Antis- Kelp Ron just manipulates Rey so he can use her #abuse. He better die in the next movie that fascist scum
In denial FanBoys- Kylo Ren is super smart and tactful and tricked Rey so he could rise to power as Supreme Leader. He’s totally going to be the big bad in episode IX.
Actual Ben Solo- Slides across the floor when he senses his crush calling, tells her she’ll never be alone, Takes off his glove to touch hands with said girl probably for the first time , finally stands up against his abuser of 29 years instead of killing this girl he’s known for 3 days, and begs her to rule to galaxy with him togther(not to mention the tears in his eyes when she rejects him)
But yeah sure he’s an evil genius who doesn’t care about her at all
Seriously though, when he extends his hand to Rey after the fight in the throne room, he looks for all the world like a 13 year old boy asking his crush to dance with him at Spring Fling. He’s got the nervous gulp and the shaky hand.
Adam Driver is just the best. One second he’s a beast and the next he’s a frightened teenage boy.
Liberal media (CNN/MSNBC/etc) are reviving that “Trump is mentally ill” BS again. They are even using appeals to authority via psychiatrists to legitimize this claim (bc who are you to argue with a psychiatrist, presumably a foremost expert on mental health?) Forget about the fact diagnosing someone without a personal evaluation is considered unethical.
Mentally ill & non-mentally PoC have been telling people this take is trash for a variety of reasons now. If you’re going to absolve white supremacy, you might as well just do it explicitly. This is yet another way that liberals either tacitly or knowing try to avoid the obvious: Trump is an unabashed representation of everything America stands for & they are trying to preserve its reputation by pathologizing him. It erases the impact of white supremacy & therefore endorses it.
