I personally love stuff like the freezing of the laser bolt.I don’t have a problem with it. I thought it looked good on the screen. The problem many of us had was that Kylo suddenly doesn’t have any of these abilities in the last fight.
That kinda supports the point I made in the rest of my post. It’s one thing to show off with stopping laser bolts and whatnot, but in a one-on-one fight when you’re bleeding, running out of time before the world blows up and have just murdered your own father, you might just not be in your prime fighting condition. Therefore I don’t see this outcome of the fight as implausible at all. If Kylo was as powerful at that moment as he appeared to be in the opening scene, there really wouldn’t be much of a fight – he’d probably just grab Rey and Finn by the collar with the Force and throw them in the trunk. This character is not a badass, he is just posing as one. A dark lord of the Sith wannabe.
In the very same fight, he threw Rey against a tree with the force and knocked her out. Then when she revived, he was easily beating her for most of the fight.
Then suddenly, for no reason other than the writer wanted Rey to win, she suddenly beats him. Kylo forgets all these other powers he has. He forgets that he could freeze her in place just as he had done to her earlier in the film. He forgets he could lift her into the air and fling her into a tree, just as he had done in the same scene even! He just loses because, welp, we want him to lose.
That’s as lazy and amateur as it gets.
