Why do people not like his character? They say he's too wimpy for a Sith Lord. (He's not a Sith though.) That he's overly emotional and can't get anything done. And that he's a loser for losing against "a girl who have never wielded a lightsaber". But that's the thing, those things people complain about him is what makes him such a good villain. He isn't pure evil, he's not supposed to be. Kylo Ren is not the big bad in Episode 7, he's just like Rey and Finn. One of the main characters, only difference is that he's working with the bad guys. He is a little kid who most likely got kidnapped or seduced into going with Snoke, promised power and control. He's that little brat who gets angry when he doesn't get what he wants, hence him breaking shit around him when things don't go as planned. But as they say in the movie, he's not all bad. Ben Solo is still in there, the good part of him, the two sides of Kylo Ren that he fights. He so badly wants to be this big bad guy that everybody fears, that most people who watched the movie dislike him for not being. But he just can't, not yet at least. He thought killing Han Solo would put him at ease and let him feel the dark side easier but I don't think it did. That's why he was so emotional during his fight with Rey, so much shit was going on in his head, he had just killed his father and then gotten shot by someone he most likely had grown up with before joining Snoke. So basically, what I'm saying is that he's a very complex character. He wants to be evil, he wants to be like Vader and bring fear onto his foes. But it doesn't work for him, because deep down he's still a good guy, the light is still so strong in him and that's what people who dislike his character do not understand. Kylo Ren is not evil. So for a poll, do you think Kylo Ren is a good character?
