Also the “NO ITS JUST DUMB” amazing lines

How he was acting when someone tried to miles, Miles was overreacting haha

Name please

Just once, before I die, I would love to deliver this insult to someone. I actually practice my delivery of it once per week, just to be ready when the moment arises.

Ransom likely wasn't inherently that smart either. He had the advantage of his grandpa being a crime novelist

@@TheMarkmcr he actually is, if it wasn't for the nurse's kind heart, he would have gotten away with it.

@@TheMarkmcr i mean yeah it helped. But mostly in the sense that Ransom was his grandpa’s research assistant during the summers. So the dude legit knew his stuff and was genuinely clever when it came to planning and following through on his murders. Only reason he lost was cause he didn’t count on Marta being as good at her job as she was.

@@ryanbarefoot7194 or ransom could have had a strategy handed to him via one of the books. He didn't even have enough inspiration to find a job

@@TheMarkmcr he very well could have but that seems like a very bad faith argument meant to portray ransom negatively. Given his attitude and actions I dont see why he wouldnt have come up woth the ideas himself and there’s specific context within the movie as to where he would have the thought process to do so with. Also he has a trust fund and is virtually loaded. Dude doesnt need to work really as long a he’s smart enough to plan his money usage well enough

He’s more mad at Miles, then he was at Ransom 😂 and he was just a silver spoon 🥄 brat

@@Rollyboy141 I won't deny Ransom was a smug bigheaded spoiled bigoted jerk but he does not try to hide who he is and was very cunning in pulling off his crime. Meanwhiles, Miles is just a very shortsighted immature two-faced brat who can barely think for himself and needs everyone to come up with smart ideas for him to get anywhere. Like seriously, who the hell tries to murder someone whom he had a very public court case with in which he would be the prime suspect. And he also gives his other friend a glass full of pineapple juice in front of everyone, killing him with an allergy only he would know about and was right next to at the time. And the one clever thing he did, trying to shoot Andi while the lights were off. He only did that because Benoit warned him about it! The only reason no one suspected him until the very end was the sheer blindspot that no one would be that stupid to do all those things he did.

@@Rollyboy141 funniest part was when he got mad at miles for stealing his idea 😭

I said the same thing to my dad after the film. It was awesome.

A great contrast to the first movie which made this so good🤣🤣

As much as would like to agree, Benoit did have several days of research before he went to the island. But it didn’t take that long to see an idiot for what he was.

@@ericramirez2608 But also remember, BB was also under the impression that Bron was a genius, because the crime was so stupid, and a genius like Bron obviously couldn’t have done that. But once that façade was destroyed, it was so painfully obvious.

@@ianmcdonald6617 you can see the exact moment it happened. When Miles wanted to “inbreathiat,” which is only a couple minutes of being on the island.

His actual game didn't make it through the appetizer

Omg, Miles Bron really has no originality to him. He copies every single idea for anything he does.

You can actually see him reach for the lighter in his pocket the moment after Lionel says that too. lol

and stole the idea from Benoit about a loaded gun on the table and turning off the lights

Reminds me of Norton's other villain role in 2003's 'The Italian Job'. His character in it was described as having "no imagination" and stole ideas from his former teammates.

I love how after Lionel says that and after Miles burns the napkin, Miles points at Lionel as if saying "thanks for that, mate" and then it cuts straight to Lionel's reaction whose like "wat did I just do?" 😂😂😂😂 This film was Amazing

Sherlock would SHDH 🤦🏽‍♂️ in this nonsense of a case

Great observation, and I’m kicking myself for missing it. He even slams “Clue” earlier for being a “dumb game.”

Blanc is a sadist but I love it. ;D :D

@@palomasaudios2676 He's not a sadist! He's Bond. James Bond- Oh yeah.. yeah he is kind of a sadist when you look at it that way.

Yes, because his mind likely built a dozen cases while there. And the name of the place was like a final insult and troll.

Blanc: Because your a vainglorious buffoon. You idiot. 😂😂😂😂

Yeah it's honestly impressive. It just shows how big his ego is that he thought he'd keep it as a memento or something when anyone who is trying to not be implicated in a murder would destroy it in some way, burning is just the easiest method for a napkin.

@@dstreetz91 but also if the bar napkins had the business logo on them, wouldn't that have come up in court if Andi had an even marginally competent lawyer?

Perfect movie title

Exactly. For me, the dumbest thing that Miles did was sending the box in the first place. It blows my mind that, after screwing Andi out of a billion dollar company, he would still invite her to a weekend away. Along with her former friends who helped him out.

@@bluejays25 That not Miles being dumb thats just a plot hole lol, also if Miles is dumb then how come as soon as Duke blackmailed him Miles in a matter of seconds formulated a plan to not only kill Duke but throw suspicion on everyone but him?

@Moe he's not an idiot, it's just that he's inconsistent as a character, like a lot of Glass onion. A movie that failed at being dumb, resulting in it being dumber it than it thinks it is.

​@moe5020 did he create a clever plan? The moment someone could examine the glass they'd realize there was no poison in his glass and his lie would be revealed. Handing him your glass in the open tainted with pineapple is blatantly stupid.

He wasn't nearly duped. He solved the mystery in less than half an hour, and that includes a 20-minute blackout where people were trying not to get killed themselves. It only felt like a long time because they stopped and did a huge rewind in the middle. The idea that he is allergic to dumb isn't even necessary, but the audience has to feel like the extra run time made this last the whole evening.

⁠​⁠@@TheSchaef47you’re assuming I’m just talking about Duke’s murder. The actual mystery was Andi’s death, which technically began a week prior the minute he meets Helen. He took this mystery on largely because it seemed like a complex puzzle crafted by what should be a mad genius like Miles…and it seemed like it as the mystery progressed throughout the entire day. And all of it got ruined at the end when he realized just how easy the actual mystery was.

@@ajerqureshi6411 yeah, everyone was surprised to discover it was the only person in the room who even tried to kill anybody

✋🏻

It’s funny because Edward Norton played Bruce Banner in the MCU once Also, ✋

New meme template

Somebody make this happen please!

even stupider. his whole plan is based on hoping that duke is dumb enough to not carry any antidote for his allergy. imagine if he would. murder attempt charges would be miles' second biggest problem. the first is saving his ass from an angry dave bautista

He might have been able to play it off as panicking and forgetting he had pineapple juice, but it would remove the case for someone trying to murder him, and also he would be very vulnerable to being caught as the shooter.

Yeah, pretty much. Miles' lie would be discovered the second the body was examined.

I hadn't thought about that and genuinely thought the pineapple thing wasn't a bad idea! Oh my god I'm an idiot. Thanks for explaining that 😅

For me the biggest plot hole is that he didn’t have an epi pen on him, and his GF didn’t recognize an allergic reaction. I had a friend with a deadly allergy and if he collapsed apropos of nothing, I would immediately assume it was anaphylactic shock.

watch layer cake, he's great in that movie

I think he might’ve figured out that the Andi at the party was an impostor or something when Duke showed him the report on her death, since the way he went about killing Andi wasn't exactly foolproof and her death hadn't been reported. Though he didn't know about Andi's sister Helen.

@@thuranz2773 Honestly, I am of the theory that he legitimately think Andi was alive and that maybe he thought the poison he gave didn’t work and merely just ruffied her. And perhaps he thought the whole thing was some elaborate sting operation involving the woman he thought he have killed. Well he’s right about it being a sting, but wrong for thinking its actually Andi alive instead of the obvious of being her twin sister masquerading as Andi to make him slip up.

@@BigK13372 yeah, since the way he killed her was by drugging her with sleeping pills and leaving her in the garage with the car running. If she woke up early, she could've got out before the carbon monoxide built up enough to kill her.

Theoretically, to show Milles Andi's handwriting. Technically, so that Milles could burn it

She came close to show him that Andi's napkin had the "Glass Onion" logo, which could prove it was the real one

@@demetrisloukas8586 yes that's true

Yeah, also they have already learned how impulsive and shortsighted Miles is. They have realized he just killed their friend right in front of them and yet she still thinks she can just show the one piece of evidence that could ruin him right in his face?

The thing was miles could have burnt it early and no one knows but everyone knew what happen coz they saw it with their own eyes

Not really. Peg is dependent on Birdie who is dependent on Miles. Miles was planning to buy out Birdie if she takes full responsibility for committing a human rights violation. This will negatively impact Peg because she will be out of a job with Birdie and no one will hire her. Peg clearly stated that the only thing outstanding on her resume was being an assistant to Birdie. She has nothing else of her own to fall back on or use. So Peg may not have been directly connected or depended on Miles but she was indirectly connected/dependent.

Not exactly, she said it herself when she confronted Miles. She attached her entire career and resume to Birdie and her brand. If Birdie goes down, her future goes down with her.

But then later she outright quit from Birdy after finding out about the sweatshop thing. It proved Peg had limits and murder was beyond that

A lot of theme in first movie is about rich people leeching off other people talent while subtly hint they themselves could be financially off if they weren't so cozy with their father money. The grandfather even mention that the desire of him putting his son at head of his publisher company because he want his son to eventually write his own book but instead he end up living off his success. A lot of them haven't really grow up.

Ransom was genuinely smart. If Marta wasn't an instinctive nurse, his plan to kill Harlan would have worked. And he didn't count on Marta being a such a good person, that she would act against her self-interest and attempt to save Fran. Either of those two situations had gone differently, his plan would have worked. He also manipulated Marta quite expertly until the end. Miles, on the other hand, kind of lucked out to be in the position he was in. His plan was inherently stupid and he kept stealing ideas from everyone else.

@@nikunjdixit1175 yeah it took convincing ransom he'd already lost and marta really holding back her reflex ro beat ransom. Whereas with Miles if you approached from an objective point of view its obvious. Ransom had the motive and was clearly shifty from the start but they never had any evidence against him till pretty much the end

@@nikunjdixit1175 Ransom’s initial plan would have worked if the medicines hadn’t been spilled all over the floor. Because Marta couldn’t see the labels when she picked them up, she had to rely on other ways of telling them apart, and so gave Harlan the correct doses because she’s a good nurse. Actually, who else thinks that during the events of Glass Onion and the pandemic in general, Marta was helping treat people with COVID.

I can’t wait!

Miles lied and killed Duke with his allergy to hide his tracks and fabricate a story which almost everyone believed up until thia point

Because Miles lied, claiming that the glass was meant for him. If someone was trying to kill Miles then there would have to be actual poison in the glass since he's not allergic to pineapple. Of course, because Miles is an idiot, he didn't consider that as soon as the police test the cup to see what kind of poison it was, all they'll find is whisky and pineapple juice implying that nobody tried to kill Miles and likely that Duke was the target. Blanc was thinking ahead, not realising at first that Miles is an idiot.

"It's so dumb, it's brilliant!" "NO! It's just dumb!"

...OH THAT WOULD BE HILARIOUS IF THAT WAS ACTUALLY PART OF THE SCRIPT

A lot of people are annoyed that it was so obvious apparently. I find the movie enjoyable regardless because the performances and scenery are still stunning, among some other reasons that I'll talk about more at length below, but due to the fact that all of the "clues" are just right in your face, I can kind of see why people think it's boring and/or stupid. Though I'd argue the fact that it's stupid is entirely the point. Glass Onion is not a whodunit, it's a satire of the whodunit. Rather than force you to pay attention to every detail like a traditional murder mystery, the movie tries to take advantage of the viewer's hightened attention to make you think of almost completely unrelated things to distract you from the fact that the killer is incredibly obvious. If the viewer just so happened to see Miles handing Duke the glass, then they are already aware of who the killer is and their engagement in the movie should be in how it is revealed to the characters, i.e. dramatic irony. You could argue it takes too long to get to the point, that's totally respectable, but I find it odd to criticize the movie for being too simple and dumb when that's exactly what the movie is trying to do, so you are inadvertently saying the movie did a good job.

Considering he keeps a gun with the safety off right beside his nuts I highly doubt he would check

Thats the scene that gave it away.. IT made too much sense especially because Miles was getting down with Duke's girl from what I remember.

Actually when miles has that drink in his hand he doesn’t look at duke because duke and miles were focusing on birdie’s dress and her dancing miles claims that duke took his glass and i you look at it again miles has the drink in his hand and he doesn’t look at duke but duke doesn’t look at miles as he takes the drink but miles did not see dukes hand because duke took it from him so they didn’t look at each other I think accidentally took miles drink and choke to death

He wouldn't have gotten away with it if he convinced people it was an accident because he would've been charged with manslaughter

Honestly I wouldn’t be shocked if Dave Filoni brought him on to direct a Mandalorian episode or two. Johnson did give him some camera lessons on TLJ’s set.

That would be great. TLJ was easily the most interesting Star Wars movie since 1983.

As Rian Johnson put it, it was a complete accident, but it makes the film seem all the more timely.

@@mst3KGf someone should tell this ben shapiro

Elon seems to be doing fine. The real meltdown is coming from people who are upset that Twitter is no longer owned by DOC puppets.

@Baris Bal Shapiro is not known for being smart or admitting he is wrong.

@@barisbal7782 is he the guy why ranted on Twitter about the movie "tricking" the audience, because he didn't figure out the twist to the murder MYSTERY?

Sherlock would make people cry and Benoit would comfort them. Teamwork! 😂

As we have learned this year, Bron is very much cut from the cloth of other billionaires who know nothing but act like they do.

That's the point. She was arrogant. She was to clever to be scared of someone so stupid. So she didn't see the obvious trap.

​@@anenemystand5582 she so was an idiot too?

Yeah, that's cause thw entire movie is filled with plotholes and stupidity😂

Norton’s not the Hulk anymore, Mark Ruffalo is. So he doesn’t have that option.

I think the predictability is kind of the point. Like the title the whole thing meant to be in plain sightike glass onion

@@thinhvo3893 true but the first one was harder to crack. I could immediately tell who was gunna be the killer pretty quickly

The only part where he messed up was the gun he wore gloves to kill Helen but he wasn't wearing any when taking it from dukes belt or from the mini bar so the gun would still have his fingerprints on it.

And what about the claim someone was trying to kill him. That would fall apart.

he didnt know he succeeded at killing her and assumed that she happened to survive.

Uh because if he freaked out in front of the person he thought he killed and the world's greatest detective he would look obviously guilty. So he tries to see if fake andi knows he tried to kill her

Because Bron is dumb. Since he didn’t know how the puzzle boxes worked, the lie that Blanc got one that was reset made sense to him.

That is also something I have been wondering. Not only is Miles' reaction way off when he sees Helen arriving on the island, Duke's reaction is also very weird when he finds out the news of Andi's death. The first thing he thinks is how to blackmail Miles, when he was just talking to a woman impersonating her... like WTF.

Idk I just think it's funny how blamc calls him an idiot

It’s not dumb because he used pineapple juice. What’s dumb about it to Blanc is that he’s been working under the assumption that the killer had an intricate, well thought out plan, when in reality, Miles just killed Duke with what was conveniently right there without putting in any thought. He also claimed that it was poison, when he could have easily just said Duke accidentally drank from his cup to begin with.

Because he was claiming someone tried to poison him not Duke. So tell me. How does one poison a glass for miles with no poison?

​@@anenemystand5582 hmmmmm.....almost as if you could've derailed the qhole investigation by claiming that it was a case of accidental poisoning

1. Because Rian is an idiot eho isn't capable of writing. 2. Miles is a billionaire so he's gotta be dumb and evil. 3. Because they had to show that Blanc is an amazing detective, he isn't. 4. Both Norton and Craig are old and not getting many roles. So they must do shit films like this.

I mean when someone says no pineapple earlier that very day in full view of multiple witnesses then later on is killed via pineapple allergy in a room full of witnesses with one of them being a detective, it's pretty dumb.

Because they spent ten years drinking together and Miles never put pineapple juice in his whiskey before.

No, he’s a shot at Elon Musk, though Rian Johnson says that this was unintentional.

@@piercelindenberg6842 That's a weird contradictory statement.

Was kinda the point of the movie i think

Nah it’s Hulk, not Grey Hulk

And got caught by James Bond

Helen brought it close to him to show him the "glass onion" watermark, the scene is just shot so you don't realize how close they are

@@ultimatedbz2that napkin doesn’t mean shit.

The ending is actually the idea of Miles "disruptors' speech coming into fruition by Helen. She did exactly every steps what Miles described a true disruptor would do.

It's a vain director doing things for his own amusement (and his dumb circle of friends)

Helen breaking all the glass hurts ne for some reason
