Is he a villain, or anti-hero?

dude, he is like, SOOOOOO cool, he wears a mask, and has heterochromatic laser swords, and is so mysterious, and barely talks, and is a genius tactician, and his goals and motivations are so mysterious, and he had many teachers, and he was like, the heart of the force, and like, he corrupted so many students, and he was a good friend

this but entirely unironically.

>and he was a good friend

kek

I wonder how KOTOR 3 would have handled Revan wank.

>cool male characters designed to be as cool as possible are bad because like I'm too mature and sophisticated okay??

he's fucking sick dude check him out vruuuu vruuu srkrkk thats me making lightsaber sound effects

I genuinely don't think it would've worked out well unless you play as both characters or something. Giving control of a previous protagonist to the game instead of the player never ends well.

kek I used to do that as a kid

>HEY CANDEROUS LOOK HOW HARD I CAN TWIRL

REVAN UNDERSTOOD SNACKS.

Beat saber player

>Do you wonder how he learned how to twirl that fast, Mandalore? How he spun his sabers so quickly, despite not breaking any of his own bones?

>How do you know that?

He became a villain so that he could prepare the galaxy to fight an even bigger villain, conquered the outer rim only to make a shield around the core worlds, to protect it. Then the brainlet Malak went full retard and fucked everything up.

Did Malak also know about the threat if both of them were in unknown regions? Did he just enjoy bombing planets?

He thought Revan was doing it unironically, and he completely bought the Sith code. Malak knew about the true Sith empire, but he didn't care about saving the galaxy, just ruling it as the master, unlike Revan who just "assumed the role" of a Sith lord for the greater good. Revan's failing was thinking his best friend was as smart and honorable as he was.

>He became a villain so that he could prepare the galaxy to fight an even bigger villain

Garbage trope.

Wasn't a trope in 2004, anon. You could even say it's a trope now because of Revan.

Yes it was. It's a shitty overused garbage trope.

>The villain was you, the player

I'm not gonna lie that twist ruined Revan for me

Who was Malak before he became a sith? Did he talk to the jedi council like they were steps to his power and beneath him?

>Wasn't a trope in 2004

>it was

>b-but you can't reference this website on our super sicrit 4channel society!

neck yourself

>Greater scope villain

Mate, that's not even the same thing. We're talking about the "Big Bad being Big Bad on purpose to defeat Greater scope villain" trope, not Greater scope villain itself. Ffs at the very least link to the right thing for the point you are making.

>>635384098 (OP)

Cool plot device in 1, clever adaptation of a malleable character in 2 with great implied potential for future events, and utterly squandered from there - but then you could say that and worse about the IP in general.

I'm not the original anon you were bitching to, I'm just calling you a faggot for using TVtropes

Sure thing, bro.
