>What is your opinion on Kylo Ren?
>What is your age?

I've got a theory that whiney millenial manchildren can't handle Kylo since it's too realistic a portrayal for them.and hits too close to home. They wanted another power fantasy character, and instead got the opposite: a person with depth and relatively understandable motivations.

I liked parts of him. Though I thought it was weird how he's skilled enough with the force to freeze a blaster-shot in mid-air, but gets his ass whooped by an untrained force user and some other schmuck, neither of whom have fought with a lightsaber before.

I was slightly iffed by Adam Drivers delivery. Maybe they played the angsty-whiner thing up a little too strong for me, and I would've liked it more if it was more subtle.

All in all though a compelling villain, and not a Darth Vader ripoff. I'm curious to see what his ultimate fate turns out to be.

You hit the nail on the head, OP. His character was a big surprise and he actually became my sole motivation for watching the rest of the fucking garbage movie. Literally the only person with any depth and I can't wait to see the rest of his arc.

We still don't know if she's really a Skywalker, and she had no training. It's like grabbing a guitar for the first time and learning to play Stairway in five minutes. Even Luke got his ass whooped with some training.

His motivations are weak as shit so far, hopefully the sequel will fix this. The little shit didn't even acknowledge Anakin's ultimate redemption.

>>64083566
Err, they specifically call her Vaders granddaughter in the film. She got flashbacks after touching the lightsaber. She's force sensitive. The old trailer had Luke tell Rey she's strong in the force since it runs in HIS family...

We know she's a Skywalker.

And that was darkside strength she was using, against a weakened and internally conflicted Kylo.

It makes sense.

He's the evil Gohan of Star Wars. Stuck in Goku's/Vader's shadow. Younger. More emotionally unbalanced, especially when things get tough. Weaker (at this current point for Gohan). Gets called a pussy cause of it.

Almost single-handedly ruins Star Wars for everyone with some taste. Makes no sense he adores Vader since Luke or anyone must told him he became good at the end and was burnt and even became a force ghost. It makes no sense he has force powers even Yoda was barely capable of who is 1000 years old. It makes no sense he joins the dark side and I doubt we'll ever get a good reason for this when Anakin wanted to save Padme's life. It makes no sense he suddenly loses to Ray who didn't even know what the force is and uses a sword for basically the first time. It makes no sense he freezes a blaster shot. This should not be possible. This was the main reason for whey they use blast weapons and not bullets in Star Wars, because Jedi could easily stop bullets. Now they can also just freeze plasma mit air. It makes no sense he doesn't even look 1 % like his parents.

Luke probably told him about Vaders redemption and he didn't believe it, probably thought he was lying to him.

>I'm not emo enough, let me kill ya daddy.
That's how you get deeper in the Dark Side. Case in point, Luke v Vader while Palpatine taunts.

His motivations are totally believable. You would literally have to be an angsty fedoratipper to want to wear a black mask and follow 'The Darkside'.

I'm 23.

K-Ren is the only character I'm interested in (I'm curious about Luke, but only curious).

I'm a Catholic. A Catholic friend suggested to me that in the OT the Empire can represent the Catholic Church in that it's portrayed as the authoritarian enemy against the liberal space hippies. I bring this up because Kylo Ren reminds of a Catholic in that he has a Jesuit appearance (pic) and discipline, but inner conflict and a worship of the Father (Vader to him). The scene where he is praying to Vader is the most interesting scene imo.

Pretty sure they use lasers because it's a space sci-fi movie with a futuristic setting.

Black separatists still idolise Malcolm X, despite him doing a completely 180 on his stance just before his death. It's not unbelieveable that nobody would believe Vader switched sides, especially if it's coming from the people who were trying to kill him.

It makes sense he loses to the daughter of the Chosen one while he was conflicted and injured.

I'm 24 years old. Kylo perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with my generation: he has it all, good background, grows up in the New Republic, natural talent, cool Uncle, free Jedi lessons. Honestly, what else could any kid ask for?

And yet for some reason, he still feels entitled to more, hates his parents, feels the need to rebel. He has no clear grasp on his emotions, wants everything handed to him and looks up to figureheads he doesn't even understand (such as Vader). He's the anti-thesis of Luke Skywalker.

He represents many extremist individuals of the modern area: Islamic converts born in the West who become militant and even suicidal, young school/college shooters who feel rejected and wish to take out their anger on society, extremely socially isolated individuals who drawn into themselves and become mentally unstable. Kylo Ren not only encapsulates them all, but in same way is inherently relatable to every millennial in that he shares the same entitled, cynical, rebellious attitude toward everything that's practically come to define the generation. And yet, in his journey to become more and more of a servant to the dark side, there's a sense of striving for nobility that is strangely, admirable.

He's by far the greatest character of the sequel trilogy thus far and arguably the only character who might be able to bring the trilogy to cinematic greatness. He should NEVER redeemed, Kylo must remain a servant of the Darkness, unto his death. Unlike Vader, there should be no repentance for him. Otherwise his entire journey as a character would seem worthless.

What does perfectly evil even mean? And who said anything about no weaknesses? And what makes you believe Vader had no weaknesses?

believable =/= understandable
>That's how you get deeper in the Dark Side. Case in point, Luke v Vader while Palpatine taunts.
As whinny and insufferable as Anakin's conversion was it was actually understandable. Palpatine manipulated his love and worries for Padme as also for not being strong enough to protect his loved ones. Then tried to use Luke's anger for what Vader represents to him and how his friends and himself had suffered through the former's actions.

In contrast we have very little background for Ben's motivations beyond "Darth Vader was so cool, I wanna be just like him".

Kylo by far had the most interesting story of any character in the movie. We got a little background, but mainly we saw a lot about where his character currently is. It's like they took the whiny Anakin of the prequels and actually turned that into a developed character.

23, one of the best Sith so far. Far more human and less Disney-villain-esque than literally any other Sith portrayed thus far, despite Disney being responsible for him. Finn and Poe were great, Rey was a tad overpowered but not without reason given that she is a virgin birth like Anakin, and Han was awesome. Only character that let the film down was Leia for poor acting - none of the fire in her that she used to have in the OT. Probably been burned out by all the coke.

Sasuke was perfect. Kylo isn't.
>>
>>64083305
I'm 25, love Kylo. People seem to forget that he's the only character so far that has been able to stop blaster bolts in mid air and continue to use the force after dropping his hand. They also forget that he got shot in the leg with a bowcaster, the same bowcaster Han geeks out over the entire movie that is causing explosions and blasting Stormtroopers back like it's nothing, that and you can see him limp slightly while he's fighting Finn.

Great character though, hope he goes full on evil/villain as opposed to getting redeemed by the light like Vader or having him and Rey switch sides.
>>
>>64083305
>>What is your opinion on Kylo Ren?
I think he's a good villain. I like how he picks up on aspects of Vader (in support o the cyclical nature of the saga overall) and at the same time comments on things like fame, the fallibility of history/mythology, and so on. His outbursts and the level of his commitment make him a compelling character and an interesting parallel/contrast with what came before.

Actually my favorite part of the movie. An undisciplined, half trained, young Jedi with temptation towards the Light Side is a nice, unexplored element in a universe filled with false dichotomy. Driver, despite his fucking face, played the part well. I love that his Saber style was very heavy, like a bastard sword, swinging the fucking thing about. New Force powers, while tame, were at the very least something fresh.

Excited to see his progression. Hope he does more damage and stays on the Dark side. Deflecting would utterly ruin his arc.
>>
>22

The whole movie felt like a best-of of the original trilogy, but with a whiney bitch for a villain and with storm troopers. Good and evil are tangible forces in Star Wars, let the good be really good and the bad be really bad, I say.

I'm still hopeful that Snoke can save this this trilogy, but so far I just feel let down.

He's the grandchild of the greatest known Jedi/Sith in existence and feels a great burden to live up to his name.

Classic tale of a hothead trying too hard to prove himself and ultimately failing.

29, Kylo reminds me of those emo kids with edgy t-shirts who say that they can't get shit done because the whole world is against them.

He really is realistic, for a teenager or someone older but who is still stuck in their teenage years mentally.

With him the movie became specifically targeted for a teenage audience, the older movies could be both enjoyed by a younger audience and an older one. Most older people I know agree, this was also confirmed by the audiences reaction in the cinema, older people were laughing at Kylo from the moment he took off his mask and onward, especially during his fits of anger, the kids not that much.

so deep am i right? he totally afraid he ain't as stronk as vader.

now please let's ignore this was one of the most childish and edgiest dialogues ever in a movie. and that it makes no sense at all for those faggot kids to even know how powerful vader actually was when even his own subordinates were surprised by his powers and only Tarkin seemed to know all about his powers. Not to mention that Vader never did anything in the OT that was half as impressive as what this shonen boy did in 7.
>>
I had a similar thought.
He is the modern equivalent to vader. Vader was a huge general basically what they feared back in the day. But Kylo is like a school shooter. A little white manchild throwing tantrums. Basically what everyone outside of 4chan imagines everyone of us only not fat.
>>
I like the idea of a younger guy being conflicted and struggling to maintain the facade of being totally evil. I think Adam Driver's performance was good.

But there's so much we don't know about Kylo Ren that could sink the story. Why does he worship Darth Vader? He seems to be aware of the circumstances of Vader's demise. We know Snoke manipulated him, but Kylo had to have had some underlying motivations for Snoke to have influenced him to begin with, right? We know nothing about him. How is this all able to happen under Luke's supervision, anyway? He's not--and shouldn't be--omniscient, but if even Leia noticed how did Luke not?

How the trilogy deals with this stuff is what will make the difference. As it stands Kylo Ren was still by far the best and most interesting new character.

By classic you meant uncreative and bland. This would be some 2/10 tier writing. If he doesn't have better motives (he won't), this whole new tirlogy is fucking shit. They stand and fall alone with his motivations and why he even joined the dark side.

Liking him at this point makes no sense, though, just shows how many people have no taste and are retarded. He did nothing but disappoint in this first movie. About to lose fights he should never lose, ugly as sin, edgy, tantrums that became a literal running gag with storm trooper comic relief scenes.

I wasn't sure at first but he grew on me more and more as I watched. I think he's became most impressive Star Wars villain to me. Darth Vader is epic and all but Kylo's unstable personality and imperfections make him more interesting. And I don't find the actor ugly.

It's nice to have an "evil" character struggling with doing good, for once instead of the other way around. The fact that he isn't a badass, but desperately tries to act like it makes him seem sympathetic, somehow. He feels human, with his emotional outbursts and idolization of vader. He has a pretty appealing lightsaber-style, using it almost as a heavy broadsword instead of some wishy washy rapier or anything else really reminding you of the prequels cringey sword-dancing. Driver's a good actor as well.

Never used nor implied something/someone being ideal, don't put words in my mouth and don't assume if you want to have a straight to the point internet conversation.

You sound mad, if you feel called out by anything I write don't or if you find yourself in something I write, don't talk to me about it ad don't bring it to our conversation because that is something which concerns you and only you and I can't do anything about it, nor do I care.

People were laughing, I assume, because he looked like an emo kid. Not a bad guy, not a threat, not like someone who could have any serious position in the remnants of a galactic empire, not as someone with whom the older audience could connect to because of a simple reason...most of them grew out of their angsty teen phase, an when you pass a phase like this it just seems silly in retrospect.

Every single person who has gone to the dark side has done so because it is the path of least resistance, a pursuit of power.

I bet you think Snoke is some random alien who happens to be the same race as Plagueis and is extremely versed in the dark side.

As a standalone villain, he's aight. Does plenty of evil shit but is revealed to be conflicted and somewhat multidimensional by the end of the movie.

Thank you for the lesson master, I hope that one day I'll also learn to use leet internet phrases like tl-dr, just like you.

Well based on the original trilogy one could assume that it'll be a family movie, or at least for the ages 16 and up, and going by the number of older people sitting in the cinema they must have thought that too. Instead they got a teen movie. They didn't expect Hunger Games or Race to Witch Mountain.

I love Kylo Ren because I strongly identify with him. He's a wimpy dude but he tries his hardest to be a badass, that makes him endearing and I hope he succeeds and becomes a huge asshole everyone is scared of.

He has the same power fantasies, fascination for bad guys (because let's face it, the good guys are never badass enough) as me, but he lives in a fantasy universe where he can actually realize them if he tries hard enough.

At the end of the day, being an "edgy kid" is only a bad thing if you can't live up to your own standards. And Kylo is actually not that far from making it as a villain. Watching him struggle to become like Vader is like watching my home team compete, I can't help but cheer him on.

I get what he represents, I know it's guys like me, and I fully embrace it.

He is a very interesting character but his jobbing to Rey and Finn was a mistake, it would have worked better if his impotent rage was actually dangerous.

I also think it is a bit jarring how TFA is basically a remake of ANH, except for the part where the Vader character is intimidating. It felt like listening to a song where just one of the bandmembers isn't in tune.
>>
Hes a great character. The fact that hes trying to be something hes not is hypocritical poetry. He clearly has no idea what hes doing by trying to fit a greater mans shoes. They'll never make a more menecing villan, so instead they did something completely different by giving all the characters personality.

And thats all star wars is, character interaction and space fantasy.

I think the reason they make him as weak as he is, is to strengthen the inner conflict hes having with the dark/light. There he is trying to be "so hard and got so far, and in the end it doesn't even matter". He sees that the light is actually stronger and may likely turn.

Have you ever heard of someone being "the wrong man for the job" type of situation? Well he is the wrong man for the job of the main villain/threat of a movie, unless we are talking about teen movies with characters with a teen mentality.
Imagine someone like Clint Eastwood portraying young Skywalker, even if his acting were great he would look too sure, too strong for a lost-in-the-world kid, hen Clint enters a room in any movie the room starts to revolve around him thus making him a bad choice for such a role.
This guy is wrong for a role of the threat/main bad guy of a movie, at least for older audiences. They expected someone menacing, someone who could hold a high position in the remnants of the galactic empire, this guy doesn't look like that.

>>64085234

I don't get this face meme. What were you expecting when he took off the mask? His character is portrayed as a young adult, which means his appearance would look something similar to an average 25-33 year old male.

You guys were expecting some handsome devil? Or some disfigured goon? You know his mother and father, so why does it surprise you that he looks like your typical /tv/ lurker?

Kylo's appearance is far more convincing than young Anakin.

>The fact that he isn't a badass, but desperately tries to act like it makes him seem sympathetic, somehow.

As a certain character said at the times when Star Wars movies were good: Do or do not, there is no "try".

>He has a pretty appealing lightsaber-style, using it almost as a heavy broadsword instead of some wishy washy rapier

So he's so retarded, that after years of training he did not yet figure that the only thing he's accomplishing by swinging a blade that does not need momentum to cut as if it did is making himself easier to reck?
>>
>>64085276

To what have been more like as to what? Speak English. How is Luke relevant? Kylo is a character who chose the dark side and the light is fighting through. Luke is a light side character slowly getting darker like his father but fought it off and did the impossible turning Vader away from evil. Vader was supposed to be irredeemable.
>>
>>64085324
>making him turn good would be a complete waste of his character.

What do you mean? Seems like that's the arc they're setting up, they've already said he keeps getting tempted and weakened by the light side.

He's conflicted right now. Having him turn good would be a first for the films, since Luke went Neutral to Light, and Anakin went Light to Dark.

Dark to Light needs to be done, and I'm guessing what they will do.

>Honestly making him turn good would be a complete waste of his character
Depends. As it stands it could easily be much more satisfying than Vader's redemption, because unlike Vader's conflict Ren's is on the surface and an integral part of his character from the very start.

I think if they just use him as Vader Lite with a redemption at the end it would be a complete waste. But if they actually shift him gradually into a more outright protagonistic role it could benefit the story greatly. He'd certainly be more interesting than fucking Rey is.

Dark to Light has been done with Vader.

What I mean is that, at the end of the day, the characters we root for are the ones who try their hardest to achieve their goals. Not necessarily underdogs, but just the characters who try their hardest.
And if Kylo Ren turned good, all his efforts would be wasted, it would be a huge letdown. He's an opportunity to develop a new kind of villain, one who wasn't tricked into joining the bad guys, one who wasn't evil all along. A villain who actively tries to be a villain, similarly to how good guys struggle to be good.

It's new, it's refreshing, it's engaging.

Redeemed bad guys are a dime a dozen by comparison.

They never said Rey was a Skywalker nor did they say Vader was her grandfather. They only said the force was strong in her. Though, to be fair, they way her story arc is framed pretty much suggests her heritage. Though they could still say "fuck it" and not go that route with her story.

Kylo had the best character arc of the entire movie. The film itself is trying to be Episode IV, so it only makes sense that the main villain is trying too hard to be Vader, to the point that he just comes off as Darth Vader diet. He wears the black robes, acts all stoic and serious, and even has a mask to make his voice all spooky, even though he doesn't need it. He idolises Vader, so wants to be like him. Problem is, he's filled with insecurities and flaws. When something doesn't go his way he throws a hissy-fit and wrecks the shit out of everything around him like a child. In the first scene where we are introduced to him, Poe doesn't treat him like much of a threat, he just looks him in the eye and plays it cool with some jokes.
Thing is, he knows how he's not as good as Vader was. We see him praying to Vader's helmet for strength. His insecurities are shown front-and-centre to everyone watching when Rey turns his own powers against him and exposes him, he's just scared. We even see his face reveal to see he's just some pre-pubescent looking fucker with long greasy black hair and pimples a'plenty.
The best part of the film was Kylo's turning point, when he stops being a little bitch, mans the fuck up, and kills his own father. He drops the poor-man's Vader gimmick, and becomes his own character. He leaves the helmet behind for good, shoots Finn and Rey that "You're next on my shit-list and I'm gonna fuck you up" look, and despite getting shot point-blank by a weapon that has been destroying people all over the place in the film up until that point, he heads right for them to finish the job. He even cripples the shit out of Finn. The only reason he didn't kill Rey then and there was because A) His ribs are falling out. B) His massive planet destroying magnum-opus is falling to pieces all around him, and C) Snoke said he wanted her alive. Kylo Ren truly wast he best character oft he whole film.

It's a great bait and switch by JJ though, to put him up front as the de facto villain. Everyone assumed he'd be the new Vader but instead fails completely and leaves the audience confused. It's the only good piece of storytelling in this movie so far.

Maz definitely implies it, but she doesn't say it. Finn and Rey have their lil dispute, Rey runs off then Maz gives Han a look like "ok nigga, stop fucking with me, who is the girl?" Then I think the conversation she has with Rey is like:

>What is your opinion on Kylo Ren?

Good character. Probably the most developed and flesh-out character of the lot next to Finn. I like the angle they took with this new villain. A potential sith-in training trying to be menacing when in actuality he's just some confused, brainwashed kid who wishes he was something he wasn't. Really reminds me of all of the stormfront faggots on /pol/ who're proud of their white aryan German heritage or whatever.

I'm also with those who believe that he'll end up redeeming himself in the end. There's so many hints and clues thrown throughout the movie that highlight his relationship with Han and his mysterious past with Rey. After watching it a second time, it affirms that he really doesn't want to kill either; it's like he doesn't have a choice.

kylo a cool character but something is missing on his outfit like vader voice adapter or darth maul face and spikes

I think Kylo Ren is a very multi faceted character with real motivations and depth.

I'm 30.
>>
>>64086545
>something is missing on his outfit like vader voice adapter or darth maul face and spikes
I feel the Cross-Guard saber was kind of "his thing". If you mean something's missing from more of a design-perspective, then perhaps that too is deliberate. Relatively speaking, he's a pretty normal sith. Vader had the mask because he was a cripple. Maul had the spikes because he was an edgy looking alien badass dude. Kylo's just some human, still in training. I guess his face getting cut up by Rey's lightsaber at the end of the film could count? At least from a symbolic point of view. Odds are they might change his design a little in Episode VIII. Maybe give him a new mask or something along those lines.

Kylo Ren is what Anakin should have been in the prequels. He's a fucking child and it shows. He feels entitled because he's got power and gets pissy when everything doesn't go his way. He thinks he knows better and is dismissive when he makes poor decisions. I think he worked well in TFA but I want to see some growth and development in Episode VIII because the childish act can't work again.
>>
He's the first Star Wars villain I thought was scary. The movie brought me back to 10 year old me watching the OT on VHS. I'd never felt like a Star Wars villain was unstable before him. He's an emotional wreck and it makes him unpredictable. 10/10 character in a decent flick.
>>
>>64084441
Yea the dark side is its own motivation. All these people talking about kylo ren having no reason to convert are... Pretty fucking stupid.
>>
>>64083305
He's well on his way to becoming the villian we want. He's still young, naive and unsure of himself which is why a lot of people probably don't like him.

Most people fail to remember the guy is fighting against the light the entire movie up until daddy falls off the walk way.

Maz claims Luke's saber belongs to her, as it's implied she's from Luke's bloodline since she also mentions how the saber once belonged to Anikin. As the Main theme of the Star Wars movies is watching the progression of the Skywalker bloodline, she'll either be Luke's or Leia's daughter. Her being related to Obi Wan would just be a lazy swerve that makes no sense.
>>
>>64087720
Where does she imply she's a Skywalker because I've watched the movie twice and I'm flipping through the HDCAM now. Nothing.

>As the Main theme of the Star Wars movies is watching the progression of the Skywalker bloodline

Are you forgetting Kylo is a Skywalker?
>>
>>64087763
>Where does she imply she's a Skywalker
It's pretty obvious. Why else would Maz start telling Rey about Luke and Anakin anon. Also, remember the trailer with the supposedly cut part where Luke is telling someone about how the force run in his family? The only character Luke meets in the entire film is Rey. Even though it was a deleted scene, he was most definitely talking to her.
>>
>>64088016
>Why else would Maz start telling Rey about Luke and Anakin anon.

Because they're the two most famous and important Jedi to have existed and also the previous owners of the lightsaber right in front of her.

> Also, remember the trailer with the supposedly cut part where Luke is telling someone about how the force run in his family?

That's flashback dialgoue given to Kylo as he was being trained.

>The only character Luke meets in the entire film is Rey.

They don't even speak to each other.

Now where's the evidence for that?

Of course they did, just about 5-10 seconds IUT after the credits started rolling.
>>
>>64087763
Maz implies it through tone of speech, but she doesn't outright say it.

Finn tells Rey he can't take her to the rebel base, and they both storm off

Maz gives Han a look like "ok nigga, stop fucking with me, who is the girl?"

Then it shows Rey going downstairs and touching the saber, she has her vision, then the convo goes something like

>"I'm sorry I shouldn't be here... What was that?"
>"That saber, used to belong to Luke... before him, it belonged to his father... and now... it calls to you.."

I love that this movie does the opposite of the prequels by dropping hints and being subtle while telling a story, rather than smash you over the head with long boring expositional conversations.
>>

There isn't any. This is speculation.

I love Kylo Ren, I found him to be intimidating and intriguing, while still displaying deep weakness, fear, and insecurity. Call me an emo faggot, see if I care.

Anyway, for anyone complaining that his character has no motivations, how about you wait for the next film to delve into backstory and actually watch the whole trilogy before judging based solely on this one. Do you even know how character arcs work?
>>
>>64088278
Sure. What will you say when Rey is Luke's daughter? Will we be making up living reality too?

Get some money and watch the film, you fucking poorfag. If you're not a retard the scene in reference will make so much sense to you. But that's only if you're not a retard.

But you are, so don't worry.
>>
>>64088297
They don't even need to wait for the next film, his motivations are made clear in this film.

Has Vaders blood in him
He looks up to Lord Vader and his legacy, like half the fucking galaxy
He has a whole lot of power within himself
He wants to finish what Vader started, to use his influence over the force to control EVERYTHING
Believes Vader was beaten by the light
He doesn't want that for himself

Some people are just intentionally playing dumb.
>>
>>64088357
>What will you say when Rey is Luke's daughter? Will we be making up living reality too?

When they say she's Luke's daughter she's Luke's daughter.

Not before.

Calm down. I've already told you I've watched it twice. No need to fly off the handle because someone tells you you're reading into shit too much.

He's the best part of the movie for all of the reasons people make fun of.
Driver convincing in his struggle. Great nose and voice. Looks very handsome in the film compared to his private life and some of his other roles. He seems to be someone who looks godawful in photos compared to video.
And complaining he wasn't big bad, cold and super threatening when he took of that mask kind of misses the point completely.

Its because he is wrong.

Most of the reasons to hate him has been about him being edgy, childish, angsty, and because YOU, as the audience, should hate him. Same problem when cartoons have characters that are bullies. I've seen people clap at movies, but these same people also boo when villain is on stage.

He is hated, because people hate that kind of person.

30. He was literally just a cheap knock off Vader to tick the box on "WE NEED A NEW VADER".

>Takes off his mask
>Literally entire audience laughed
>Gets beaten at the end of the first movie by someone who picks up a saber for the first time

I don't understand how anybody can like him. In New Hope, we see Vader decimate Obi-Wan, and they literally have to run away from him as fast as possible.

Empire Strikes back we see him rek Han and Luke. It's not until the final movie we see him finally be defeated, and only because he was holding back and Luke had succumbed to the Dark Side temporarily.

Even Maul was better than Kylo and more of a threat.

I kinda felt this way too. He wasn't my favorite character in the film, but his progression was probably the best progression we've seen of any Star Wars villain so far. It's weird how many people just judge characters from one perspective, and don't pay attention to the progression that character goes through.

24.

I think he's a faggot and really hope he doesn't get a redemption arc just straight up degraded and killed off.

That said I hate him as a character in the movie not as a bad element of the movie so he's a good character. Fuck that twat.
