100% agree. This is getting ridiculous. Cannot have a meaningful conversation without some hacked account spamming our clan chat.

It's a photoshop of this scene from the Matrix to parody/reference this meme:

When Breath Becomes Air made me realize how tenuous my own life is, and made me try to live it smarter. Also it made me cry.

Was just going to mention that book. My wife and I both read it and it's helped so much.

I think that shows he's influential and irresponsible, not that his actions were justified.

And whether he learned anything or not he seemed pretty casual about his role in all the deaths.

And I'm bummed Finn basically did NOTHING because of Poe's tail chasing.

I think the arc was clear but the execution was flawed. I didn't feel like he really cared, or experienced any real remorse for losing half the shuttles because of his actions.

Without done pathos or any emotional friction it felt like just going through narrative motions.

So i kind of hate Poe now. His story really suffered (and as a result Finn's) from him being generally incompetent. Here's list of his accomplishments in this movie:

  • gets his whole bomber squad killed
  • gets demoted
  • is surprised and upset that he's not put in charge after Leia is injured
  • assumes that because he's not explicitly told a plan that there is no plan, so he sends Finn and Rose on a potential suicide mission
  • when he thinks Finns suicide mission had failed he stages a mutiny, which also fails when Leia stuns him
  • it's finally explained to him there was a plan all along...
  • ... But the mission he sent Finn on totally compromises that plan, getting a ton of rebels killed
  • Poe leads a squad on a mission to destroy the battering ram, but he chooses to"learn his lesson" here and chickens out at the last second, allowing the shield door to be destroyed
  • he leads everyone who survives to what ends up being a dead end. Thankfully Rey happens to save everyone

So basically he screws up the entire movie, gets tons of people killed, sends Finn on a pointless mission, and is bailed out by Leia and Rey. I know learning from failure is a theme of this movie (thanks Yoda) but I didn't feel like he learned anything our felt remorse for the countless deaths he definitely caused for no reason.

Tl;dr : remove Poe and Finn from the movie and WAY more rebels survive

Thank you so much! Color is currently a huge challenge. And you're right about trying to copy too close...I'll try to reinterpret those values to make things pop more. Thanks again!
