Most of the people who saw that movie don't realize a lot of the mystery and atmosphere actually came from the fact they wanted to do a weird superhero story and butchered it because they didn't have the resources to put that stuff in the movie.

I saw some of the extras and explanations and it's pretty hilarious given all the pretentious theories people had. I bet most people don't know the main character was supposed to have like, Hulk strength, for example.

Not to mention the hulk strength is needless in the plot and is only mentioned in one throwaway line

I thought it was a story about an awkward teenager who got into a weird situation, then decided to die to save his girlfriend?

there was so so much more that didn't make the cut but I still appreciate the story we ended up getting and at least once a year I teach someone about smurfs and their lack of secondary sex characteristics

yeah it was very similar to the butterfly effect ending that didn't make the cut where he hung himself in the womb no matter what mistakes he could solve there was always something wrong

I like that message less now, and is pretty indulgent because everyone would hang themselves in the womb if they knew every bit of suffering they'd ever inflict.

I wouldn't either but I was mostly speaking from the writer's perspective of writing the story. He grew up in the 70's/80's obviously back before we really just forward on the quality of entertainment, so to him bleakness was the normal cause they couldn't have a second life.

I wouldn't hang myself in the womb either, because what stupid insignificant suffer i inflict upon another is comparatively nothing to the possibilities that are out there. Like being special enough to be chosen by someone and to be touched by them.
