If Phasma doesn't return she will be the worst villain in cinema history.

Why? Because she didn't shrug off a sucker punch from a wookiee like the Hulk? Her defeat was much more dignified than Boba Fett and many people consider him to be one of the coolest on-screen characters *ever.*
She can never be a great villain with that nurse voice. I expect her to say: oopa oooopa.

Yeah, that voice, yikes!
They tried to give her the female version of Boba Fett.
I did like it better the 2nd time though.

I didn't mind the voice. She sounded like...a woman. That scene where Finn fights the storm trooper, I would have replaced the ST with Phasma instead. It gives Phasma something to do, plus Finn needing Han's help would make more sense. Unlike the ST, Phasma would walk away.

I did like Finn's "don't be nervous" line to Poe.
"I'm talking to myself".

Yup, that should've been her battle instead of some random trooper.

Phasma was totally overblown by hype and marketing. No fault of the film itself really, rather the Disney marketing machine.

I blame the film too. She was planned by the filmmakers. Marketers just glommed on to her.
Whoever here said that Phasma should have battled Finn instead of that riot trooper was absolutely correct.

Abrams succeeded in directing a better Star Wars film than 75% of the Star Wars films directed by Lucas.
The first 'classic' Star Wars film since 1983.
But TFA borrowed heavily on ANH even for some people to say it was a remake of ANH. Does Abrams lose any points for that or is it just enough to worship him because he made a film that was better than four crappy films? Yes, ROTJ was crap.

She certainly was really bad ass looking.
Real damn shame.
Real damn shame.
And the fans who hyped her up as the next Fett. Then when she doesn't live up to there expectations and they sit and cry about screen time

To be fair, it's kind of bad when you can't even live up to Boba Fett.
If anything, I'd say she made Boba proud.

Never felt any hype for Phasma.
She just looked good and was a first order big baddie.
There was two occasions to give her a chance to shine.
It was not just cool but worked in the script.
Dumbass.

I liked Phasma. I took her lack of "importance" as just another one of the film's surprises. Was it a bad surprise? Nah, because her character as it was presented fit well into the story.
Liked her voice. Sounded soothing but in a cold, "I'll shoot you between the eyes if you get comfortable around me" kind of way.
And for whatever it's worth the Art book revealed that her armor was designed by one of the artists trying to come up with a cool look for Kylo. Obviously Abrams went another way for Kylo but liked the silver stormtrooper so much he made sure "he" appeared in the movie and then changed the gender to female. Then the marketing machine ran with the "coolness" of her visual aesthetic. I really liked that she was never unmasked. In fact I wasn't familiar with the actress who played her so the first time I saw the film I didn't have a clue what she looked like. Very fascinating IMO.
None of the trailers said "This is Phasma! She's a girl! WAIT until you see her!" The one trailer just showed her walking just like we saw the one quick shot of the TIE pilot chasing the Falcon. But nobody made a big deal about the TIE Pilot so he's just one more cool thing about the movie and Phasma was apparently a big letdown, but I don't think that was the case.
I'm also glad she wasn't the Riot Officer. One of the things that I thought was really cool about TFA is that it gave such "character" to regular troopers. Finn, Riot, Craig, etc.

Yeah, I don't get screen time complaints. The Spacetroopers were these totally awesome guys in ANH that for two seconds hinted at such a cool facet of the Imperial "machine" but the Snowtroopers who appear in TFA are looked at is if they were a wasted opportunity. Remember the Emperor's Royal Guards in Jedi? They did nothing. Literally. But were so cool. People used to like characters like that in Star Wars.
