After ObiWanKenobi and DarthVader had that jaw-dropping rematch in the StarWars show's finale, some are jokingly comparing it to Zack Snyder's BatmanVSuperman.
The finale of Disney+'s Obi-Wan Kenobi draws a tongue-in-cheek comparison to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice's most-maligned scene. As Zack Snyder's follow-up to Man of Steel, 2016's Batman v Superman continues to be a controversial film—which was reportedly hampered by studio interference and critically panned. Arguably its most criticized/discussed moment comes in its third act when a mech-suited Batman gets the best of Superman.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Obi-Wan Kenobi's finale highlights the much-hyped"rematch of the century" between its titular Jedi Master and his fallen apprentice, Anakin Skywalker. With a renewed sense of purpose, Obi-Wan can go toe-to-toe with the mechanical monster that is Darth Vader. The standout moment of the duel comes at the very end, when Obi-Wan slashes Vader's mask, revealing Anakin's charred face beneath.
As mentioned in the comments of the post above, the animated series Star Wars: Rebels did indeed lay the blueprint for the scene between Obi-Wan and Vader in Obi-Wan Kenobi. In Rebels' season 2 finale,"Twilight of the Apprentice," Anakin's former Padawan Ahsoka Tano also damages Vader's mask in combat, resulting in the Ahsoka refusing to leave her fallen friend as the temple closes in on itself.
"Ben" and Darth's moment in the Obi-Wan Kenobi finale isn't one fan will soon forget. In addition to episode 5's sparring flashback, the series brought Christensen and Ewan McGregor's iconic characters face-to-face for the first time in 17 years. Obi-Wan Kenobi's cracked-mask scene is extraordinarily well-acted, directed, and emotional. However, like the sequence in Batman v Superman, it will inevitably be mocked online countless times and spawn a barrage of memes.
