Is the casting for Kylo Ren the worst ever?

He was ill, it reminds me of Hayden when people were like "He's too dark and akward and comes off like a psycho instead of a nice guy"

He's supposed to be Darth Vader who the fukk did y'all think he was before he started torturing princesses and blowing up planets :dahell:

Adam fits who Kylo should be.

If you think you're lonely now, ohhh girl...
shyt, he might have done the best job out of the entire cast in terms of acting. The problem with his character is the script. They demystify Ren halfway through the movie (e.g., taking off his helmet so early, not being able to get the info from Rey, etc.) and it culminates in Rey kicking his ass. Hopefully, he gets to go ham in VIII.

Adam Driver is so hit or miss for me.

I'll say that when it comes to Kylo Ren though? COMPLETE miss. Dude's entire disposition and fake bravado was entirely unbelievable.

it was cringeworthy watching that shyt

I agree with you. He's not a terrible actor. But something about him ain't right.

How is this a thread failure?

I UNDERSTAND him trying to portray a kid from a broken home.

Y'all act like you all were the only ones who understand a basic fukking plot.

But.

The WAY he did it was cringeworthy. And I'm not budging on that. I believe John Boyegas portrayal of a naive kid WAY more than Adam Driver. Driver is painfully over melodramatic and histrionic. He's literally trying too hard.

He's a awkward looking mofo. I feel a lot fans might identify with that. That's why they're rooting for him. Maybe that's why he was casted.

Oh really? Let's have a look at what you wrote

Again, that was the point of the character. He was supposed to be a phony ass Vader stan overcompensating and you made a thread saying it was bad casting cause he came off like a phony ass Vader stan overcompensating. :francis:

Once this was pointed out to you, you fall back on "nah it was bad acting"

:mjlol: Take the L and let the thread die.

Y'all are afraid to call out shytty acting. Or you don't know it when you see it.

Boyega? Great acting. Totally believable. At no point did I feel like I'm in audience when I see him.

Adam Driver though? Whenever I see him on screen I instantly think of how awkward and frail he sounds. It's a shytty casting because it appeals to people who need obvious shyt spelled out for them. There's no nuance. They might as well have put a sign on his back that says "hey I hate my family and I suck at acting so take me seriously as portraying an awkward young man".

It's terrible.
