I'm glad shes also good at using the laser gun after she figures out how it works

My tiny monkey brain would be so confused if the main character wasn't absolutely amazing at everything she tries. It was dumb when Han Solo dies she should have brought him back to life with the force and then went back in time and killed Kylo Ren and blew up the Starkiller before it was even made. Also she'd say some cool line while doing it.

It worked though. Once you've got diversity and feminism in your flick it will be almost illegal to say anything bad about it.

Like fury road, it's one of the worst movies I've ever seen, but it's praised by all critics and some people will attack you if you say anything bad about it.

Yes. It's probably coming in the next movie.

I think they tried to give her a hard-ass debonair vine that Princess Leia had ( you know, for poetry's sake) but failed and only made her some strong womyn whose character was built around her being a strong womyn,

I didn't understand how she was such a good pilot, did she have any previous in flight experience? It looked like she had been on the planet since she was like 6 and obviously wasn't very mechanically gifted. just look at the shithole of a house she was living in

Now she has to learn the obvious truth that Luke is her father. Gotta get in the "No, I am your father" line because it's like poetry. The question is where the fuck does the story go from here now that the New Order/Empire has been completely destroyed (again)?
>>
>>63820937
she literally can use that blaster better than most of the storm troopers who you would have assumed had been trained how to use them. storm troopers fire over 1000000 shots at her and misses every single time. fires blaster twice and headshot
>>
>>63820937
>/tv/ complains she's a mary sue who's good at everything
No, partly true but not really. She was a scavenger, she atleast knows how to rumble. But suddenly mastering force persuasion and reaching RoTJ Luke's skill in lightsaber prowess is just bullshit and you know it. She might as well have casted force lightning.
>>
>>63820857
her character having that kind of mindset despite growing up in a shithole was inherently implausible. that's not how you'd write that character.

it was a failure to match form with content making the character inherently crappy.
>>
>>63821101
The persuasion scene was dumb, but I felt like it wasn't her that was amazing with a lightsaber, but kylo who was all around weak. He had a tough time just fighting one stormtrooper with a saber
>>
>>63820777
The thing is that Mad Max was not feminist crap. Furiosa is a hard bitch and she handles herself really well, but the thing is she wouldn't have gotten even past the canyon without max. And Max would be hunted down and killed without Furiosa. THEY NEEDED EACH OTHER. Two survivors in this struggle against the baddies.

Now Star Wars... Rea can fly ships she never flew, escape from captivity easily, learn force powers practically through hacks, disarm and defeat a sith in training (first time with saber), and so on. Finn is kinda there. I really can't think of a single time Finn was of ANY use.

In short, Furiosa and Max: Coop Adventure. Rea and Finn: Mary sue and Jar Jar lite.
>>
There wasn't any character development or arc for her. She's already a badass at the start of the movie and ended the movie as a badass. At the very least, they could have had her lose the lightsaber fight to Kylo so she realizes she isn't as great as she thinks she is. That way she has a reason to go see Luke for training.
>>
>>63821239
>The thing is that Mad Max was not feminist crap.
Tell that to the feminists. They're the ones who will poke your eyes out for not liking it.
>>
>>63821101
how on earth did she know that jedi's could use the persuasion technique in the first place. Jedi's are a complete myth to her.
>>
>>63821288
maybe she should have a scar on her face at least after the fight. It seems totally unbelievable that she grew up on a desert planet where each day was a constant fight for survival withut so much as a tan and a perfectly clean outfit/skin
>>
>>63821289
Feminists can think whatever the crap they want, they obviously don't understand the movie. Which is fucking sad considering the movie had VERY basic plot and character elements and was generally focused on the action.

If you hate it because you think its feminist crap, your wrong. If you like it because you think its feminist crap, you are wrong.
>>
>>63821344
At the very least the fight could have been a stalemate! Then make number 2 a win for the sith, then 3 the light prevails. Simple shit.
>>
>>63821383
I hate it because it's a piece of shit. There's nothing to understand. Stop trying to make a shitty mindless action movie some form of high art.

What made you hate mad max?
>>
>A New Hope
Luke is a poor moisture farmer who wants to become a pilot. He knows nothing of the real world and without Obi-Wan would have gotten captured and/or killed in under a minute. As the movie progresses, we see him become more confident as he learns new techniques. At the end of the movie, he uses what he learned to save the day and destroy the Death Star.

>The Force Awakens
Rey is a scavenger who knows how to fight and can take care of herself. Han Solo shows up and tells her about the Force, which she instantly masters without any training. At the end of the movie, she wins a lightsaber fight against someone who has been training for 25+ years in the ways of the Force and lightsaber fighting because she's just inherently so much better than everyone else.

One is an actual character, the other is a Mary Sue.
>>
What's with all the sassy characters in kid movies/shows? When my niece and nephew are watching a cartoon, it's always a sassy character being full of him/herself and knowing better.
>>
isn't literally the entire point of this scene to show that despite rey's talents she's still pretty cocky? han has seen this shit before - young, talented, thinks too much of themselves, gets themselves killed - that's why he's giving her a blaster.

when she tells him she can look after herself, he acknowledges that she can and that's why he's helping her. and of course she'd initially turn down a blaster - finn literally complains about there being no blasters during that chase scene at the beginning, so it makes sense that she'd rather stick to what she knew. she's not a blue haired feminist you retards it's literally just staying consistent with the character

and as for her being able to use a blaster after a couple of shots with it and this somehow making her a mary sue, i'm sorry but have you never seen a movie before? you can't break the flow of the film with a fuckin week long training scene with daisy ridley running in a fucking swamp with han on her back doing backflips and shooting shit, she's just got to do it on the fly - better for the movie structurally

but of course you faggots are just looking for an excuse to be contrarian and hate on the movie so i guess this post won't change anything
>>
>>63821576
The fact that it's a bad movie? It's non-stop sloppy mindless action and explosions. It's nicely made from a technical perspective, but the movie itself is shit.

I think they should have used one of those passage of time things between th point that rey meets han to when she is captured they literately have two lines to each other before they are separated. then she becomes so distraught over hans death and then consoles leia about it they barely fucking knew each other

it's really not that hard to shoot shit mang

as for the lightsaber battle, we see in the beginning that she knew how to handle herself with that stick thing and Kylo was wounded like 18 times before they fought.

I agree she is a Mary Sue. However, there are some clues that she was trained in the Force before she was left in the planet and simply forgot.
>>
>>63821851
>implying that rey is two dimensional

literally everything she does in the final act is seeded earlier in the movie you thick fuck
>>
>>63821905
Yes, because Luke became a jedi master the moment he picked up a lightsaber and crushed darth vader in the very first fight with him, right?

But no it's ok for Rey because she's a woman who don't need no man.
>>
>>63821606
It is a kid's and women's power fantasy. They like to pretend they can handle themselves because they are being told what to do all the time.

meanwhile, that fight against kylo ren was stacked against him from the beginning, makes sense that she could defeat him

nobody's doing well in this fight man, both rey and kylo are basically just kids fighting in this one

by ep8 then we might see a legit fight
>>
>>63822034
>no but he held his own
After he trained with yoda and still had his arm chopped off. Rey easily defeated Kylo Ren.

Seriously what the fuck is wrong with you? Let me guess, you're a feminist, right? That's the only reason why you would defend this cardboard cutout of a character.

The aiming hud did most of the work despite Ghost Kenobi talking to him. Also he was fortunate enough to be the front of a suicide run while porkins and red cucks that were standing by had the misfortune of being his meat shield. Also literally saved by Han while getting gunned down by Vader. Luke was useless shit that did one thing by himself and still needed fucking help.

You can't be serious. Has feminist indoctrination melted your brain?

She'll quip her way from strart to finish, defeating every man in her path with all of the emotion of a robot. Kennedy and Abrams will not understand that a character's bravery and admiribality comes from their vulnerability. They will not understand that a character arc is completely unsatisfying if said character was already an invulnerable mary sue to begin with.

Unless they perform some major backtracking, the only place left to take her character is over to the dark side and Kylo the other way.

Which will almost certainly happen.
>>
>>63821754
Fuck, Even after his development as Jedi Master, he needed his own dad's help to take out the emperor. I guess i don't blame you for not having seen the original trilogy because it didn't have enough 3D effects and quips for you, but if there's one thing you can never say about Luke is that he's a fucking Gary Stu.

Boyega should have been the Protagonist and Rey some exiled Jedi with a questionable past.
>>
>>63822089
I don't defend Rey but Kylo. He has a stomach wound. Obviously he would have been outmatched by a small kid. I still think it wa sstupi to show him defeated at the end of the first movie, but there is no reason to think he lost out of weakness and not out of a wound to the stomach.

I can't wait for the Big Bang Theory writing material this movie will bring. I can see it now, whole episode about Sheldon and gang mourning the loss of Han Solo. Penny will just insert her opinion they're over-reacting overreacting, "Lol, it's just a movie!" in which Leonard will turn around with questioned response "JUST a movie?!", they'll need the ambulance on standby for all the stitches the audience will need for their sides. Then they try holding a whole funeral over a movie character and then as Sheldon gives a eulogy in honor of Han, he'll go into detail in EU stuff, which Howard would interrupt, "that's not canon!"

>>
>>63826107
What's your point? Kenobi had life long training from Qui Gon and Yoda.

"I think I can handle myself" literally made no sense in the context of the scene or the time in the movie. It was in there for the same reason "we've got one!" and "stop holding my hand" was in there.
>>
>>63826183
Because it shows she's cocky and wrong constantly. She needed the blaster and Han figured she would. Even then she couldn't handle herself.

A little after the "holding my hand" quip she literally grabs Boyega's to escape.

Those lines and shots are obviously there to appease the part of the audience that gives a fuck about the feminism and whatnot, but it could have been so much worse and obtrusive than it was.
>>
>>63826183
>>63826310
There was literally no reason for that line to be there other than to be this jab at the Original Trilogy for not having genderfluid otherkins in a space opera series or something. As if They thought Leia was acting as a Damsel in the entire trilogy or something?
