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’m not arguing that the point you’re trying to make is wrong, but I think it’s wrong to compare Satanists (who choose to worship Satan/act like edgy special snowflakes) to the First Order soldiers (who were abducted as kids and forced to commit horrible acts worse than any goth teen with his little copy of The Satanic Bible by Anton LaVey ever could).
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.
Fair enough, it just seems odd that Finn should place the lives of people he doesn’t know over the only people he does know.
Everything related to the hand holding
This is really going in circles now so I don’t think it’s worth arguing about anymore. Buuutttt…
Honestly have no idea which side people are on with this hand holding thing but I’d like to just mention something people tend to forget which is Rey’s a loner, or at least fancies herself one. I figure that has more to do with the “don’t hold my hand” than anything else.
This is a really fair point and it’s something I didn’t consider.
