So you would never eat anything unhealthy? Never jack off? Never exchange your body’s labour for money? Never return to your wife or lover? Would you eat a strictly vegan diet in case the guy was a vegan? Would you avoid alcohol in case the body was a teetotaler? Would you pray to Mecca five times a day in case the…

Yes, I argued that you can’t not like this movie. You’re surely making a good faith argument there.

You’re confusing narrative consequence with thematic consequence.

I don’t even know where to begin with how wrong you are on this one. You’re the one who brought up the in-universe logic. I’m the one who’s trying to keep it in the discussion of bigger ideas of theme. It just also happens you didn’t understand the in-universe logic which is why I pointed out where you went wrong in…

Ok, your scenario is what happened in the movie. Great.

Because it’s not a position you or Ants genuinely believe, as demonstrated by you, in the other discussion.

“If the magical stone does bad things, why can’t it do good things with zero consequences or caveats that contradict the theme of the movie.”

My scenario doesn’t involve Diana at all. It involves you in someone else’s body.

*InB4 “Yep, it’s a bit.”*

It is. The bit is you continuing to argue a bad faith incel argument despite the fact it doesn’t hold up to even the mildest of lights.

Yes, it’s magic. If it’s magic without consequence then it’s “magic is awesome” which is the opposite of the theme.

He wasn’t unconscious. Steve was very conscious.

There was no sketchy sexual politics and it was for thematic reasons (there’s no magic cure all to loss and magic-paw, be careful what you wish for) , so, uh, wrong on both counts?

He wasn’t unconscious. Steve was fully conscious.

Well it’s a bad faith argument. And it’s used by incels.

Yes, it’s a bad faith argument made by incels, but I’m still going to address it. If you woke up in someone else’s body one day, would you just sit alone in a dark room and do nothing for fear of violating the body you’re in’s consent? Or would you, you know, adapt and live your life?

Oh cool, a bad faith take from Laserface.

Or you could just recognise the genre it’s in.

What they should do is a comedic take on Nosferatu. Like, sure, he’s dead, but what if he was loving it?

Are you an actor in a comedy series?
