Why Mitchells vs the Machines is GREAT 

everyone: ohh, this is a "technology bad family good" movie with a generic one-word title the movie itself: uno reverse! also, the two main robots were golden

Let's just appreciate the fact that they decided to keep the original title rather than that lame "connected " title .

I know you made a point about this, but still. Aaron IS LITERALLY MY LITTLE BROTHER. Blonde hair. Loves dinosaurs to death. Talks about his favorites all the time. We went to a drive through dinosaur thing (they exist apparently???) and he pointed out inaccuracies in them!

"The technology jokes are too overdone" they say as an army of Roombas fall down an escalator.

"Dog? Pig? Loaf of bread?!" I love how the robots suffer logic errors with that dog. Plus, the furby scene could have fit in a horror movie, honestly.

One of my favorite parts were the subtitles for the Furbies when they attacked

I swear, Phil Lord and Chris Miller turn everything they touch over at Sony into gold.

I really like Katie and Aaron's relationship in this movie. Felt so refreshing to see siblings as friends and not just arguing for the sake of comedy. BTW, Imma start doing the Raptor Bash to people! 😂

Her eyes for Soul: •● Her eyes for Raya: •● Her eyes for Mitchell's vs Machines: ⊙⊙

For a genocidal misanthrope hellbent on petty revenge, PAL was absolutely hysterical in every scene she was in

Let's appreciate the fact that the dynamic between the Mitchells feels very natural and fun at the same time. Everybody has their own problems instead of one person ruining it for everybody. The bond between Katie and Aaron is very wholesome and the conflict between Katie and Rick is something we can all relate too. And also that goddamn animation is SO GOOD! it looks like a 2D painting!

To sum it up. Dysfunctional family finds their function in their little quirks. They don't have to be their "opposite perfect family" They are who they are

I did relate to Katie's story where you're going to your dream college (mine was animation college) and there was a lot of doubt from family members worried I couldn't make a living off it, but yeah in their case when they saw I was starting to make money off my online stuff, they started showing more support for it

Just so we're all on the same page here, Eric and Deborahbot are precious little beans that deserved to be protected forever

Can we appreciate that Sony did a movie involving phone overuse that was actually good?

My favorite moment of the family is when the mom goes back to save Deborahbot instead of leaving him. It shows that she already considered both of them family and not simple products.

One thing I personally liked about the movie was the portrayal of the younger brother. Now, I don’t know if this is canon or not but as someone who HAS Autism and has trouble talking to and approaching people that I think might be really cool friends, I found his side struggle with that and his clear hyperfixation on dinosaurs was an interesting way to possibly portray Autism and I ended up relating a lot to him because of that! If they were going with an autistic younger kid, I applaud them for the way they portrayed it as a thing he has rather than his only personality like some other films do.

Ok i'm sorry but I just can't get over her calling the Mitchells the "Micheles" Edit: Guys please stop replying I’m getting so many notifications

I love the fact that they clearly made Katie lgbtq+, but didn't make the story about that. It wasn't her whole personality and it was subtly hinted until the video call at the end. She wasn't written with these big stereotypes, and the character Katie was just generally written well.

I’m not sure how many people have commented on this but I feel like they handled the “big reveal” trope between Katie and Rick (the dad) incredibly well. He was visibly hurt by Katie’s lie but he did not get angry or frustrated with her... something I cannot say that every film between a parent and child does right. After feeling defeated, it jumps to Rick finally understanding his daughter and her pain... how beautiful is that? Also, even if it was not Rianda’s intention write the characters as neurodivergent, there is so much evidence that they are (specifically Aaron, Katie, and Rick).

i think we can all agree that the furby scene was the resurfacing of childhood nightmares

Now this is an example of taking a bunch of familiar tropes and making them fresh and entertaining again. Katie and Aaron have one of the best big sister/little brother dynamics I've ever seen. They're not just yelling "GET OUT OF MY ROOM!" at each other. They genuinely enjoy spending time together and deeply support each other and I absolutely love that.

I wish that disclaimer about "Michelle's" was at the beginning of the video because it was seriously causing me psychic damage lol

Actually, now that you mention it, that title is brilliant. Mitchells with a hard ch and machines with a soft ch is similar to how unorganized and blunt the family is vs the sleekness and coolness of the robots.

Also I like how Katie being lesbian is not mentioned the entire time like in other movies when it’s not really important

As a kid, I was literally the son character. I was absolutely OBSESSED with dinosaurs, I have blonde hair, MY MIDDLE NAME IS AARON, like wtf.

Sony 2017: joke of the animation industry (Emoji movie) Sony 2021: Releasing some of the most creative films produced (Spider-Verse; Mitchell’s v. Machines)

"Goku is hella strong and can blitz like everyone" "Can he beat the psycho mom from the third act of Mitchells vs The Machines tho?"

something that i didn't hear being mentioned is the autistic representation, the hyperfixation of the little brother with dinosaurs, and katie stimming with her sweatshirt pullies when she put her phone down at the dinner table and so many other details and i love that the story wasn't about overcoming it, just main characters who just so happen to be neurodivergent

My favourite scene of the movie when the blonde kid is just calling random people to talk about dinosours

I feel like I'm going insane not seeing anyone mentioning that she's saying "Michelles" and not "Mitchells"

I loves the scene where Pal was like 'Sorry I'm the problem!?' Not in the sense she wasn't causing the end of the world, and more 'Smart phones are not bad' Also I liked how the film did confirm Katie was gay, I was suspecting she was at the begining via her voice over and it was nice to confirm it at the end.

As a student just about to graduate from high school, you wouldn’t understand how much this movie resonated with me. I appreciate movies that are able to target multiple audiences especially when it comes to 1. Being a younger brother who has to deal with an older brother leaving for college 2. You yourself applying for college and possibly going there in the near future 3. A mom who has to understand that no family is perfect and the one you have is amazing 4. A father who must understand to let go of their child as they become an adult. These are simplified, but my god this movie resonated with me so well, and on top of that its god tier funny makes this movie practically a blast to watch

Ok so why is everyone only talking about the comedy and animation (yes its good) but no one is talking about how they got a LITERAL PUG to voice act just for this movies pug.

When the rumbas fell off the stairs I almost had a laughing stroke

I used to think that movies with LGBT characters who didn't shout out loud they were gay it was because they were cowards who were too afraid of openly admitting their characters are gay, however I see now that it's because it is supposedly not something that should be made a big deal out of and should be taken as just normal, and it's usually the fans who take care of making a huge deal out of it

Moral of the story: Give literally every animated movie to Phil and Chris.

Maybe its just me but I can't believe that this movie's "theme song" is a pop banger from 2008 that I swear everyone but me forgot about

Okay. But those scene where the furbies were introduced was genuinely scary to me. I had nightmares of those when I was smaller and the fact they looked so realistic in this movie was sent shivers down my spine. Let alone when the big furby was introduced 😓

As someone graduating and going to film school in the fall while having a rocky relationship with my father, this movie felt like a direct attack 😭

Eric and Deborahbot can have my soul I love them

The really bizarre thing was that her father waited until the night before she was leaving to talk to her about having a back up plan. Of course she needs one, but that's a conversation that they needed to have years prior.

I can't believe they made this a Netflix original instead of putting in mainstream

The Mitchell’s vs. the machines is my favorite movie of 2021. I love how it turn a bunch of movie tropes into something original that is actually not painful to watch, my favorite scene was definitely the furby uprising and how they spoke to each other.

I'm not sure if the writers of this film meant to do this, but I really got the vibe that basically none of the Mitchels are neurotypical- in fact, they all seem to have a different level of ASD/ADHD, which can sometimes lead to people having miscommunications between one another. I'm sure others have written more about that topic but as an ASD-ADHD mix myself, I saw a lot of familiar behaviors portrayed- and not in a bad way either, which is refreshing if they did it on purpose, given how folks like me are more often shown off either totally broken or as hyper genius

Glad this movie is getting praise. I remember back when it was announced, everybody kept calling this movie 'generic'.

Can we just take a moment to acknowledge that Linda asks if Katie and Jade are official yet and if they're both coming to Thanksgiving?

I've been seeing movies that are just FUN lately. No heavy deep heavy stuff just some fun with some light common sense lessons that we need reminders of from time to time. That was MvM was. That what the sonic movie was. And I loved both of these movies.

I really enjoyed this movie, especially for the animation, humor, and character interactions. Katie and Aaron's relationship was delightful as far as siblings go, and it's great how use their respective interests (film and dinosaurs) to bond with each other. Both of the parents were also likable in how they genuinely tried to connect with their kids, while also having strong personalities of their own. Oh yeah, and the robots and pug provided some of the best jokes in the film. Speaking of dinosaurs and road trips, my mom and I went on a road trip last year and we revisited an old dinosaur tourist stop that she, my dad and I went to back when I was a little kid. Part of me loved it for the nostalgic designs, but much like Aaron, there was another part of me that wanted more scientific accuracy. It was still fun all around.

I REALLY appreciate the fact that katie is lesbian (attracted to women not necessarily lesbian) and that is not a defining trait they focus on. It’s just another part of her but not something she revolves around. That right there, is good representation.

the "dog, pig, dog, pig, loaf of bread" is just modern image deep learning AI

My friend: hey did you Mitchell’s vs The Machine is a great movie. Me: why yes the sky is indeed blue.

I remember when I saw the first trailer for this movie and thinking “this is visually amazing, but I think the cliche robot invasion is gonna kill this movie.” So I was pleasantly surprised that it was received so well and everyone was saying it was more than that.

Sonys slowly evolving from one of the most hated animation studios to one of the most beloved, between this and spiderverse

I loved Katie sm, as a fellow queer girl I found her very relatable and liked that she was able to have a supportive family and have conflict with them unrelated to her sexuality. I really liked her relationships with her brother and her mom, and I thought the running bits she had with her dad (like the wooden moose and their song) felt authentic and their reconciliation earned, even if I found some of the beats in their relationship (like the split-screen "I don't get them" conversation) too paint-by-numbers to get into. This movie was such a fun ride.

I think the stop consonant in "mitCHelles" makes the title snappier to match the snappiness of the movie.

I'm sorry, I'm just so distracted that you're saying "Michelle's" the whole time, and not "Mitchell's". Edit: I'm glad you mentioned it during the video, and explained it. 👌👌

One thing I loved about the father daughter struggle in this was that they allowed the daughter to also be in the wrong and not just the dad. That’s one thing I hate about two characters conflict is that they always wanna blame one character instead of both

"Do safe stuff to pay the bills so you can make the actual original things" encapsulates most of Disney's history, especially under Walt.

My mom LOVED this movie, she loved the quirkiness and how it is relatable as hell cuz not every family is like the family they showed to be P E R F E C T. This a 10/10 movie to watch with your family

Favorite joke was the human air attendant and The "yum yum good" from eric

Calling it now, calling it the pronunciation of this movies name will be a Berenstain Bears style Mandela effect

One of the first movies where the main character with glasses ISN’T a nerd

I can’t be the only one who remembers this movie originally being called “Connected”?

One of my favorite parts “These rockets will be outfitted with *ZERO EXISTS* Your flight will last *FOREVER* And your last destination will be *THE BLACK VOID OF DISTANT SPACE* “

Another trend I'm kinda loving about this movie is that Lord & Miller just manage to take songs youd never think work for a climax scene and just run with it and make it fit flawlessly. First with Lego Batman (afaik),and now here too.

I think my favorite sibling dynamic is always "Hey, we're weird, let's be weird together". And it's so well done here.

I’m still disappointed that 3D movies are dying (again). Recent movies like this one, Soul, and the beginning of the Sonic Movie all have beautiful visuals. I wonder if they’d look even _more_ beautiful in 3D.

Aaron honestly is probs one of my fave animated characters of the decade tbh

Man, my favorite characters were definitely Eric and Deborahbot 5000. They were the wholesomeness this film needed and I was so sad when I saw them get taken over by the phone again. And so happy when they came back and imbraced their individuality :D

I'm glad they changed the original one word title of Connected to the more creative Mitchells vs the Machines.

The Wi-fi bit is so actually TRUE in the world now a days...

I absolutely loved watching this movie with my family, the only thing that we thought was weird was how they voiced an adult for the boy. After we got used to it though we enjoyed every second.

I'd say the biggest praise I can give to this movie (besides that is so damn near impecable) its how it succeed in managing it's main conflict, not the robots, but the Parent-Child issue. It's true, this conflict of "artistict child feels unsopported by their old fashioned parent (and viceversa) it's way overused, and most likely forever will be, its just a relatable issue that will be always be present throught the changing ages. But more often than not, writers shoot their own foot by unintentionally downplaying the issue, either by actively making one of the parties the "evil" to be defeated by the "good" character that is 100% right, or by extending the conflict in a way that its hurtful for either of the characters (specially if it hurts the one the audience is supposed to root for, usually by making them behave like assholes for the sake of drama). Where almost all pieces of media I've find themselves falling in either (or both) of these pitfalls, the Mitchells succeeds with flying colors, which it what makes the emotional parts and the bond of the family strike so hard, even if from a story stand point is both "predictable" and "unoriginal". By starters, since the beggining of the movie both characters are present to be in the right, and in the wrong, at the same time on their own ways on a way that feels both relatable and realistic. Katie is indeed unsopported by her father on her aspirations, but she herself tends to behave unpleasantly with her father, and what seal's the deal, that she directly states "go to the campus with my people, never to return", forgetting all about her mother and her brother who always supported her. Rick on the other hand, it's clear as day that he loves his family with all his heart, but his inherent disconect with her daughter interests and own experience at having to give up his "artistic dream" makes him shortsighted. But what makes him work is that first, he never reaches the heights of the "fantasy forbidding father" trope, showcased by making the break of the laptop a genuine accident (instead of the usual intentional angry destruction one, like in Coco on recent memory), and that he didn't put himself on the way of her daughter's dream. I mean, when he said that he "cancelled her flight" anyone else was scared? because I was, for a second I thought they would go with the route that he'd also cancelled her scholarship, something to be revealed at the climax of the movie to extend drama and making his character unlikeable. But he didn't, there wasn't any twist, the intention was his expressed purpose, take her to school, but having a last memorable bonding opportunity with her, and so he did. By making both characters flawed, yet relatable and likeable, the conflict didn't become one sided or overly simplified, and they didn't just nailed the introduction, but also de Resolution. To start, let's talk about the catalyst to the Resolution, the video Incident. The incident on itself its pretty common, show a harsh insult or conversation in secret to other carachter to reap the fruit of discord, by making the characters forget their development on the heat of the moment due to distrust. It's not inherently flawed, but the execution is so commonly messed up, either by making one (or both) characters unlikable with an overly assholistic behaviour, by making them dumb enough to extend the conflict at hand (like the Ford and Stand fight in the finale of GF), or just feeling either generic or artificial, the conflict it's too dumb easy to mess up. But here, by the moment the video scene happens, we as an audience know that Katie, though her words were true to what she really thought, it was so "long ago" that by the momment of truth we are aware that she doesn't feel that like that anymore (we aren't only told that, but we also "saw" it) , she still hasn't reached her resolution, but that third perspective look with new eyes to her behavior kickstarts her realization. Rick on the other hand, his usual role would have been to feel so betrayed that he'd fire back to his daughter (let's say, Mabel learning that Dipper decided to stay in GF), dooming them on the process, but he didn't what he felt was not betrayal, but genuine shock and sadness, completely natural to his character. He didn't intentionally nor stupidly stopped the cilinder, but the shock shook him enough to loose his grip with the lever (which was implied to be hard). And after the fact, did he scream at his daughter? did he recriminated her? did he even show the slightest bit of anger to her? No, the only thing he showed was genuine despair. So we finally arrive to the long awaited resolution, which for both character were short, but perfect. Katie, having come to face her own behaviour, clashing her old opinions, to her new ones, and its consecuences, is at a loss, she know its her fault, she understands that her words were her own, no one forced her to say it, heck, she didn't even need to say it, but she did, and Pal weaponized that against her. Both her parents are captured (and as far as they know, on their way to an innevitable death), she and her brother and all alone, and for the first time on the movie, she can't cheer her brother up, she hurt her "life long friend" deeply. Now, she watches the family tape, the tape she was unkowingly (but foreshadowed at the start) filming over, and comes to face with the truth, she used to unconditionally love her father deeply, and the two had a strong bond, but as a lot of us do when growing up, we forget. And then, she gets the payoff of the early conversation with her mother "why did he sold the house he built, his dream?". Because of HER, for her FUTURE, as predictable as it is for the audience, the character didn't know, heck, she couldn't possibly even conceive that, her whole life she has been so fixated in her dream, that she probably couldn't even consider how someone would willingly give it up. And yet, no matter how much Pal tried to downplayed, love really is a powerful thing. And what absolutely nails the scene, which makes it my favorite scene, just a simply short phrase. Again, put yourselves on Katie shoes, you've been fighting for your dream all your life, always felt alienated for your closer ones as a result, then one day you learn that one of them had the same dream as yours, but mysteriously failed at it. Nowadays you see that person, completely foreign to that goal, what would you imagine that happened to them?. Yet, at the moment of truth, was her father bitter? NO, he was understandably sad, this was his dream after all, but when told how hard his decision is on him, his inmediate answer? "Nah, its easy", while playing with his baby daughter. And then she realizes that no matter how much she felt allienated to her father, his father never suffered a mid-life crisis on unfulfilled dreams (like Bob Parr), given the chance, he would do the same, again and again. As a person that's currently on university, the scene reminded me how grateful I am to my parents, how lucky I am to still have them, and yet, how horribly I got to treat them at times while sorting my life on puberty. And for a parent, I can't even imagine yet how hard the scene must hit. I watched the movie again through and adult streamer with a baby girl, when the scene ended he inmediately said "For her, I'd give up this house, though I finally have it accomodated to my needs, if it means her future, the choice in obvious", and when asked by someone on the chat "and what about how expensive is your setup", he inmediately, without a second thought answered "not as valuable as her". Not gonna lie, I almost cried. And finally for Rick, though even shorter, was also well executed. At his lowest, he finally gets to actually “watch” one of his daughters films, and as with every piece of art, its a reflection on its creator’s heart. Its actually very sad how its shown how Katie suddenly stops doing her Dog cop voice during her monologue, since its very personal to her. And Rick definitely saw that, he saw what scentially was a thinly veiled critique against him, and where oh so many characters inmediatelly go on the defensive, trying to justify their behaviour, he just listens to his daughter’s heart. Also helps that the video wasn’t a gratuit insult, it was a respectful take on the issue, for both sides. And so it’s believable how the father drops his despair, and when he sees his daughter in danger, he helps. So when he says to her what the “sargeant” should say on the “sequel”, it makes a very heartwarming, silly moment, the same as the family itself.

There was one scene that showed Katie texting her friends and the amount of typos that were corrected with autocorrect called me out on a personal level It's the little details that make me really appreciate this movie

A Lord and Miller film that Cellspex likes what a surprise

This movie basically did what Emoji movie failed at, and that is making a movie Gen Z's can actually relate to.

I absolutely adore this movie! Everything about it! The characters, the story, the art style, the humor, the chaotic animation- it's just incredible! And sure, maybe the plot is a bit familiar, and maybe the animation is a bit chaotic, but I feel like this movie was able to take those elements and make them work in the best way possible. Say what you will, but in my opinion, that movie is a gem and you cannot convince me otherwise! (Also, Eric and DeborahBot are easily the best characters in the entire movie. 😂)

7:56, I'm so happy that God watched and rated this movie.

What I expected this film's message to be: "phone bad" What the message actually was: "Communication is important" So refreshing.

I watched this with my family it hit very personally with all of us except my younger brother. Mostly because I'm Katie's age and heading off to college soon. But also because we have a loosely similar dynamic. My dad, while not particularly into what I do (graphic design) tries to understand it to the best of his ability and my mom is just incredibly supportive with whatever I do because she's also an artist. We all loved not only because it was a fantastic movie, but also because we know the utter chaos of just trying to understand each other.

If you look closely you can see small lines on them making the characters 3D and 2D at the same time lol

At someone who has been a teenager fairly recently, I emphasized so much with the characters. They really did represent everyone in a way that was realistic and not annoying. I think the best part of the movie is that it takes a 3 dimensional look at every issue.

I genuinely hope sony continues to add touches like this to their movies. It's makes them really unique and sets them apart from others.

I went into this movie cringing so hard, expecting a "technology is bad" movie. Like, Emoji Movie opening bad. I was very pleasantly surprised. I loved that Pal pointed out the foolishness of demonising technology, as did the other characters. I appreciated the throwbacks to sci-fi movies of the past that showed the obvious fondness the creators have for the genre (PAL being a reference to HAL, for example). I did find some of the humour and internet references a little forced, but the Furby fight was honestly, a genius way to work in internet culture.

My mom *HATED* "Scott Pilgrim vs the World", but she *ADORED* "The Mitchells vs the Machines"

Phil Lord and Chris Miller are the gods of animation,and this movie along with Cloudy,Lego Movie and Spider-Man in the spider verse,reminded me why.

You know I feel for Katie on an emotional level... random out of no where family "bonding" trips, having 1 or more siblings to be at your side to call out family bullshit with you, finding a (nontoxic) friend group to hang out with, ect ect.

*blinks everytime it's pronounced "Michelles" instead of "Mitchells"* Great video! Loved the movie myself actually made a crappy day good. Smiled and laughed the whole movie through

AND THE PUG WAS VOICED BY AN ACTUAL PUG!!!

This film really spoke to me as I connected with Katie and Rick's father daughter dynamic in the dynamic with my own father. Katie and I are both film school students who feel at times our father doesn't really get what we do, while Rick and my dad are two guys who prefer to work with their hands and don't really understand technology/or learn enough of it to kinda bungle their way through it enough to get where they want with it. Only difference is Katie is a new student while I graduated already, she's a lass and I'm a lad, and I didn't need a robot apocalypse to connect with my father XD Not sure why you are calling them the Michells when they are clearly named the Mitchells. Must be a silent T thing. Still glad to hear your thoughts on this pretty great movie!

I kind of forgot Cloudy with a Chance of meatballs existed until this video, and kept wondering why Rick being dysfunctional with a computer was so familiar

Employer : "so.... why should we hire you ? What's your most..." Artist : "I did Aaron's facial expressions in the Mitchells vs the Machines" Employer : "When can you start ?"

gonna talk about the gripes i have but honestly even if this seems like a long comment these issues are extremely small and i love this movie. its hilarious, the animation is nice, theres tons of nice little bits that are pleasant to rewatch (like i love the part in the mall when the mom gets taken away by a massage chair and just doesnt want to leave and even swats at katie for a second 'NEHY'). I recommended this to my friends right after watching it and i recommend it to anyone who hasnt seen it yet. im sm1 whoa from a family whos father figure is like the one in TMVTM (but my father is,,,, on a much worse scale. and my mother is also the same as my father in that way) and they got the way the dad acts really well, im glad it shows that a family that seems dysfunctional could come together if both sides are willing to work together. a eeny weeny tiny thing i didnt like was when she saw the video tape of her father leaving the cabin he built for his family life and that kinda helped push her over the edge of going back and trying to save humanity again bc im very much 'you dont have to forgive ur family for shit things they do even if theyre related to you, being related is not an excuse (especially if the parent is shit towards the child for smth the child isnt responsible for and the parent is the one who decided to have kids in the first place)' type person but there were a ton of other things that helped katie and her father grow closer were she would want to save them anyways so its not a huge gripe i have even if i have spewld on for a bit djskdj there were some parts that felt a bit too much like "how do you do fellow kids i am not a company i am like you ahaha look at this funny meme" parts that felt awkward (the dad monkey edit, cat face filter) but theyre not in for long and theres plenty of other parts that are hilarious that definitely make up for it and rewatching it I found a few plotholes like why didnt they just to another retail store and not the giant super dangerous hq but i put it all off to movie plot has to happen and not be boring. plus literally any movie has plot holes so like eh edit: OH ALSO i love how katies gay, she wears a rainbow pin the entire movie, in the beginning when she said she felt different in more ways than just what she likes to do, and her having a crush on Jade and even her mom asking her if jade and her are an item yet. this next one is a headcanon but i like to think that Aaron is Autistic or just neurodivergent in some way, he has some traits of autism and hes hyperfixated on dinosaurs but also its not his entire character (if being autistic was smth they were going for for him) these are just things i really appreciate to see as a queer neurodivergent person myself (''':

The dog/pig/loaf of bread gag was the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in a while

Michelle vs. the Machines? Isn't it The Mitchells?

Take a shot every time CellSpex forgets that there's a T in their last name

0:11 _I will defend the Powerpuff Girls movie to my dying breath, damn it!_

one joke i remember is when their dad did the “beep boop” stiff robotic movements when the family were disguised as robots and one of the dysfunctional robots was like “that’s a hurtful stereotype about us, we don’t all act like that” lmao it felt like SUCH a jab at gen-z twitter.

I want to bring it up because I feel like nobody else really noticed. I love how the younger brother is coded as a Nero divergent. Dinosaurs are literally his hyper fixation and his mannerisms lean towards that too. And it was really well done
