I could have forgiven so many of TRoS's sins if Ben Solo had survived. I really could have. It still hurts that Leia Organa and Han Solo's only son died without ever really living for himself. It's been months and it still hurts.

It still hurts that the boy who was groomed by a manipulative abuser and who was rejected by his family and who was radicalized and who hated himself the entire time ended up dying just before he lived

"wah he was a fascist who hurt people" he's fake and could have devoted his life to atonement, every single radicalized young man is someone's child and every single radicalized young man is society's failure

ending the issue of abusers radicalizing young men does not begin with executing every radicalized young man

I still shake my head at TRoS like how much failure could you condense into one film

Ah, The Narrative Understanders have logged on, I see, to correct my opinion about Ben Solo.

"Don't you know he was the villain"

yes

that is usually the opening of a character arc about atonement

Alright muting this thread so I don't have to see the 10,000th person try to explain to me how Kylo Ren was bad, as if I did not know this.

anyway ben solo is babie die mad about it
