No Good Deed - Tumblr Posts

extremely versatile yet underrated actresses: Taraji P. Henson

Okay, hear me out:

Imagine "No Good Deed" from Wicked but from Anakin Skywalker's POV during the entirety of Revenge of the Sith.

We have Anakin's feelings when he starts getting the visions of Padmè dying in childbirth:

"One more disaster / I can add to my generous supply!"

And then Anakin's feelings when the doubts about the Jedi Council start sinking in:

"No good deed goes unpunished / No act of charity goes unresented / No good deed goes unpunished / That's my new creed / My road of good intentions / Led where such roads always lead"

We have more of Anakin's thoughts when the Council doesn't trust him:

"One question that haunts and hurts / Too much, too much to mention / Was I really seeking good or just seeking attention? / Is that all good deeds are \ When looked at with an ice-cold eye? \ If that's all good deeds are \ Maybe that's the reason why"

And, of course, the iconic "Fiyrero!" riff but replace it with "Padmè!"

Again, Anakin's feelings when Palpatine starts sinking his claws into him:

"No good deed goes unpunished / Sure, I meant well \ Well, look at what well-meant did"

And then, we've got when Anakin begins to turn to the Dark Side:

"Since I can not succeed / [Padmè], saving you / I promise no good deed / Will I attempt to do again, ever again!"

And then to top it all off, THIS line, because it just fits when Anakin fully becomes Vader:

"All right, enough / So be it, so be it then / Let all of [the galaxy] be agreed / I'm wicked through and through!'

The PARALLELS!?

On the topic of songs that are perfect for Mission: Impossible and Benthan angst, I present to you: "No Good Deed" from Wicked.

( Ethan is singing, Benji is Fiyero - or, for more angst and pain, the other way around. )
