Ronald Young Jr.

I agree with y'all because I feel like when you get to the story beat of the tension reaching its peak, it ends up being the exact same emotional beat from the first movie, which is I'm about to go on a trip overseas.

Why don't we put this on hold until I get back, which is exactly what happens in the first movie.

you just swap out Paris for Italy.

So I feel like what's the purpose of having this except to just add more tension when there's already enough bits of layered tension in the job that she has working at runway.

And then also to y'all's point, I agree with the not enough time spent and the emotional parts, especially of Miranda Priestly, because there's a confrontation between Miranda Priestly and another character in which I think some things were said that I needed to be resolved.

Because it seemed unfair for both of those character developments and in terms of like the development of this movie beyond the second iteration.

Because if it does well, let's face it, they're probably going to do a third.

And then it makes me wonder, so what's the fate of these characters in the next film based on where we ended in this one?

There's a lot of shenanigans, which I enjoyed, but there's also the emotional beats that you have.

Stay right there.

That's good.

These characters, that's expanding the depth of the movie.

You had an opportunity to do that.

And it feels like this movie doesn't exactly want to do that.

That was both of them.

We've covered both of them.

The one was the relationship and the other was Miranda Priestly, her confrontation with this character.

That just really irked me because I felt like that could have landed in a different place.

And then later I had to wonder whose side I'm on at that point, because at this point I looked at Andy Sachs and I'm like, do you have a North Star?

Is it really journalism?
