I just didn't care that much about a character that they obviously made flawless and invulnerable. That's the same reason I switched from Superman comics to Batman comics when I was a kid.
“That’s the same reason I switched from Superman comics to Batman comics when I was a kid.”
Yeah, I always tell people Batman is a better character than Superman, exactly BECAUSE Superman is too perfect. There’s never any dramatic tension in a Superman story, because you know he will defeat anyone because he is virtually unstoppable.
Sure, someone will probably show up with a pocketful of kryptonite, but even that is predictable and Supe never fails to overcome it.
You’re right, this is the same reason Luke is better than Rey. Luke really was a dumb rube kid that was out of his element. Han Solo and Leia were both more qualified to be saving the galaxy than him, and they both gave him a bit of attitude to show they knew it. By Empire, he nearly screwed everything up, and if Vader hadn’t turned out to be his father and went easy on him, he would have been dead instead of just losing a hand. He had screwed up enough that when he managed to come back in ROTJ as a badass it was a meaningful change in his character.
Rey is a badass from the first scene she is in, so there is no way to give her any character development now.
