Anakin and Orion: Similar and Different
I had an interesting revelation a while ago.
It came to me while watching the cenimatical interpetations of two very great, and very powerful men. Each one has done great things, terrible in some cases but great none the less.
Ofcorse the two men that I am refering to are Anakin Skywalker and Orion Pax. Other wise known as Darth Vader and Optimus Prime. Now I know what most of you are thinking those two men could not be more different, those two men could not have less in commmon. But the fact is, after a chance to recently consider the real individuals I have come to the conclusion that there is a great deal more to either man than most fans are willing to give them credit for.
First, lets consider the history of the men in question. Both were young(for orion young as his race goes) when thier lives were changed forever. Both had the position of chosen one dumped on them and learned that they were to fulfill some great desinty that neither one of them really wanted. Both were betrayed and left for dead by someone that they considered thier friend. Both, due to said betrayal had thier bodies mangeled and quite litterally stuck back together. Both were confronted with choices about the women that they loved. Both were forced to hide thier face from the world until the moment they left it. And both of them had a son that would redeem or vindicate thier life.
For all intents they could very well be the same man. What it all comes down to is the moment in thier lives where they had to choose between what they wanted and what was best for thier worlds. To be honest niether choice can be looked down upon. Each had thier own reasons for choosing to do what they did, and in the end each would end up paying for those choices, right or wrong, with thier lives. Two heroes that made the ultimate sacrifice.
This is just and oberservation, mainly just a snippet that probally came from seeing them have a discussion the other night, at the convergance. Anyhow, i just wanted to share this observation with the rest out there who care about these remarkable men. Two heroes that now, dont have to make the ultimate choice, but now have a chance for peace.
