The language with which both men talked about their families as possessions really stuck out to me. It's what led to one being unable to grieve his dead family and the other being unable to connect to his living family. The ending showed how viewing women as mere set dressing for men's lives ultimately leads to tragedy for not just the disposable women but for the men living in misery and loneliness.

Wow. That's a stretch right there. I didn't get that at all from this episode. Seems like that's coming from something personal. You need a hug?

@bcstorey I was thinking same thing as OP. There were a few striking times where characters had lines like "She's mine" and "She's mine forever" etc. So it's not weird to consider these things.

@sarahdevi @thoroughmas this is based on 1969. Womens were almost a thing for men at that time in America.
Is not so hard to pinpoint.

Or all of you want 2023 standards on the '69?
These viewers...

@sharkiller We are praising the thematic material of the episode. Nolan's Oppenheimer is set during WWII, does that mean we can't bring contemporary understandings of nuclear warfare to it? I'm not sure I understand why you're trying to police the kind of thoughts this episode brings up for people.

@sharkiller if you think that men don't feel the same way about women let me introduce you to Andrew Tate and his big following. Trump? Women's rights in 2023? Never read the news?

@bcstorey you didn't notice anything wrong with the way they talked about women? Maybe you're the one who needs a hug from a woman.

@the_argentinian . Nah. I'm good. You go right ahead, and have fun. You can't stay a virgin all your life.

@the_argentinian . You're still a virgin.

@bcstorey not even Deadpool would come up with such a lame comeback. You should look for other comic book characters to base your online personality on.
