> I do think the screenwriters began with the premise: "What kind of conflicts would characters encounter when facing a multiverse somewhat related to that of quantum mechanics?"

Why would you think that? It's very obviously a story about potential and familial expectation dressed up with pretty dope kung fu and silly men-in-black tropes to provide visual analogies to regular human interaction and emotions.

Yeah haha must admit I’m struggling with the over analysis here. I guess people are just excited to talk about multiple universes or something, which is fair enough.

The story seems like quite a straight forward love vs expectation one. Be thankful for what you have, not what you could or should have.

The science works enough to facilitate the plot if you don’t poke it too hard and that’s all you can ask for. Beyond that it’s just an incredibly stylistic, heartfelt movie.
