in short the Satanist comparison falls flat for me.
Devil worshipers who are way over their head is but one example of people who have changed paths after seeing horrid things done to others by the faction/group they idolize/work for.
Also the situations in which an analogy is made don’t have to be exact but the message someone is trying to convey does.
I can’t be sure, but I remember Finn watching his friend get shot and I remember Finn watching Poe be interrogated by Kylo. Finn’s shot was the only blaster shot coming from pretty much the opposite direction of the villagers after all and it was easy to line up that shot and where Finn was dragged out from. But no I really can’t as I don’t own the movie yet.
Just because he saw Poe being interrogated doesn’t mean that he would instantly know it was Poe that killed him when there was an active battle going on. I’m sure he’ll find out eventually but it would unrealistic for him to know that immediately.
then I don’t think either of them are too responsible for being put in danger. I’ll still stand by Rey being responsible for chasing down and beating Finn though.
Fair enough
But seriously, dragging her out of danger mostly has to do with the fact that she isn’t reacting well to the danger.
Technically he didn’t give her the time to react initially before taking her hand but I digress
While girls might get dragged around more in films, this is one scene where it’s completely justified by the situation.
The first time was kind of justified but holding on to it for the length of time that he did wasn’t.
Well you know, when you’re getting shot at or with a wanted man, you tend to recognize danger when the bad guy points and shoots at you. Rey just kinda zoned out and focused on the droid when there was still a clear and present danger. And whizzing (is that the right word to describe this) ion engines right above you.
Single minded maybe but childish…no
There is no issue though because Finn never expressed doubt in her abilities.
Even if he didn’t mean it that way him holding her hand for so long is indicative of that. As is doing it twice.
Him holding onto her hand longer than he should have is just him focusing on not getting killed over letting Rey be the strong independent woman who don’t need no really handsome John Boyega.
While his intentions were pure he already knew Rey was capable of running on her own so it wasn’t warranted past getting her out of immediate danger.
He does it once and that’s it.
No, he took her hand twice.
