I know he got people killed but he also saved everyone's ass in that first scene and demoting him at a critical moment in the Resistance was a lamebrained idea that Leia never would have done.

I don't think you're remembering this correctly. He calls in the rest of his team after disabling the cannons on the dreadnought, not before. Leia orders him to return immediately afterwards, and he disregards her order and calls out the whole bomber squad> so they can destroy the dreadnought. Destroying the cannons was all they needed for their escape. Ignoring a direct order from a general and getting the whole bomber squad killed on a whim is blindingly stupid. Demotion is not punishment enough for that level of fuck up. And watching TFA you'd think he knew better. Those men and women were his friends and brothers an arms and trusted him with their lives. Where is the remorse?

She slaps him on the wrist, and he acts salty about it for the whole movie. And then he gets huffy when Holdo get's his promotion, and when she locks him out of the loop. This bitch tries to introduce himself to her as a Captain, thinking that she doesn't know that Leia demoted him. And then stews when she puts him in his place. It's so petty of him. Like this is not a battle for your honor Poe. You've known Leia for how long, why are you so stuck up in personal drama that you can't see the bigger picture?
This movie stops just short of character assassination for Poe here.
