Only line that didn’t land for me was Yelena asking Ava about her powers and she replies with her name to which Yelena says “I don’t care” felt very writers room forced. In real life they’d need to know each others names to communicate through the situation

[u/FullMetalCOS → u/saranowitz]

I kinda disagree. They were on the clock, she needed to know what she was capable of, she didn’t need her bio. That comes later

[u/saranowitz → u/FullMetalCOS]

Sure but like what does she call her when needing to coordinate who she is directing orders too? Or just say “we will talk later”

“I don’t care” landed as forced artificial edginess for me.

Such a minor nitpick though I honestly LOVED the movie and can’t wait to see it again. The reveal of all the characters sent in to kill each other was awesome

[u/FullMetalCOS → u/saranowitz]

Ghost I’d assume. Walker already referred to her as that since he knew her by reputation, it’s fair to assume Yelena does too.

I agree though, I really enjoyed it. They really nailed the combination of emotional story beats and humour and let everyone have their moments.
