Eva Stratt Defender Supreme

It was his first flashback of other people he remembered. And upon seeing photos of Yao and Ilyukhina, he remembered being associated with them and how they looked like.

But what's interesting was when he remembered Yao first, there is also STRATT in that memory and him smiling as he stands beside her. This was even before he remembered who she was.

He had pictures of Yao and Ilyukhina so he remembered how they looked like yet he had NO pictures of Stratt. Yet in that first flash, he remembered what Stratt looked like vividly. (He remembered Carl's name but not his face until he had a flashback of their first meeting). He remembered her even without the memory of their first meeting. She was just there with him randomly in his first memory of someone else.

And what made that more interesting was that in the next sequence, after that flashback, he was seen dancing with a mop with RED HAIR, the same color as Stratt's hair. I mean that could've been the only mop available there, sure, yet how odd right?

Ryan said the directors were the one who made it for him so he won't be lonely filming those alone scenes of Grace in space (She's named, yes it's a SHE, Moppy Ringwald haha). It was a conscious decision of the directors to chose that mop when they could've settle with a plain normal common mop with white hair.

I love how this TikTok commentor pointed this out about the mop thing.

Actually the villain has so much faith in the person she loves that she'll betray him and drug him and send him on a suicide mission. To save the world

Stratt and Grace every 5 seconds in front of everyone else for no reason:

Chasing after him personally to bring him onto the project, to watching him run, having neither the heart to stop him personally nor the choice to let him go anymore.

Going from needing two coffees to function and heading straight to work, to sharing one cup each and simply being still for a moment, together.

From bringing him into rooms and making everyone there appreciate him, to leading the room that is fully aware he is their only saving grace.

From “Must be hard, having to ask everybody to… you know.”

“Actually, it isn’t.”

To... “Don’t make this harder, please.”

The first and last time he makes her smile, by acknowledging her intelligence, (and being snarky about it).

By being surprised that she knows he was fired for calling the leading scholar in his field a “staggering waste of carbon,” rather than for standing by what he said as he tried to imply. And years later by throwing the phrase, “You’re smart, you’ll figure it out,” right back at her.
