Aw. I thought TFA!Hux was the same guy, just a guy who, unlike the first movie where he was poised for major victory, had major losses under his belt. So it makes sense that he was the butt of jokes after how badly he lost in TFA.

I've seen this argument before but it holds zero water with me. I don't see the loss of StarKiller as sufficient for how he was treated. But more damning to me was the sudden loss of intelligence and skill. In TFA, he knew exactly how to blow Poe and Finn out of the sky and onto Jakku. He knew his ship. In TLJ, he suddenly has no idea what it's capable of? The whole First Order is suddenly a joke in TLJ, not just Hux. Him losing StarKiller is the weakest of weak defenses for the change in characterization and I do not accept it in the least.

Yes! The way they showed half of his crew suddenly looking at him like he was an idiot all the time, having to explain he was being led on by Poe and how his ship worked was such a huge disconnect to the first movie. And what the writers apparently didn't get: They treated every single villain character that could have been a threat like an incapable, bumbling moron and the butts of all the dumb jokes. They were plenty threatening in TFA, but in TLJ, where they were actually supposed to hold the power, they seemed ridiculous and weak. And the Resistance still lost the majority of their fights. Which really doesn't put the skills if the Resistance in a favourable light, either.

Starkiller actually was a pretty minor loss compared to the losses of the Resistance. Hell, the movie starts out with outright telling you the the First Order is currently in control, with the Resistance reduced to a tiny force on the run from seemingly inevitable doom.
