Probably already been said but it really is amazing how much the sequel trilogy butchered Hux after TFA

In TFA he was a snarling Nazi zealot who could barely contain himself at the prospect of murdering millions of people. The speech before unleashing Starkiller base was the perfect level of over-the-top acting and was a timely imitation of the bombastic style of some of the alt-right lunatics you see today. It really sold the First Order as a genuine threat by leaning into Abrams’ vision of it as “what if the Nazis regrouped in Argentina after WW2”.Then he became a laughingstock in later movies and along with it, any convincing sense of the First Order’s threat was lost too. What a waste. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/saCOgAk
