Humor does not equal goofy, at least not for me. YMMV.
And we still see the soldier come out, specifically in combat. The rest of the time he is trying to fake being that ordinary guy. But, it doesn't come across as perfectly natural.
Whatever happened to Finn and Rey’s romance?

And then, an hour or so later, he's cackling and whooping while blowing up his fellow FO troops with Poe. This is incoherent screenwriting, plain and simple. It only works if you don't care one bit about a credible story, and only want to watch likable, charismatic actors be likable and charismatic.
Bullshit. Soldiers in combat operate as a team, spending as much time and energy directing each other as targeting the enemy. Name one instance in which Finn attempts to interact with his allies for tactical purposes beyond what we see from any other given SW civilian character (i.e., Luke, Han, Rey, Leia, etc.). There isn't one, and you're making s*** up.
No, actually, since I do care about those things. So, its probably not black and white.
As a soldier, Finn was one hell of a janitor.
Honestly, it seemed to me that most of Finn's victories in combat were the results of dumb luck more than anything else.
I am glad Rey and Fin. Did NOT get together...it would be soooo cliche.
What I would have liked to have seen is that Poe is actually already married and has kids, and that they have adopted Finn as their uncle. For me, that would have been sweet.

That pales in comparison to how cliche Rey and Kylo would be.
I do think there might have been the potential for something between Rey and Finn, even if it was hopelessly one-sided on Finn's part. Finn definitely seemed eager to move heaven and earth twice to save Rey, and maybe that could have been developed more in Episode VIII...but with the introduction of Rose--fuggedaboutit. Finn is firmly locked in the Friend Zone with Rey.
Their "relationship" seemed solid to me. They are friends, nothing more. I never got any "romantic" vibes between the two characters in TFA. Frankly I'm glad that it stayed that way because IMO too many movies are bogged down when they try and force a romantic relationship in.
Despite my serious misgivings with the Finn character, John Boyega and Daisy Ridley have chemistry together, and I think Finn and Rey should be together. It feels more natural than her and Ren, a man she saw murder her somewhat father-figure, among his other crimes. Despite The Last Jedi keeping them apart, when they embraced, Ridley/Rey closed her eyes and was into that hug, as was Boyega/Finn, it was one of the most genuine emotional moments in that film, along with Luke and Leia reuniting. Finn and Rose Tico feels forced, like that romance was concocted to keep Finn out of the running, to clear the way for a Rey and Ren romance. Though they might just try to go with Rey and Poe too.
You'd be sadly disappointed and wonder why you'd left one of the most beautiful and culturally rich nations in the world and all of the benefits that go hand in hand with its' world class education and healthcare?
I do agree though, Finns' backstory was underused and essentially became a plot device for rescuing Poe.

It wasn't a plot device to rescue Poe since Poe has virtually no importance to the plot and was originally written to die in the escape attempt.
It was just something that sounded cool on paper as a good story for a new star wars character ("Ex stormtrooper defects! Cool!") But the writers never truly grappled with the implications of that in any kind of meaningful way and it was basically tossed aside almost immediately, except when Phasma brought it up.
Poe does seem to have some importance by the time of TLJ...
I think Finn's story is actually an interesting story when set up with Rey's. Finn is the opposite, someone who is running away from what he fears, while Rey is afraid to leave. Both have to come to grips with finding their place, not within a larger order but on a very individual level.
It is a bit more existential and esoteric than perhaps Anakin and Luke. It's less black and white, and far more personal. But, I think they complement each other well, even if I think Finn's acceptance into the Resistance strains believability a bit.

Resistance Reborn shuts down any romantic relationship between Finn and Rey or Rose.

How brianwashing works (sometimes), indoctrination, is that the subject is tricked into falling in love with their capturor so that they behave and obey.
If Finn had a hard on for anyone after 20 years in an education tank, it's Phasma, or more likely 'anyone" who is wearing one of those silver Stormtrooper masks.
Subtracting that mask from any potential relationship could quite possibly make Finn entirely sexually inadequate.
Rose has to wear Phasma's helmet, if they want to make babies.

I disagree with the article's conclusion that it "would be forced" because I think they could make it work. However, I am perfectly fine with this trilogy not having a romance.
My take away from that is that, the sexy man asked the sexy boy if he is disinterested in the two sexy girls hanging off him, and the sexy boy says that he has zero interest at all in sexy girls, which made the sexy man happy.
Poe is gearing up to date Finn.

It was never a romance, but I think Boyega and Ridley had such amazing chemistry it made people buy into there being the beginnings of a romantic relationship. Boyega and Isaac also had amazing chemistry which again made people buy into their friendship having some homoeroticism.
Personally I'd be fine with Rey, Finn and Poe having some sort of pansexual polygamist relationship.

I'm wondering what Hux's relationship status is?
He did share a sex robot with Poe once upon a time.
