Actually, it makes sense that Will goes back to his younger self once K gets his memories back. A lot of people begin acting like their old selves when they get around their original trainer/master/parent. Also, the reason K calls Laura "baby" is because it's hinted that he is her biological father.

[@eighterthabest9024]

Thanks for beating me to it. I honestly wasn't sure if I even remembered that right or not. Still kind of weird for Tommy Lee Jones to say "baby" in any context but at least there is some reason...

[@rob.3143]

And about the pizza place scene, to me it always felt more like J was trying to show off to his mentor and prove that he had grown and was as good as his mentor. This was why he tried to find these obscure clues and signs rather than look for the simple and obvious.

[@GrimJackal]

It's slips like this that make me wonder how much attention they pay to the films. This was pretty obvious.

It's a phenomenon called "personality regression", and it can happen around anyone from your past whom you haven't seen in a long time. That's one of the reasons recovering addicts are encouraged to not reconnect with old friends and acquaintances that they got drunk or high with as the phenomenon often leads to relapsing into addiction.

[@C_Train74]

[@StephySon]

[@arch_ang0l476]

The reason K called Laura “baby” was because the movie implied she is his daughter and her mother was the Zarthan queen Luarana. As a side note, if Laura really was K’s daughter, then that means he’s had a thing with three women in as many movies.

[@redhood7650]

"Do you think Tommy Lee Jones can kick your ass". With how much J gets thrown around in these movies and the fact that K literally jumped kicked an alien in the most unusual way...yes

[@ejgoldlust]

“It rains because you’re sad, baby.” I always assumed that was a subtle implication that K was actually her father, but wasn’t ready to admit it yet, and that they had planned on getting to that in the next sequel. (They do establish that K and Laura’s mother had kind of a thing…)

Came down here looking for this, I think its obvious because the alien who dies at the restaurant is taking care of Laura, she says "A man I've known my whole life vanished in front of my eyes...", It was also K's friend (Hinted by the picture at the restaurant) and then theres K's romance and that "baby" line. K didnt want to send his own daughter away so he left her on earth and then neuralized himself to avoid the temptation of seeing her and put her in danger leaving clues for himself at the same time in case the evil plant lady came back.

Their was once a comedian who brought a bus driver onto the show for a skit, but the bus driver was the one making everyone laugh just for his strange laugh. Half the skit was skipped cuz the comedian couldn't get any jokes in and he struggled not to laugh because he was supposed to be the funny one.

[@donjezza10]

I know a lot of people criticise how the MIB would hire people like Warburton's character who are genuinely stupid and unprofessional. I always thought the joke was was that Will Smith selected people like him because he wanted to be the smart one of the two, so he needed to actively look for people stupider than he was.

[@nataliegray8019]

They imply that Laura is the love child of Kay and the alien princess chick, so when he calls her "baby" it comes across more affectionate than creepy.

[@bigkmoviesandgames]

I honestly never found that line creepy. I know that Kay wasn't hitting on her or anything even when I was a kid. I assumed at the time he was just being kind and protective. I eventually made the connection that she is probably his kid years later which just made the scene better in that context.

[@silentjackm.d4490]

The baby line that K Days fun fact is a kind of glossed over detail where they seem to imply that the light is his daughter. He makes a comment about how she's just as beautiful as her mother

[@WillMcFarland]

seriously, why does he think it would be better if it rained when she was happy? the whole point is she subconsciously controls the weather? if she was happy and it was raining, it wouldn't "add character", it would destroy that whole plot? right?

[@chanderman233]

​@@WillMcFarland It would show a sense of irony and depth, if it rains when she is sad but in a scene she says happy when it is raining then that'd mean she's lying about her happiness. It would give her a character moment of subtlety and depth.

[@Serahpin]

The point of it raining when she's sad is to show she has powers without being heavy handed on what they are. To show that she's special without using fireworks and a neon billboard.

[@J4hk2]

Also don't get why Doug is calling foreshadowing an easter egg.

[@lunasif]

Honestly with how many people started saying, 'oh, it rains when I'm sad too' I thought it might have been to make people feel special if that happened to them. Sort of an interesting note of empathy for bringing some audience in.

When I heard about the sequel coming out, 5 years later, I was ecstatic. The hype was real, and I couldn't wait. Saw it opening day and.... was SO disappointed. Two weeks later, someone gave me a free ticket to watch it again. I said to myself, why not, it's free. But went in expecting absolute shit. But I found myself.... Really enjoying it. Still nowhere near as good as the first but, it was still funny! Now to this day, I call it the "Men In Black 2 Syndrome". If you're hyped about something too much, you might not be able to enjoy it for what it is.

[@JachAnen]

Well he did love her mother and might have started to fall into the role of her father, doesn't mean he is, but it does insinuate he has that connection.

"get someone from Rick & Morty" is something that is said in Hollywood alot right now, but yeah its easy to see how a R&M type, could give us a sequel that lives up to the promise of a Men In Black universe.

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

get someone from season 1 or 2 the guys from seasons 3 to 5 are getting creepily weird no joke the latest episode as of this comment's wiritng was ... disgusting... is like they tried to imitate DOOM PATROL's Season 2 episode "Sex Patrol" in a disgusting way

[@t.c.bramblett617]

I mean.. considering this movie has a primary joke about a character having balls on his chin, I think it might be a perfect choice right about now. Considering that Rick and Morty has recently approached a Family Guy level of humor, and they INVENTED balls-on-chin humor Edit: Just looking back two episodes, we have had boobs-on-elbows humor, living sperm monsters creating an incest baby, and full-on horse/human makeout followed by slimy horse birth... R&M has passed even Family Guy

I hate how the takeaway is always, "Wow, this thing is popular so let's copy it- never mind that the reason it was popular because it was unique."

[@louisduarte8763]

@@kingsleycy3450 I could argue that R&M copied most of its schtick from The Venture Bros.

8:25---Look up Karl Pilkington/Stephen Merchant chat on MiB2, where Karl compares Stephen to the "multi-armed" alien (it's honestly hysterical how pissed off Merchant gets)

[@adaptorperish1322]

Oh, Karl and his commentaries…It’s not a total miss, they do share some features and both are redheads.

[@jackhackslack]

Nostalgia critic mentions Biz and he just today passed away. How tragic RIP

[@sokumotanaka9271]

Wait wait I remember this slightly. Yeah I remember the girl having emotional based storm/avatar powers. I also remember assuming the next movie would be about her using her avatar powers on different alien planets with an alien partner maybe. Why didn't we get that instead of the recent film trying to pinch off the popularity of the nostalgia?

[@spacejam8765]

A bit strange that he is doing the 2nd one first. Thought he would do the 1st one, then 2nd and 3rd one. Also Johnny Knoxvilles character was completely forgotten about. No really, he was in the film and the director just forgot about him.

[@GabrielDietrichson]

Although he was mentioned later on by one of the worm people as the one who kidnapped Laura.

[@MrChristianDT]

Well, when he did the Jurassic Parks, he did 2, 1, 3.

He did the Mulan movies out of order too.

love that movie so funny. also please review black sheep

[@pelgervampireduck]

1 is fun, 2 is "meh", 3 is surprisingly good.

[@tuschman168]

I'd love to see the NC's take on 3. Especially since I can't really articulate why I like 3 better than 2. I just do.

[@KitRobin]

@@tuschman168 3 was just so good compared to what came before. It has a good script, good performances, and just a feel good vibe to it. Even though TLJ isn't in it much himself, Josh Brolin makes you believe he's the same person. The dialogue between Smith and Jones at the end also just was such a sweet moment. The series should've ended with that.

[@batlrar]

I don't know what you're talking about; the Men in Black followup was great! Hear me out. It had a bunch of new aliens although, yes, there were some minor changes to the fan favorites. We see some real character growth from J, and a gradual acceptance from K as he adapts to the job working through perseverance. L actually played a pretty big role and the three main characters tackled a lot of new and interesting topics and adventures. They kept the lighthearted joking nature while also entering into some incredibly dangerous and weird situations. It had one of the most mesmerizing and catchy openings, showing viewers a complete synopsis of everything they need to know thus far. Oh, and also, it was an animated series.

[@HistoryBuffness]

Your pronunciations at the end were just find Doug! Glad to hear you doing a shoutout for an area close to home! :))

[@geardog24]

I'll just stick with the cartoon series as the real sequel to the Men In Black movie.

i can respect that, the TAS was pretty damn good, not Batman TAS good but a lot better than this.

I never understood why when the Light is crying at the end of the movie, it's only raining inside her pod and not outside. It wasn't raining inside the pizza place but outside when the manager was killed. So why is it the other way around at the end of the movie?
