[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7563909, member: 6716779"] Other genres don't matter that much to me. Rambo was an ex soldier its all you really need to know, Ripley is a marine, but even in Superhero movies they normally have something to explain the superpowers. Its not that Rey has them its that she has them and is so power "just because". They can't work out a big backstory due to say the 2 hours or so but in ANH. 1. Lukes father was a great pilot. 2. Luke is a piot 3. He is a good shooter 4. He is force sensitive 5. He struggled a bit with his 1st lesson. 6. He used very few force powers as such and barely used the force at all (vs the drone and DS run). If Luke was female she still ticks all the boxes. Switch Rey to male and you still have the same problem. There is still a lack of character development, he would still have all these unexplained powers in a setting where its established how to get them. Hypothetical Ray is still boring because he never got tempted by the darkside, never really got defeated, never lost any limbs and was using these powers even Luke and Anakin had to learn either directly or heavily implied (Anakin spent 10 years with the Jedi Order TPM-AoTC). Using a different genre. Game of Thrones, does anyone at all like Sansa vs Arya. I'm sure there are some Sansa fans somewhere but who will win a popularity contest there? Another genre because I'm an 80's kid. Hulk Hogan Mr America superhero vs Stone Cold Steve Austin or the peoples champion Rock. Who is more interesting. Farscape Crichton or Arryn Synn? Who do you love to hate more. Joffrey or Ramsey Bolton? Batman the Dark Knight vs the recent one? Sure a lot of these characters are grittier but still. Now do you see my point? Do you like the face or the tweener since someone earlier in the thread used face/heel. How about heel/heel then. Vader or Kylo Kylo or Thrawn(canon) Kylo or Thrawn (legends) Daala (legends) or Rae Sloan (the Disney one is better here BTW) Phasma or Boba Fett? Or Jaina Solo (legends) vs Rey Mara Jade (legends) vs Rey Asajj Ventress Vs Rey Ahsoka Tano vs Rey [/QUOTE]
