Kylo is a boy with a crush not an evil mastermind
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.
