Why did this character turn into an exclusively comedy relief bumbling retard?

not that it was much better in TFA, mind you.

They had to keep him alive to pander to the tumblr audience since he's going to put his blaster in kylo's boipucci in the next movie

Making the bad guys competent might make them popular with the REAL bad guys in real life, like Trump supporters and Nazis, and you wouldn't want that.

White heteros should only been figures of ridicule.

Meh, he's probably the only character I liked more this time around.

To balance "le funny negro" Finn doing exactly the same.

He’s a fucking white male

When snoke starts flinging him around, all I could think of was how huge the quality gap was between that scene and something like this from ANH

I didnt think the comic relief bits were just to make him funny -- they were to make him as humiliated as pathetic as possible so he has more of a reason to turn against Kylo in the next film. The last shot we see of him is him staring Kylo down, clearly planning his revenge. One of his better moments (and a very subtle one) is also when he contemplates murdering Kylo before Kylo wakes up. It's obvious his troops are more loyal to him than Kylo especially since in the final battle scene he was basically the one translating Kylo's screeching into something coherent. He told Kylo that fighting Luke was a bad idea -- Kylo literally slapped him aside. Hux was right in the end.

Hux is going to be the reason Kylo turns good, because he's going to make life as unenjoyable for Kylo as possible.

DUDE YOUR MOM PRANK CALLS

XDDDD

> One of his better moments (and a very subtle one) is also when he contemplates murdering Kylo before Kylo wakes up.

That was not subtle at all and acually played as funny. There were several giggles in my theater when he hides his gun again.

villains can't be competent anymore or people might think they're cool.

Nice victim complex my man.

Villains have to be dumbed down so le quirky funny Marvel humor can lure more normies waste their money watching this garbage

Thrawn FUCKING WHEN

He's a white male who looks like Amon Goeth, of course they're going to make him a stumbling, bumbling fool

>one more Mary Sue PoC character
Hopefully never

Thanks, learnt it from all the niggers and pakis that dont belong in my country

>into an exclusively comedy relief bumbling retard?
character development arc took him to the vaudevillian side

...as with the rest of the SW franchise

>your country

kek

Is he basically The New Order now?

Only a Mary Sue can defeat a Mary Sue

he should've witnessed ren murder snoke and then pretended to swear loyalty to ren. that wouldve made things more interesting.

for now hes still an idiot who thinks rey somehow killed snoke and everyone else in the room but left kylo alive

You have to show racist blomfers just how stupid they are.

You have a point.
Captain of the destroyed Dreadnought was only on the screen for 20 sec but he's the only character I really liked.

literally one of the only good parts of the movie

Well judging from how all the coloured areas are ran looks like it'll fall apart before it ever becomes the gangstas paradise lefties seem to want

he's the living embodiment of someone who didn't vote for hillary clinton he deserves to be the butt of every slapstick joke

Why did he not defend the dreadnought? He had like 4-5 star destroyers with both guns and fighters, and yet he used none of this to defend the ship he was supposed to be escorting.

Competition. Dreadnought Captain was more capable than him and could have challenged his leadership.

I'd like to believe this, but then snoke got pissed at hux and threw him about because the dreadnought (which can't easily be replaced) was destroyed, and hux already knew snoke would be pissed because snoke was short-tempered with him in TFA, so I can't see him risking snoke's wrath just to kill off a potential rival.

Honestly I'm surprised hux wasn't just killed by snoke for incompetence. He lost starkiller base and then allowed the resistance to escape by ordering the dreadnought to attack the ground base first instead of the cruiser (which was already in range). The planet couldn't be evacuated if the cruiser was already destroyed so it made no sense to attack the ground base first.

Also that bomber fleet basically teleported out of nowhere, and there's no way any of the bombers would have been able to escape the blast radius so they were dead regardless of the outcome.

That Dreadnought Captain was the most competent sounding imperial officer I've ever seen in star wars. Shame he didn't get the fighter escort he needed.

Anyway, Snoke blatently says that Hux is a fool but he keeps him in position of power because he's easy to control. That's why Kylo hasn't killed him yet, because he understands Snoke's lessons in this department. A guy with any gravitas like the dreadnaught commander could easily turn the army against the supreme leader.

>hux
>tops
Have you even seen TLJ?

>I'll put a retarded yesman in charge
Was Snoke a Disney CEO?

This but unironically

I agree with this. I wouldn't want that Dreadnought Captain as a potential threat, honestly. Hux isn't completely harmless but he's still way easier to manipulate.

This.

They are trying to turn empire into idiots so people stop loving them.

A yesman is what you want if you aim for total control...

>The last shot we see of him is him staring Kylo down, clearly planning his revenge

All he had to do in that scene was order the walkers to fire on him. Nobody respects Kylo.

Putting yesmen in charge is exactly what long-serving dictators do. It's more important to have people loyal to you in positions of power who are useless than competent people who can overthrow you.

Yeah, that guy felt like he knew he was in a terrible movie.

Why did Snoke get upset when they lost the rebel ship the first time, if the hyperdrive locator was on his very ship

>implying it won't be Kylo who puts his lightsaber hilt deep in Hux's boipucci

Reminder that all Imperial strongholds are white supremacist (human) nations and officially /are nations/

>a single bomber is able to destroy a massive type of star destroyer, larger than the Resurgence class and dwarfing the older Imperial class
What did they mean by this?

Plus it's not like he needed a great General to fight 500 space terrorist.

Imagine one of those bombers but cloaked.

I'm confused as to what your problem is, user. Real life bombers can take out entire fucking cities and you're complaining that a space bomber can take out another space ship?

But this was a plot hole in itself. WTF are the characters actually in danger of if the man villain is incompetent.

>TLJ is just a space race
>rebels know exactly where to place their ships just out of range of TIE fighters but just close so there guns can't land a direct hit
>Hurr Durr we'll let them run out of fuel
>despite the fact that side characters can come and go willy nilly to different planets to search for a codebreaker

Literally nothing about the core story makes any sense from SW logic, and if the characters aren't in real danger its hard for the audience to care where the story goes.

>be a massive warship with highly advanced shields and thick armour plating
>some space chink in a rust bucket blows you up

kek. my sides

It's already impossible to feel any worry for the characters when there is a quirky Disney™ moment every 5 minutes taking away any tension that could have built up.

>White heteros should only been figures of ridicule.

Its almost as if non whites control the media....

The Eternal Mouse.

WHY WEREN"T THEY CLOAKED IN THE FIRST PLACE
REEEEEEEEEEE

am i the only one who thought he was called general huggs until they saw it in text. i actually liked the name, hux is bullshit

Episode V states that small ships can’t have cloaking devices.

>Be a bomber in Zero G
>Have to park on top of the enemy ship to drop bombs instead of just launching them through inertia and flying away

>Real life bombers can take out entire fucking cities
That's why real life armies (well, navies) keep constructing battleships, right?

I thought the leisure yacht and those transports were cloaked?

>general free hugs

I actually liked this character more than most of the cast.

Is that weird?

The yacht thing didn’t make any sense, and the First Order apparently wasn’t “scanning for small ships” (as if a fleet can’t track multiple targets in real space at once).

No, it's normal, considering the cast.
