Alright, I got around to finishing it sooner than I expected.
Fully agree: the second half of the movie does actually go somewhere with all the nonsense. The character development is fantastic, and the sci-fi actually is used as a creative way to explore self worth and interpersonal relationships.
I stand by my frustration with what comes across as gratuitous, dated feeling humor and tropes (Scott Pilgrim, Rick and Morty, “so random! XD” Internet culture), but it definitely has a lot more depth and substance than I was ready to give it credit for.
I’m glad you liked the second half. I generally agree with your assessment that it has a lot of lol XD so random stuff in it, but I think the later parts of the movie do a good job of justifying that thematically by bringing up the idea that meaningless randomness is inherent in a multiverse, or at least that finding it meaningless is a common way of dealing with a multiverse.
The ending is fairly relevant to the quality of the movie
Noted. I’ll give the rest of it a shot sometime.
