ST The relationship between Finn and Rose????!

I wouldn't be happy, I'd be both ecstatic and at peace!

For what it's worth, Luke Skywalker himself disagrees with you on Finn and Poe and LGBT story lines!



Even the actress for Rose disagrees:

Who do you “ship,” personally?

Oh man, I ship a lot of people. [Laughs] But I would say I ship Finn and Poe [Oscar Isaac] pretty hard. I’m excited to see what happens next. I don’t know — I kind of think Finn obviously looked very confused [about Rose's kiss], not sure what he was feeling on his end. We’ll see!

Omg that’s just pathetic.

Just because two guy characters become good friends they have to end up in love with each other? They need to stop promoting this “gay is ok” into every part of pop culture, it’s getting old now.

 

Ugh I'd like to know what you watch or read to see gays everywhere in pop culture because it's far from the reality. I cannot think of a single important character who is explicitly gay in most highest-grossing cinematographic franchises (Star Wars, LOTR, Harry Potter, Fast and Furious, MCU, X-Men, POTC, Transformers, DC...).
In most blockbuster movies, gay people don't exist.
I don't ship Poe and Finn but I don't understand why it bothers people so much if the two end up together?
Person of color and gay people can appear on screen for narrative reason too, not just to push some social agenda.
Well, being "gay is ok" so I don't see exactly what is wrong with the idea of promoting that positive message.

 

This thread has gone so far off-topic it isn't funny. Get back to Finn and Rose and discuss diverse representation in the Diversity thread.

 

Their dynamic was OK.

My issue was chemistry. Finn had a lot more with Rey, Poe and...DJ. So a lot of their scenes just fell flat for me. I just don't think they were the best choice in partners.

I'd be fine with them killing Rose off at the top of IX.

 

I will concede that I think that Finn and Rey did bounce off each other the best and that he and Poe also have a good back and forth. However, I thought that he and Rose also had a good dynamic. I'm still undecided if I want them to get together in Episode 9 (or future tie-ins, if both characters live through Episode 9 and continue their adventures in the novels and whatnot), but it worked for me. What part wasn't up to scratch for you?

Please don't.

 

It always comes down to chemistry for me. I either detect it, or I don't.

I've seen this film 3 times and FinnRose hasn't had any chemistry, to me at least. So I can't get on board with them. They were the weakest pairing in the film for me. Hopefully that changes in IX.

 

The rest of that article tells a lot about what they were going for with Rose, and her and Finn's relationship.

 

I liked FinnRose chemistry. The actors were good together. The problem with them was 100% the writing and directing. It set romantic FinnRose up to fail.

 

I was very pleased with the relationship formed between Finn and Rose. I heard so many bad things about her and how both lacked chemistry, but they were my favorite part of the movie to my own surprise. Rose opened Finn's eyes and helped him find a purpose, something he was unable to find in TFA's and at the start of TLJ when he was still tying to run away.

 

I can see FinnRose moving into romantic territory in IX. From a narrative perspective it makes sense.

But, for me, it's undercut by the strong chemistry he has with Poe and Rey. Sorry, but even JB's acting, and level of energy, his fire and charisma, sparked more for me in his interactions with OI and that brief moment with DR.

 

In real life the 3 actors grew really close with each other during TFA promotion, and it was obvious on-screen how much they bonded. It's really beautiful, but I also adored the chemistry between Daisy and Kelly and hope they interact a lot in IX too.

 

That's super refreshing to see. I'm fine with Rose, but she wasn't one of my favorites. But it's so refreshing to see someone who considers Finn/Rose their fave part of the film.

Overall, as much as I like the Force stuff, I think I might love the slow chase Rebellion stuff even more.

 

Yeah my interest in Kylo and Rey's relationship was what drew me to watch TLJ, and yes, they had the most amazing scenes, but every time we switched back to Finn, Rose and DJ, I found myself excited and fully invested. DJ revealing the good guys are not always good was a very touching scene and the intensity of Finn's near sacrifice (I knew he was not dying but I was still holding my breath) and the explosion that lights up the background as Rose kisses him and her words of hope was just beautiful!

 

I absolutely Love the Subplot with Finn and Rose on Canto Bight I heard a few people on here say It didn't really matter to the plot of the movie and Finn took a Step back. I totally disagree It was one of my favorite parts of the movie!

 

The brief moment with DR had the weight of the writing and directing of TFA to infuse the moment with emotion. That hug was literally my favorite moment of TLJ.

But to me that doesn’t undercut JB and KMT’s chemistry. It isn’t just JB that brought charisma to their scenes. They fit really well together. The actors anyway.

 

Same. Kylo/Rey blew me away.

But I found myself loving the Resistance chase plot so much. Leia, Poe, Holdo, all of it.

And I'm a fan of everything DJ. The film needed him more. I actually could've watched a whole film revolving around the Finn/Rose/DJ plot. I liked them as a little threesome.

 

Same! I also loved it and did not see it coming when Leia just blasts Poe lol and how Poe realized he was wrong about Holdo. I loved Holdo too and I am so glad DJ is alive. I swear he had a look of sadness and felt bad he betrayed them. His expression showed it, but he was always about his own survival and he did a horrible thing, and knew it too. Giving Rose her necklace back was sweet though and I keep thinking he's the new Lando of the ST, but a very dark version. I also loved how worked up Finn got when he took Rose's necklace. He is really beginning to care for her.

 

the only R named lady Finn should be going out with is REY!

 

Are you on team FinnRose instead of Finn/Rey now?

 

I’m not on a “team.” I’m not part of the Tumblr audience. I like what I like and I hate CW-style crap. At this point if I had my way, there would be zero romance in IX. RJ killed it with shallow subtext in every scene with actors of different genders. When I want Dawson’s Creek, and I won’t, I’ll watch Dawson’s Creek.

 

Clearly my wording was all around.

I meant, if given your way, would you rather see Finn end up romantically with Rose or Rey? Do you have a preference at this point?

 

My preference is no romance because RJ killed any opportunity for a moving romance by making everyone look shallow and open to whatever in TLJ. For me, great romance >>> no romance >>> bad romance. Bad romance occurs after everyone flirts with everyone and everyone angst’s over everyone. Actually the presence of angst at all usually makes a romance bad to me.

 

Because of the way it was written and then acted (which is not the actor's fault IMHO, but comes from the direction and storyline), to quote Bart Simpson: "I don't think it was physically possible, but this both sucks and blows at the same time"
