Poe killed Finns friend
finn doesn't seem that upset about it though..
shareA warlike person who'd make a good stormtrooper would react with "That man killed my friend, I must get revenge!".
An intelligent and thoughtful person would react with "War sucks, that man shot my friend without knowing anything about him but that he's wearing stormtrooper armor, and both I and my late friend are expected to shoot at him with no more reason than that we were told to. I am not angry at that man with the gun, I'm angry at the higher-ups who ordered me and my friend into a fight and who put no value out our lives, I am fucking OUT of here!".
And that's the difference between a potential hero and a good stormtrooper.
Right because warriors can't be intelligent, thoughtful and aware. That is pretty insulting to anyone that has ever served in any military to assume the only one's that would make a "good stormtrooper" are mindless killing machines that would want revenge for the killing of a comrade. It couldn't be they are actually thoughtful individuals that are working as a team to keep the person to the left and right alive so they can go home? Also if you had no idea who the enemy that killed your brother in arms was you wouldn't just jump ship with them for no reason other than "its the right thing to do". That is actually less thoughtful than trying to understand both sides of the war and come to a conclusion that the actions of your side were unjustified.
Instead of just admitting Finn is an inconsistently written character that behaves as needed by the plot you come up with an excuse that all good stormtroopers are mindless while any intelligent and thoughtful person would rebel/cower/run and blame their superiors for their role in causing it all. this ignores the type of indoctrination that child soldiers go through which is equivalent to Finn's background.

Did you read what he posted, or not?
You know both descriptions were about warriors, right? The first description is a warrior who would make "a good stormtrooper," and the second is about an "intelligent and thoughtful" warrior who is a "potential hero."
Both men were in the same war-like situation, so both were warriors. share
Huh. That's a nice spin on it. Finn's characterization sucked, but at least your view gives him some degree of intelligence.
