I liked the movie, but Kylo made no sense...

Why does he wear a mask...for JJ and for fans and to look menacing?

Vader was like Jason when he would take off the mask...totally destroyed physically and supposedly disgusting to look at and Vader couldn't breathe without it. The Vader mask served a purpose...

Ren takes off his mask and you're like WTF? Who is this little dude who seems totally fine?

There's really nothing menacing about him. He's a kid.

I think they made him that young for the under 25 generation (the audience Hollywood caters to today and directs all their attention) - Ren could have been a lot older considering how old Han is...Ren could be 30plus and more at least and less dorky. Was he supposed to be in his 30's? I don't know, he looked like a teenager to me and he wasn't cool at all or someone you feared...he wasn't a man.

To intimidate everyone around him. It's pretty simple.

Which is why he wears the mask. He doesn't look intimidating without it, while he does with it. Plus it helps bring him closer to his idol/ancestor Darth Vader. It makes total sense why he wears a mask.

It's a consensus that he's 28 or 29. He couldn't have been any older than that, considering the movie takes place 30 years after the Battle of Endor. He is literally as old as he could have been. He couldn't have been in his mid-30s.
