I'm ok with the idea of Snoke and Ren, but I really think it would have been cool if someone like Luke had fallen to the dark side. Would have loved it and you know what, it would have made sense.
Or had Ben as a good Jedi who in a search for knowledge found Palpatines holocron and his promise of power and fallen.
Ray really should have had her a$$ kicked in her first fight with Ren, like seriously, it would have made Ren look powerful, and a reason for her to find Skywalker.
Snoke should have stayed in the background until the third movie.
No stupid Diade in the force, I hated that.

It was the first eyeroll moment of many to come.
Rey being overpowered from the start killed much of any chance for tension or dread. In any hero's journey you need struggle and setbacks followed by some kind of redemption. They even managed to abandon the basics of compelling storytelling. Not to be that person, but in a lot of ways with Rey it felt like the "girl power" show. Rey kicking Kylo's ass multiple times, despite little to no experience. Rey showing older and wiser Luke how to not be a coward. Rey getting a rescue mission only to not need any saving whatsoever. Rey declaring her own identity without seeking said family's blessing. Rey saving helpless resistance survivors from the tunnels. Rey exploding ships with her angry face. Rey taking down the biggest baddie of all no problem while Ben is thrown down a hole. At least have her need the help of her friends at some point along the way. She didn't need anybody, her buddies just served as her audience that sometimes became liabilities by trying to step in and do things.
Daisy is a great actress but they totally butchered writing her character.
