I liked her character a lot but I do agree that she could have been better written. But I think that happens with many female characters - fans just seem much more willing to "flesh out" male characters than female ones. (I'm not telling people what to do or who to like - I'm just saying it's a thing.)

(I found Hux totally forgettable, myself, but that's me.)

Hux is totally forgettable. It's just that some fans also find him pretty next to Kylo so they're willing to ignore that to make their pretty boys fuck.

The issue with TLJ in general is that they tried to cram too many storylines into it, so the characterization suffered. A lot.

If, instead of separating Finn and Rose from the rest of the group for their pointless escapades on Casino Planet, they'd kept them with Poe and worked on that angle of things, I think they could have made the relationship more believable and made all of the character development more organic.

Like, one of the things that I always found super-annoying is that Finn basically defected because he was sick of watching his friends die for a cause that he didn't believe in. Then, one of the first things that Rose does is punishes him for trying to save one of his friends from dying for a cause that he has just joined and has little reason to actually believe in. And this could have been a very interesting exploration of both of their characters, but it's completely ignored so they can go on their stupid mission, free a bunch of creepy space horses and get a bunch of slave children punished for not adequately guarding the stables.

It's definitely not the actors' fault, and I still like the character. But I like her more for the actor and the potential than for what we actually got on screen.

That isn't what happened. Tuanul was his first mission and Slip was the only friend he watched die. While he was stunned by Slip's death, what really affected Finn was the massacre of the Tuanul villagers.

Rose does is punishes him for trying to save one of his friends

Rose tased him for trying to defect.

He was going after Rey, but even if he was not, the underlying message is still "Guy who was raised to mindlessly obey orders joins freedom fighters who tell him he's got free will now. First time he exercises that will in a way they don't like, he winds up drooling on the floor."

As everyone who keeps jumping to Poe's defense in TLJ keeps saying, the Resistance is not a military operation. They're volunteers and no one signed an enlistment contract to be there. Violently forcing people to fight and die for your cause is what the bad guys do.
