Not every villain is scary through sheer power. Kylo is not a good villain like Vader in that regard. But, let's look at pro wrestling. Yeah, you have guys like Triple H who always seem to win and pound people into bloody messes. But, look at Ric Flair. He won all the time, but would get thrashed in 95% of the match before he won. He always appeared beatable but would win through cheating or something like that. My point is, you can have a good heel without them being OP. Kylo in this case is a good villain because he is unhinged, can't control himself, etc. His flaws make him interesting. I am curious to see what a guy like that looks like as Emperor. We already saw the OP Palpatine or Snoke versions. We've treaded that ground. Kylo will be something new. I find that refreshing.
But they keep telling us how powerful Kylo Ren is. It's not my interpretation, it's a fact.
As for wrestling, the way you build a heel like Triple H is to have him win almost all of the time. That makes people hate him more and they can't wait to see a face come and beat him, which also makes them get behind the faces more.
What they've done with Kylo and Rey is a great example of when wrestling doesn't work. People don't care about the heel that never actually win and make them frustrated, and Rey is the face the company is trying to push down the audience's throat which makes some go against it.
This actually does fit pretty well with the Roman Reigns. The company wants to push how awesome Rey is so she just succeeds at everything, but that doesn't make a character interesting so some of the audience turns against it. Just like it has been with Reigns. Kylo is the Bray Wyatt that's been pushed up to become champion, but since he's been jobbed out previous to that no one takes him seriously, but the crowd is more behind him because he's seen as a better performer than Regins that hasn't gotten his due.
With Luke I guess it's like bringing back Shawn Michaels and have him look bad and act out of character to make Roman Reigns look good.
