My ONLY complaint with this movie was that they made Finn a nervous scaredy bitch for 90% of the time.

Anyone else agree?

Yes, and if he doesn't get a lightsaber I'm gonna be dissapointed as hell. Every time he tried to use it on the movie just felt ten times better than Rey and her blatant jedi pro hax

Honestly it's not because Dindu the Stormtrooper was black. It feels like other than fighting he had no skills to play with during character interactions, it feels like Rey pretty much took all the character skills and Finn is just there for the ride rather than say being an expert mechanic or pilot which would play into character interactions.
>>
>>64022722
bad casting overall.

there are thousands of black actors with better charisma/appereance than that nigger faggot that they casted

Kylo Ren.. what the fuck... he is the kid that would shoot up his high school IRL, unstable, scrawny, lanky, faggot
-villain has to be somewhat admirable and threatning to be taken seriously, they portrayed him as emo teen with anger problems
also I doubt that was anyhow actors fault, I bet he couldve acted it out better, but still lack of looks for the role would be present

That bitch... oh obligatory strong female character, how Star Wars is bad at stealing Star Wars content, they made Leia
be strong, upstanding, non-bitchy leader and then they make this fucking slut.. jesus almighty.

Pilot... no real problem there except dialogue, what the fuck. Why did they try to make this movie to be so much like Guardians
of Galaxy. fuckers

well I could go more into detail but fuck it, its not worth the time. the movie is disgrace for both Abrams and Star Wars as a whole
>>
>>64022994
oh yeah and also general bullshiting.
Anakin was fucking training blindfolded (yeah that anakin who is supposedly the strongest jedi/sith in the whole history of force)
against some fuckass droid and fucking all his training was portrayed as something hard. Then nig and bitch come to lightsaber
and fuck up everyone like no problem. ye, not gonna buy that shit

and eventhough I liked that they made Force to be something more action packed.. still they portrayed it formerly in original tri and prequels as something more of... way of life, philosophy, heremtic fucking boogaroo. so if you make it like this once
you better fucking stick to it, I cant stitch these 7 movies together in my head however I try.
>>
No i enjoyed that. It's a believable part of his character. My only complaint is the weapon beam moves super fast and somehow people in other systems are able to watch it in real time.
>>
Is Finn evil?

The super tall evil dude said something about completing training. Now whether that was directed toward Hans son or Finn, I'm not sure.

If George did try to go the Jar Jar is actually evil route, but backed out, whats to say that they didn't go this route with Finn?

Finn was taken from his parents, so living in the army the entire time, he had nothing to let go of. But now with Rey, he has something to turn on to complete his training.
>>
>>64022722
Finn was my favourite of the new main 3
Poe was a cool a character but I'm not sure how exactly he can develop
Rey beating Kylo down like that really sort of ruined her character, and I'd really liked her until that point
If the theory about her being a memory wiped jedi is true then I'll get over it and the scene will work for me, but as part of a standalone film that scene feels out of place
Finn was the most relatable, not particularly special but not an incompetent comedy relief character either
desu I'm most interested to see where the next film goes with Kylo, he's by far the best thing about this new film
>>
so /tv/ actually likes his character? Before the movie was released everyone was screaming about 'muh niggers' but now people seem to like him and their only complaint is that he was scared during the whole movie

Yeah, but if you remember at the end of episode 1, there was talk of a second sith. And there was talk of master and apprentice.

At the end of this movie, there was talk about training completion.
Finn could also be training as well as Kylo.
>>
>>64023650
Finn was a bumbling fool character and since /tv/ is full of losers, of course. Losers love losers.

That's why /tv/ hates Rey because she is strong, successful and great at everything unlike most people here.
>>
>>64023974
That general dude was literally asking what to do with Ren. And Snoke said to bring him to him to complete training.

I can't recall if it was shown in Empire but it definitely was in Return of the Jedi.

He is supposed to be the relatable one

Finns a bit on the dark side

He's being manipulated by Snoke. Kylo knows this and it's why he paid attention to him and even knows his trooper number.

It was his story arc, though. Character development. He goes from nervous and eager to run, to willing to fight to protect people.

I would also like this. I don't think it was suggested he had Force ability, but he definitely had the skill necessary to wield a lightsaber and I'd like to see him get his own.

What do you expect?

Finn is a newbie stormtrooper. He's never seen battle before. In his first battle, he just couldn't handle the carnage. Prior to that, he worked sanitation. He's a decent shot, but when it comes down to it he's not exactly a warrior.

He's just a guy who just wanted to escape the war. He's probably the most believable character in the flick. His character flaws are what makes him so endearing. Unlike Rey, he's not the "Chosen One", he's a guy who got caught along for a ride, but decided to stay on because of his friends.

He had some badass moments, like when he faced off against Tray Tor and fought Darth Edgelord, but he never feels completely broken like Rey the "Literally Female Space Jesus".
>>
>>64025767

Honestly I wish they did more with Phasma.

Pretty much this.

I honestly ended up liking Finn.

Rey on the other hand, was indeed pure Mary Sue, and nothing more.


Also Kylo was pretty good. Just for God's sake, never take off your helmet again!

And got dumped into the trash. Seriously they kind of wasted her character. Hopefully she does more in the sequel.

My biggest complaint was that Finn was a thing at all.
>>
>>64025940
>never take off your helm
why do people have an issue with his look? he's a young guy, still learning the dark side. He's at the same level that Annakin was when he started to question the Jedi.

I'm sure by film 3 he'll be some rugged, leg missing, monster that everyone wants him to be.

I think his looks really help compliment his insecurities. He tries to look confident and badass, but even he knows he looks pathetic. Thus his helment and outfit are infinitely more badass looking.

He's basically the Draco Malfoy of the series.

The most unsettling thing in the movie for me was how the film treated Finn's "awakening".

People here are saying he was a newbie, that he simply pussied out, but historically is that even an option for stormtroopers? With the presentation of the data about his history with passing psychological evaluations it felt as if they were implying that all stormtroopers were as mechanical as the clones from the prequels-- regimented, a factor that was only added to in consideration of the codenames.

Off all that I read the opening scene as The Force awakening in that motherfucker, eerily, for some dark ass purpose, that seems beneficial and light, but allows an air of ambiguity as to the true nature of Finn's existence. Who the fuck is this guy, what are his motives, and how is he truly the first stormtrooper we've seen to be capable of human traits?

He's a literal contradiction to everything the menace of the Empire is meant to stand for. He obtains personality. He's also Black

I'm hoping for some kind of First Order Sith reveal from him, some kind of sleeper cell shit, but expecting the same run-of-the-mill "he was just overtaken by the power of light" bullshit that this movie was constructed upon.
>>
>Cast a storm trooper as a main character
>His character arc isn't about him shaking off his mental programming and slowly learning to fight for reasons he himself believes in
>Instead he's suddenly just lucid from an entire lifetime of conditioning and develops his own personality within 5 minutes of PTSD

Imagine if he kept his helmet on the entire movie because he's too paranoid of being apart from the First Order to remove it. The helmet steadily gets more stained and bloody until he can't even see out of it, representing an accumulation of the FO's sins. Then in his character-defining moment he takes it off and sees the outside world for the first time through is own eyes and not the FO's filtered propaganda.

You know, an actual character arc instead of
>I'mma chase dat pussy
>Nah nvm dawg I'mma dip
>Wait changed my mind, I'm back in to crush that tight petite vagina
>If I constantly hyperventilate and mumble "nononono...!" a bunch of times maybe they'll think I'm actually acting
>>
>>64026951

>>64026946 here

YES
This guy fucking gets it.
His presentation was so retarded I feel like I've convinced myself that it was done on purpose.

How the fuck did he shake off the programming so fast?

I'm hoping that the "awakening" is referencing him really, given that the creation of his character is literally the most counter-intuitive moment, the biggest left-turn the film has to offer in terms of lore.

Nigga makes no sense
>>
>>64023428

if you payed attention, Darth Plagueis told the general guy to gather kylo ren and retreat off the crumbling planet so that he can finish his training.

Obviously he is referring to Kylo ren who just finished killing his own father, thus fully initiating himself with the dark side

Would the movie have been better if it had been Phasma fighting Finn instead of TR-8R? At least we'd see her actually do... literally anything. Fuck, she doesn't even TRY to resist when they get her to bring the shields down. She takes them exactly where they ask, politely does exactly what they want, and even does it expediently for their convenience. Christ, what a mook.
>>
>>64027327
Nah, it isn't fucking obvious, and the "conveniently hurt" was definitely not part of some higher level plan seeing as it was delivered from an emotionally unstable pansy that had no grasp on any of the situations he found himself in.

So no.
It's a theory bitch
>>
>>64022722
I think Nigng McCuck was the best character of the movie.
Dameron was a Gary stu and have little to none screen time for people to even care that much about him. Being nice to a nigger in the movie made him likable but outside that he's just mr Ace can't do nothing wrong.

Finn at least had character, the first shot he has in the movies is of him being overwhelmed by the horrible acts of the Order. He had reasons to be scared and even at the end of the movie he over come his fear by 1. going to rescue Vagina-chan 2.Fighting a hopeless fight against edgy-lord.
I really hope they give him some force and proper training and make him the main Jedi for the rest of the franchise.
>>
It was so odd to me that Finn had an epiphany after the scene that the only thing I could think of was that he got forced into recruitment. But then he said he was raised by the order as a baby, which wouldn't make sense to me.

Also the fact that Ren let him go initially after sensing some compassion leads me to believe there's more to Finn than what is lead on.. Still, I liked Finn and Po's character. I just Rey was more in-depth with her character.

Speaking of, why is it that all female main characters in each of the trilogies strong headed/willed women who don't suffer a dent of fear or weakness? Leia was "fuck you vader and your empire". Padme was "fuck you gunray and your droids". Now this one is all "fuck you sith and your stormtroopers".
>>
>>64027720
> why is it that all female main characters in each of the trilogies strong headed/willed women who don't suffer a dent of fear or weakness?

Does wonders for the representation of the female gender in film as a whole. One radical representation will permit more tame ones to make it to the big screen...messy territory.

Just the fact that one of the leading roles of the biggest cultural franchise in American history went to a Black man fractures the hold of White Hollywood and says way more of its future than you could imagine

The world is getting PC as fuck
>>
>>64027534
Not only would it be something for her to do, it makes a little more narrative sense because they have at least a little history. You can still have Finn lose (again, considering her rank, it makes sense) and be saved by someone else without killing her off, too. But this way they can sell another toy.
>>
Finn is most likely force sensitive much like Leia. I don't see him becoming a Jedi either just like her but you never know, we'll have to see how his near death experience fighting a sith changes things for him.
>>

Finn was originally a janitor, that's why he wasn't conditioned as well. Here's how it went down:

>a few days before the events of TFA
>Phasma: "FN-2187! Kylo Ren got angry and threw his food on the wall again, go clean it up!"
>Finn goes to Kylo Ren's room and starts wiping up Darth Vader-shaped Spaghetti-O's
>He pauses, looks at the food sliding down the wall
