These are people that seen the very first Star Wars movie once as a kid and never got into it until Disney purchased Lucasfilm. They never read a single book or any of the comics before Marvel started doing them. Ask them about Knights of the Old Republic and they’ll look at you like you just asked them to recite all the numbers of Pi.

And let me put this out there. I get a few of the skills that Rey has. Like her survival skills or fighting skills. That’s justified from living on that planet all alone for many years. The rest of her skills does not make any sense. There’s no reason for her to have them. Not even Luke had those kind of skills and he’s had years of training from Yoda.

fighting skills

She was a scrawny girl that could fight multiple opponents with a stick. Her fighting skills made no sense.

It's less about skills and more about strength. You need both to be a good fighter. You can be the most skilled fighter in the world and you'll still get your ass beat if your opponent doesn't even notice when you hit him. Rey looks like she needs to have Kylo open jars for her.

It's slightly less egregious with things like lightsabers and the force, which almost take strength entirely out of the equation, but they just had to show her performing an implausible feat of strength first, to prove that she's better than men even with 0 MP.

Ok. Realistically yeah she wouldn’t be able to take on any man, but we’re talking movie magic here. Where every single show or movie that has a female protagonist can take on any man. Also, if we’re looking at realism, there would be no way she could survive on an empty desert planet. All I’m saying is that those two skills it would make sense from the perspective of it being a movie. All her other skills leaves too many plot holes.

Oh yeah I’ll admit that her fighting against Kylo or those red guards in The Last Jedi was bullshit. I only bring up fighting skills against the regulars of that planet she lives on. What I also did notice is that they even went out of their way to fuck up how Kylo fights. How the hell does his fighting skills look so subpar and on the same level as Rey? Those movies have so many plot holes that they never bother to fill in.

Spot on. I truly hate the rise of the fake geek and the people who never cared about these IPs until they became trendy
