This is kind of crazy to me. There are so many fair points to complain and discuss about on TLJ and people choose to stress over bombs? It’s not even a good nitpick. It’s so, for the lack of a better word, and apologies in advance if offending anyone, stupid. I don’t know what went through those people’s heads when watching the movie but I’m glad it didn’t happen in mine.
It is definitely a minor issue by itself but when combined with all the other issues, it becomes a bigger and recurring issue with the film (that the script isn’t really thought through all that well and is obviously the first draft of a single person, as Johnson himself stated…). That and it was brought up by Dom and other people trying to defend it, hence it being discussed.
