Vitriol may be abit strong. Most of the comments against pointing out flaws surround:
A) The original trilogy had similar holes/flaws. If you're going to apply hate to them here, you should apply the same hate to those.
B) There is plenty of time to explain unexplained things in the later movies (Who's Rey? Why could she beat Kylo (even in spite of his lack of experience, strength and health at that point)? What's Finn's background? Who are the Resistance and what type of support do they have?) I mean, arent these questions part of the fun of having a pre-determined series, instead of trying to intertwine a bunch of standalone projects?
The gripes about similarities to A New Hope, I understand (although I also sort of think that was the point), and with Chrome Trooper and all that stuff. But there seems to be a lot of crying over missed plot points/exposition that could still (and likely will) be revealed.
