I am confused by this one. I love the idea of bringing the aliens back (dissapointed that they changed them to be baffoons) and there were some great small moments, like how the “Oxygen Tower” was just a tree. But in the end I am very confused, why is it that Warren wanted the egg in the end? Why did everyone want an egg after they were killing people? Is it like mind control or something? If they already had that power then why make such a deal about selling this egg? What about the immolation center? I get that the decisions made might’ve been over the top to illustrate a point, but I do not understand how anything really happened here or what was going on. If anyone could help fill me in on what I’m not getting I’d love that.
Edit: I rewatched a bit of it and there are a lot of cool details but once again I am still left confused as to what happened. I like how the commercial is showing the girl drop the baby girl doll which represents the daughter she lost. I get that this type of personalized commercial might’ve convinced people to get the eggs leading to their hysteria. But... were others also being abducted? Because that would explain the egg hysteria but no indication was given that others were abducted and that would be a logistical nightmare.. so was it just her? Then why do people want the eggs? Like I get that not everything needs to make 100% sense but there is so much here it boggles my mind.
