There is no amount of drama in Everything Everywhere that can undo the inanity of dildo fights and evil bagels. The ‘drama’ is all extremely surface level and obvious, and it’s constantly being derailed by stupid random humor. It has no tonal consistency and it all just falls flat. It isn’t funny, it isn’t clever, and it isn’t emotional. It’s barely a step above the average Marvel movie in terms of cinematic substance. Swiss Army Man felt much more authentic and organic in its weirdness and I think that’s the far superior Daniels movie as a result. Everything Everywhere is just a sequence of random things that happen and there’s no joy in any of it.

Unbreakable - the scene where him and his son are just testing out the newfound strength by piling on more weight to the benchpress and he is just as shocked as anyone that he can just keep going. Really great, grounded approach compared to what a more 'standard' hero flick would do (throw a truck at him)
