I liked all of those, but didn’t like Finn’s boyfriend line. On the other hand, I really like Maz’s boyfriend joke, so I guess it balances out.

Yeah, the only jokes in TFA that I didn’t like we’re “You got a boyfriend? Cute boyfriend?”, “Droid, please!”, and the trash compactor bit.

There might be more that just didn’t land with me, but these were the only ones that made me cringe.

And I also loved Kylo’s “temper tantrums.” I think they’re pretty essential to his character too. I think (as a general rule) most people who took issue with them were set their expectations of what kind of villain Kylo would be, and his instability as shown in the film were at odds with those expectations.

Like many little things in TFA, I think the “tantrum” thing will be less of an issue in retrospect after TLJ and/or IX come out and we get a clearer picture of Kylo’s character arc.
