Her character has an amazing arc, from what she was in the first Alien to Aliens and even Alien 3, its great character development, something that is lacking movies past 7 years, same with the bride in Kill Bill, and Sarah Conner from T1 and T2, these are amazing female characters. Not a Rey Skywalker who's magically the strongest Jedi out of the blue.

Would you say that the original Star Wars films were notable for their very profound characterisation or very believable character development? Both the originals and the latest ones are enjoyable popcorn movies based around very familiar, ancient narrative templates. Is there any major difference between Luke Skywalker acquiring Jedi powers and Rey doing the same? We know from the fictional conceit that these powers come from the mind rather than physical strength (epitomised by puny Yoda) so it's hardly a foreign concept that a woman of slight build can possess them. In both cases the characters realise they have something, struggle a bit to realise them, and then magically they're master warriors.

I’m no Star Wars fan, only recently decided to watch them properly, and yes there’s a big difference between the originals trilogy with the character of Luke to the sequel trilogy with Rey. For starters Luke starts of as arrogant and flawed character, has his struggles, loses his first major fight, even his arm, comes back stronger after learning from his mistakes, Rey on the other hand, there is no struggle, she wins every dual, understands how to fix pretty much everything, is practically perfect, it’s not good character development. It’s what you call a Mary Sue.

That is just pour writing

Not necessarilly OMG! WOKE

Just finished episode four. What an utter mess this show is. Two episodes left and sod all has happened beyond a few jump scares without context and loads of swirly patterns, again without context. Good lord this is rubbish. And yet I’m still watching. 🤦‍♂️

I’ll check it out, thanks.

I just read something that made this season even worse for me.

The season is supposed to be about - among other things - strong, powerful women. However every episode so far has ended or turned with a white male (Pete Prior) giving the two detective a lead or additional info to go and investigate.

If you're trying to make a show about strong, powerful women, having a white male come to the rescue in every episode isn't the way to go! 🤣

You don't half talk a load of $hite. For someone who does not like the show, it begs the question as to why you are still watching it.

The first three series I thought were very good then it got a bit stale, imo.
