I can't say I was particularly psyched about part 1 either. It was watching the least conceivably evil "evil organisation" play into the Gravity-Falls/Rick-n-Morty aesthetic, but I can turn my mind off when I have to.

But fucking Christ, a lot of it felt like it was screaming "do you like this?" in my face. To the point of fighting against its own themes.

"Do you like this reference? Heh, he said "boomer", funny right? Jugalos, remember them, so stupid? Look, love-virus, you loved that before right? Cool but not wild, down-to-earth couple stuff? "Woman tries to have it all"? Qanon? Reunion plot? Keanu Reaves?

Why wont you love me!?"
