T.C. posted:I was annoyed that the rebel pilot dude felt like a really superficial hero that we were supposed to be impressed by and hadn't earned it at all. From interviews I read when Force Awakens released, the rebel pilot dude Poe was supposed to die for real, but Abrams liked the actor so much that he reworked the script to keep him alive and bring him back later in the film. That being said, I think Super 8 is a J.J. Abrams film with soul, and a great love letter to Spielberg. The kids all goof around with each other realistically, and when characters fail to connect (e.g. the police officer father and his son), it's done very intentionally to reflect their profound social isolation and grief following the mother's death.

ijii posted:He struggled to beat Finn in a saber duel despite Finn not able to use the force or have experience in saber dueling. That bugged me too, until I realized that he struggled to beat Finn after being shot in the torso by a gun that's usually instadeath. Finn probably also had a reasonable understanding of saber-like combat, as stormtroopers were trained and equipped with electric batons that could stop lightsabers. Edit: which would provide for a nice excuse to make him a more capable combatant in the next film, after he's healed.
