Is this where I blame fandom for warping the the main heroes' characterizations? Watch TFA again and you'll find that Finn is "a bit of a buffoon", Poe is a "hothead", and Rey is a "lost little girl" in that movie. And since so little time has passed between TFA and TLJ, it makes sense that these things are still true.

As someone who pays no attention to Star Wars fandom outside of what filters through here and only watches the movies, this is the impression I get too. Like, the movie has some very clear writing issues, in particular regarding pacing and subplots, but a lot of the characterization complaints I see seem to come out of nowhere.

Side tangent: Kylo Ren being a whiny little bitch of a villain is actually what I like about him. He feels grounded in the kind of mindset that deeply toxic people end up buying into in the real world. Which... Yeah, I can understand why that isn't necessarily the kind of thing everyone would want to watch. But I appreciate it. And I appreciate Rey being optimistic enough to at least try to bring him back out of it, even if it looks like that was futile.

I respect that tangent even if watching that kind of character is the opposite of enjoyable to me.

That is entirely fair and understandable, anon.
