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.

They didnt do anything compelling or interesting with any of the characters.
