Not necessarily. They didn't kill the family that crashed during the ewok movies.

@@justinbrown3053 Post Episode 6. The kinder/gentler Ewoks. Which is ironic as those movies took place prior to the events in Return of the Jedi so they wouldn't be the kinder/gentler Ewoks. But it was either that or try to explain how the family is still stranded with a least one Imperial facility and a graveyard of equipment within walking distance of the Ewok habitat.

[@michaelwalker7400]

There was the family, and Wilford Brimley that landed there before the Empire. Mom, dad, and the son were killed in the second movie, so they had access to clothes. Maybe they ate them afterwards, but they would have had to fight pirates to do that.

Jack saving Rose’s life by preventing her suicide likely doomed the ship to collide with the ice burg. Consider: her jumping off the ship would have led to a “man overboard alarm”, this in turn would have caused the Titanic to stop and attempt rescue. Whether the rescue is successful or not, this would have meant that Titanic would not collied with that ice burg.

I thought about the Titanic one on the same day I saw the movie back in 97. Rose gets married, shares her life with this man, has kids and grandkids and on her death bed she doesn't think about any of the people she shared the last 80 years with, she thinks about the guy she shagged in the back of a car on a boat on night in 1912. The romantic story in that movie was the old couple going to sleep in bed together while the ship was sinking.

[@NekoHibaCosplay]

I had a lot of this kind of conversations during my philosophy classes. It's an awesome and entertaining mental exercise to see how people around you perceive time and space. The most shared opinion from my peers was that this could leave to another kind of trauma, and could potentially hind your mental health as well: let's assume you go back from 45 to 12 years old, of course you will be less likely to be childish, stop being spoiled, your analitic thinking would be more keen, but people around you, especially your parents, would notice the sudden change in your behaviour and fear some kind of mental or physical illness has occurred to you [some brain tumors are known to bring heavy changes in behaviour, just to name one] Then again, knowing most if not all the good and bad things that happened in your life and putting a correction course on them will for sure bring your life on a better way, but could also bring some mental confusion when you live again a moment but since you changed the outcome your mind would be "split in half", one part re-living the original timeline and the other one processing the new timeline. Not to mention the implications of the butterfly effect, just taking another road to go home or going out in a different time from the first timeline can change everything. The underlines of the world will remain as you remember, but your daily life will change more and more from what you remember in an exponential way the longer you relive your early years.

I think the Jumanji ending is probably the most optimistic. Based on the simple fact is that you have to remember both Alan and Sarah had trauma from that 30 years. When getting those 30 years back they can also fix their missteps and learn from passing stakes. The emotional intelligence that they have in their younger years now will guide them into a better future Also they already know who each other are which could give it them a better foundation for their relationship with their marriage all the way through to their later adult years in the new timeline.

[@jackroyaltea5034]

Thank you! I totally agree and was going to make my own comment thread but I saw yours. Most of the stress after trauma comes from the fact that you can’t change anything and the fact that you have to accept it. They get to start fresh and even tho they experienced it, the trauma never happens. They literally get to do it over as if it never happened. They get to make a new life and make it however they want. Also imagine the money they could make. Just invest in Apple or Microsoft. Or make bets on games you knew the outcome of. I’m sure Sarah read a lot as she was hurt from Alan’s death. Then the advanced intelligence they must have. Well at least Sarah. I doubt Alan went to school in Jumanji. However I doubt he’s be afraid of life. He’d love to it’s fullest.

[@jamaaldawkins5019]

Agreed, I can’t count how many people kill to have a do over with their childhood, especially if you retained all your memories

[@leahhart3585]

Right they get to be kids and know how precious childhood is.

[@tedwojtasik8781]

Problem is they are not kids mentally or experience wise. The other problem is all of that experience is now locked up in two less than fully developed brains so who knows what type of mental trauma would ensue as a result. The brain is not fully developed until around 20 years old with the higher functions such as empathy developing last. Children for all intent and purpose are in fact sociopaths as they do not understand empathy nor have any true capacity for it. Just imagine having 30 more years of life experiences, locked in a child's body and a brain with the physical development of a sociopath.

[@Yorgar]

Also what is shown in the ending is that they somehow got through it, likely making them better.

[@ImNorman]

The real question is, did the Ewoks serve the Storm Troopers to EVERYONE at the party!?

[@alm2187]

Guess there's a chance meat could get passed around and our good-guys don't give adequate thought to what kind. To estimate how big a chance, we'd need knowledge of topics that Star Wars doesn't take time for. Would medics in that reality tell us any food on any moon is safe, or none is? Only precedent off the top of my head is Luke on Dagobah. He's protective of his rations. Also only tries Yoda's cooking with reluctance. Yes; seems like he just doesn't find it appetizing, but he could be conflicted between survival training and houseguest etiquette. Anyway, without more info, we can fall back on common sense. Seems likely as not that humans and Wookie would refuse to eat unidentified meat.

[@DireCrow]

I think finally beating the game of Jumanji and being rewarded with a second chance at life was all the therapy Alan and Judy needed. They clearly did well for themselves as adults.

[@terencepaul7475]

For the Jumanji part I kinda remember there was a scene where Alan asked Sarah how its like for her to be young again and she replies with it felt like she's slowly forgetting her experiences as an adult and then she kissed Alan "before she forgets how to". So it might be a good guess that the game covered their bases and gave them a sort of "reset".

[@cobbsta88]

Very true, it's a bit of a mind bend the more you think about, as the brain of a child is pysically different to the brain of an adult. So they would have memories of processing complex adult emotions, with the hormones and underdeveloped frontal cortex of a child.

[@roguesmile1491]

Sarah has a history of going to therapy and Alan's family has the money for it. The trauma wasn't secret, I always assumed they got therapy.

[@Colin_]

If the game did do a reset then how do they remember the kids many years later or when they both shouted 'no!' when the kids parents mentioned they were going away on a trip, the same trip which would have led to their deaths so Alan and Sarah do remember everything that happened.

I felt similar about the conclusion of Titanic as well. I try to justify it by thinking Rose had already made peace with the passing of her husband. Whereas her experience with Jack and the doomed cruise ship completely changed her life, but she never put the ghosts to rest. That is why she secretly kept The Heart Of The Ocean for decades, instead of selling it, donating it a museum, or returning it to her former fiance's family. By dropping the jewelry into the sea, Rose was able to die in peace and reconnect with Jack and the ship to achieve closure. There was also the possibility that Rose's marriage SUCKED! Divorce was nowhere near as common back then. 🤷

[@alm2187]

Compare & contrast: afterlife reunion formal in a big room with Jack and other friendly people who once met on a crashing ship...or plane if we're talking about Lost. ;-P Common critique: it implies that the random set of people you once shared a passenger vehicle with are more important than your family and lifelong friends. My explanation: no one said you have to spend eternity at one party. Between scenes (death and big room), each character involved might have gone to family reunion, then high school varsity team reunion, then favorite workplace reunion, etc. NATURALLY, you'll want to make it to your historical crash survivor & non-survivor mixer reunion eventually! :-D

In the novel, and I believe even the creators of the movie addressed this too, Jenny was actually confirmed to have Hepatitis C, not HIV/AIDS. However, despite low transfer risk, there's still a chance the son ended up getting it.

Also, I think there's a Fact Fiend episode where the author of Forrest Gump was so angry about the first movie glossing over and ruining some things that he wrote Forrest Gump 2 as something almost unfilmable AND wrote into his contract that only HE could write/approve the movie script, which is why the second movie was never made.

In regard to the ending of fury road, the implication I got was that although Corpus was a brilliant tactician and strategist (likely taught by his father, who himself was from a pre-war era military background), he lacked the “muscle” to control the weak (but extremely numerous) “war pups” and “war boys” dwelling within the citadel. Prior to the fall of Immortan Joe and his personality cult, he used a combination of Rictus’s (the son who dies in the final battle scene) brute strength and unwavering loyalty to his father for physical “enforcement” of his laws/edicts/whims, whereas Corpus’s strengths are purely intellectual and his scheming no doubt aided his father in coming up with new ways to “expand” and become even more powerful, he is bed bound to his leather harness perched atop the reservoir, with a great view of the distance to warn of any attackers. However, by the same token, he can never enforce rule in a psychical manner (I own the hardback graphic novel as well, and while one of the last panels does have corpus suggest that they should not allow the wasteland beggars an unlimited amount of water, lest they lose their most valuable resource/stranglehold on the entire “operation”, but I believe it was Furiosa who ultimately assumed command, and the “suggestion” of corpus’s never is met.) Ultimately corpus has no power now due to his existence and continued sustenance being presumed to be entirely in the form of aid/tribute of his more loyal “war boys” who still believed in immortal joe and their “half-lives” spent on earth, before ascending to Valhalla to ride the fury road forever, shiny and chrome 😉

Rose's romance with Jack ended because he died. A fling is typically something that you go for because you don't want a real relationship, but you don't want to be single.

Number 3 is incorrect: Rose, as she had reminisced on their short-lived romance in connection to the heart necklace, just remembered and thought on him that night and imagined what she probably thought of all this years ago, one more. She wasn't pining for him, she was grateful for him, no matter how short he was in her life.

In Jumanji, Sarah's unhappiness came from Allen being sucked into the game and no one believing her. How can finding the solution to that and Allen being back be traumatizing?

[@johnmoore3504]

RE: Titanic. The ship sinking was a MASSIVE life changing experience (duh). You don't think Rose would have remember fondly the guy who SAVED her life that faithful night? Her memories make perfect sense as 60+ happy years (?) would have never occurred if it wasn't for her young lover. She must have thought of that poor dude every day but that has zero effect on her ability to be happy (or even fall in love) with the guy she married. She moved on (no choice really) but clearly never forgot her OG crush on that ill fated cruise... seems pretty realistic to me. When Jack died part of her died too, the young, adventuresome Rose, hanging out nude, shagging in a car, she was a wild one. One can assume she became way more traditional / conservative after her near death experience. That is why she returns to that happy place with Jack in her memories when she finally dies. The problem with Titanic is watching multiple times you realize just how the bad the dialog is as soon as the ship starts sinking. Jack just runs around screaming "ROSE" constantly, he is actually pretty annoying and not very helpful.

Calm is key to clarity, VG. Are we outwardly emotional after watching any given one of these movies? Can we explain the seeming plot oversight in a plausible way?

[@SuperDuckyWho]

For Kingsman I always figured the implication was people never new the reason for the sudden violent urges, that it was stopped before "too many" people died (like... the elderly and other vulnerable people society doesn't really care as much for) and that the world barely blinking an eye at what happened would be representative of how people seem to react to any horrific event. Like... "Oh man that was horrific, I'm so horrified, oh look at what Amber Heard did today!"

[@kriegswaffel]

Rose always knew she needed to marry to secure her position in life. It would not be too unusual that she’d choose and see her husband as a good match and partner, but not romantically or passionately. Also, it would not be too unusual that her dreams (I know, it’s implied to be the afterlife) would be influenced towards Jack, after recounting the entire story. So it’s rather plausible as an implication, not disturbing.

American Beauty (1999). The original idea for the script had the story framed by a trial. Ricky and Jane on trial for being accused of killing Lester, and at the end they are found guilty. Though this was scrapped, there's still plenty of incriminating evidence, most significantly a tape where they talk about killing Lester, and plenty of footage filmed by Ricky where he appears to be stalking Lester. So even though they decided not to show it in the final cut, the ending implies that Ricky and Jane will be incriminated for a crime they didn't commit.

Watches his Counterpart Marty escape in the DeLorean. Counterpart Marty sees the flash, the scarecrow, and Peabody's barn an instant before crashing into it.

9:05 - The Pixar Universe has sentient cars. Per an original draft, the ants in "A Bug's Life" are supposed to be from the genus _Solenopsis,_ specifically the species known as _Red Ants..._ or, more commonly, _Fire Ants._ So Flik, a _worker ant,_ in our universe would technically have a lifespan of only *5 WEEKS.* Fortunately for Flik however, he doesn't live in our universe; he lives in the Pixar's Universe, where cars can literally come to life _[I would also like to mention that Pixar should really consider a crossover movie about the exciting life of Colette's motorcycle - that's one lucky bike]._ Anyway, back to my point: in Pixar's Universe, bugs get to live for many, many YEARS, instead of mere weeks... well beyond what would be biologically possible in our universe.

I'm not sure I agree with the Titanic entry. There is a reason why marriages are "Till Death do us part."

[@WakenerOne]

But . . . that means that . . . the two-day fling . . . meant more than her marriage. It's what she chose for eternity. You just agreed with Jules' premise. Oh, and that's not what "the path less travelled" means. That refers to a pointless choice between two completely equal options and the self-delusion that either choice matters.

[@rodneylopez5073]

I definitely disagree with your interpretation of "the path less travelled", but I think this is more about choice. She chose Jack and he was stolen from her by the tragedy of the ship's sinking. That was a wound she carried for the rest of her life. She lived a life with her husband, and that chapter of her life was closed and completed. She was set up in the movie as an adventurer. And now in her afterlife, she chose to heal her wounds and go on a different adventure. That doesn't mean the "fling" meant more than her marriage. It was just a different choice. Doesn't mean more, Doesn't mean less. It's just a different adventure.

The Kingsman one annoys me because there is a scene in Harry’s office where he has all these newspaper headlines hung up in his office.

[@benjaminshropshire2900]

People tend to adapt to their environment. It's very possible the reason "mental well-being" issues would result from not being in the Oasis is more accurately the opposite: the Oasis is an addiction that people would be better off mitigating. Simply saying that kicking people out a few days a week would cause harm strikes me as some combination of a buggy whip maker problem and the glaziers fallacy. An interesting parallel; the Oasis has a lot in common with remote work today, including the fact that both would be entirely non-viable without a substantial real world economy and the real world wealth it produces to support them. People need food, water and (nowadays) energy. Civilizations needs people to build things and others to haul away the trash. An online community needs an internet to run on. All these require real world activities. There is a hard limit to how much of human civilization can be move into a virtual world without things collapsing, I suspect a lot of people (more so for people who spend a lot of time on the internet) would vastly underestimate how many people's jobs are fully dependent on physical real world interactions with their tasks.

There is now a huge employment shortage thanks to the massive increase in traffic (since nobody is in Oasis). That means there will be tons of job openings.
