ending stuff
really enjoyed it. story was super thin but it was serviceable. i remember listening to the russo's when they made civil war, that actions scenes need to be in service of the story, otherwise who cares. this movie is REALLY pushing the boundaries on that. the actions scenes all made sense for why they were happening, but i wonder how much less we would have cared about them if the main character was someone the audience didn't already have a connection with. chris hemsworth is very much like the rock, in that even if he's in a bad movie, HE'S still enjoyable because of how charming he is.
i think it's totally fine for him to be alive, outside of it being pretty unrealistic based on the type of wounds he had, but whatever... it doesn't screw up his arc, is what i mean. his whole thing is that he wanted to die because he wasn't there for his kid. if that IS him at the end, then it shows that he gave up his life (metaphorically) to be with the new kid. he's not a merc anymore, he can't be. the merc died, now he can be a father.
but it also could make sense that it's just the kid seeing hemsworth as a blurry memory... though i don't quite buy that, since the kid makes the point, you don't drown from falling in the water, you drown from staying in it. when hemsworth sits at the bottom of the lake, we never actually see him get out of the water, but we DO see the kid get out of the water, making the point that he isn't wallowing in guilt or self-pity, he's moving forward. which would mean he SHOULDN'T see hemsworth all fuzzy.
