Oh, and a liar and TR8-T0R. Forgot about that one.

He makes really good insert character.

He's basically a poor man's Han Solo. Most people aren't charming enough to insert themselves into Han Solo, but at least they can put themselves in Finn's shoes. He's a decent shot, but ultimately he's just a somewhat average guy caught up in a freaky tiki space world.
>>
He played himself. Small time guy who takes a chance and doesn't give up, and gets a big break, all the while everyone else in the galaxy shittalks from their couch secretly wishing they did something with their lives.

Who cares. He's a good guy who got a lucky break in Hollywood and his character is much the same. People need better hobbies!

literally should have been the protagonist

>>63974367
John is a professional actor who has done Shakespeare on stage, you're talking about Daisy Ridley.
>>
>>63974069
The saddest part is if he had just been played by a white actor but kept all the same characterization, not a single person would complain about him and Rey having a romance plot.
Abrams just had to be progressive and make him black making people rage and now Finn gets friendzoned for Poe most likely.
>>
>>63974563

Seems more like a friendship than a romance.
I feel like they're going for a different route, the two protagonists having a romance seems played out.
>>
>>63974069

I'm black. My favorite character in all the Star Wars movies is Luke Skywalker by far.

Some of my friends went nuts when they heard about Finn and saw him wielding a lightsaber. Being a Star Wars fan, I knew to keep my expectations for him low. They got pissed when they found out he was always scared, ran away, and wasn't force sensitive or owner of the lightsaber. I could tell one of them was raging in the theater when he was choking for water and started drinking out of the same thing the alien beast was drinking from. I think it upset them.

I know a lot of you are racist (or playing around with the racist comments), but think of this from a little African American's perspective. They really made him weak and lame imo.

The movie kinda sucked I thought. I don't even know why Finn was in there or needed when Rey seemingly did it all. I also think it was a mistake to have Poe disappear in the beginning. He should have been with them on Jakku in the beginning like in ANH with Luke, Leia and Han. That way, you'd have a pilot with Poe and Rey wouldn't be this Mary Sue type character. All the tasks could be divided between the three characters, just like in the Original Trilogy.
>>
>>63975816
I agree. If Poe was there to pilot Rey still could have been a knowledgeable parts person and her character wouldn't have suffered a bit. Let her be some crazy god beast after Luke's training, as she is now there's less room for her to grow than she should have had.
>>
If his job was sanitation, then why was he on Jakku? Shouldn't he have been back on Starkiller Base with a mop and a bucket?
>>
>>63974563
There was no romance plot between Rey and Finn.

Also I think you're overestimating how many people actually give a shit about this.
>>
>>63977298
He said it was his first battle. It seems like he changed jobs either voluntarily or involuntarily somewhat recently before the time of the film.
>>
He's the "comedic relief"
>>
>>63975816
same here, black and love Luke the most, he was he's a small town (deserted town) kid with every reason to be discarded into obscurity like the rest of the insignificance in the universe, instead he humbly evolves into the pinnacle of legend. The way they made Finn look it looked like he too could have a blossoming legacy of becoming Jedi, instead when you really look at it, the production made him a quasi serious/courageous clown lol and ultimately insignificant, id rather Windu, even though he barely got screen time he had some kind of profound legacy outside the movies, but yea anyways it hurt me but at the same time it literally takes a sliver of my mind its a movie mates
>>
>>63979423

I figured black guys would prefer Lando to Windu. Sure he's kind of a dick in Empire but he's a way better character and is actually relevant. Hell, he pilots the damn Millennium Falcon in ROTJ.
>>
>>63975816
>>63976886

Poe was originally supposed to be killed off in the very beginning of the movie. I think that might be part of the reason he had such little screen time. JJ changed his mind after speaking with Oscar Isaac and decided he wanted him for the long haul, but I think the script was mostly written at that point.
>>
The whole plan is to do this:

>on the surface pretend to glorify niggers so white people get angry at them

>on the substance, to make niggers seem pathetic as OP describes

>nigs are too dumb to see the second level of things

>entire generation of white children resent Finn, don't buy his toy, keep hoping Rey will not touch him
>>
>>63974270
yeah he would have made the superior protaganist

>>63980849

This, Poe's destiny is to fuck Rey in the next movie. Finn is gonna get cucked very, very hard.

Just kidding. I agree with everything you said man, Luke being the best, Finn being weak, Rey being overpowered, not enough Poe, etc.

This movie is fine on the first viewing, I wouldn't say it sucks. On subsequent viewings, man is it sloppy.

I didn't love Finn but I'll take him as a believable, flawed character over Marey Sue anyday.

your right Lando redeems himself and proves to be a cool likeable character and is played by the goat Billy dee but he aint no jedi aha

>>
>>63981468
>poe and Rey

nah. It'll be Poe and Finn. Rey will spend the majority of the next movie off training with Skywalker, similar to Luke and Yoda in Empire.

In the meantime, that "guy love" between Poe and Finn will develope into "gay love" as Poe helps Finn deal with a broken heart.

Some one has to clean up (burn the bodies) so you might as well give them a blaster as well.
>>
Finn had a great setup that they squandered and just used him as yet another plot device. the whole movie is pointless plot devices that move the story along. it has no actual plot of its own.

thats why everything is so convenient in this movie when it should have flowed with purpose instead.
>>
its so the mary sue can shine more
>>
>>63974069
He's working/being controlled by Snork

He will overcome it and reveal important information around the end of the next movie when Rey figures out how to combat Snuks ability to control life
>>
>>63982258

Finn has potential in Episode VIII since he won't be tied down by MaRey Sue and will be free to pursue his bromance with Poe.

Finn will be one of the force users luke was training. However do to all this whacky hijinks and being a nub at the force he is not effective
>>
Maybe he's supposed to be a combination of Lando (pals with Poe) and Jar Jar (left his community and scared) or maybe just to serve as a replacement for C3PO.

Jar Jar was apparently supposed to be inspired by the movie and poem Gunga Din.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunga_Din

Interestingly, Finn's name happens to rhyme with 'Din' while also has a name that brings to mind the book Huckleberry Finn which has significant racial themes.

>This is actually the moment I started liking his character.

Quads.

It's the moment I realised he was gonna get humiliated throughout the movie and niggers won't even notice.

White nerdy racism rejoyced.
>>
concept art for the character "john doe" in Arndt's script in the art book is a dark skinned guy with a turban. These are two basic similarities in appearance to Gunga Din. Although the book says he is similar to Poe. His manner of dress is more similar to Rey's though. Rey has a hat with cloth on it and scrappy looking clothing. She was also on a desert planet like he appears to be.

He's my favorite character in the movie. He's going to be boring as fuck in the sequels when they decide that becoming a badass=character arc.

>>63983790
>He has no problem fighting against his former First Order comrades. It's more that he has a conscience than he's a coward.

He's a bit of a coward in the everyday sort of way we all are. When confronted with shit that's above his head he just wants to do the easiest thing, which is run the fuck away.

>No, he shows himself to be pretty capable. He supposedly had top ranks in training, with demerits only for being overly concerned for his troops. Phasma hoped to make an officer out of him.

I don't remember that from the movie. Sounds like some marketing/EU bullshit where they strip out all the characters flaws to make him a better action figure.
>>
>>63974396
Kill or be killed.

But these were kids once too, who also lost families. Kids who don't get to see them ever again. Kids who were worked by fear to kill the Resistance or suffer the consequences. Kids who didn't get to learn the good side and have the life they were meant to have.
Nah fuck 'em. This Finn dude is cool with that light stick. Keep swingin' Johnny.

Poe isn't white and he's not proud of himself whatsoever he acknowledges that he's going to run, he only pretends to be a part of the Resistance to get off Jakku and to get Rey to like him but she doesn't like him until he's honest with her.

They honestly should have just made Finn the protagonist. He's much better written, isn't a mary sue like Rey, has flaws that you'd actually want to be overcome, and could be a black Kyle Katarn.

The next episode needs to be about him and his ace pilot bro Poe, Rey can't be redeemed at this point
>>
Why was he so animated and full of personality? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate having a lively character, but it didn't make any sense here.

He's been "programmed" from birth to be a soldier. He didn't even have a name. His character would have been totally fine if his backstory had been him being just an ordinary guy who joined the army for whatever generic reason.
>>
>>63987723

Smells of 48 laws of power and vitriol.

Its like everyone forgets about Lando kissing leias hand and han grabbing her away in the OT during his scene opening and introduction. Movie-goers back then were not feeling that shit one bit, and when han got turned into a coffee table whites were crying and shitting thier pants due to preceded notions and where the plot would go next, especially after lando broke out leia and chewie.

Yet things worked out in the end. Its to scare the audience, to trigger emotion in any form, support or hate, to raise interest. Similar to horror movies and the impending sense to go into a scenario to purposely scare yourself star wars has done this before.

But this time we have the
>Oh c'mon like, its 2015-
peanut-gallery we call millennials so we have to double down on the trigger by giving them something to fight.

>I bet you cant make me like niggers! i Fucking bet you cant I'm a huge racist you cant even touch me Im impenetrable hahah just try faggot.

We live in a hyper-aware society, manipulation and ulterior motives are a joke just due to everyone anticipating the sleazy "Devils advocate" junkie pretending to tolerate something to take advantage of the situation.

And thats why Finns black in the movie. Same shit happened in the OT, been there done that bought the t-shirt.
>>

Because their filthy imperials who deserve to die, he knows first hand that they wouldn't hesitate to kill him, why should he hesitate to kill them? It's not like the storm troopers had any moral quandary with killing him.

I'm white and I actually like Finn, he's relatable, has some pretty funny moments, and he also seems to have some pretty good motives, and I like the fact that he's actually just a regular guy who got caught up in some fucked up shit, I hope he plays a bigger role in the next movies and actually does something.

No. Of the 6" figures him, Poe and random ayy lmaos are the only ones you can find. For the 3.75" it's just ayy lmaos.
I had a Kylo in my hand before the movie and put him back. Probably should have bought him.
>>
I thought he was supposed to have shit tier social interaction skills (pulling people's arm rather than communicating, "im not telling you im telling myself", "why are you making that movement? im trying to come up with a plan") but in the end I think it was just for the gag of it.

I enjoyed him solely for the comedic moments, but he and Rey seem to be extremely shit together, Rey is do-everything while he is just carried around. Seemed like someone went and said "OK Rey, you'll handle the plot and other serious shit. Finn, you handle the family fun laughs, have your complimentary robot for any shenanigan you need!"

>>63984229
If they did a big reveal in the next movie, showing that Finn was an actual monster before making his final decision to turn his coat it would redeem him a lot. At the moment there is a big hole where his motivation and the source of his skill should be, how could a lowly Sanitation trooper be selected for part of a death squad raid? Not only that, Phasma and Co say that Finn has never had psyche problems before. Could it be that Finn is lying to everybody and is actually an elite soldier? It would explain why Captain Phasma transfers Finn to her own unit to oversee him personally. Why would an elite trooper take an interest in a janitor like that?

There had better be a lot more to Finn.

But Finn pretty much unwillingly pushes the whole thing along. He helps poe escape so he can run, he gets bb8 to the resistance just because he thought he'd be safe there, and he keys the resistance in on how to blow up the starkiller because he needed help savig Rey. I don't think a character that switched sides during the conflict has happened in star wars besides Vader so it was pretty well done.

>>63988101
Imagine if you're whole life you've been locked in a cage, wanting to get out. Then the door opens.

You're either going to be too afraid to leave or you are going to go apeshit.

Finn wasn't just a blank trooper with no knowledge of anything besides duty, he was kidnapped as a youth and raised as a trooper. His emotions would have been suppressed but not erased.

As some other anons from /tv/ said, the movie felt like one big setup for the sequels than a strong movie on its own. I thought that Finn would've been better off if he buggered off to another planet as is his original plan and come back in the next sequel since clearly the focus of most of it was on Han Solo and Rae.

I don't know, they're just both lacking. The pilot guy and TR8R was more memorable than him.

I liked Finn. I wasn't expecting Lando Calrissian/Mace Windu though, so my expectations weren't for super awesome black guy who can do errythang. He was fallible, he was human. I thought he made an excellent foil to Rey (Poe in my opinion was a complete non-character) and I enjoyed scenes with the two of them and BB-8.

If only the villains didn't suck balls I would have enjoyed the movie a lot more.
>>
>>63990052
You can have tons provided you can equally give each of them something the audience can root for, besides being "the protagonist". X-Men 1-2 are good examples of that, though they still linger towards showing Hugh Jackman above most other key characters.

Supreme Leader didn't DO anything particularly interesting for me. Tonfa Stormtrooper was cool but I kept thinking "why isn't this Captain Phasma actually doing this to give the scene more weight for Finn?"

I could easily see breaking down the antagonists like this:

Ren -> Rey's Antagonist
Phasma -> Finn's Antagonist
Hux -> Fuck him
Snoke -> Not appearing in this movie to hopefully get a better name.
>>
>>63990269
I speculate that Phasma's going to go rogue out of shame or switch on over to the good guys.

Not black, but I love John Boyega as an actor.

How his character was written was what made upset, not overly, but I felt as if they wasted so much potential that could've gone to him.

I thought the whole stormtrooper angle was interesting, but to make him not force sensitive and get his ass handed repeatedly was kind of weak.

I don't know if I was the only one, but did it seem they wrote his dialogue to be a stereotypical young black male vernacular?

The Force

>>
>>63990717
It was. At one point he was like, "droid please" but he said it the same way you would say "nigga please." Half the black people in the theater I was in called it how when it happened. That wasn't the only thing they were saying lol.
>>
>>63990717
I'm sad they turned him into comic relief instead of exploring how messed up he would be emotionally. Hopefully they touch on it in the next movie
>>
>>63990812
called it out*
>>
>>63990865
Cause Boyega is a great actor, I mean look at his other stuff that he's done. He certainly has the visual acting down, and I mean you can definitely see his acting coming out with his movements and body language and his face.

I feel bad a bit for Daisy Ridley, she is also stuck with a static character who just kicks ass and has no flaws. I honestly want to know if they made Finn such a wimp to make Rey look even better.
>>
>>63989567
nah
>>
Droid please? That's some racist writing there. Honestly what they made the character of finn in this movie is almost lucas tier racism but I still like finn.
>>
>>63990812
Yea that line was particularly uncomfortable. Pretty fucked up especially considering it's not necessarily a phrase an English actor would be familiar with and it's possible boyega didn't get the reference. He probably did though but what was he gonna do? Quit?
>>
>>63989280
I like this and I hope it happens. I got a different impression from the movie, though. Finn was a Sanitation worker for most of his career. I think the Jaku raid was his first mission. That's why he had the panic attack afterwards, he was still green.
>>
>>63979058
For this kind of film, i think BB8 is more of a comedic part than finn.
>>
>>63991512
Yeah that line was so weird and I immediately got the reference, can't believe it made it through to the final cut.

>>63979423
being black Fin's character can have a unique impact on you that white people have felt after many decades ruling the sci fi genre. Right now you are disappointed in Fin as a reflection of your race represented in sci fi, but if they do it right over the next two movies you'll get to see him overcome a lot of shit maybe with some charm and feel this overwhelming sense of relatable pride if he can become a household name in the genre. Kind of how people originally felt about Luke until race issues made their way into sci fi film.

reminds me of Farcry 3 where the main character is some shitty dudebro you dont want to be playing as at forst but as the game goes on he starts to change into a serious killer and you like him more towards the end going along with him on the journey

There are no white, black, mexican, indian, korean, japanese, russian, slavic, romanian, lebanese, etc. etc. etc. people in the SW universe. They are all aliens that have a mythical force/virus inside them.

Finn was the most realistic and funniest character in the movie. Also one of if not the best performance. Get fucked. Rey and Leia were terrible, and Han was just okay. Episode 8 should just be finn and poe

People like you are worse than the average 4channer. Requiring a character of your color to be cool or you get offended. I'm white and I'm not bitching about literally every white guy besides Han being a fucking nazi. The characters were good. Finn was good. He actually had an arc going from cowardly to brave. Hes the only character with an arc, and also the most believable. If you weren't a race obsessed faggot you would see that.

Got back from seeing this

People blow Rey's Mary sue-ness way out of proportion

It made complete sense in context. She was trained a bit as a little girl, and when Kylo went bungling around in her brain he accidentally tore down the walls Luke had put in place before leaving, causing all her training(But not the memories associated perhaps) to come rushing back. That, coupled with her huge raw potential being the daughter of the greatest Jedi who ever lived, totally explains her abilities.

Also, they built up Chewie's bowcaster as being the bossnigger of blasters the whole movie, literally blowing people fucking away and 10 feet into the air. It isn't unreasonable that a non-force user and an untrained jedi could hold their own against Kylo after taking one of those bolts to the gut.

im not sure about the injury, pain and rage can fuel siths. his fight with the two were like the episode 5 and 6 fights mashed into one. in the finn fight hes all cocky, gets cut in the shoulder and then woops finn. then in the rey fight hes beating her until she gives into the force just like when luke gave into his rage and she beats him. its absolute pottery

This. Fucking this!

>>63990165
FUCK ... Why didn't they get Jon Snow for Kylo?? He looks way more like Han and Leia's son, and not the a son of Napoleon Dynamite.

>>63996879
Well they only had budget for one GoT actor and they spent it all on Phasma.

Not to mention how the saber battle in the end suited the shit out of Jon Snow. I mean it's snowing, he has a longsword looking saber and he's wearing black with a cape and all and just did the "we are the men of the night's watch" stab on Han fucking Solo.
>>
>>63974069
That is why he is a good character. He has plenty of flaws and is relateable. He is basically a normal guy thrust into this fucked up world where he is ordered to massacre a village by a crazy evil space wizard. His response "Nah fuck this shit, I'm out"
>>
>>63975816
But Finn is great. Are black people genuinely upset that their representative on the screen isn't a perfect badass and is instead an interesting and likeable character? Fuck there is no pleasing you.
>>
>>63997233
Its more like some not loving the perspective that he is basically comic relief the character and at times is a sterotype.
>droid please
> gets keked by literally everyone

I mean they aren't wrong he does get wrecked and in terms of growth doesn't progress much other than not being a pussy and going back for Rey.

The criticism isn't major but its there.

I'm pretty sure he just said "droid please" in a pleading way like you would say to a droid you are begging to do something. Unfortunately there is no convenient way to rewatch the scene to prove you oversensitive pussies wrong.

>Half the black people in the theater I was in called it how when it happened. That wasn't the only thing they were saying lol.

The acting was good for what it was, but yeah his character bothered me. I get not wanting to massacre a village of unarmed people, but he was still a little bitch that didn't fire his weapon once, despite being in an intense firefight with people literally out to kill him. But then he has no problem massacring the people he grew up with, including throwing his commander in a fucking garbage chute, even after she covered for him.

He's a boastful, lying nigger who got what he deserved when Ren fucked his shit up.
