To play devil's advocate, I don't think it was all that clear attacking the weapon wouldn't have done something. The first time I saw it, I expected that he would attack it and stop that particular threat.

I think part of it is that his arc did seem to be moving to embracing the Rebellion and here he is ready to sacrifice for it, which often leads to actual sacrifice. Him not sacrificing himself is another of Rian's subversions, but it only works because it is subverting a common trope.

I'm glad he didn't die but I do think the execution of what Rian was trying to do there wasn't well done or obvious.

That said, I do agree that some of the people making the argument aren't doing so in good faith and do hate Finn.

I very much agree with you.

I like Finn, and I was already starting to cry, because I thought he was going to sacrifice himself. It's not that I wanted him to die. I didn't. But so much of his life was him being under the control of others and he's now making a decision for himself and yet again someone takes away his agency.

I don't hate Rose, but for being yet another person to take away Finn's agency, I don't really like her and definitely don't like Finn/Rose.
