The other thing is Kylo had been shot and seriously wounded prior to the fight. Anyone else that gets shot with Chewie's cross bow instantly dies in every Star Wars movie. Its a bad ass gun. Kylo survived, managed to track down Fin and Rey and fight them.

You have a point with the cross bow shot, however, Fin was on trash duty and "freaked out" on his first fighting mission, so I guess he is not as badass as he could be if he was a seasoned trooper.
Also, his (probable) cousin defeats him right after the fight with Fin, I understand that the force is strong within her and that can explain why he couldn't break her while she was in custody, but she has 0 saber training. him on the other hand, regardless of his wounds single-handedly killed all of Luke's Padawans and has probably trained since he was old enough to walk.
I think that baddies in Star Wars movies should be much more badass than he is.
Darth Vader aside, even Darth Maul was able to (almost successfully) take on 2 trained Jedi knights on his own.
I would have liked a little more flamboyance than just surviving a Wookie shot.
Oh, and he should really keep his helmet on at all times even though, as mentioned above, he doesn't need it for anything else than not looking like a teenage douche.
