Also it was implied that Finn was
You know does that even need to be a spoiler? Because what idiot would come on this thread without seeing Episode VII?

All we ever see of Ren is him picking on those weaker than him and trying to act evil. He's a facade that was easily overcome when actually challenged. He'll probably develop into a much more formiddable villain in the next film after Snoke's training.
Chuckman wrote:"Show don't tell" is a canard at this point. It's vastly overused. (snip)
Chuckman wrote:The fault with Abram's version isSPOILER: ShowWe're presented with a lot of showing without any telling for context. We don't even know what planet is blown up. Was that Coruscant? is Not-Yoda's bar planet so close to Corsucant that it's visible in daylight? Where is the Megadethstar, exactly? DId it have to move to eat another sun after firing the first time?
I'm getting into repeating myself here, but my point is that everything in the background has been reduced in prominence to the point that it's just noise. We don't know what the First Order even is or what they want. That's a problem.
The antagonists int he OT have clear goals:
Star Wars: Destroy the Rebellion and complete the Emperor's grip on the galaxy
The Empire Strikes Back: Destroy the Rebellion, capture Luke Skywalker
Return of the Jedi: Destroy the Rebellion (with a trap this time) and turn Luke Skywalker to the Dark Side
It's not clear to me from Force Awakens what the First Order is, who Snoke is, where either of them came from, or what they want. It's implied, it's hinted, but the hints aren't strong enough to put a coherent picture together.
