actually! idgaf about Asajj's character changing over the years and shifting directions because that's simply what happens to characters. I won't take that excuse anymore. They should have stuck with her portrayal, style, vibe, personality, and characterization from Tartakovsky's Clone Wars, and getting away from that was a downgrade and did not turn out well and doesn't hold to the character of Asajj Ventress and doesn't work at all and they should've just made up a different character and (<-just saw 10 seconds of a clip of the Anakin and Asajj fight from Clone Wars 2003)

#daily asajj thought of the day #whateverrrrrr #genuinely tho everything asajj that didn't go that direction is just idk #so different i guess? and disappointing?#thing is tartakovsky established her character and turning away from that was stupid #i understand that's still asajj in tbb and tcw season 3 onward #(not to mention dark disciple)#but to me that's a completely different character #they just shifted gears and i think as a storyteller it's understandable to want to do that #it just doesn't hit the same way and fails to live up to the bar cw 2003 set #it's not “development” to me #because a) there is never a good explanation for the shift in tone and the role given to asajj #and b) they didn't even try to stick to that character after a certain point and since the change didn't make sense #it doesn't register as the same character and isn't a development bur rather a completely different thing #i could talk about that change forever tbh #but that difference is just very distinct and important to me #and it bothers me a lot sometimes that these two are the same character #they are not. they really aren't #which is why i resent the nightsister retcon lol #at this point i'm just babbling on lmao #i have thoughtsssssss
