The best theory I saw about the random guy in the background was that, since he's always holding a corona beer, he represents the pandemic itself that they are all pretending isn't a thing.

I love how the twist wasn’t that Miles Bron was a mastermind who’s been pulling the strings. It’s that he’s a complete moron who’s been yanking the strings

I love how mad Blanc is when he realizes how stupid this whole thing is haha

The guy towards the beginning who identified the music in the puzzle box was the famous cellist Yo Yo Ma.

13:30 This is a rewatch thing: As we later learn, Benoit never actually saw the working puzzles, which means he's deliberately needling Miles.

Once you rewatch this, you can see everything in plain sight, completely unhidden. Around 34:00, you see Dukes' phone in Miles' back pocket. You know it's his, because Miles doesn't have a phone. Once the lights go out and everyone is running around, you can see Miles holding a gun in the hallway. There is only one gun on the island. When Blanc and "Andi" run into each other the first time, he calls her Helen. Nothing is hidden, this onion is completely transparent. Also, as a southerner with a fairly strong accent myself, I like the line that he says to Helen, where he says he's going to "turn up the southern hokum". I do naturally have quite an accent, but it certainly comes with misconceptions/assumptions that you can play into to disarm people.

Blanc playing Among Us with Angela Lansbury and Stephen Sondheim was a great cameo. The last role for both of them.

Also it’s notable in the final shot of the movie w Helen sitting, she’s posed as the Mona Lisa

Well the thing about them is that their careers are now destroyed. Miles was literally keeping them propped up. They all were gonna be unemployed and their reputations ruined once Klear failed, so they figured if they were going to go down, they'd take Miles with them.

4:44 the "incredibly informative" man is world famous cellist Yo-Yo Ma

Fun fact: When the "Mona Lisa" burns at the end, you can see that it's on canvas. The actual Mona Lisa is painted on a wood panel, and it's also slightly smaller than the painting we see here. Conclusion: Miles asked to rent the Mona Lisa, the French government said ok and charged him a sh*tload of money and sent him a copy, and Miles was too stupid to know the difference.

It is my wish that after 3 or 4 movies, they do a finale with Marta, Helen and the heroes of the next movie(s) all caught together in a mystery involving all of them and Blanc.

Crazy thing about the Mona Lisa isn't important because it's Divinchi's painting, It's famous because it was stolen. In fact no one even noticed it was missing because no one cared about that painting. It's only when it was found, and returned that it became famous.

15:08 A slight spoiler, but important connection for Knives Out and Glass Onion and Benoit’s presence is that the killer hired Benoit in Knives Out. Therefore, it is assumed in Glass Onion that the killer or pre-killer would have done the same here before we see the twist.

Yo Yo Ma was the one who delightedly explained Bach music structure during the early solving of the box puzzles. My favorite of the many, many great cameos. Did you hear the Beatles’ song “Glass Onion” playing in the end credits?

The "Pod" was how we were supposed to socialize in groups of *maybe* 3-4 trusted people at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

one of those reactors that look for all the Easter eggs pointed out that that actor who played Derol was the actor who played the state trooper in "Knives Out". i fell on the floor laughing when they pointed that out. I knew i heard his voice somewhere.

You guys kinda missed the point of a glass onion. (He took the name from the Beatles btw.) Remember Shrek? An onion has layers. You're supposed to metaphorically you find out more than the deeper you go. But a glass onion, you can peel back the layers, but what you're looking for was right in front of you the whole time - you can see through all the layers.

Someone else pointed it out, but I truly love that the last shot of the movie is the camera moving in on Helen's face at just the right angle so that her smile looks like the Mona Lisa.

Omggg i actually just noticed this but when Blanc was looking for'Andi' when the lights were off, Blanc actually called her by her real name 'Helen'. I just noticed this now😭😭😭

I love this movie and I saw so many reactions to it,and it amazes me that nobody notices when Blanc sees “Andi” and calls her “Hellen” not one so far, gonna keep looking 😅

All the other guys get their commupance later anyway. Did you forget the the Governour and Sientist both endorsed klear and Birdy still has that thing with the sweatshop. Whiskey is probably the only one that doesn't get destroyed. But she didn't really do anything bad besides supporting Duke to further her own goals.

They're all still getting comeuppance. Claire and Lionel already signed off on using Klear in a powerplant and a manned mission; even if they stop the projects once this comes out they are both utterly screwed for their negligence and corruption. And Miles can no longer buy out Birdie for her shares with the Bangladesh thing, so now she's gonna go down for the sweatshop without any financial bail out. Peg goes down with Birdie, which kinda sucks for her but at the same time she chose to spend a decade helping Birdie avoid accountability for anything so meh. The only person who won't get major comeuppance is Whiskey, which is fine because she really did nothing wrong in the first place.

The thing is... All 3 remaining members of the Disruptors at the end are still ruined. The Governor betrayed her core constituency when she signed off on the clear power plant. Without Miles her political career is over. The Scientist leveed his reputation to sign off on using it on a manned mission to space. Which when the reality behind this event gets out will ruin him. And Birdie, without Miles' money to buy her out is screwed because of the Sweatshop thing. So they're all ruined. They've just decided they're going to take him down with them now.

4:43 That is Yo-Y be o Ma, he’s a very famous composer and classical musician, he would know classical music, that’s the joke.

I swear Kate Hudson is one of the few actresses that can make a character like hers likable and still be "That Dumb Bitch".

fun fact: Darryl was played by the same actor who was a detective on the first Knive's out movie.

Batista as Joe Rogan

the leto drink and renner hot sauce don't actually exist btw

looking back, i realized that all the details were there, andi's demeanor, what she was wearing before and after the box puzzle thingy, and everything was in place. great movie

I loved this movie. I think Knives Out is better though. With this movie, I think the twist is better but because Knives Out was such a surprise deconstruction, the twist lands better there than here. Here I was expecting this caliber of twist. As to your point about the comeuppance, Birdie's done because of Bangladesh, Claire is done because Miles bankrolled her and now he and she are broke, and Lionel worked his whole life at Miles' companies and got that job due to nepotism Miles' credibility is shot and so is his. Things about this movie: -The guy explaining what a fugue is is Yo-Yo Ma, a famous cellist. -The override button was a “Fool on a Hill” because that’s what the killer is. And a bunch of the statues in the living room references the songs mentioned in the Beatles song Glass Onion -It takes Blanc so long to figure out the mystery because he is "very bad at dumb things." -The Beatles song Glass Onion is about people over analyzing the lyrics to Beatles songs. -Helen being the only disruptor and destroying the Glass Onion is foreshadowed at the beginning because she straight up destroys the box instead of playing Miles' game -Helen and Andi part their hair on opposite sides, like Christopher Reeves did when playing Superman and Clark Kent. -The names Helen and Cassandra refer to Greek mythology. Cassandra was Paris' sister who could see the future. She predicted that Helen would burn down Troy but no one believed her. -Derol played by the fanboy state trooper from Knives Out

The rest of the disruptors definitely got screwed over too. Yes we see Miles lose everything but when the news breaks about what happened on that island during the PANDEMIC they are royally FUCKED! The political career is dead, Birdie was already over with she only stayed afloat because of Miles money, the scientist put that disastrous fuel in an investor’s home, so they just ruined his career as well. tbh it'd be so much better if miles just confessed to murder cause this is the worst outcome for all parties except Blanc and maybe helen. granted she did just commit so much property damage and arson so😅

I like that nobody recognizes Yo-Yo Ma but everyone that does know, never wonder why he's at huge party during peak Covid.

Great reaction. Claire, Birdy, and Lionel are also getting comeuppance, just differently. They’re all so tied to Miles that there’s no way their lives aren’t going to be tanked. They’re all so tied to Miles that there’s no way their lifestyles aren’t going to be tanked; Lionel and Claire signing off on projects related to Klear and Birdy with the Bangladesh sweatshop thing are all bound to come out in the aftermath of Miles’ downfall. Claire, Birdy, and Lionel are also going down. Also want to point out that this was also basically an elaborate game of Among Us, with Benoit and Andi as the imposters winning in the end.

Jereny Renner affected the plot more in this movie than he did in any of the Avenger's films

Damn, nobody knows Yo-Yo Ma.

The guy in the beginning saying the name of the song is Yo Yo Ma

Whoever does the interior design and character outfits for these movies really do a great job

The guy talking about music was YoYo Ma, the cellist

the biggest proof that miles is an absolute idiot; man just committed a murder, sees the women he apparently murdered alive AND suddenly has a renowned detective show up unannounced to his island. this should have been the biggest read flag for him but he is not only oblivious but embraces it.

Janelle Monae stole this movie with her excellent performance

I was so sure when I thought that it was Whiskey who stole the gun

The guy commenting about the music is Yoyo Ma

1:02:15 a little hint Duke told people earlier he has all the disruptors in his feeds so he gets news about them as soon as it hits the net

Out of context spoiler.... Rule of Thirds. 😆

If you like murder mysteries. I recommend (if you haven't already) murder on the orient Express. It's so good! I love Agatha Christie!

Poor YO YO MA never getting recognized 😅 he’s just one of the “podcast members” 😭😭

To be clear the end scene with the Disruptors turning on Bron is both because they no longer have to bow to Miles but also to protect Helen Miles tells them they all know what happened, in order to try and get them to blame Helen for blowing up the Onion and Mona Lisa, to get the blame off of him The disruptors instead point out that they are willing to say the truth, even lie for it as Helen asked them in order to protect her as well as take miles down If they were just in it for themselves, they would join miles like they did against Andi and blame Helen to protect him instead they’re protecting her and avenging Andi, Duke and etc as well Helen was the one who freed them from Miles grasp, so they’re going to back her.

I love how at the end you guys confused Hydrogen for Helium, and saying the helium will go BOOM. But helium is an inert gas so it doesn't react all

I suspect Helen might come back to work with Blanc as a duo in the next movie. Like a Sherlock Holmes and John Watson type of thing. Blanc complimented her on her skills a couple of times, and also at the end, when he asks her if she's ready to go home, she doesn't answer. I think she might be contemplating asking Blanc to take her in as his assistant. But we'll have to wait for the next movie to find that out!

We all saw what happened. That man in the middle threw that cat into the table, the evil bastard. The internet's coming for him as we speak.

If you enjoyed this murder mystery, may I suggest A Haunting in Venice? Amazing movie, has Kenneth Branagh and Tina Fey in it

He really needs to watch Knives Out!!! One of the best movies I've ever seen. I was worried about this sequel not matching up to it but no, it did it justice. It was incredible with a cool twist and it is very very rewatchable. Never get tired of watching both Knives Out and Glass Onion And I'm pretty sure that's Benoit's husband not boyfriend

4:02 what the hell h man

They ARE getting their comeuppance. They were all dependant on Mike. Mike's reputation is ruined, and he's probably gonna have to pay A LOT to make up for the Mona Lisa being burnt. Claire and Lionel both signed off for Klear to be used, and it just blew up the mansion and the Mona Lisa so they're going to lose all their credibility. Also Claire was partying on an island during the pandemic so that's an extra hit. Birdie's reputation is going to be ruined because of Bangladesh. The only thing that was going to save her was Miles paying her off, but now that he's ruined, it's falling through so she's also ruined (and so is Peg). The only one who gets out somewhat unscathed in the bunch is Whiskey, but she also lost her main support: Duke. She's not ruined but she's probably going to struggle more now.

I didn’t know this was a Sequel.

They got their comeuppance. Miles saved their careers. Without his backing, they will fail. But they are done with his games.

Does anyone have an explanation to why politician lady slowly got a rash towards the end of the movie?

Can you do the reaction of Ready or Not or Knives out ?

JFC guys, you never heard of a "pandemic pod" (not a podcast)?

44:00

No one recognizes Yoyo Ma, no one recognizes Angela Lansbury. Cool, BRO.

Ok but when are we gonna do this with real billionaires?

If Miles knew Andy was dead, whyd he send a box to Helen/Andy

bro theres noooo way u called the ending. u had to have watched this beforehand

Why no Ruff here? :(

The real flaw in all of this is if Milo wasn't such an self-absorbed idiot he would have removed Andi from the auto mailing list for the boxes.

esse filme tem scena improprias para crianças , pois quero ver com minha filha ???

you all talk while watching and thats why you are all asking questions that are already being answered on the screen. example-- the blackout. miles told blanc the reason but because you were busy talking and not paying attention, you spent the next few minutes asking why. 2nd- you asked if the real Andi broke the box. because you spent the entire 2nd half just talking, you also missed how Helen said she was the one who broke it. pretty bad reactors imo. do better next time. your discussions are not that entertaining if u keep missing key points in the movie.

You should of just watched the 1st one once more over this movie as white guy did it and minority woman the hero. LOL Rian Johnson Has Never Had An Original Idea.

You guys saw through SO much stuff, I'm impressed! But then you went back and forth on a lot of things so I was so entertained. But also... Helen as Andi parts her hair the other than the real Andi did. I agree with the ⅔ that say the Shitheads should not be forgiven for anything.
