I don’t stan for Kylo, but I think he can potentially make an interesting character. I also think comparisons/contrasts between him and Anakin can be interesting and will potentially be even more so as the next two movies come out.
What I hate is when people hate on, diminish, or dismiss Anakin for the purposes of defending Kylo. (”Kylo was manipulated!” So was Anakin. “From a young age!” So was Anakin. ‘The adults in his life weren’t supportive enough!” And the Jedi were sooooo supportive. (And this is a hill I’ll die on, but Obi-Wan was NOT supportive and Anakin DIDN’T think he could trust him.) “Kylo had choices made for him his entire life!” So did Anakin. The point is - if you wanna compare the two, do so in good faith. You don’t gain anything by trashing Anakin in Kylo’s “defense.”
