Reylo and the Problem with Loving a Villain

Video Description

I like Reylo but also think it's kind of bad and honestly, its inclusion in canon make both Kylo and Rey worse characters. Time to unpack all associated feelings with that. Something I didn't mention but found interesting is that the movies edit Kylo's footsteps to be incredibly loud and bassy, making him sound like a big, terrifying monster next to our small, vulnerable heroes. After he has his come to Han moment in Rise of Skywalker, his footsteps are suddenly much quieter, if discernible at all. (also kylo and rey aren't related. there was some strong fan speculation for a few years that rey was luke's daughter, but that obviously never became canon. not sure why people still think they're cousins, but I promise this isn't an incest ship.) 00:00 intro/oops I like reylo 1:35 it's okay to like unhealthy things 5:15 kylo is bad, and that's all good 14:44 rey is a good character, fight me (please don't) 19:02 this is a tasty, inevitable conflict 27:05 that mind reading scene is a yikes (content warning on screen) 33:40 end of mind reading content warning 33:42 this is an intentionally toxic relationship 37:19 rise of skywalker done messed up 39:23 kylo is good, and that's all bad 49:46 yikes you made rey validate her abuse 53:30 conclusion National Domestic Abuse Hotline: https://www.thehotline.org/get-help/ Therapist Reacts RAW to Nate from Euphoria Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEkU9IsQvJI&t=9s The Black Cauldron - Disney's Halloween Masterpiece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rzWdJ4vB8s&t=2309s Music: Pitter Patter by Purrple Cat | https://purrplecat.com Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en_US Spacetime Blues by Loopop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-EzTooIuho Feeling's Not Mutual by Single Friend Artist link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3-oWoJR-ofzb13SNr4dEag
