History YMMV / DarthBane

* EvilIsSexy: Githany and Zannah. Githany plays it up more, actively using her sexuality as a weapon (and much page time is spent elaborating on her beauty and sexiness), but Zannah's pretty attractive herself, and not above playing the seduction game if it advances her goals.

* HilariousInHindsight: The aforementioned fan theory about the end of ''Dynasty of Evil'' in light of part of ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker'': [[spoiler:[[FanNickname Undead Sewer Zombie Palpatine]] tells Rey flat-out that if/when she [[StrikeMeDownWithAllOfYourHatred strikes him down in anger]], he'll pull a GrandTheftMe on her.]]

* NightmareFuel: The Thought Bomb. A highly destructive Dark Side power that not only vaporize every force user caught in the radius, but it also shreds their souls and traps them in an orb, leaving them in constant agony.

** Zannah also has such a moment [[spoiler:after torturing her cousin to madness and using him to deflect attention from the Sith]], though for some other readers it's when she [[spoiler:destroys another woman's mind with her sorcery just because the woman was a romantic rival]].

** Bane crosses this for most when he kills a couple of children to survive, though readers still like him. So it's more a KickTheDog or IDidWhatIHadToDo moment. Zannah also has such a moment [[spoiler:after torturing her cousin to madness and using him to deflect attention from the Sith]], though for some other readers it's when she [[spoiler:destroys another woman's mind with her sorcery just because the woman was a romantic rival]].
** Zannah arguably crosses it when she uses her Sith sorcery to [[MindRape utterly destroy Cyndra's mind]]. Sure, Cyndra may have been an AssholeVictim, but not enough of one to deserve a FateWorseThanDeath.

* EpilepticTrees: Karpyshyn intended for it to be clear that [[spoiler: Zannah won the duel at the end of ''Dynasty of Evil'' and fought off Bane's possession attempt]], but it didn't take. Subsequently, fans theorized that not only had [[spoiler: Bane succeeded in taking over Zannah's body]], but that he had repeated the process since with ''every Sith apprentice down to Sidious''. ''Film/RiseOfSkywalker'' added some fuel to this speculative fire, what with Palpatine's claim to be "all the Sith."
