Wait, there are fans who are rooting for Kylo Ren?
Well Kylo was actually an interesting character, I’d much rather root for someone I care about.
Root for him to hurt the main ‘good guy’ in the film? Unlike Vader who was a ‘cool’ bad guy, there are no redeeming qualities for Ren (in my opinion). He works as the foe to Rey but I don’t understand any support for him to be victorious.
Vader ‘killed’ Ben after a fair duel between the two. Ren murdered his unarmed father after tricking him into standing really close to him and stabbing him in the heart. He failed at every task he was given in the film and was defeated by a ‘novice’ Force user.
I don’t think he is a poorly written character, I’m just confused about what appeal he has to anyone other than his helmet.
