But I got a nice chuckle when I remembered in the first one where J kept on asking K if he ever 'flashy thingy'd' him before lmao

[@shehranazim4784]

Regarding the military guys in the first one, I always liked the theory that MiB always brought in people like that when testing new recruits. The whole purpose of that session was to test J. Those other guys were just props to put the recruit in a weird environment and to see how they react when out of place, and to see if they also become kissasses

[@stanleyshady9465]

@@shehranazim4784 Yea I like that.. I think that is true. The military people were like the control of the test to see if J was able to think outside the box and not follow the norm or what's expected.

[@tenshidust3501]

Reason he got chosen by K, it's because J could see more than what it was in plain sight, remember what he said about the silhouettes of aliens? That they were doing other activities and they weren't dangerous, while the strange little girl with an advanced book was around there, so she was suspicious. He also chased a very fast alien, too, so he had skill, deduction and passion despite of not having a career that required a long and exhaustive training. That story is more interesting that J getting in MIB, just because of nepotism.

[@tenshidust3501]

@@shehranazim4784 Problem with some fan theories, it's that they ignore what it was presented in the story and then they go their own way like it was just fanfiction. If you remember, those men in uniform were neuralized after the test, of course, you can say they only did that to pretend something, but, no, J didn't even notice that happened. That scene just tells you how MIB recruit people and they consider high skill and preparation, but, in the case of J, he had that skill, he could see what the others didn't, "what a little girl doing in that dangerous neighbor with a very advanced book", he also told the other aliens may just exercising or doing something non-threatening, what we saw they do later in the film. He also had devotion and passion, despite of only being a police officer, where the training to become one it's softer and short, this movie just rehashed that, it's a touching and nice ending, certainly, but, that made it look like J actually got in MIB, because he had a contact inside the organization and that was it.

[@tenshidust3501]

@@stanleyshady9465 In the 1st one they said they don't depend on anyone, those military and marines were there for the test, too, the only connection you can make with this plot that, of course, was written later only to make a new movie, it's that K wanted only J to join MIB and this 3rd movie could explain why.

[@StuckOnStupid84]

For anyone that is confused about the continuity, my theory is that Griffins line "where there is death, there will always be death" implies that certain events in time are meant to happen no matter how much you change in the past. In other words, in the original timeline before J and Borris traveled back in time, J's father still died which and it inspired K to look after him until he was old enough to join MIB. Just like in this scene.

[@Milliardo__Peacecraft]

Mostly yes, it more says that "a death" is a fixed point in time meaning either J's father died here or K died here in the alternate timeline. Either way someone had to die in order to fulfill that fixed point.

[@evilcrucian8989]

​@@Milliardo__Peacecraft And that is a wierd moment tbh, causes Boris died there too, yet he wasn't ment to. Well, I guess it's something more like "some events need to happen to let other events happen" you know, most certainly James would've not become Agent J if he's father was still alive.

You don't always need to use de-aging someone to put in a movie. You just need a really good actor to (with close to the same facial features) give top notch performance.

[@grenzviel4480]

yeah but that's not always available

[@Lambda_Ovine]

In this movie that works because in the previous ones we never saw K in his youth. De-aging is necessary when you need actors that grew older playing their roles to look like they used to decades ago in their early performances.

[@JojoBusta]

[@jasonlitz2907]

[@tylergagnon1613]

I also think it was for comedic purposes to. Most movies (especially bio movies) won’t use teenagers to represent the person when they are younger, they will usually use the adult actor who in real life is typically in their early to mid 30s. The scene where he was like “How old are you?” And k replies “29” I always took that as making fun of the movie cliché of actors being much older then the person they are portraying.

[@MasterAnakinSkyWalker]

Josh Brolin's impersonation of Tommy Lee Jones is spectacular. He got the mannerisms down perfectly. He was screwed out of an Oscar for this performance.

The second one used to be the worst one, until MiB International came out. Now there's a forgettable MiB movie. This one is still the second best in the franchise, though. Might not have gotten the recognition of the others, but it stands up there with them easily.

This ending brings me to tears every time it's pretty much brings the whole three movies full circle and knowing that K been watching over Jay his whole life and him picking him wasn't random.

[@JoDaeHo]

And it also shows that the reason he was blunt throughout the series compared to his youth was the responsibility and guilt of Jay's father's death. This is also a sad tragedy, but K's line "it's been my privilege" at the end of the movie shows that the two main characters were eventually saved, overcame tragedy, and ended with a beautiful ending with a noble spirit for each other.

[@DirtySam0410]

You know watching Men in black 1-2, K would've fired J at some point, but this scene made so much more sense now as to why K kept J around all this time. Bcus he was about the only thing thats closest to a son that K will ever have. I just really appreciate the heart that K has to take J in as his son that lost his biological father.

The thing about this movie is that it exactly justifies its existance and adds much needed context for the first film of the series. We always wondered why J got picked to be in the Men in Black. But just had to assume he got noticed for his personality and abilities as an officer.

[@stemom]

I don't see why that still wouldn't be the case. J got noticed for his skill and abilities as an agent in the past and when they followed up on him they also noted his current personality and abilities when they picked him.

Ain’t even going to lie I cried a little I don’t know if it’s me having my own son that’s made me sensitive to seeing dad son situation like this. His dad was legit a hero died doing somthing no one would ever believe and died for a world that doesn’t even like him. But on top of it all leaving behind your son in that world. I think the fact that K actually took care of J the entire time without him knowing also hits deep. He stayed true to his promise despite you thinking he wouldn’t due to the time this took place.

[@Cynim]

This is an incredible example of tying everything up from the first and second movies, without having planned it since the beginning (to my knowledge). An excellent third movie no one really asked for. A perfect send-off and character building between K and J. And I was impressed by Brolin's acting, as a young Agent K. He looked and sounded exactly like a young_ Tommy Lee Jones.

[@thecowboy9698]

This scene speaks a lot about K's character. Seems very cold and austere, but he has a very warm heart. He's really an excellent example of what tends to happen to a man as they get older, and have to deal with all the disappointment that life can and does bring.
