Only...he’s NOT really better than this. Rob is the king of clickbaiting headlines. We WANT him to be better than this...but he’s not, and almost certainly never will be.

I was going to say this. The headline doesn’t need to assume that assholes will be assholes out there to be a relvant article and headline. It’s clickbating...and I wish I could say that Rob knew better...but this is a part of his schtick.

It’s also VERY important to later events. If he didn’t care about Padme after becoming Vader fully....then how can he care about Luke? It’s the tragedy if the guy that makes it so good. You get to ANH and think “Shit...he’s still in that suit, and still suffering.”

Re: Doctor Who.

Right? We’ve been sat at home going “Well, what’s on Netflix I guess?”

Huh. They are still making Mortal Instruments movies...even after the first one didn’t do all that well, and is based on a book series written by an alleged serial plagiarizer? Interesting.

It makes sense that they go with Arthur’s brother vying for the Atlantian throne BEFORE Black Manta...since that’s how things play out in the New52 comics as well.
