saw it this weekend. mind blown. michelle yeoh finally getting recognized as an Actual Deity is good. stephanie hsu was robbed of her oscar, sorry Jamie.

also I learned that the translation of CEO!Waymond's line about laundry and taxes actually *blunted the impact* and cut a tie to a later scene?

we were given the translation "In another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you"
and I mean. that is a sucker punch to the feels. perhaps they nerfed the translation to spare our lives?

what he said is apparently better translated as "If there is another life, I will still choose to be with you, filing taxes and opening a laundromat." which I can confirm with my limited knowledge of Mandarin.

I will see you from that next life.
