Well that took a sharp turn...

Clearly they never spoke to Bobby Tables.

saw war as a thrilling, life-or-death, adventure.

That just sounds like psychopath-lite...

Oh man, I missed bullpupping memes...

Part 1 is the first act

Oh my god I just now got what my sister meant by "the act break is super long" and why my mother replied "lol" in the family group chat.

Same.

I listened to the original Broadway cast so many times I was concerned I wouldn't like a "cover" of it. After my sister said she liked it, and listening to a song and not finding it objectionable, I had even considered watching it.

This is the first I've heard of it being a two parter, so they hid it well. I'm surprised my sister didn't say anything

Not a chance in hell I'm watching it until part two comes out in physical media so I can watch them both in one go. I hate breaking up the flow, even for a few hours while I wait for the next screening...

if the characters behave too unnatural

My wife doesn't get this.

I can't stand watching some movies because every part of the movie is just one character doing something unnatural or outright insane that nobody would ever do, and the people around them react in similarly unnatural and insane ways.

And certain old movies (especially holiday oriented ones) that lean heavily into the "everyone here is a bumbling idiot" trope crank this up to 11.

If you enjoy said things, awesome. Good for you. Keep watching them, it literally does not affect me. I'm genuinely glad you have entertainment. I just won't watch it with you.

Five) is a good one. Like "oh shit.... I fucked this one up too much, I guess I'll see how it turns out but I'm gonna start over with a new batch"

I'd love to see someone more creative with writing than me do some writing prompts with that premise. Maybe have someone from this universe ascend or something and actually confronts god as they're spending time with their new ~~family~~ creation.

六> is also a good one, it reminds me of the idea that every single person is God. And when all of humanity has finally lived and died, god will become a single consciousness and join the rest of their kind. It kind of pairs poetically with Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot.

1: you are absolutely correct

B- YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT MY MAMMA REEEEE

She's college educated with a degree to teach math k-12, which just goes to show even a good education isnt always enough to make people see logic and reason.

The way I figure it, one of a few possibilities is true:

1 there is a god. He lets all the bad shit happen, and therefore isn't worthy of dedication.

B: there is no god. Shit happens. Nobody is there to be worthy of dedication.

III- there is a god. It kicked off the big bang and sat back to watch. Either it has the ability to affect positive change and doesn't, or it can't. In which case, it's still not worthy of dedication.

The end result is the same for me
