Why couldn't Kylo use force lightning?
Rey who was Kylo's equal, was able to conjure lightning just by momentarily using her anger during the ship struggle. So why couldn't Kylo who had definitely tapped into his anger and rage more then Rey, conjure it?
It was a joke. The film seem to make the stupid implication that Palpatines have an inclination to using FL and that's why Rey was so easily able to use it. Absolutely awful.
They're supposed to be equal but that scene shows that Rey's TK is stronger, because they're at a stalemate (before Rey destroys the ship) even though Kylo is aided by the ship's engines.
Actually the novelization says Rey gets pissed because Kylo was winning the tug of war and that’s when she shoots the lightning. It’s meant to be a sign of her lineage and how easily she can lose her temper

And if you watch the scene again you can see that the ship actually wasn’t aiding Kylo. It turns around so that it’s working against whoever starts winning the tug of war
Nope. The ship was pointing up the whole time. If the novelization says Kylo was winning it's contradicting the movie. Whether it's intentional or not the movie portrays Rey's TK as superior.
Dude, rewatch the scene. You’re wrong, when Kylo starts to pull it closer to him it turns so that it’s fighting against him. See above what galan posted^
