Don't worry, there's enough action and cac saving the day scenes to make up for the lone black characters short comings.Me reading that Finn's role is that of a comedic coward has me
I never should have read these last few pages
Nope. It was entertaining
It recouped and profited. How's that a flop.
I don't think you know what a flop is. It's a movir that a doesn't make its money back and make a profit for the studio

It flopped bruh. You have to take into account the millions they spent on marketing too.
Even Will said it was the most painful failure of his career. So ask him if think the flick flopped.
Must be more then what's on paper then
I agree with you breh, but at the same time to be fair, it was directed by M Night Shyamalan and he's been catching critical bricks consistently for the past several years. Can't blame folks for not wanting to see it. It was given meh reviews both professionally and word of mouth, and it wasn't all cism. We definitely should support our own, but we also need to support quality work too.
It didn't really recoup though. The general standard now is that a movie has to make 2x what the budget is to make up for the advertising and all the extra shyt
Hollywood accounting is a greasy practice, so by your definition Return of the Jedi is a flop since there's still no "studio profits" from that movie

In the next episode he will be killing storm troopers left and right. And we will all rejoice :I'm sure. This mad though. Thought he was gonna be soft and cowardly at first but that it was just the start of an arc that would see him man up and become a jedi
Still can't understand how Shamalamalan was picked to direct.
film was only 90 mins long. Such a terrible waste of film that could have been good if written and executed correctly. Actually I kind of liked the original idea which was non scifi, with them being in a car accident in the wilderness or some shyt.

- Finn: racist stereotype of the comic relief blackman, at one point he even gives a droid the 'nicca please' ('droid please')
It honestly wouldn't surprise me at this point.
Oh I already knew the storyline reason.He tries fighting Kylo Ren to protect Rey, once he gets in a shot Kylo goes ham on him - stabs him in the shoulder, throws him around a bit and finally slashes his entire back.
This KO's Finn.
Rey saves him, but leaves him unconscious with the Resistance (Leia's group) and gives him a kiss on the forehead
I'm talking about what is the PLOT reasoning behind this? Why end the movie in THAT way? It doesn't even sound like a natural way to end the character.
It seems kinda like a cop-out to me. They didn't want to have to deal with actually resolving whatever their relationship was meant to be, and we don't want to have to explain why he wouldn't follow her to Luke like Chewie did, so, leave him in a critical condition so we don't have to deal with it.
It reeks of a character that is a plot device.

Yeah well I mean this movie is the first in Finns character arc so it makes more sense that he's not all the way in badass mode.
If it's already confirmed he's not force sensitive (idk and don't want to tryna avoid spoilers) that's kindve beat but don't see the big deal. To a lot of people Han Solo and Lando are the coolest motherfukkers in the series and neither is force sensitive. So if Boyega kills his part which by all accounts he is, I think he'll be ok.

So I guess all we got is T'Challa left to try n hold shyt down now for us?
FixedHelp us Chadwick, you're our only hope
Got damn
man the coli ripped it apart and that's one of the reasons I was so late on seeing it but it wasn't even that bad.Damn we missed a chance with that one. We gonna be side kicks to Daisey and Jenn Law for the next ten years minimum
And get told, be patient the character arc is coming
They ain't fooling us, they gonna have Finn as black Peeta to Daisys Katniss

I always thought the chick was heralded as the "lead", maybe if you're talking about the previews (which I personally don't put much stock in), I understand then (dude wielding the light saber, and even then he looked pretty uncomfortable in the previews).
I was just reading the past five or six pages and folks are in knot over dude. Like, he was the only reason why they were checking out a Star Wars film just to see "Finn", someone that doesn't even have background to "critique" on. I hope coli posters weren't expecting dude to be Nat Turner of the force
Thanks for the clarification breh.
@Roman Brady called it tho that every trailer scene he looked overwhelmed or was sweating out of breath etc. he got trashed but he was right. We just wasn't trying to hear him tho
