    I can’t let this go: Joel McHale’s character in It’s A Wonderful Knife was an outright bad guy that gets zero comeuppance. In the original timeline, he’s the mayor’s stooge with zero spine, helping bully Cigarette Smoking Man into selling his place. Then, a year later, he’s cruelly favoring his son over his daughter, ignoring her future and getting her workout clothes for Christmas while he partners with his son and buys him a new truck. Then, in the alternate timeline, he’s off COMMITTING MURDERS, which his daughter stops by KILLING HIM. But then, in the end, the timeline reverts, and he’s seen giving Winnie a camera for Christmas and… all is well? Winnie still has a terrible, spineless, one-corporate-ultimatum-away-from-being-a-serial-killer dad. But it’s cool cuz she has a girlfriend now. 🤯

      The AI just kind of forgot about his comeuppance. I knew it was bad when watching it, but forgot about the possibility of it being an AI script until they brought it up and it makes so much sense.
