Let's be honest, she would be a better Jedi than Daisy Ridley

Let’s be honest, female protagonists are objectively shit in live action fantasy/scifi/action movies.

Only because that's how they're written.

lol no but I guess if you're comparing to Larson...
Either way Ridley is been a fine casting choice for Star Wars it's just too bad the writing in her movies has been so atrocious.

She unironically wouldn't
That's how shit she is
You might as well shill jennifer lawrence and emma stone if you shill this utter boring bitch

This. I like her in interviews and find her cute, but man is Rey just the biggest pile of bullshit ever.

Did her agent set her up for this little stunt?
Is she trying to seed the idea of being cast as Mara Jade by posing with a purple lightsaber?

I want to taste Daisy's turd cutter.

>Disney likes strong women
>willing to bring back Thrawn

Why?

It was his lightsaber she was holding.

She would be a great Kylo

Daisy did honestly great in TFA. She was naive, doe-eyed and unaware of how capable she was. You autists will argue with this, but Rey's characterization in TFA was perfect.
Everything was fucked in TLJ where she was asked to play a completely different character with the same name, all the playfulness was replaced with undue edginess. You can see that she was doing her best with the script, see how she turns serious lines to sound ironic to salvage shit writing, but Rian seems to be unaware of that during the whole duration of the film.

TLJ was better than TFA which was shit

Sam Jackson is like tetriary chracter in MCU, why would Feige hire Brie Laison just because she jerked him off?

>Rey's characterization in TFA was perfect

I think she could play a stormtrooper if they didnt give her any lines

Honestly, as a hater of both movies, if TLJ had a proper explanation like she was a clone of Sheev, than her arc in TFA makes a lot more sense. Instead it had nothing.

You're asking them to justify Rey's retarded and unearned power levels shit lord.

>Rey's characterization in TFA was perfect.
Perfectly awful.

Dude, Anakin was the exact same but had a proper explanation in midichlorians. Being a clone of a powerful Sith Lord is a perfectly reasonable explanation for Rey being absurdly powerful in the Force.

They didn't do this so not sure why you're getting upset, we all agree it's retarded but it could easily have been improved.

Bro you're misinterpreting me. I agree with you, but even a simple explanation like what you suggested is apparently intolerant or something. It's like unhinged middle aged women with axes to grind are in charge of the writing.

It's like the knew the first ever female Star Wars protagonist would be original and interesting to viewers, and just decided she needed absolutely nothing else to her. It's obviously by the way Kathleen and Rian talk about female characters in the making of documentaries that they're both retarded feminists.

just remove the head and we good

It literally doesn't matter if Rey's character and abilities are qualified in the sequel. That argument has no baring on her being a Mary Sue. If she is revealed to be literal space god, it doesn't change the fact that characters like that are BORING. They're unrelatable.

Neo from The Matrix is a perfect example of a protagonist in a fantasy setting done well. There is extreme tension in his final confrontation with Smith. We FEAR for him because up until that point we've witnessed his SHORTCOMINGS and WEAKNESSES. The movie has established that he's not perfect which makes his final fight far more ENGAGING. The odds are stacked against him. In the end he is revealed to be The One; effectively a god with the film's reality. But the reason we route for him and become invested is because we've seen him fail the jump. We've watched Morpheus beat the shit out of him. We've watched Trinity save him on the rooftop and we've been shown the Oracle to know far more than him and give him guidance. The One effectively gets his hand held by Morpheus and Trinity throughout the movie. It makes the payoff of his succeeding far more SATISFYING.

Rey doesn't have these moments. At all. People don't dislike her because she's a woman BUT being a woman is a big part of the reason why she is the way she is. In the current social and cultural landscape, JJ and Kennedy were so afraid of being accused of creating a 'weak' female character that they went too far the other way.

And, on a side note, any movie that can't stand up in its own right as a good film and relies on sequels to clarify massive holes in the protagonist's characterization, has failed in the presentation of that character.

I see where you're coming from.
If you take a look at Rey in TFA:
>A childlike girl that is surprised whenever she accomplishes something, hinting that there's something special about her that she's not aware of.
In TLJ:
>She's just a badass that does everything perfectly without any explanation, period.
The problem is, that TLJ retconned the characterization from TFA when she was revealed to be nobody. So as much as I agree with you if you only look at Rey in TFA in a void, your point is nullified by TLJ.

>A childlike girl that is surprised whenever she accomplishes something, hinting that there's something special about her that she's not aware of.
Where's the character development or character arc?

It was the first movie in a trilogy. She was introduced, something special about her was hinted, her character was consistent and played well. She was obviously a fish out of the water character, which is not necessarily a good idea for the protagonist (honestly it worked in Wonder Woman, as shit as the movie was). I worked in the context of the first movie, but the second movie didn't take the character anywhere, just turned it into a different character.

I 100% agree OP

It blows my mind that Disney of all people had Luke say the line "I came to this island to die." Make him a hermit if you want to but, fuck, give the biggest hero in film history some fucking dignity.

Funny how people think they are winning some political/cultural battle in threads about box offices. I learned in 2008 that this site is about da lulz. Nothing has changed but there are less posters who understand this.

The entire movie is offensively stupid, and it's poetic that the main character is the dumbest thing about it

These people don't know anything. They didn't understand the finer details of the original movies, and they don't understand the very basic plot elements and their respect for essential storytelling instinct

Luke Skywalker's entire character was not giving up when times look dire. He's essentially analogous for the good side of the force. His own father is trying to kill him, and he's on a suicide mission to try and salvage him

Whatever reason they had for making this decision was so weak that I can't even remember what it is

Attached: l-32757-nope-even-i-dont-want-this-one.jpg (700x606, 30K)

If nothing else, watching Mark Hamill in interviews struggling to come to terms with it and sending coded messages of "It's shit what they did to me" with his face and language was satisfying.

At this point I don't care, if enough people loved TLJ like it seems they did then it means they aren't firing Kennedy and Rian will probably get his trilogy and we're in store for more bullshit. Maybe the occasional videogame and comic or tv show will be good but I wouldn't mind if every big film shit all over it even more, fuck these people.

you're right! she would have just as much (0) sex appeal!

I remember seeing it in theaters opening week and having my gf (who doesn't give a shit about these movies) show visual disgust and asking ME if we could leave because it was just so terrible was hilarious to me. I mean you have to literally TRY to make a movie so fucking bad with so much quality source material. If we can manage to get EA and Disney to fuck off (which will probably never happen) then Star Wars has a chance

Daisy probably is a nudist since she's European

Mine was more depressing, saw a 50 year old dude with his wife a few rows below me who you could tell had grown up with it and he was doing wtf signs with his hands at everything Luke related. The thing that got the biggest reaction though was that ironing board joke when it looked like a ship landing but it was a droid ironing. He looked so confused and sad at Spaceballs humor in the middle of a tense scene, I felt the same.

>If she is revealed to be literal space god, it doesn't change the fact that characters like that are BORING. They're unrelatable.
Yeah what people need to realize is that the accusation of powers being unexplained is a rather loaded question. Explaining the powers is just the first step, and it's kind of presumed that the explanation is going to be a good one. That is, an author that takes the trouble to explain why Rey is good at the stuff she's good at is going to notice that she's getting overpowered and stop assigning new abilities in every scene.

But an explanation could help if it was a segue to a better story. Suppose Episode 8 revealed that Rey had a part of her memory suppressed, a part where she'd been abducted and spent several years training to use the force. That wouldn't fix The Force Awakens internal narrative, but it would address the plot hole in the overraching story. That alone wouldn't fix the Mary Sueness, but it would be a solid jumping-off point to give Rey some real motivations, struggles, and a place in the world. But then the resulting story would have looked absolutely nothing like The Last Jedi.

>You autists will argue with this, but Rey's characterization in TFA was perfect.
characterization?
no
she was well-cast I think, and did a fine job acting the role (yeah, I get it, you all hate her toothy slack-jaw but for the most part she is charismatic)
But characterization of Rey in TFA was a slow-motion train wreck. It starts off promising but by the end of the movie it's fucking retarded and no amount of charismatic acting could save it.

>Daisy at least has a good personality in real life and doesn't have a stuck up energy about her.
You're kidding, right? She definitely has a stuck up personality, especially compared to other actors like Boyega. She didn't even acknowledge the fans at the premiere and walked past everyone, while everyone else took the time to talk to fans and sign autographs. Don't tell me that you forgot about her lashing out at fans when people called Rey a mary-sue and constantly trying to make her character interesting and relevant. She hasn't gotten mad at airport security staff yet so I guess she's not as bad as Brie.

Her acting as atrocious.

>her character was consistent and played well
Not really. Consistent in that her unrealistic Mary Sue status increased consistently scene by scene, culminating in her defeating Kylo Ren 1v1 in a Lightsaber duel (a scene that was in no way written, choreographed or filmed such that Kylo's injury had any bearing whatsoever on the outcome, before any retard brainlet brings up the blaster wound).

By the end of the first movie of a trilogy you should be able to say something more about her and her place in the world than "her personality was consistent." By the end of TFA, Rey does not feel like she belongs in the story. You can really feel the hand of the writers warping reality to favor her with unrealistic victories and unearned relationships.

You're probably right. But a lot of actresses would be good Jedis. Ridley is fine.

>shes not a mary sue youre just an incel

If Rey walked around in her birthday suit, she'd freeze to death

But this picture is both cute and wholesome?

I like Diasy a lot. I don't think she's the problem. She's got great chemistry with Adam too.

She should take up nudism

Because she's got no emotions?

she should have no clothes

is rey a virgin
all the other jedi were celebit and the only one who wasnt got corrupted into a sith
can you become a jedi if you've already had sex?

Daisy, yes. Brie, no.

This, TLJ was way too different

No, Rey is amazing at sex. She learned how to fugg by messing with old wrecks in the desert, the same way she learned how to speak Wookie, and bypass compressors, and fight half a dozen armed men with a stick, etc.

I agree. That would have been a more fitting role. She is fun as Cap Marvel though.

Say goodbye to your right arm, fucking retard.

films would be better if she walked around naked

Just bring her in to play old Ahsoka.

>she'll never brand your ass with her lightsaber

No one liked the prequels retconning Anakin to be Force Jesus (who wasn't Jesus) either. In the OT he was just a guy who happened to be a skilled Jedi Knight and a traitor to his order. Luke redeeming him wasn't fulfilling some prophecy, it was a story about the Force in general and a son's love toward his father.

She means she sucked his filthy cock

aside from the fungus does anyone know what Brie's major health problem is? All actresses now have them and usually going in and out of hospital means gaining weight during shooting, once established as the character

ha haven't seen russell clean shaven for ages

I still would. A coke-fueled bone session with Daisy would be the highlight of my life.
