heres my problem with Rey, because of the way she is written every other character becomes irrelevant, in the OT luke has Leia and Han to lean on, because he needs it at times, this makes him a character able to grow and become great. Anakin has Obi-Wan to lean on and learn from, this makes it so he is not, despite everyone telling him he's the fucking chosen one, able to win all the damn time. Rey has Han solo a veteran fighter pilot, Chewie a veteran savage and Finn a trained soldier to lean on and get supported by. But she doesn't need anyone, ever. so Finn is made pointless Han becomes funny man reference guy and chewie becomes slapstick bear. every character serves only to further hammer in the fact that Rey is the greatest ever at everything and she dont need no one. Finn the character who should become her most trusted friend and capable ally is immediately bumped down to comic relief. Rey has no growth other than watch this character go from powerful and completely independent to over the top savior of the galaxy doing everything by herself. she is literally just like a my japanese anime main character and the movie and the sequels will suffer for it unless its changed
>greatest at everything and doesn't need anyone
>didn't do shit at the starkiller base except defeat Kylo Ren who's been softened up by everybody else
Just because Rey doesn't need to rely on Finn, it doesn't make Finn irrelevant.
In fact, Finn is really the one driving the story. Finn's defection from the First Order is what puts everything into motion. Finn is also the one keeping Rey on track. If it weren't for Finn, Rey wouldn't be doing anything except for trying to find a way back to Jakku.
How so

she's so pretty.

The fact that she escaped all by her own using the Jedi Mind Trick that she didn't even know about was enough for me to be annoyed by her.
She basically goes on her own adventure halfway through the movie, and she's mainly supposed to contrast Kylo. TFA cribs a lot from ANH, but this aspect isn't really comparable.

If it wasn't for Finn grabbing her hand and pulling her away fr Rey would have been killed by the First order air support. If he didn't manned the turret in the Falcon, she'd be dead as none of her tricks made them lose her tail. If he didn't wanted to rescue her from Starkiller Base, she would have wander aimlessly in the base until she was caught again or the planet blown up. If Finn didn't buy time holding on Kylo Ren when she was inconscious, Kylo Ren could have easily picked her up again.

It still irked the fuck out of me that she would even think of trying that when it hasn't been done by anyone else in the film for her to even know to try it. She was un-fucking-touchable.
>let go of my hand!
fucking eyerolling, then they did it AGAIN

She heard about the Jedi. She thought they were legends, but Han revealed they are real, and the Force is real too.
What are Jedi known to do : Jedi Mind Trick.
Also what did Kylo Ren was doing to her the scene before ? Extracting ideas from her mind. If you can take an idea from someone, can you put one in someone ? She did just that.
What is Yoda's most famous line? Do, or do not. There is no try.
What did Han told her ? I don't ask this question (if something is possible) until I have done it.

He was a stranger by that point. When she came to knew him she has no problem being touchy. She is the one hugging him or kissing his forehead.
And if he didn't grab her hand, she'd be dead.
It's not a feminist statement. It's a normal reaction when someone you don't know start grabbing you.

Listen, we don't want facts here anon. We just want an echo chamber so we can say to ourselves that Rey is a Mary sue slut and a tumblr meme character that sorely needs a dicking.
>>64083015
No, it's pandering. When your life is on the line you're not worried about being fucking independent when someone is rushing you away from danger

>She uses tricks only proficient Jedi who has trained for years can do...not a mary sue Rey.
