Reva Will Be Redeemed
No way Disney can tolerate a black woman as the villain.
She'll turn to the light side and help Obi Wan.

Gawd that'd be AWFUL.
There's NOTHING wrong with a ruthless villain being unredeemable. Disney gave us plenty. in fact, nearly every Disney villain is unredeemable. Reva is fine how she is, and I'd actually be very surprised to see her turn.
Nah, I think they're setting her up to fall victim to her own ambitions. Either Vader or Obi Wan or both knock her on her cocky little ass before the season's end. (which of course will just make her angrier at them both for future seasons)
Honestly I don’t mind her as a villain, but having her be the one who ends up saving Obi-Wan will be such a slap in the face. Obi-Wan is an established, competent character and when you have new characters outperform established characters it doesn’t usually go over very well and I don’t care what the gender/ethnicity is.
shareSo far, they haven’t done anything to make her redemable. She said some stuff about being alone and having everything taken away from her. I don’t know where they are going with that.
She has to die anyway. My guess is that she’ll have a major fight with Obi-Wan and die. This will be key in Obi-Wan being restored to full confidence and power. Then he’ll have a final showdown with Vader.
I bet she will sacrifice herself in the duel vs Vader... to save Obi-Wan and Baby Leia.
shareWhat has she done so far that is irredeemable?
shareLOL. So wrong. Did you watch Episode 5? There you go.
It was so obvious from the moment she was introduced that they are going that way. Did you see those "Puss in boots" sad eyes she was given to show how she was tormented?
And then they confirmed it when they saw how viewers actually hated her for being the villain she was presented as. And were like: "Wow wow wow. Stop it. Why are you hating this villain? You have to like her because she will be redeemed. And if you dont - you are all racists!"? )))
It was hilarious.
After the first episode I predicted an uneasy alliance with Obi-Wan, and I'm standing by it!
She's never going to be a nice person or a good one, but if she decides she hates the same people as the Rebels then she's useful to their side.
Heavens, she's simply a mediocre actress given a major role in a major series. Her character needs to be cut in half and sent down a pit like Darth Maul was.
shareI can totally see that happening.
shareWas Kylo Ren redeemed because Di$ney couldn't tolerate a young white man as the villain? There's literally a villain/anti-hero redemption arc in nearly every Di$ney era Star Wars project at this point. The problem is lazy, repetitive writing but the only thing more lazy and predictable than the writing is the reactionary race-baiting from the alt-right sector at every possible opportunity.
shareKylo Ren should have never been redeemed. Because he was an a hole. There was nothing good in him. But those woke writers and Kathleen Kennedy were too impotent to create an interesting new story so they just copy pasted Dart Vader storyline.
shareSigh.
Told you.
What's wrong? Can't you tolerate the idea of a character played by a black female being somewhat redeemed.
shareYou have missed the point. Which is that Hollywood these days is so obsessed with performative wokeness that they simply cant make black actors to play villains. Because they are afraid to be called racists. And even of they seem like playing villain -
it will be revealed later that were actually not ones.
Thats why it was so funny with this Reeva character. Woke lefties were just too stupid to see that. But everyone else saw it from the moment that she was introduced that she is fake villain and they will make her good at the end. Woketards were screaming that its a lie and racists just cant accept that black woman can be villain.
And there it was revealed in episode 5. Then same wokeards started screaming that everyone are racists because they can't tolerate the idea of a character played by a black female can be redeemed.))))
Its so hilarious. ))))
Gibberish. It's clearly you, and a lot of others, who are obseesed with and paranoid about casting choices
shareTom Hanks just did an interview where he said it would be wrong for him to play a gay character today because it would be inauthentic.
But yeah, it's definitely us.
So Tom Hanks won't be playing a gay character any time soon. Boo hoo. Who gives a fuck? And what the fuck does it have to do with Reva's "redemption" arc l.
shareI absolutely HATE how obsessed this series has become with that crutch, but this was one of the better examples of it. She was a kid, who not only witnessed, but hides from Vader's massacre of kids. We also never see her to be an outright mass murderer like some of the more ridiculous redemptions.
shareDid you saw what her job is? They are flying around the universe and kill jedies. Did you saw how she was torturing 10 years old Lea and only stopped because she was interrupted? She IS a bad person and she IS killing innocent people.
Thing is. The way writers presented her is that she is a bad person who happened to be hurt by another bad person. And now she wants to revenge and she uses all methods to do that including killing and torturing innocent people.
She IS villain. No matter what her motives were. But writers want people to actually feel sorry for her and root for her "redemption". Keep in mind that she never felt sorry for all those people she hunted and killed. For her they are nothing. They were just the tool to get closer to object of her revenge.
I don't know who she has or hasn't killed.
shareI’m sorry but she cant get to the place of Higher Inquisitor (or whatever it was) with being good and noble person underocover. Its not how it works.
Her job was to hunt and kill jedis and as we saw - she had no problem being evil doing that. Including murdering people at that cave in the episode 5.
All you need to know about her character is that she was in the middle of torturing 10 years old Lea when she was very conveniently interrupted. Then put a spy signal into Leas toy to truck her down. Only because of that Obi-wan and those people in cave were discovered and some of them killed.
She IS mass murderer. Who used whatever innocent lives it take to fulfill her revenge on Vader. And she does not feel sorry for any of them.
Who have we seen her kill?
shareIt's amazing how people can claim Reeva is not a compelling or convincing villain yet at the same time claim she cannot be redeemed from all this mass murder they imagine and are totally convinced she's guilty of without a shred of evidence to support this.
shareDidn't she chop some innocent old lady's hand off in the first episode?
I came to not mind the character or actress, but it is heavily implied that she has done some very nasty things to get to where she is in the pecking order.
Even the other Inquisitors were telling her to chill the fuck out. Lol
That's bad. But it pales in comparison to anything that the "evil" characters in this franchise are capable of.
