This is excellent:

The Last Jedi, toxic masculinity, and showing your place in all this

(Many spoilers)

ETA: EmoKyloRen just doesn't stop being funny... Under cut, cause spoilers:

no hux
i definitely have a girlfriend
we speak with our minds
she has a magic cave where she does syncopated snapping
and she’s super good with a lightsaber and like so strong with the force
no i don’t know her last name
but she definitely isn’t made up

The Last Jedi tells us what many other narratives like this do not. Kylo does not *deserve* redemption. There is no cookie for doing the bare minimum of recognising Rey’s worth and right to be the hero. He can only redeem himself by taking his place at her side, joining her team, accepting equality over supremacy. He doesn’t, and for that he receives the most terrible of punishments: being left alone with himself.

THIS.

I LOVE IT SO MUCH!
