Seen the movie for a second time last night. Better the second go around.
@ heads going in already convincing themselves to hate on Finns character. I knew what it was when y'all had the audacity to align Finn in the same breath as Jar Jar Binks. The hyperbole...that reach.
Dude was kidnapped as a child and raised to do one thing pull a trigger. No free will no free thought just one job in life is to pull the trigger when ordered. His first time on the field and he is ordered to kill unarmed innocent civilians and he refused. The first sign of someone "awakening". Even Kylo Ren felt something within him.
Makes up his own mind to abandoned the first order the first chance he gets rescues Poe. Dude never flew anything in life yet y'all giving him shyt for admitting he needed a pilot. He never operated that type of weaponry yet proved to be a fast learner and excelled to the point wear Poe would've been dead without him. No chance of an escape without him. That's not Jar Jar like at all.
Gets to Jakku and recognizes the droid Poe describes. Could have turned away when he saw Rey in trouble but attempted to help. SMH heads hating on him for grabbing her hand to her dislike to have someone particularly a male to help her. But that's Rey character to a T. A bit spoiled, a bit of a know all, a bit stubborn. Stubborn to the point that she was trying to get Finn to stop grabbing her hand and running BUT if it wasn't for Finn awareness she was been killed by the air strike. If it wasn't for Finn telling her to fly low they would've been locked in air space by the First Order right away. But y'all coming in with JAR JAR talk.
