timppu: an implied gay couple (Finn and Poe)
Breja: I've seen the movie twice and I still have no idea where people got that idea. I mean, I get where the idea about Chirrut and Baze in Rogue One comes from, I got that vibe from them too. But Finn and Poe? I've got nothing. If there was any romance implied in that movie it was Finn an Ray. Not that either is actually a thing in the next movie.
Yeah that's why I said implied (I haven't seen others suggesting it, I just got a faint impression of such). Also I have no idea yet how things proceed between different characters in later movies, if any.
My gay radar blipped faintly in the scene when Finn sees Poe again, understanding he didn't die in the crash. They give each other a very deep and warm hug and seem almost aroused for seeing each other alive, and when Poe compliments Finn for being a good soldier or whatever, Finn freezes for a moment puzzled, as if wondering if he should ask Poe for a date or what. Oh yeah and when Poe compliments Finn how fabulous his (Poe's) jacket looks on him, and wants Finn to keep it. Come on, kiss already!
Sure Rey and Finn also give each other a hug later in the movie, but I considered that as a similar hug as Leia and Luke in the Ep4. Also, in the end of the movie it is made clear Rey is friend-zoning Finn either way, as she profoundly says "friend!" to Finn. It is as if the movie makers wanted to make the viewers 100% clear that there will be no romance between Rey and Finn. Then again Rey is most probably lesbian anyway, I mean she doesn't even wear a sexy skirt.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course! And it takes one to know one and yadda yadda yadda.
