ST Rey & Kylo Ren in Episode IX

My meta narrative for Reylo.

 

Idk how to post a screenshot from the video of this scene, but gee, I wonder what happens next? Sooo hot.

 

Where's the romance indication in TLJ though, Mariel?

Seems just intrigue over the force-link thing, combined with Rey both trying to understand why in the monkey-hell he killed Han, and trying to gauge whether Leia's right in thinking he can be turned back. Which she eventually comes around to agreeing with mid-movie.

I honestly think half of this interpretation of actual romance just comes down to the fact there's a Ben shirtless scene. In which...yeah, Rey immediately tells him to put a shirt on. Haha. The rest of it's just trying to figure each other out, and why they seem to be entwined in a force destiny sense.

 

Reylo in a nutshell

If we wait a few pages, someone will post a picture of Kylo staring at Rey with the blank, disinterested stare of a serial killer, only it will be posted as proof of romance. Rey may or may not be shackled in said image... but probably is.

 

At least you’re wondering.

I feel that folks who argue that TLJ deliberately raised key questions about Rey and Kylo and left other stuff ambiguous are just accused of not grasping “the obvious” or wanting to be “spoon fed” answers they should be able to easily deduce.

 

Clearly a friend zone handshake. See how the fingers are pointed downward? It indicates that she actually likes Kylo Ren

 

Right? Oh that damn symbolism again!

 

Ah, Rey and Kylo's romantic meeting in the woods, where the "Princess" is frozen, threatened with a lightsaber right next to her face, knocked out, and Bridal Carried (TM) away by her "Prince".

 

If only the crew stopped comparing Kylo to a dark/prince and TFA as a fairytale maybe people wouldn't make such a big deal about it. (Personally, I found "dark prince" has a better ring to it, very melodramatic).

“And this moment where she is about to, for the first time, be confronted by Kylo Ren - a character who she’s going to have a very interesting relationship with, going forward.”

This is after he read TLJ's script so he knew where things were going for those two characters. He didn't seem repulsed by it judging by this comment.

 

Interesting is about as ambiguous as you can get. I could replace almost any name in the saga upon their first meeting with Kylo and Rey here and the sentence would still work perfectly... Luke and Darth Vader, Anakin and Qui Gon Jinn, Luke and Leia, Luke and Han, Han and Leia, Anakin and Palpatine.

 

All of those relationships are interesting, indeed. The question is what did make Rey and Kylo's dynamic in TLJ interesting in JJ's eyes, which is the context of that quote, and what does this mean for episode IX now that he came back to wrap things up?

 

Interesting obviously means sexual. It's the only possibility.

 

"Interesting relationship" = abducted, tortured, mind-raped, manipulated, frozen, held against her will, turned into a play thing to test Kylo's dark side resolve, forced into intimate contact by the writers, personal boundaries not cared for, and devalued as a person.

Yeah....sure.

 

I'm going with the assumption that he is referring to his own movie there, not a movie that he had not even seen yet.

 

The sad thing is that there’s plenty of symbolism in the ST but

Why? I see him as a “dark prince” of sorts. I see SW as a fairytale if sorts. Yet I don’t see romance. Because “evil man of privilege” =/= “love interest” and “fairy” =/= “romance.”

Raise your hand if you heard Vader called a “dark lord” in canon and concluded he’ll be romantically paired with Luke (or anyone, for that manner).

“Interesting” =/= “romance.” This kind of conflation just opens the ship up to mockery, frankly.

Not repulsed, no. But it’s not romance so I don’t see why he would be.

 

I'm open to every possibility so long as it makes sense to me (that includes romance) and that the movie is entertaining. And if I end up rooting for them, that's only a bonus.

 

This!! Well said!!! Having an open mind makes things much more enjoyable than going in looking for critiques.

 

Black cat & Cat woman have transcended their that role thou ..... Selina Kyle is going to be officially bruce's wife
Hence the Batman/Catwoman book starting in January 2020

black cat has been the kingpin Crime boss (who was worst then Fisk) of Marvel's New York since Otto (in Peter's body ) during superior Spiderman decked her and ruined peter's relationship with her almost 10 years ago . its just recently that Peter and black cat have started to be friends again (thou Peter is with MJ currently ) . theres also rumours that Black cat will become carnage once Cletus awakens Knull and becomes its Host. so the troupe with both examples are broken currently

 

Kylo Ren whining about how he had the hardest life of all because his parents had jobs vs. Rey who was literally abandoned and left to fend for herself since the age of 5 or Finn who was kidnapped as a child and raised without any love or affection is the height of white male privilege.

This guy reminds me of a RL Kylo Ren: https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/27/us/nyc-princeton-grad-murder-trial/index.html

Princeton grad killed father over allowance, prosecutors say.


Once part of Manhattan's social elite, a 30-year-old Princeton graduate lived off his parents, prosecutors say, spending his time surfing in the Hamptons -- until he killed his father over a cut to his weekly allowance.

"It wasn't until the dad started cutting off his money that the defendant decided to kill him," said Craig Ortner, an assistant district attorney with the Manhattan district attorney's office. "Literally hours before he was killed, (his father) further cut his allowance to $300."

If you look at Rian's other work this isn't a surprise. His previous works usually centre around white male pain. I think he look at Kylo and saw who he views as a natural protaganist being white and male as opposed to Rey (a woman) or Finn (a POC).

 

Well that is what I meant, but a much more elegant way of saying it . Anakin's bliss, for instance, was to be a hero and destroy the Sith, but he stopped following it when he fell to the dark side. Predestination can't be a thing because Anakin could have never returned to his bliss.

 

A Rey and Finn romance would also be romance though. In theory, that would also "attract more women." But that's never an argument when it comes to Finnrey.
