Someone said that when Viktor stepped into a different timeline for the first time, he probably saw the infamous snowstorm scene happening, and waited with bated breath for the magician who started it all. He'd have watched Jayce's mum fall and hoped desperately for the man to come. Then Jayce would fall, his tiny body trembling as he shouts for help in a storm where no one could possibly hear his cry and still Viktor is waiting, until Jayce's body curls from the cold, his lips slightly turning blue and Viktor can't take it anymore.

He walks forward, and in the process of walking forward, when he sees Jayce's shocked little face....he realises that it was him all along. That entire time, he was the man from the story. The almighty being that started their entire journey. Thinking of his own Jayce, frozen in glorious evolution, that knowledge probably wounded something in Viktor's heart. 😭

However, I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about Oppenheimer that are irritating me, and I just wanna make something clear:

OPPENHEIMER IS NOT ABOUT THE ATOMIC BOMB.

Yes, it talks about the atomic bomb, because it’s an important part of Oppenheimer’s life, but the bomb itself is a small part of the movie. The subject of the movie is the title: Oppenheimer. It’s a movie about him.

It’s about his genius, his flaws, his stress and anxiety, his guilt, his relationship with his wife (someone give Emily Blunt an Oscar), and his guilt about the atomic bomb, and the trial. A lot of people are assuming it’s about the bomb, because of the promotional poster, but the man was called “the Father of the atomic bomb.”

Also, people saying that they’re no Japanese people in the film…why would there be? It’s not about WW2, it’s about Oppenheimer. His life, the work that went into making the atomic bomb, and all the issues and arguments that went into it. It would be insanely rude and insensitive to show that part of it, because the movie isn’t about the bomb. The most they would’ve showed is the bombing and then y’all REALLY would’ve been mad.

If you don’t wanna see it, by all means, don’t watch it. However, don’t say, “they’re praising the atomic bomb and then dropping it,” because that’s not what the movie is about AT ALL. If anything, it shows how much guilt and regret the physicists/scientists felt during creating it, and how much they felt after it was dropped.

The movie is a biopic about a man, not a bomb.

Also, Barbie was the shit and you should all watch it.

There is a disconnect between the Americans and what happened in Japan. The movie shows that. We know it’s super fucked up and the movie says that too. I feel like people should watch it instead of blindly saying “Oh it’s American propaganda” because it’s not. If you come out of this film thinking there was a hero, you definitely missed something vital there.

I don’t know why this keeps happening, but I’ve seen this happen with Multiverse of Madness as well. Oppenheimer is a film about Oppenheimer. Sure, maybe it sucks ass that some of the side characters (Florence Pugh’s specifically) weren’t super fleshed out, but you can only put so much into three hours. You can’t fit every perspective, every event, into this film, especially when it’s specifically about Oppenheimer.

But also the simultaneous indictment by the film that to blame a single person for the Manhattan Project is to refuse to accept your own capacity for great evil if the ends ever seem to justify the means, and the culpability of every member of a species that lets itself create something so unspeakably terrible.

Kaz Brekker, the Saint of thieves who takes pity on the lost souls and evokes power into the hearts of crooks.

Inej Ghafa the Saint of the abused, holding a protective hand over those who share her story and causing slavers great misfortune.

Jesper Fahey, the Saint of treasure whose name those whisper at gambling tables for good luck and is said to guard all zowa.

Wylan Hendriks, a Saint of runaways who watches over the shaken souls and bruised children who slip out of their bedroom windows to start new lives.

Nina Zenik, the Saint of lovers who couples leave offerings to in hopes that their love will be eternal, no matter what.
