I really like what RJ did with TLJ, but a romance between Rey and Kylo is just dumb as fuck. I guess it's a good message to the audience that the protagonist should romance a genocidal maniac who also phisically ane mentally abused her. :/
...
They're basically siblings
All this is Rey seeing Finn like a brother, TFA was that, TLJ went even further into that.
Well, when you lay it all out like that you make it sound so bad.Kylo kills billions, is responsible for the deaths of Han, Luke and Leia and directly tortured Rey.
... and she still falls for him.
Very empowering
clickbait when it comes to SW is an era past time.

I've said this about FFXIV recently and other content:
Stop. Trying. to. Redeem. Nazi-like. Characters.
Really? Was that that between the mind torture or his multiple attempts to kill her and the multi-planet genocide?they were building towards that since the first movie. not really surprising
Yep.

Yep.
The title only further fuels the false narrative that Rian "ruined" Star Wars.
Ain't it the truth, dude couldn't even beat out the genociding neo-nazi.
Wasn't Trevorrow thinking about pairing Rey with Poe? That would have been super out of left field.I don't view Trevorrow as a saviour - not least because his movies are dreadful - but I am interested in what he would have done differently.
True but it would have been better than Reylo, anything would have been better than reylo.Wasn't Trevorrow thinking about pairing Rey with Poe? That would have been super out of left field.
'Rise of Skywalker': Trevorrow leaked script made a Rey-Poe romance satisfying in 3 ways
Reylos would have never accepted it, but could shipping Rey/Poe have actually balanced the Force?www.inverse.com
I'd love to understand what this score is tracking
Does Era have a monolithic opinion that Reylo is noncanon and that this makes it canon? Or is Era of mind that Rian was anti-Reylo?
Like I'd love to know what invites a comment like this
This means that no matter what went down with the directors, Kylo would have been going down
The tweet does not tell us exactly here he would have taken it, though.The TLJ fans here had, despite railing against anyone else doing it for years, created this headcanon where a Rian Johnson-directed Episode IX wouldn't have had Rey and Ben fall in love because he's a better director than that, among other things.
This comment from the man himself confirms that actually, no, they were wrong and their deity Rian Johnson probably would've made a movie equally as bad as Abrams did because the trilogy was doomed from the start.
Ben always being on the path to redemption, Rey always inevitably falling in love with him... Ben was never going to be the Big Bad of the trilogy, despite the fact TLJ fans insisted for years that's what the movie was setting up and Abrams "ruined".
Which also means the extremely toxic, degrading and repulsive pairing of Rey and Ben was always going to be a thing. That's what happens when you let men write a trilogy with a lead character that's a woman, after all - it stops being about what she should want and becomes about fulfilling the male fantasy.
Personally I don't think Rey needed to get with anyone but, if she did, I'd have had her fall in love with Finn. Y'know, the guy that never gave up on her and wasn't a homicidal maniac that tortured, abused and manipulated her.
Pretty much but it does tell us that Rey nd Kylo's relationship in TLJ was romantic and intimate, which was an obvious reading of that film but still completely horrendous considering the film prior.The tweet does not tell us exactly here he would have taken it, though.
