Also, this shit about Poe f**king up. Did he really? They were, what, two lightspeed jumps away from "running out of fuel" as they say. He actually blew up the one ship that could have easily taken them all out during the OJ Simpson chase.

LOL the only thing missing from that scene was a White Bronco.

The forced Rose and Finn relationship was really weird. Was it meant to be sentimental? I've seen potatoes that have more chemistry than that pair.

Uh, yes he did. Massively.

He lost their entire bomber fleet and a tonne of fighters because he pushed ahead with the attack when the smart move was to cut and run.

Had he not done so, they’d have had offensive options after they jumped to light speed.

He then sooks that he doesn’t know the plan, despite not needing to, and then when finally told the plan (after much whining), he blabs it to everyone on the ship - including a double agent who informs the first order - and organises a mutiny.

His actions are responsible for the loss of all their fighting spacecraft, and eventually the entire fleet.

All because he assumes he knows best

Actually the only thing I consider a major plot flaw is that there are no real consequences to Poe's f**k ups.
After he commits mutiny Leia's reaction is basically "lulz classic Poe". merkin should have been in chains by the time the final battle rolled around.

At that point I assume they weren’t going to be picky about who was fighting with them, given they had only a few dozen bodies left.

But yes there wasn’t a tonne of punishment for his mutiny, outside of Leia giving him a bit of a taser shot

They jump to light speed and the big dreadnought follows them...

Yes I know. It also takes the First Order 30 seconds to track them then make the jump. They then have a full bevy of bombers and fighters to plan an attack and destroy it when it arrives, perhaps without suffering a complete loss of their fleet.

Even if you forgive Poe’s initial mistake, he then makes several more with his attempted mutiny and informing a first order spy about their escape plan.

No, because at that point they didn't know they could be tracked.

They figure it out after the first jump, form a plan while making the 2nd jump, and position to their ships for an attack.

They wouldn’t need to attack the dreadnought in that attack either, just the lead ship which would disable their tracking ability

Dreadnought jumps in, catches them completely by surprise, blows them away before they can formulate taking a shit.
