      Going forward, one problem Star Wars will have is a lack of good villains. Kylo is a whiny Darth Vader cos-player & Hux an insecure medal-polisher of the type to get fragged.

      To clarify: I think Kylo is a great character and Adam Driver gave a fantastic performance. But he's not a Darth Vader level scary bad guy.

          I think that can change through his actions early in the film. And seeing a normal dude do terrible things can be scary on a more existential level

          (that's sort of what makes the movie way more interesting than previous Star Wars)

          One of the existing good guys will become the villain. Finn/Poe/Rey

          I remember commenting to my brother that the First Order is now being run by two dipshits who hate each other. Just wait long enough and they'll probably kill each other.

          He’s pretty scary to me tbh I deal with creeps like him too often luckily none of them have the force

          If you’re not scared of whiny white boys and faux Nazis, you haven’t been paying attention this year.

          kylo is lame but adam driver is really good. i prefer to just consider him driver rather than kylo and it makes the movie better imo

          He’s not Hitler. But he probably has a tiki torch. Scary enough.

          isn't this just an reverse of the "Luke is ruined" brigade? A "DV"-lvl bad guy does fit well with complex char-arcs.
