Spoilers ahead. Read at your own risk, obviously. Now, we've all seen the massive amounts of Star Wars talk across the Internet. Most prevalent amongst the litany of discussion-topics are: -Just how -blam!-ing sick Storm Trooper of Sick Spins' sick spins were. -How Rey was a super cool character but maaaaay have edged into Mary Sue territory a bit. -And lastly, and most relevant to the topic, how much of a jobber poor Darth Tantrum was. But does Kylo really suck anywhere nearly as much as people think he does? Or even at all? Yes, he was immature and more than a bit of a slavering Vader fanboy. Yes, he, y'know, murdered his dad like a little -blam!-boy. But one of the things he is criticized most for, his loss in the film's climactic lightsaber-duel, really isn't a fair jab. Why? Because Kylo had been shot in the side five minutes earlier with a gun that knocked fully grown men in armor ten feet on their ass. And like a champ, Kylo got back up and marched back out into the cold, dripping blood out of his chest-cavity, so that he could take on two armed opponents. Kylo's fighting ability was rather severely impeded by his heavy injury, and I don't see any other past villains doing too much better than he did in his situation. Observe the way he walks-- he's stiff, confined to a slightly hunched, twisted posture. He cannot sidestep, backstep, or even advance terribly quickly in that position. Had he not been slowed and hampered by wounds, the fight would have gone much differently.
