Emo Kylo Ren

You guys have probably seen this by now but if you saw The Force Awakens and think Kylo Ren is a weak-ass villain you'll appreciate this Twitter account.

I've been showing it to my friends since I found it last week or so.

Unpopular opinion time with Taaj:

I don't think he was supposed to be a strong villain, so the fact that he's weak is just fine.

Kylo is basically a kid, worshipping the legacy of his bad-boy grandpa, flexing his bitty muscles here and there, and throwing childish temper tantrums while trying to please a higher authority.

So yeah, he's a bit emo, because he's like, a temperamental child.

Anyway that's my opinion on Kylooooooooooo.

My opinion on Kylo is that @kylor3n is canon.

So I don't have a problem with his immaturity because they seem to be going somewhere with it. He's obviously still alive (which is annoying without an escape scene like Vader had from the Death Star) if they show his training it could effectively develop his character.

But it's annoying he was so easily defeated when they established him with threatening new force abilities, freezing a blaster bolt is badass and makes perfect sense. I think his mind reading was new to the films too, but I might be wrong. It makes his subsequent characterisation and defeat mismatched to his abilities. Also his dark/light side inner conflict seemed super simplified, we also see this with Finn compared to the other Stormtroopers.

Also the new Tarkin being so young weirdly seemed to emphasize the youth related weaknesses in Ren's character. Do you not have to rise up the ranks in the First Order? Did he get his position for his speeches? Wouldn't it be cooler to have an old Imperial officer with experience to clash with Ren, and be ruthless to the good guys while Ren does his training.

It was between very good and great overall. I just hope they do something really new with the next one.
