ST Domhnall Gleeson (General Hux) in the ST

Especially since Hux came off as being so much more competent (and correct) than Ren. You really had to take your hat off to the guy .. I do think though, that by VIII, one way in which we will see the evolution of the main villain (Kylo), is by the altered dynamics between the him and Hux. Hux and Kylo will either be on a more respected partnership or .. (my guess), Kylo will have evolved to deadly calmness such that he genuinely intimidates Hux.

No comment on poor Captain Mitaka. Or Millicent.

In other non-Earth shattering news from a GFFA, Hux will apparently be still in the same FO general uniform (with that snappy greatcoat) as in VII - per Mark Hamill in his Oxford interview.

 

He should better stay like this

 

Honestly, even though he is playing a Spce-Nazi (since they used actual National Socialist rallies as the backdrop for the actual ruddy scene), I actually felt a soft spot for him .. he was so damn .. happy .. that tear in his eye shortly before the good citizens of Hosnian Prime were obliterated from all existence.

You have to concede that in VII anyway, he is a very good eh.. general.

 

I like Domnhall Gleeson, he did an excellent Job portraying Mr. Crazy Pants General Hux. Hopefully in VIII he will have more screentime.

 

Tooodayyyy!... always cracks me up when that bit comes up.... I like Hux, I think Kylo will end up killing him....

 

We should start placing bets on when this will happen..

I say: Act i episode IX..

 

Act 3 of episode 8....

 

He looks like he's having an almost religious experience, or getting very aroused. Honestly at this point I find him more "sympathetic" and am more invested in his possible "redemption" than Kylo's.

 

He looks so weasel-ey, I can't wait to see someone put him out of our misery

 

Hux is actually one of the most popular characters in the fandom, and the most popular 'ship' pairs him and Kylo romantically. I do wonder if that fan interest will lead to his getting a more prominent role in VIII, though I struggle to see how they could make time for that.

I must say that I'm curious to see what the fan reaction will be to Hux's inevitable death, especially in the very likely scenario where Kylo kills him.

 

He's popular in the female tumblr audience. That's about it.

 

Hey! Pablo's fond of him too - he gave him a cat!

 

Probably cheers ... from the GA. Frantic fanficing from the rest

 

Yep, that's pretty much what I expect. While Hux is absurdly popular within fandom, I'm pretty sure GA will be glad to see him get his thoroughly well-deserved comeuppance.

 

*very small percentage of fandom*

 

I'm not sure why you're so intent on belittingly the tumblr fandom. The Star Wars fandom on tumblr is far larger than the SW fandom on this message board, so it's only insignificant if you also agree that this message board and the views represented on it are insignificant.

 

When the only reason you're popular is because tumblr fangirls like to draw fanart of Kylo and Hux making out, you might not be as popular as you think you are.

 

How dare you! There's much more to Kylux than two hot young guys making out! There's Millicent, cross-stitch, administrating the First Order, etc. etc. It's all entirely legitimate and above board.

* From a certain point of view.

 

(ugghh.)

 

Sympathetic? trust me there is nothing sympathetic about Hux.

 

Yeah he was (judging by the details about his father that we've been given) likely raised practically from birth in this type of organization. So he's had their ideology/belief system drilled into his head for as long as he can remember, so of course he's a fanatic.

That is what makes him more "sympathetic" ironically than Kylo, who CHOSE to betray his loving family as an adult and voluntarily joined the FO. "Sympathy" is a loose term here, but I find Hux to be far less hateable than Kylo right now.

 

Hopefully he learns how to calm the f down in this movie....seeing as though there is a HUGE chance he isn't going to survive this episode. Then again I was convinced he'd die in episode 7 but whatever, the fangirls on tumblr seem to love him so I can see Disney keeping him around for a little while.

 

He's actually calm for like 98% of his screentime. He only goes full-on madman during his speech, and that's because he was channeling his inner Hitler (that guy tended to rant and rave during his speeches as well).

 

I don't know. He seems to be burning with anger in every scene.
