Just a question for fellow Hux fans. Why did you latch onto General Genocide?
I mean Gleeson is cute and all, but in a film filled with cute actors, here is this space nazi and all around horrible person who had very little lines and screen time, didn't do much other than being a vehicle to fire the Starkiller, not very definitive characterization, and some rivalry with Kylo Ren.
Was it other people’s fanfics? I didn’t notice Hux at all until some very well-written fics depicting him as the long-suffering bureaucrat stuck fixing other people’s mistakes, and it filled me with sympathy (I know that feel). But that may not be the movie Hux at all. For all we know he may be a man who didn’t do any engineering planning for Starkiller, was not all that effective (look at their guard detail, 2 high valued prisoners one right after another, lack of personnel at a key weakness of the base), had never seen active combat (canonish), and only got there because daddy + young and easier to manipulate + is a vicious ass + everyone else sucked more + may be related to Palpatine + Snoke liked gingers + has a magical wish granting cat.

So why Hux?
