Was the Snoke reveal really worth it?
For the film itself, killing Snoke off was a really cool scene and the director really had some nerves to do it. People applauded when it happened, the accompanying score was excellent, and you can probably come up with lots of meaningful themes facilitated by the Psycho-style decision.
But look at the cost. Snoke may very well have been the most hyped movie villain of all time, and they got rid of that potential to pull a Hitchcock and have an epic scene. Of course, they can always bring him back in 9, but if they keep him dead it becomes unclear whether you would prefer this cute little twist over the truly epic storyline he could have provided.

Really?
I never got that impression. At the very least Thanos is more hyped. How was Snoke hyped?

This is one of the things I actually liked about the movie. Snoke was a poor man's Palpatine and we didn't need a repeat. Undoing the mistake of creating such a character in the first place was a stroke of genius on Rian's part. His mistake was utterly dropping the ball on Kylo Ren after his betrayal and depriving the film and presumably episode IX of a credible villain. Kylo the rationalist and pragmatist (offing Snoke, wisely dismissing the Jedi AND the Sith as a bad deal all the way around, and willingness to work alongside Rey to usher in an age of something new entirely ) is the villain the movie needed. Unfortunately, Kylo the petulant man child is all we have left. 🙁
As to Snoke though, I hope he stays gone. At an end his hype is and not short enough it was!
