Never said this was better. Just said it was a more polished and fun film for my taste given it had a larger Universal budget.

2025-10-16 15:16:13 +0000 UTCI get all that and not saying he shouldn't emote with those circumstances. I'm talking about how "attached" he is to his brothers hip throughout the film, never listening to what his brother tells him to do and how annoying he came off. Also just the way he went about the character just never personally "clicked" with me. And on top of that, I'm just not a fan of "know-it-all" kids for plot armor convenience. Different strokes for different folks.

2025-10-16 02:06:44 +0000 UTCUh... "clingy" (@Rockstar's comment)??? He had just lost 2 parents, a family friend, a brother, AND a pet dog (the photograph in the last scene) in various tragic deaths... AND he was a child trapped in a never-ending dreamworld where catharsis and closure will potentially elude him for eternity.
