In Knives Out, a compassionate, ethical young woman treats everyone around her with generosity, and the people around her repeatedly try to take advantage of her kindness to force her into losing the fortune that was gifted to her by a dear friend. There, justice means that she keeps the fortune and decides that actually, she doesn't have to be kind and giving to people who've proven themselves assholes.

In Glass Onion, a woman loses her sister to a gang of wealthy, successful people who've sacrificed their principles for the sake of ambition and ego. There, justice means that everyone involved will be made notorious: whatever their other accomplishments, they will forever be known for being complicit in the burning of the most famous painting in history.

In Wake Up Dead Man, the church takes advantage of a young girl's loyalty and faith to place her under a lifelong burden and fill her with guilt, shame, and hatred. Justice means helping her understand what was done to her and the women around her, and giving her compassion so she can find peace.

This is cool because it means the movies contradict each other! The compassionate justice of Wake Up Dead Man would be totally misplaced in Knives Out, and so would the toppling-monuments justice of Glass Onion. And because each movie has something different to say, they all stand on their own and feel fresh.

Next episode, I need White Lily to talk to Silent Salt. I need her to tell him that she knows him. That she understands him. That she's been in his place, and still is now. She, too, has made grave mistakes. She, too, bears a great burden; she, too, is haunted by the guilt and shame of her dark past. I need her to try to reason with him. Look him in the eye, stand toe to toe with him as his equal, his other half, and tell him that he need not despair. I need her to reassure him that his dream came true in the end. His dream for a better world, one where great power is earned and those worthy of it use it with fairness and wisdom, is real now. The new Virtues came to be, and new heroes rose to claim them, and have since proven themselves worthy of the power time and time again - moreso than their predecessors ever did. I need her to tell him that hope and solidarity are still alive. That it is never too late to atone. She has come to accept herself and her failures, and now strives to correct them and improve herself, and in turn improve the world, and he can do this too. She wants the same thing he did, and still does deep down.
