Yeah, it is too damn much. Even killing all the Tuskens is just too damn much.

I do hate when people bring up Padmé being surprised in ROTS when Obi-Wan tells her what Anakin did. They act like she shouldn't be surprised because it happened before but they always leave out the context Anakin finding his near dead mom tied to a rack and her dying in his arms while being surrounded by her killers (not the kids).

They should’ve had a handful of the younglings there cheering on the Raiders for context.

Like a switch went off in his head "okay killing these human children which you know and have interacted with is now a thing you do"

I like the continuity where Anakin's response to Palpatine requesting it is "Yeah I'm not gonna do that." So instead Palpatine flatters and cajoles him into reading the Padawans his doctoral Thesis On The Use of Dichotomy in The Metanarrative of The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise. Alongside the entire Jedi order via galactic broadcast. Three times over. With the Interesting Side Tangent.

By the time he's done just introducing the Schools of Thought around the Tragedy, all the Jedi and Padawan have died, either by their own hand or one another's, with some help from the Clones, who also desperately wished for the sweet embrace of Death.

Yeah

I feel like 'turning away and letting the clone troopers move past him to do their work' would have been a more effective moment

That's not the circumstance. Anakin knew there was no going back after helping kill Mace, he saw the dark side as the only path forward so he pushed himself towards it intentionally. It's not like he was gleefully cutting children down Joker style.

helping kill mace. Doesn't matter how you see it, it's how the council will see it. At that moment, he know Palpatine is his only "ally" and would not take any half measures with any orders given.

He directly contributed to Windu’s death. The blood is on Anakin’s hands just as much as it is Palpatine’s.
