Disagree strongly. The fact that he’s just a boy but so conflicted and with such power makes him actually really scary, but in a different way than the traditional Vader-type.

Some of us will also disagree with you strongly. Maybe this is an age thing, but I don’t think there is nothing intimidating about an emo boy sniffling over how unfair his life is. This is emo melodrama at its absolute worst.

It’s one thing if he’s just sniffling over it, it’s another thing if he’s got a lightsaber and killing his father (amongst all the countless others). I can’t help but think about his implied massacre of Luke’s Jedi Academy - there’s a real school shooter vibe there. I don’t think that’s very funny at all.
