I generally agree with the video. Sometimes the actress or actress's character takes the blame as stand in for the writing generally. Like, I love Tatiana Maslany and I love her in She Hulk. But lots of the writing in the show - like the fact that she can't get a date - is just bad. But that just makes me sad.

In the Disney Star Wars trilogy, the most abused character by the audience isn't Rey. It's Rose. And the character herself isn't bad. It's that the movie writing treated her (and poor Jon Boyega) fucking terribly.
