He doesn't even look hot, he just looks really upset. Like someone dumped a bucket of water over his head.
Still, I have to give credit where it's due. They ended up making a Kylo meme for every single sequel trilogy movie before it came out (or at least before it's been out for too long). The crossguard saber, ben swolo, and now this. At the very least, sequel memers are consistent.
