Blah, for some reason I can't pull up the chatlog where I was talking to Krad about this, so I'll just re-type my thoughts out here.
SO, I've seen The Force Awakens twice now, because I was in a city with an Alamo Drafthouse so of course I needed to go see a movie there, right?
And the second time around, I was a lot more fond of Kylo. As a character, mind, not as a TV boyfrand. (My heart only has room for Anakin's Magnificent Hair In Episode III.) The first watch-through, I didn't really know what to make of him—the brief trailer I'd seen made him look like this intimidating, badass silhouette with a crazy lightsaber, and yet here we had some skinny pale kid, wearing a mask for no apparent reason, obsessing over Not Being As Cool As Grandpa, and throwing temper-tantrums onscreen when things don't go his way. Uhh.
But the second time, I was better able to appreciate Kylo on his own terms, and I think they're setting us up for one of two major arcs they could do with his character.
