because unless the character needs to learn a lesson to impart to children, instead it's better to make the main characters consistent in their values and behaviour in order to overcome the things that are wrong in the world. Spider-man doesn't have an arc, he learns a lesson early on, and then remains consistent in his values and goals throughout the rest of his stories. Same with Batman or Superman, The Ninja Turtles. And it's true for "real films" and real life as well, Desmond Doss doesn't go through an arc in Hacksaw Ridge, he remains resolute in his religious faith and non-violence vow, and instead changes the views of the soldiers around him and helps them over-come the trials they're facing.
Also I accept that Star Wars is for children, that's one of the appeals because it's filled with great stories and values to impart to children. Same as Peter Pan, or the Chronicles of Narnia. Get off your fucking high horse and stop taking yourself so seriously.

Darth Maul gets chopped in half

I'm fine bro, no medical attention needed.

Qui-gon gets stabbed in his lower abdomen

"This is irreparable damage, i sleep now."

simply repeating the retarded Plinkett reviews

HAHAHAHA LOL

Spider man doesn't have an arc

Have you ever watched a spider man film? They're all about Peter accepting responsibility in his powers.

Whose the main character in linklaters slacker

I was mainly talking about the comics, and to an extent the first film. Peter learns his initial lesson about responsibility, but mainly stays consistent about who he is and his values from then on.

The difference is that Superheros, even if they have static characters, have easily identifiable moral expressions. Superman, even if he doesn't have much of an arc, is an unambiguous force for good in a very definitive way. Qui Gon Jinn on the other hand is just a boring guy.

he doesn't need an arc, he's already a developed character when introduced
just like obi wan in ANH
or Vader in ANH
or Han in ANH
or Leia in ANH
or Luke in ANH
none of those characters change in the slightest, by the end of the film Luke is still the same farmboy with a heart of gold he was at the beginning

Utterly fantastic post. Sonic the Hedgehog also matches this list, especially in the games that have more 'overblown' stories. There are so many oft circulated assumptions about children's stories, which are easily contradicted by many of the most well-known children's stories.

Obviously Qui-Gon. Obi-Wan was a sidekick at that point. Padme was a supporting character, and Anakin doesn't show up until the second act. How was this so hard for Mike to understand?

Not him, but that's a completely different point you've made. Whether Qui Gon was boring or not doesn't really suggest he needs an arc to fix that problem, and it definitely doesn't mean his status as a character in a kids' film makes an arc necessary. The arc bullshit is a meme, repeated by people who never even considered the idea that plenty of good stories have characters with no arc. It's not a point parroted by people who simply think qui gon is boring and are suggesting an arc as one way to fix him (except possibly you, to be a sincere as possible)

Remember, the root of everything is jealousy

Thx 1138 was made with a fraction of space cops budget even adjusted. Hiw embarassing!!!

Obi-Wan mostly seemed like the main character

noooo you can't have a stoic mystic type character as the MC the protagonist must have edgy tragic backstory I literally can't watch anything that's not misery porn my adhd brain is going insaaaaneee aaaaahhhh save me internet celebrity

who is the main character of pulp fiction? you don't need one

millennials hate the prequels because they hate their childhood

Doesn’t it take some 20-30 minutes to introduce Luke in ANH? Setup is important, anon.

that face

This gutterslop comic makes me incoherently angry and want to ape out.

The main character in the later prequels felt like both Ani and Obi, so I think they both share the role of main character in the Phantom Menace as well, simple as that. Maybe this includes Qui Gon as well but really if it had to be reduced to one it would have to be Anakin in all the prequels, he is clearly the central character and the actual key to all this.

I'd agree with all except Han.

Padme and Jar Jar get an arc. They also play off of each other in thematic ways.

Quigon is the driver behind the subplot of Anakin's fate. Anakin is an observer character, just like Obiwan, who will become relevant later.

In order of importance to the story, it's Padme, Quigon, Jar Jar

Lucas is setting up a lot of threads so it might be hard to understand for sub 100 iq midwits like Stocklassa

youtu.be/tj-rZKxUgXA?=1Uq4_yV7hAlkiDJ-

the two robots, like in all of them.

true believer jedi

orthodox jedi

presents an inherent conflict between the more grounded and practical jedi of the type we've already seen (Yoda), with the Jedi Institution which holds all the power

believes in anakin

represents a father figure he needs

cuts through all the bullshit

doesn't follow the rules

gives a clear moral view and code of ethics for the audience to follow

ultimately fallible and makes mistakes, discredits jar jar, who ends up being important

He's a cool character. He's way deeper and more exciting than idiots like you pretend. He's so fucking good that he needs to die for the story to progress toward darkness.

Anakin is the main character imo. Ik he shows up 40 minutes in, but still.He is the underdog that proves his worth during the movie
