It's the whole group of people.

It's all of them.

She's not doing it to all of them at the same time.

She's doing it to them one at a time.

There's points where I'm like, shoot her.

But there are points where I'm like, shoot fucking him.

I think even what you're talking about, we all have the it's a movie part of it, right?

It's a movie.

The Avengers, Stark invents time travel in about five or ten minutes, something that had never occurred for him to do in any way before.

Which he could have, right?

He wasn't properly motivated.

Right.

Maybe not, right?

But it's a movie.

In this film, though, particularly in a film made by filmmakers that have this type of expertise, what you expect is at least thematically

in a scene for the stakes to be ratcheted up and then there to be some actual thematic uh resolve to that and they just don't seem to be able to do that they seem to be able to like they're cobbling together a movie where shit happens like he can use the thing to get into her brain the mcguffin doesn't make sense and then at the same even with that right

I would have thought that that entire time that she would have become this clear and present threat to him.

Then she goes through something and she understands why she can break that type of tether that she has.

It never happens.

It's just kind of a thing that needs to exist to get the story from scene to scene, which is why in that regard, it reminded me of the Super Mario Brothers movie a little bit.
