Glass (2019)
W/ its nice presentation, it's just so painful that the crucially flawed element is the script's dramatic priorities.

All I would do is rewrite the film to include a full character thread for David, including his relationship w/ his powers and his son.

Instead of him just vanishing from the entire 2nd act and waking up after a literal nap for the ending, I would include him!

I love the idea of the Clover Organization being beaten by a normal guy, not because of his strength, but his normalness.

And I know M. Night craved subversion. But David does NOT seem like he's been doing this for 20 years. He and his son are shown to be PITIFULLY disorganized and unambitious if you think about it.

Their last scene together is in the hardware store! It's so painfully underwritten.

I don't think it would have been SO bad for David to lift a car at the end like in Action Comics #1, something UNMISTAKABLY super.

Because in the context of the film, slowly bending a bar isn't going to convince ANYONE of superheroes. Like, come on M. Night. Listen to yourself.

I actually really hope he gets to release the original cut of the film someday, which is 3 hrs and 20 min long.

In this case, I ACTUALLY think that might save the whole trilogy. Because Glass frankly feels like it's missing half of the film and it turns out it kind of is.
